Oh well

So long

*Sigh*

Guess it was too much to ask for the XBOX teams pockets to be a little shallower than normal.

Don't give up on this yet. http://www.petitiononline.com/rare007/petition.html We currently have 1122 signatures to revive the project.  As the 1up article said, in order to get this back in development we need to show Microsoft and Nintendo that we want it.

No it's not just that, the reason the game was canceled was they couldn't decide on a way to split the profits, that and Nintendo doesn't want to see that game on anything but virtual console, and Microsoft wants it on their xbox live arcade line up. Rival companies are not going to agree on anything or make sacrifices. By the looks of it no one is going to get it. The situation is just a bad one, Rare owned by Microsoft, Nintendo the publisher of the original, and Activision who has the rights to making or distributing an game with a bond name. So a petition would not do much at all to help the situation. It is now just between the two companies arguing over money and a game, and another just wanting to make a game, so don't get your hopes up.

But if they do release it on xbla, will it still have the nintendo logo thing when u start the game? or would microsoft change it?

Anyways i think if they are going to do a proper remake, or just fix up the graphics of the old game a bit, they should also go and see Free Radical Design, because most of the guys there made goldeneye 64 what it was (and David Doak was in the game), and it shows in their games like timesplitters 2 etc. (i mean the feel of the game). Anyways who would want rare working on a game these days? they used to be good, but now they are shit, as they have proved with perfect dark zero (which is one of the worst games i have ever played).

They got all of rare's assets from the original so it would be a complete and proper remake.

...anyways i think nintendo and microsoft should stop arguing over who gets the money and just give the fans what they want.

Saiz already explained why....

[mbsurfer]

Fack.. just because of the money?

Bunch of Micro$oft cheap jews..  No offense nowhere

Not really.

Put enough money on the table and someone will bite. Nintendo wants a percentage of money from every copy sold on XBLA. Microsoft wants to pay one flat fee to Nintendo and then keep all the money from the game's sales. They couldn't reach a compromise, so they canceled it.

It doesn't have to be that way. If the consumers (us) show enough interest in the product then someone is going to realize that there's good money to be made here for everyone involved.

I was one of the first 100 signers on that petition, lol. Sure they usually amount to nothing, but I would hope that everyone who is interested in a project like Goldeneye Source enough to post on our boards would at least take 15 seconds to sign that petition. I intend to write some emails, and make some phone calls / written letters if possible as well.

Almost 5000 signatures and rising! Sign away... http://www.petitiononline.com/rare007/petition.html

Agreed. News sites are jumping in now showing support like Xbox360Fanboy - http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/01/13/fanboys-unite-to-bring-goldeneye-007-to-the-xbla/

With this attention, it's bound to get tons of signatures, in fact it's over 8,500!

[edit] Microsoft says it's Nintendo's fault not theirs (according to Kotaku's source): http://kotaku.com/344324/goldeneye-xbla-shitcanning-was-nintendos-fault

PS: Over 12,700 Signatures now

Major Nelson from Xbox posted this on the Twitter of his blog

My inbox has a lot of 'Save Goldeneye' emails. I will be sure topass them on to the right people.

Money rules the World... .

IMO the best agreement for the Gamers would be:
1. Nintendo doesn't get a single Penny for it, but...
2. M$ must bring the Game also onto the Wii-WareChannel.

So everyone could make it's own money out of it and a much more People could play Goldeneye.

But this Time I think M$ would deny.

So the only Thing we can do is sign the pettition, hope for the best but expecting the worst.

.... oh yea, and going on with this Mod. So we can play Goldeneye no matter how the Big Chiefs at M$ and Nintendo decideing.

That was the alleged deal by the guy who got the screenshot, but that one guy from Nintendo (sorry I posted it earlier, can't remember at the moment, but it's not reggie - he's all for the idea) said no to activision. Activision could allow it without them, but they want to stay on good terms with Nintendo. *shrug*
