I, too, would like to see a contemporary update of GoldenEye, but - and I'm no copyright expert - would such a thing be possible? In the truest sense of a remake, it would have to be based on levels from the game, as developed by Rare (a company that no longer exists, I don't think) and produced by Nintendo; however, EA currently own the Bond rights (until, from memory, 2012). Even though the original game was based on GoldenEye, the film, only a handful of pieces of those levels were lifted from that film; most of the game - in terms of its structure - was original.
I'll still pull out my Nintendo and GoldenEye every now and again, even if Perfect Dark ended up more or less surpassing it in every aspect.

GoldenEye Source will be the best Bond game since GoldenEye 64, and will be more supreme over anything EA will come up with in the next 100 years.
Half-Life 2 is such an amazing game. To utilize the physics and graphical power, will make GoldenEye great again.
This proves that GoldenEye has surpassed the test of time - something EA's games will never do.

It is possible, that the game may be rereleased on the next-generation Nintendo console since according to Nintendo you'll be able to download any previous Nintendo game (NES-N64) for an unknown fee.

If not, I'd like to see the original GoldenEye 64 updated for the next-gen console systems. This time they could have voice-actors and cinematics, plus orchestrated music by a famous person.
GoldenEye: Source looks amazing. Half Life 2 IS amazing!
(A friend of mine made the Temple multiplayer map for Counter Strike source. I played it, and it was fun. )

I think it should be left where it is. A classic, it'd be like doing a film remake of FRWL...

GE 64 is the perfect Bond game. It's like Connery, every game that is released is measured against it. It's the largest selling game in N64 history.

I don't think that there should be a remake of the game. GE 64 was one of the greatest games of all-time and should be left just the way that it is.

I think I phrased the title of this thread wrong. I was wondering if GE:64 was ever going to be rereleased? It's been a very long time since I have played the game (before I was a Bond fan) and I was wondering if it would be re-released on any modern game consoles.
I doubt that it will get re-released. I can't see there being a market for an old game that a lot of gamers already own. Unless there were going to be some improvements made to it (graphics, frame rate), then I wouldn't see where Nintendo or Rare (or whoever would actually be doing this) would have any incentive to re-release it.

Couldn't have said it any better.

Better keep your N64 (like me) b/c the chances of this game getting remade at this point are slim to none.
Two years ago, it was revealed/leaked that Rare had been working on and completed an enhanced port of the N64 original for Xbox Live, but that it was not going to be released. Shortly after, it was revealed that Activision (who holds the rights to create Bond videogames), Rare (the developers of the original N64 game and owners of that games code), Microsoft (who since 2002 have owned Rare) all gave the updated port a green light.
Rare had been working on the game (it doesn't take too long to port a game) while the legal issues were worked out. The deal was that Microsoft would obviously get the enhanced port (w/ online multiplayer like the Perfect Dark remake) and Nintendo would be legally allowed to put the original N64 game on the Wii's Virtual Console and be financially compensated.
But Nintendo, who have partial rights to the original N64 game as well since they published the game, basically said "No." There are conflicting reports (it's never been officially stated) that Nintendo and Microsoft couldn't agree on the financial terms as well as Nintendo just didn't want GoldenEye on any console except a Nintendo one. Either way, it was blocked b/c of Nintendo.
If this deal had gone through, GoldenEye Wii would not exist. Btw, Nintendo has no rights whatsoever to GoldenEye Wii. Activision is free to port it to the PS3 or 360 if they so choose, but I don't think they have any plans to.

If they do remake the original N64 Goldeney game, I do hope they include many quirks (like the guards, when thought to be unseen, will aim their rifles at passing flies or randomly scratch their backsides).I would hope the entire game.
