Rumour 2: the GoldenEye 007 clone
Well, not so much rumour as wishful thinking. We receive lots of e-mail along the lines of "please please please please PLEASE make another GoldenEye 007!". But as "Ed's rumour report" on IGN said:
"Zoonami is not working on another GoldenEye. In truth, the company likely isn't even working on another first-person shooter. But whatever is coming from the England based studio, you can bet that it's going to be original."
BTW, the only person at Zoonami who worked on Goldeneye is Martin Hollis, former head of software development at Rare.

I hope one of those blanks is collecting.

Oh well.
Who would want another Goldeneye? I mean, another, nother, NOTHER Goldeneye. Just take Perfect Dark, which I've heard was better, and TimeSplitters 2, which I can confirm is better in most ways. These are both close enough to Goldeneye; but that's IMO.
How about hoping for a genre not already covered well enough? Adventure is covered; Racing will be covered soon; FPS is covered; RPG is... well, not covered enough, but I'd rather leave most RPG's to Square/Enix and Sega; what about Puzzle? I think a puzzle game is what's really needed, although that would have no effect on what they're actually making. You know, a NEW, INNOVATIVE, ADDICTIVE, MIND-BENDING, puzzle game. Makes you think, but also involves action, and doesn't get tedious, and things vary from match to match. I probably wouldn't get it anyway, but still, I think we Cubers need a new, effective, puzzle game.

Also acording to Zoonami's webpage it's not another Goldeneye .... (not shooter or racer)

Racer? No. Shooter? No. Nintendo supported? Yes.
Then it's an adventure game.

Yeah - we don't need another new Goldeneye. Timsplitters is the new Goldeneye. It's obvious that Free Radical has the ability to take on the First Person shooter. TS2 isn't as refined as Perfect Dark maybe - but they also didn't get to unreasonably delay it for two years like Perfect Dark was. Give free radical a little more time and I think we will have a perfect First Person shooter.
I really wish there was some kind of hint as to what Zoonami was making. I'm pretty sure it is NOT a Nintendo Franchise - it just doesn't seem right.
I don't even know where to begin speculating about what it IS though.

STORY: ...a small planet...strange...telescope...It looks as though...device...But the...a planet...entombed...
Just going from the clues they left us it definitely seems like a Sci-Fi style game. Most terrestrial bound games don't make reference to small planets and telescopes, so I expect space travel.

Yeah, and they could call it Pikmin! Brilliant!

How can a game developer keep their work so secret? Someone in England needs to find Zoonami's place of business and go look in the window.
well, their like 7 people, the might still live with their parents and work in a cave, certainly not easy to track progress on Zoonami work
Post by: rpglover on February 07, 2003, 10:45:35 AM
it probably has nothing to do with scifi at all..............they could be misleading us
all i care about is that the game is fun

If they are creating a new franchise with Nintendo then this could be anther small company bought to greatness by Nintendo, just like Rare.
