New hybrid of N64 classics GOLDENEYE/PERFECT DARK coming to Xbox 360?

By Matt Holmes /

Two awesome video games I couldn't get enough of during the Nintendo 64 days were GOLDENEYE and it's truly awesome sequel PERFECT DARK, surely two of the most brilliant first person shooters ever created. I still say to this day that PERFECT DARK might be the best multi-player video game ever made.

Now after years of crap, a will they/won't they port on either Xbox Live or the Nintendo WII which never seems to get resovled and a truly mediocre sequel (at best) PERFECT DARK ZERO on the Xbox 360, the rumors are hitting strong that a brand new game using the GOLDENEYE/PERFECT DARK engine could be in the works over at Rareware Studio's. A curious working title in development is BEAN PROJECT, which seems to be what's in question. Here's the scoop from Xbox Evolved...
I am talking about a completely different FPS created by Rareware using the same engine, and many of the same elements. One of our sources has revealed to us a few screenshots of the upcoming game, and the icon that you see for the game€™s info in the dashboard is that of the PDZ Joanna Dark for placeholder purposes, but the games title is not Goldeneye 007; it is instead €œBean Project€. The source wouldn€™t give much reason for this, but he advised it would be in our best interest not to post the screens online; instead we are opting to take them as what they are. They appear to be 100% legitimate, with the game looking very similar to Goldeneye, although some models, and other parts of the game are a bit different. The achievements for the game seem to fit also, one is for becoming a €˜00€™ agent, another for €˜007€™ and another for the now infamous silo mission.
This game obviously having nothing to do with the video game adaptation of the upcoming Bond movie QUANTUM OF SOLACE which Activision are currently handling. Could it be? Is a PERFECT DARK/GOLDENEYE hybrid... a brand new frikkin' game actually on the horizon for the Xbox 360? We've been burned before but fingers crossed!
