Talking EA making GoldenEye 2

After weeks of speculation, the publisher announces a sequel to the N64 classic. In a twist, the spy actioner will let gamers become Bond villains.

Ending a flurry of rumors, Electronic Arts announced today that a sequel to the classic N64 James Bond shooter GoldenEye is in the works. Development of the game is already under way at EA's Los Angeles studio, and the game is due on "multiple platforms" this fall.

We look forward to continued success with this fall's release of a new chapter in the Bond saga and the creation of another blockbuster franchise in GoldenEye 2," said Travis Rutherford, senior vice president of MGM consumer products and interactive. MGM produces the James Bond film franchise.

While the existence of James Bond 007: GoldenEye 2 was something of an open secret in the industry, EA's announcement surprised many. In a twist that's sure to thrill anyone who has ever rooted for the bad guy at the movies, GoldenEye 2 will let "players become the ultimate villain in the Bond universe," according to EA President and COO John Riccitiello.

GoldenEye 2's story will follow a British secret agent who is dismissed from MI6's '00' (double-O) program for "reckless brutality." Like the fallen spy played by Sean Bean in GoldenEye the film, players will soon enter the criminal underworld. Eventually, they'll link up with Auric Goldfinger, considered by many to be the best Bond villain ever from the film that bears his name, Goldfinger. The game's goal will be to seize control of the "world's greatest criminal organization," which is presumably the S.P.E.C.T.R.E. crime syndicate. GameSpot will have more details on the game as they become available.

Sounds cool, but it's EA we're talking about . Although the last james bond seems to be real nice according to many people. Wonder if its a fps.

My thoughts exactly. If it was Rare doing this project, I would absolutly have no doubts that this game would be great. They better have done their homework over these past years. But like you said, it's EA we're talking about...

P.S. I bet if they flop this game up, they'll hang up their 007 projects for good!
