According to Kotaku late yesterday, IGN put the video up and ever so swiftly removed it. Someone got a hold of it and uploaded it to YouTube, but it wasn't long before Activision removed it for copyright violation. At E3 we will know for sure, but for now we can only hope that the footage is authentic: GoldenEye is returning to Wii. And Daniel Craig is playing the part.
EDIT - The trailer has been taken down but we will bring you the authentic trailer as soon as it arrives.
We've been fooled by technology before, and certainly some of the visuals here are wanting, but we can hope that we're not being deceived by a MovieMaker mastermind and that when it comes to the connection between our dreams and our real lives, it's a bond that won't be broken.
However, this looks real. Even "goldeneyegame.com" is registered to "Activision Publishing, Inc". Only a few hours until we should see confirmation from Activision.

Holy god imagine if this is real...
Looks almost to good to be true, doens't it? Time will tell but if it's fake, it's a truly cruel joke...
It wasn't pretty, but the gameplay looks spot on. I not know what to think.
I like it, I hope the controls are metroid style/quality.
Hope this turns out to be true and that it exceeds the awesomeness of the original (or is at least on par with it)...
If (key word IF) this is true I see it as a pointless waste of time and it doing a disservice to the Goldeneye name.
Are they allowed to remake rare's game straight down to the level designs legally?
@Terra: i'm with you... i was disappointed by the graphics in this trailer too. hope they've got a better trailer to release here at E3 :/
If this is true, I at LEAST want the option to re-size the bounding box.
It has to be 100% real! Activision has been pulling this video off youtube since it first went up.
Ben94 is totally right. Activision has been pulling this off of YouTube left and right since it got leaked. How it can't be real is beyond me. I think it will be fully confirmed at the Nintendo presser later today, because Nintendo LOVES to totally overpromote their Wii exclusive third party titles (Monster Hunter Tri being a good example of that).

goldeneyegame.com is getting ready to launch! Theres a "Fedora Test Page" on there now
@Ben:
May I have a link?
@KanrakusPizza:
Its just www.goldeneyegame.com
Yeeeeeeeah! The one thing I'm hoping for the most... is that they keep the guns and their sounds intact. Oh, and the way it looks when you kill guys (see bullet thuds and they kinda crumple to the floor). That was my favorite part of the N64 version.
Uh, this is a bit weird. A "new" Goldeney with replaced main character? Is this a sequel or a remake?
And warning: It´s developed by Eurocom. They are not Rare in any way, and haven´t made one good game so far.
Of course it is real. Why would activitision remove it if it was fake? Nintendo or Activitison was going to show it off at their press conference and some one leaked it early.
Good News! I just hope they gonna ameliorate their graphics
It's not a remake! In fact it has nothing to do with the original. Rare has still all rights on the original game. Rare just doesn't have the James Bond/GoldenEye licence any more. So they couldn't release the Xbox Live Arcade remake (which was already in development) without a permission. But Activision now tries to abuse the name of a videogaming classic to advertise their totally new game. It sounds fishy to me and I'm really sceptical about the quality of such a cash in.
I would only buy a remake for Xbox Live Arcade (like Perfect Dark and Banjo Kazooie) or a release on Virtual Console.
@Faxanadu replaced main character because of legal reasons. Right now, the ORIGINAL game rights are being fought over by 5 companies. Nintendo, Rare, Microsoft, EA, and MGM. Each have rights to the game in some way or the other. Nintendo had the original system and publishing rights, Rare was the Original developer, Microsoft has a big contract with Rare, EA has the rights to James Bond as a video game character, and MGM has the rights to James Bond as a whole. Try being the lawyer for THAT one.
@That Guy from Faxanadu
"They are not Rare in any way"
Is that really a bad thing in this day and age?
i understand the whole nostalgia thing... but it doesn't make sense to remake this game instead of making an entirely new one. i mean, it may have been a great game 2 generations back... but that was 2 generations back. taking away the nostalgia, it just can't compete with most shooters of today. there's just no way. it just all seems strange to me.
@bro2dragons 2 generations?! I'm that old?
@jangonov
EA has nothing to do with Bond anymore, Activision has the Bond license now. And Activision was fine with the XBLA version, too. It's just Nintendo's whining that stopped it from being released...
It's impossible, ridiculous, and insulting...but deep down I'm still praying that it's true.
I've said some nasty things about first-person shooters, but Goldeneye was one of those rare ones that I've omitted from my comments about them. I hope it is real, seems like a strange trailer for a real game, but who knows, right? Hopefully we'll find out today.
It looks pretty legit. Couldn't Nintendo and activision sue if it's fake? Just curious because it says their logos.
I doubt it will be as good as rare's classic and the graphics look terrible but hopefully the gameplay will still be good.
Just confirmed: real.
video wont load
Looks like the video was removed in a matter of hours. NOW It must be real!
Also, the Fedora Test Page on the site http://www.goldeneyegame.com has been replaced with just a black page.
