GoldenEye is one of the most iconic and best shooters of the N64 and previous generations, but did you know that based on a false premise, Rare was worked for a YEAR on an HD REMASTER planned to come out for the 360??

Join me as we take a look at the CANCELLED Remaster of 007 GoldenEye and what could have been.

That got canceled? I thought it got leaked. Thought I played it once. Like the first mission. Fever dream?

Officially yes it was cancelled. The leaked version is playable from start to finish!

Wild. So a leaked version exists and it's fully playable and beatable but they just won't sell it? Weird.

Yep! And it only exists because lower Nintendo administration gave rare a false notion that executive would be okay with this
