GoldenEye 64 designer believes Activision bringing back the game because the name is valuable

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 10 Comments

This information comes from Martin Hollis, the designer of the original GoldenEye…

“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… I know and like Eurocom. I think they are a good company. I’m confident they have done their very best.”

I know reviving GoldenEye won’t please everyone, but I don’t think Activision asked Eurocom to remake the game only as a result of a business decision. Yesterday, we saw some really encouraging words from Activision’s Julian Widdows about the project, as well as the Wii in general. So I’m sure there are a number of employees at the company who wish to release a high-quality product for the fans.
