What's happening at Sundance?

Rumor: Video surfaces of XBLA GoldenEye 007


We'd like to direct your attention to the embedded YouTube video above. This video is somewhat special. Special, because it's rumored to have been uploaded by an employee from Rare showing off an in-house build of what GoldenEye 007 would look like as an Xbox Live Arcade game. You know, because there have been numerous rumors of an XBLA version being worked on. But the video is very controversial. Controversial, because nobody can be 100% sure that it's real or fake. The improved textures, framerate and gameplay lends itself to being real, but some say it could be a l33t programmer doing a ROM hack. You'll have to ponder this one and analyze the picture evidence. Real or fake? We dunno, but we thought this video was worth your attention. That is all. Good day.

Nintendo did not Publish Perfect Dark, so Nintnedo would have no say in an XBLA version of that.

You cannot change the graphics that much, let alone add newer character models in a simple rom while upping the Framerate.

Alos, explain how he can get to the gadgets without going to the watch?

It's real cause in the video the person swtiched to the camera on the fly and took the picture. In the game (and all the roms) you would have to pause it to switch to gadgets.
