Goldeneye Developer Has Issue with Remake

Posted September 3, 2010 by Ben Strauss

Martin Hollis, a developer to the original Goldeneye, is not too happy with Activision for the new remake soon to come out.

"I imagine it is a business decision isn't it?" said Hollis. "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."

Though he is rather upset over the possibility of Activision ruining a beloved franchise, he is still supportive of Eurocom, the actual developer behind the remake. "They are a good company" and that "I'm confident they have done their very best."

I could care less about the Wii remake. My only issue is that they(Activision) are still preventing the XBLA version to be released. If sales of the Wii remake are really bad this holiday season they might just change their mind but I'm not holding my breath.
