GoldenEye 2 in doubt – EA's Bond Team Confirmed
Name indecision hints at Trevelyan no-show as Halo augments shooter.
It has come to light that the new Bond game currently underway at Electronic Arts may not be a GoldenEye sequel after all, following weeks of endless speculation over the future of the series.
GameSpot today carries a quote from an unnamed source who states that a game has "...been in development for some time, though not necessarily called GoldenEye."
Talk had suggested that the game would be a James Bond medley, with one level taken from a whole variety of Bond movie settings. Another strong rumour is that the game will see the player take control of the villain of the piece, though exactly what a Bond villain does, other than have his plot to take over the world foiled, remains to be seen. It is now thought likely that the new game will not be a GoldenEye sequel as was suggested by some sites who claimed, "Electronic Arts' next foray into the James Bond 007 franchise will be based on the 1995 movie GoldenEye," as an outright fact.
The same source also indicated that EA has indeed hired Dan Orzulak, a former Bungie designer from the Halo team, and ex-Silent Hill man Takayoshi Sato.

Dunno what they are playng at. They might as well just make a new game, that is like Bond but isn't a Bond licence. Beside this there have been plenty of other Bond films more deserving of a game to be made based on them. Goldeneye is a good game, but it's also the past, we all have to move on. The Syphon Filter series manages to do it's own thing despite competition, and is entertaining. Also on the Bond subject, their is also the fact that their are other 00 agents, so why not play as one of them instead of Bond? There's a lot that could be done, but riding on Goldeneyes' back is kinda lame. EA should have chosen another film in the series. The nostalgia of Bond could have been in their favour, and introduced new gamers to Bonds old roots, films and politics of a different time.

Dude, it's f#c#ing obvious what a bond villain does apart from having his plot to rule/control/blow up the world foiled.
A Bodn villain:
1. Reveals the details of the plot to Bond who is bound (but not gagged, how esle would he make his smart-ass quips) and about to die.
2. Makes to kill Bond in an extremely complex manner (rather then just shooting him through the head)
3. Never has time to hang around and watch Bond die.
4. Strokes his pussy.
