From Joystiq.com:

 

British mag to unveil Xbox Live Goldeneye info. Wednesday

 

 

After being endlessly rumored and then sort-of-confirmed, we were pretty sure the currently-in-limbo XBLA version of Goldeneye 007 would remain in hiding for quite a while (questionable videos notwithstanding). Apparently not, as British mag Xbox World 360 announced via its blog today that next Wednesday's issue will include the world's first hands-on impressions of the port.

The short announcement, which was slowly leaked via a screenshot jigsaw puzzle throughout the week, promises "never-seen shots and hands-on details" about the game's differences, improvements, and information on how we can "make sure this incredible remake does see the light of day." That last bit is a little worrying to us, as it implies there's still a chance the game won't see the light of day. What can we do to help? Circulate a petition? Protest at Rare headquarters? Sacrifice our pets to Satan? FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY TELL US!

That looks pretty good, the screenshot that is. But is that 60.000 at the top a FPS meter, like in emulators? I really want to see this come out, as I'm a huge fan of Goldeneye (I mean, who isn't.) But I'm iffy on that screen.

Yeah, I'm not posting about this until we hear what is actually in the mag. If it's just them reporting the news I'll pass on the 10 minutes it takes to make the post =D

Official response:

"The story in Xbox World 360 is based entirely on rumour and speculation. Unfortunately, we were never contacted by the publication to confirm information or participate in the story in any way, as we would have confirmed that we do not have the necessary rights to release GoldenEye on Xbox Live Arcade."

BS story just written up to increase circulation. I would be willing to bet their fiscal year ends right after that circulation of that issue is counted.
