Goldeneye on the Xbox 360 maybe? *gasp*

Goldeneye on the Xbox 360 maybe? gasp

Let me just get my breath back. I've just heard the best piece of gaming news for a long while. That EA have let the Bond licence go to Activision!

So what could this mean? Well, Activision could now work on making the old Goldeneye game graphically rich - if, of course, Microsoft and Rare agreed. But I'm sure they would, considering the amount of people holding out for a Goldeneye remake. Or maybe Activision could work closely with Rare to make something spectacular.

EA were stubborn bastards when it came to Microsoft. PS2 had online EA games long before Xbox LIVE did, maybe Activison has better ties with Microsoft - or maybe even Bill Gates will just 'aqquire' Activision over the next few months, who knows.

Of course, Microsoft themselves would have been a better candidate for buying the Bond licence - but with EA now out of the picture, who knows what might lie around the corner.

Real information:

"The licence entitles Activison to make movie-tie-in Bond games, as well as Bond games that are stand-alone, and Activision's licence lasts until 2012!"

The sauce goes right to the source.

Ubisoft would have been better off getting the Bond rights. Ubisoft and Free Radical and Bond rights = nice.

Would be lovely I'm sure, but Nintendo published Goldeneye and I doubt they are going to like it! The msot liekyl would be an agreement between Nintendo and Microsoft to allow the old version to be downlaoded on the Virtual Console and Xbox Live Arcade.
