The team acknowledge ”things happen,” but they’ve no inclination to make something for XBLA or PSN. It’s ”been built” for Wii by studio Eurocom.
”We would really hope that everyone who wants to play it will go and play it this year,” said executive producer Julian Widdows of Activision. ”We’ve spent so much time and effort, personal time and effort… you know, kids have been born! There’s a list of GoldenEye babies somewhere! This is the console we’ve made it for.”
Frankly it’s odd they’ve decided to pass over Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network given their enormous user-base and the rise in classics brought ‘up to code’ with HD goodness, and how well they can sell digitally on both platforms.
”Never say never!” he said. Eurocom is developing GoldenEye for the Wii, and it was recently showcased next to Bizarre Creations’ 007 action title Bloodstone.
”Who knows? Things happen, don’t they, with big publishers? But for the time being it’s all about the Wii, and that’s really how we hope people will go and experience it, because that’s how it’s been built. It’s not been built for the PS3 and Xbox 360, it’s been built for this.”
Do you hope Activision comes to their senses and goes HD with GoldenEye?
