Forums - Nintendo Discussion - RUMOR - Activision's GoldenEye title a remake of the N64 classic

Nightwish224 on 03 June 2010

Personally I just want Microsoft and Nintendo to both release it. I'd buy it on both consoles, lol.



Everyone needs to play Lost Odyssey! Any opposition to this and I will have to just say, "If it's a fight you want, you got it!"

Why would you want to use a classic controller? If done like the latest COD or Conduit, the Wiimote nunchuk would make it a perfect game.

Quote for truth, but it's got to have the multiplayer. That was a hallmark of Goldeneye on the 64.

Hey I'd buy it if it's true! Doubt it is though.. E3 in a week and a half so we'll know soon enough :)

That's true, I didn't even think twice when I saw the classic controller in the post.  I would want this game to be controlled with the IR pointer and Nunchuck.

It would be Muti-platform if anything, I cant see Microsoft giving up what rights they have to the Goldeneye game though Rare without them getting something out of it too.

And if Activision is making the game you know they'll try to get every cent they can out of it so it'd be Wii, Xbox360 and maybe PS3 even.

I don't know legally what Activision would have to do to release a remake but I don't think Microsoft or Rare would need to sign off on it. Why?

Well simple I know PerfectDark was re-released on the 360 X-Box Live. But thats not all inside PerfectDark's remake were the 007 GoldenEye multiplayer maps. So essentially Rare remade the levels and without EA or Nintendo's permission put the levels on PerfectDark and they were able to do so legally.

So what does that mean? If Activision remakes the levels brick for brick with none of the origional product remaining. Then the product would be considered an origional work of art. If Activision changed the title from GoldenEye or maybe gave it a new name like GoldenEye:Resurrection.

Then I think because Activision owns the GoldenEye liscense and because the remake borrowed none of the origional code from Rare or Microsoft. Then legally Activision would have the right to release the title since they own all the rights via liscensing agreement.

If I have it wrong please point it out!
