Thought it might be, but this is the most definitive evidence imo and I felt it could use the visibility

The composer Robin Beanland was responsible for 2 tracks in the game. He's still there doing music for their games.
There MIGHT be only like 1 or 2 others left from the Goldeneye/Perfect Dark team, but I kinda doubt it. A lot of people on the internet wrongly assume everyone from the old days are gone from Rare, but that is actually one of the few teams from the old days that is basically nonexistent at this point.

I remember one reviewer stating the game morphs into a straight-up puzzle game when you try to beat the dev times and unlocking cheats. I couldn't agree with that statement more. Rare poured it ALL into this project.

Perfect Dark style remaster, completely new graphics on top of the original engine

Original engine sounds perfect. So the aim and movement should feel the same. Nice.

the original cancelled version also had a Halo style graphics switch button, not sure if this version is directly based on the cancelled 360 version tho, or if it is if it still has that feature

Apparently you can see them on XBL but it doesn’t work for me.

It’s a safe guess to say it’s the XBLA version that Rare finished 10 years ago and was leaked in full.

Thought it sucked back when it was brand new. Let's see if this changes my mind lol.
I hope it is a bit more reworked in the past years, new shaders , upgraded textures etc

If we’re talking about other Bond games, I’d also love to see Nightfire and Quantom of Solace

If this game ever releases, I'm truly interested what kind of reviews it'll get because everytime I hear about this game, it's supposed to be the best console shooter ever in he 90s.

well it is the best console shooters in the 90s, but that isn't saying much if we're honest.
it's pretty good tho. not nearly as good as Perfect Dark but good

Perfect Dark was certaint handled way better, but that was also made by a different team (4J Studios) and the more unrealistic and stylised scifi look is easier to modernize I bet

The headline reads as if there is a dev in the world, who is very rare, and who unlocked the Goldeneye achievement.

It's going to be free or like $10-20 max. And no doubt included with gamepass.

Presumably this'll be added on gamepass during the Microsoft/ Bethesda event. Which is ideal because I'd like to have a look, but I think it'll probably feel like the game from 20 years ago that it is.

I’ll definitely be buying it just out of paranoia that it’ll get delisted when I’m not paying attention.

Actually, the majority of the Goldeneye team left midway thorough Perfect Dark developement. Dev drama didn't get reported in the media back then like it does today, but Perfect Dark went through dev hell. The Project Lead of Goldeneye and Perfect Dark left Rare and took the majority of the core team with him and they formed Free Radical. The only person left of the core team was the lead programmer of Perfect Dark and he was promoted to Project Lead and Rare brought in a bunch of people from other projects to help finish Perfect Dark. Perfect Dark was supposed to be released in 1999, but it didn't get released until the summer of 2000. I guess Nintendo was pissed off at Rare, because they like their big projects to have strong sales over an extended period, but with the GameCube coming out in 2001, it hurt long term sales of Perfect Dark.

The project lead was Martin Hollis who left in 1998 and later formed Zoonami. David Doak and a few others were the ones that formed Free Radical. One of Goldeneye's composers, Graeme Norgate, left in 1999 and joined them.
I assume the lead programmer that you're talking about is Chris Tilston? He wasn't the only one remaining once the others left. Duncan Botwood, Mark Edmonds, and B Jones stayed and helped finish PD. And maybe some others I'm forgetting about.
Botwood and Edmonds stayed at Rare as late as 2008/2009!
But yes, the GE/PD team was the one that suffered the most turnover. It's just annoying when some people act like the Free Radical folks represented 90% of Rare's talent. Not pointing at you, just talking about other people in general

Not trying to bag on Rare at all. Rare has made some great games in the past and they continue to make great games. I'm a big Sea of Thieves fan and have been digging into Rare's history and back catalog over the last couple of years. I wasn't a Nintendo console owner back in the day, so I don't have much history with Rare's back catalog, other than playing a little Goldeneye and Perfect Dark multiplayer on my roomates N64 back in the day. I also really enjoyed Conker: Live and Reloaded multiplayer back in the day.The project lead was Martin Hollis who left in 1998 and later formed Zoonami.

The Video Game History Hour podcast did a nice deep dive into Perfect Dark and all the drama surrounding the development of the game. Of course when doing a deep dive into Perfect Dark, it's going to involve Rare, Nintendo, Goldeneye and Free Radical.

Visually, it goes without saying. Mechanically, I'd argue no. The only games on the market which play like GoldenEye 007 are Perfect Dark and the Timesplitters series.

to be fair, Nintendo should have given Rare a few more months and let them convert the game into a GameCube launch-window title.
that would also have done wonders for the framerate of the game lol.
