Activision registers goldeneyegame.com ~

Wake[of]theBunT:
The thing is, I doubt they are going to recreate it as faithfully as we are. They will model it after other modern games. It will be uber lame if they do goldeneye, guarantee it lol Can they even use all the things rare did since they dont own the rights to what rare did, really. They can only use the "goldeneye" name through the movie license, names of characters in the movie and james bond universe, and things like "license to kill". I would doubt activision can make "facility" a level, is my point, and if they can just because its a general thing, are they able to recreate it exactly like rare did, the layout? And if not, what the fuck is the point, to "almost" give us a remake. Just seems lame man lol

So therefore since it is likely not going to be canon-like except for some gameplay and some elements, perhaps they will leave us be. Especially if its only being marketed towards console. The bad thing for us even if we remain untouched, is they will give a modern SP experience to the world likely long before us :P *sigh*

Kinky:
LOL thats optimistic Wake. Unfortunately from their perspective throwing out a C&D takes next to no effort whereas at worst the amount you guys could be shitting on their sales could be astronomical.

Im not saying its gonna happen. Hell they could still easily can the project. Its just seeming more likely now that an before.

Mangley:
Lets not give them any ideas kinky  :P

I don't think GE:S would really impact sales of a new Goldeneye game, even one that came to PC. Realistically, even if everyone who ever played GE:S didn't buy it that would only be a small handful of people compared to how many sales retail games get, and something as iconic as Goldeneye? Well, I expect their sales could easily be in the millions.

They should know that dealing out a C&D could hurt them from a PR standpoint, GE:S is one of the most well known mods out there and has been featured in a few gaming magazines. They could get some serious negative feedback from doing something like that. Besides, we're potential customers and fans of Goldeneye just as much as anyone else, there's no sane reason to piss us off.

kraid:
If they do a Goldeneye game, i doubt it will be like a remake of Goldeneye 64.
My bet, they take their CoD, exchange all the maps, models, etc. with Bond stuff and throw it out hoping the big name will sell it before the majority noticed it's just another CoD.
