Yeah. Maybe in the new Perfect Dark they'll include the Golden Gun as a witty nod to GoldenEye, which the original Perfect Dark was built from.

Hope so. But there might be licensing issues involved... Which is also the reason why the remaster was never included in RARE Replay.

Perfect Dark was basically the spiritual successor to GoldenEye as, even used the same game engine... I think at that time the James Bond license had transferred over to EA before later going to Activision which is why we got Perfect Dark. (Someone correct me if I am wrong, my memory is hazy on stuff that happened 20~ years ago.)

Pretty correct from what i know.

Rare was in a bidding war with EA to obtain the license after Golden Eyes success, and lost to EA. Rare went on to create there own Stealth Agent game instead. PD was the spiritual successor to Golden Eye.

EA went on to make, i think Tomorrow Never Dies and a Dream Cast Bond game (cant remember the name) than Activision obtain the license etc.
