In an interview with Official Nintendo Magazine, original GoldenEye 007 and Perfect Dark designer and producer, and former Rare employee Martin Hollis talks about Activision's Wii remake.
He believes that the real reason for the game's existence is profit rather than passion, and doubts that the new title will do justice to the beloved N64 title. "I imagine it is a business decision isn't it? This name is valuable, let's use it. I find it hard to picture Activision's top management being excited about the original and wanting to do it justice. In fact, I find it hard to imagine them being excited about any game. It's my perception that they are trying to be EA, only more so. I think they are doing a fine job at that." - Hollis told the publication.
Regardless of his actual feelings towards Activision, Hollis praised Eurocom, the developers of the Wii title. "I know and like Eurocom," he said. "I think they are a good company. I'm confident they have done their very best."
The full interview will be published in the next issue of ONM UK.
I just think Rare and Microsoft are butt-hurt that they are not getting in on the Goldeneye remake. You could bet your last dollar that Microsoft would be liking their lips if it thought that port of this game was coming to the 360.
I think the producer described it as if they were making a present day game based on the movie, rather than just re-making the original game. In fact, in interviews they have made it a point to say that it is NOT a remake of the N64 game.And yet the promotional video shown at E3 described it as an homage to the original.

You know, with classic multiplayer modes like splitscreen and paintball!!!
Yeah, I don't have high hopes for this one.
