No it's not. Rare has no ties to the game AT ALL... at least now. They developed the game when they had rights to the property. They no longer have those rights. Those rights are secured by Activision. Nintendo is the one who published Goldneye 007 so they may still have something left in that. But Rare/MS has nothing in it whatsoever as they no longer have the rights to the name which means no rights to the games. When those went to EA, Rare forfeited all of them, including the rights to older games, and then EA later to Activision.
And no, that showed us what Martin Hollis and his team when they where with Rare could do. That team formed Free Radical and Martin Hollis formed Zoonami. It was Rare's game both developed and physically at one time but both of those are now gone with loss of publishing rights and the team that actually created the game.
As far as I'm concerned, Activision may be the only one who has any stake in this game. And they may only be having contention with Nintendo because they may still carry some kind of publishing right to the individual game meaning they wouldn't want it to be multi play while Activision definitely would. Rare on the other hand has as little stake in this as EA does. They don't have the licensing rights anymore nor did Rare publish Goldneye 007. They are out of the picture.
