More fuel has been thrown on the rumor fire that’s been raging since last year that suggests Activision is working on a Nintendo Wii and DS remake of the Nintendo 64 classic GoldenEye: 007.
Today’s log-o-chatter comes via a source close to Activision who told Eurogamer Activision plans to finally officially reveal the long suspected remake during E3 2010. The game is supposedly being co-developed by n-Space (Toy Story 3) and Eurocom, who worked on the N64 version of The World is Not Enough, and it's expected to be released in November.
The GoldenEye remake talk started up again back in April when Activision registered the domain GoldenEyegame.com. The domain Bloodstonegame.com, which just so happened to be the leaked name of the Bond-based driving game expected to be in development at Bizarre Creations, was also registered.
Then yesterday, various images of concept covers for the GoldenEye game popped up online via GoNintendo. The images reportedly accompanied a survey about the game. Most interesting though is the fact that last October, a former Eurocom staffer’s CV found its way online, and it included a listing for “GoldenEye 2010” for Wii. Clearly, all of these pieces are pointing quite strongly to the game being a go, but until Activision decides to officially announce it, consider all of this just spirited speculation.
Activision hasn't commented about the photos or any of these rumors, but I dropped them a line in case they're feeling feisty, so I'll let you know if I hear anything.

No.... just no.

I agree with XwingVmanX. GoldenEye was great in its day but shooters have evolved so much since then that it just wouldn't be that much fun anymore.

No, just stop right now. That is a game that can't be remade. It was great for its time and what made it great can't be translated to the standards of today.

Ok first and foremost I don't want a GoldenEye remake. To this day I still consider that game to be the best shooter I've ever played but what made that game so great was what it did in 1997. The last time I played that game it was virtually unplayable by 2day's standards. Putting a 'modern' coat of paint on it wont really change that fact. Also putting such a beloved shooter like that on the Wii? Talk about curtailing expectations.

I have perfect dark on XBLA so im set. theyre definitely fun to go back and play but these old games dont hold up great so you're not gonna be playing for months on end believe me

I would be happy with something along the lines of what they did to Perfect Dark for XBLA
I remember the last time they tried to do something with Golden eye.
Rouge Agent was terrible.
