    No, doesn't look like it. Sometimes independent people online put together some pretty cool custom physical products for these things though.

    They’ve never re-released it. They’ve made a few attempts at modernizing it or remaking it, but never a re-release.

    I've been enjoying this game on PC emulator in recent years, so I wasn't exactly crying out for a re-release, but I do like the idea of playing it on a modern Nintendo console.

    I do watch his videos, even from the other Bond games, particularly EoN. I'm only a casual gamer, so I enjoy sitting back and just watching others play. I think you got the name right!

    The video games I recommend the spy genre fans to play the most are:

    1. The Operative: No One Lives Forever (2000):
    After international intelligence organization UNITY's reputation is put in jeopardy when half the active list of its special agents are assassinated across the globe, the administration of the agency resorts to desperate measures in desperate times by placing a rookie who aspires to be a high ranking field operative herself, Catherine "Cate" Archer is assigned to investigate and find the trail behind the killings which eventually leads her to the terrorist organization known as HARM. Throughout the course, Cate discovers that there are deadlier schemes planned ahead than the world has known since the war.

    (I'd provide the piece with a link to a trailer, but none have been made that would actually sell the game to the viewer.)

    2. XIII (2003):
    Adapted from the widely known Belgian comic books of the same name, the story follows an amnesiac who wakes up on the shores of the Mediterranean, unaware of his identity and the occurrence that preceded his injury across his left temple. As he finds himself being hunted by mysterious armed groups whether they'd be mercenaries or the police, he has himself down to discover the truth, exploring the fact that sometime prior to present day he actually assassinated the President of the United States. Dismissing the belief that he's capable of pulling horrible an act as such, he wanders from one corner of the world to another to bring the truth up on the surface, finding himself being aided by two people who claim to be his former teammates.



    3. IGI 2: Covert Strike (2003):
    This has got to be the greatest stealth First-Person Shooter ever made, adding to the fact that Bravo Two Zero's Chris Ryan acted as a military consultant to the game, it puts the player in control of IGI operative David Jones in order to recover stolen EMP chips that would do more harm and damage than a nuclear strike if fallen into the wrong hands. Travelling from Eastern Europe, to North Africa and East Asia, Jones discovers the fate of the Western countries is hanging in the balance when a rogue Chinese military General, a madman plans to use those EMP chips to blindfold US intelligence and cripple the powers within, thus starting World War III.



    4. Return to Castle Wolfenstein (2001):
    Set against the backdrop of World War II, OSA (Office of Secret Actions, inspired by the real-life Office of Strategic Services) operatives William Joseph "B.J." Blazkowicz and Richard Wesley (more commonly known as Agent One) spark on a mission to investigate the truth behind ominous rumours regarding paranormal activities supposedly sanctioned by a high ranking Schutzstaffel leader and occult enthusiast Heinrich Himmler under the label "Operation: Resurrection", which it is believed he intends to use to win the war against the Allied Powers. Captured along the way, Agent One dies under a horrible torture while Blazkowicz breaks free and fights his way out, discovering both the use of heavy science and occult by the SS Paranormal Division is being carried out, thus racing against time to stop all the diabolical schemes before it is too late.



    5. No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in HARM's Way (2002):
    Sequel to the critically acclaimed and commercially successful 2000 video game, set in 1968, a year after the events of the first, Cate Archer once again finds herself pitted against HARM after rumours about a certain "Project: Omega" comes to rise that concerns the elevation of a global threat that would urge the world's superpowers, US and the Soviets, to succumb into a war. Setting her foot in numerous countries as well as infiltrating countless facilities to uncover information regarding HARM's undertaking, Cate once again has to make sure an international chaos is averted.



    6. Hitman 2: Silent Assassin (2002):
    Many regard Blood Money as their favourite, I personally prefer the second installment to the rest since this one happens to be the entry that speaks to me the most. After the events of the first game, Agent 47 leaves his life behind and resides at a monastery in Sicily, working as a gardener as well as trying to find peace with his inner world. Soon he finds himself dragged back to the world of assassinations once the person he cares about most, Father Vittorio, is abducted by a Russian mobster and hold him hostage until 47 pays a ransom of half a million dollars. Unable to collect a sum as such, 47 reluctantly offers his services to the ICA in exchange for information regarding Father Vittorio's whereabouts. However, revelations over the course of the events bring him to discover that Vittorio's kidnapping was merely to lure him out by a man from his past who has larger schemes planned ahead than it was ever believed.



    7. Alpha Protocol (2010):
    Most of you know the plot.



    8. Hitman (2016):
    Again, most of you know the plot.



    These are all my recommendations for the spy video games outside the James Bond series.

    I might be late to comment on this however this is one best spy games list I’ve seen. Wolfenstein is underrated spy game I feel like. I’d also say Splinter Cell and Perfect Dark should be added to that list but overall 100% agree with your list even tho I’m not huge Hitman fan.

    This probably won't ever happen but I'd love to see a Star Wars Battlefront-style game with 32 or 64-player maps set in the Bond universe. You start off as a regular soldier on either side and if you get enough points throughout the match you can respawn as Bond or whoever the specific villain for the map is.

    There'd be plenty of movies you could adapt for this.

    Goldfinger
    Level: Fort Knox
    Factions: US Army vs. Goldfinger's army
    Hero and villain characters: Bond vs. Goldfinger or Oddjob

    Thunderball
    Underwater level
    Marines vs. SPECTRE
    Bond vs. Largo

    You Only Live Twice
    Blofeld's volcano lair
    Ninjas vs. SPECTRE
    Bond or Tiger vs. Hans or Blofeld

    OHMSS
    Piz Gloria
    Draco's men vs. SPECTRE
    Bond vs. Blofeld

    The Spy Who Loved Me
    Liparus tanker
    British navy vs. Stromberg's army
    Bond or Anya vs. Stromberg or Jaws

    Moonraker
    Drax's satellite
    Space marines vs. Drax's army
    Bond or Jaws vs. Drax

    The Living Daylights
    Russian airbase
    Russian army vs. Mujahideen
    Bond vs. Necros

    As for Brosnan and Craig locations, you'd need to modify them since neither Bond ever led armies in pitched battles.

    Goldeneye
    Cuban satellite dish
    US Marines vs. Trevelyan's organization
    Bond vs. Trevelyan

    Tomorrow Never Dies
    Carver's stealth ship
    British Navy vs. Carver's security
    Bond or Wei Lin vs. Stamper or Carver

    Skyfall
    Silva's island
    British army vs. Silva's mercs
    Bond vs. Silva

    Spectre
    Blofeld's crater base
    Moroccan army (?) vs. SPECTRE
    Bond vs. Blofeld

    You could also adapt the oil rig from DAF and poison island from NTTD.

    Obviously this would mainly be a multiplayer game but they could easily make a barebones single player campaign with NPCs.

    Looks like 007 is (finally imo) coming to the biggest game in the world - Fortnite

    Like you said, I'm suprised that it was not already done knowing how Fortnite is a melting pot of licence franchise DLC content.

    God dam it

    So i just watch Calvin Dyson’s video my guess is 007 lego would of come in the mid 2010’s likely (and this is just a guess) to coincide with Spectre

    Again maybe i am the only person here who would like this buuuuttt if the 2010’s were like this

    2010 bloodstone and goldeneye
    2011 goldeneye
    2012 007 legends

    2015 007 lego game
    2017 007 Solstice (from telltale games)

    2019 007 Lego 2
    I would of been happy but oh well i guess the gap between 007 legends and 007 Cypher made me appreciate cypher even more.

    And i got to play the PS1 bond games which were new to me i guess

    Sigh

    Is Nightfire source playable on steam I've never heard of it 🤔 and didn't know it existed i know goldeneye source did and have played it. https://www.facebook.com/537732049598891/posts/3773291526042911/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v

    An HD remaster package of those EA games on modern consoles would sell like hot cakes I'm sure.

    Yeah definitely 🤑💰You don't have an answer im guessing?
  • I think it might be a dead project. Honestly there isn’t much of a demand for a remake/rerelease of the PC version (at least not when compared to its Console counterpart.) Come to think of it, it’s been roughly 7-8 years since the last Goldeneye Source update - I wonder if it’s still being worked on.

    Could Amazon/MGM (Pascal/Heyman) affect the development of this game (Project 007)?

    Could it be possible that Heyman and Pascal would have a say about how the game would turn out? As I've seen those Bond Games have those names of Barbara Broccoli and MGW on those, and I think they also have creative controls, now, would the same be possible for Heyman/Pascal?

    My goodness, I'm nervous.

    It is kind of unclear what the hierarchy is at the moment: as owners of Danjaq and Eon, it was pretty clear that BB & MW were basically in charge of 007 in its entirety; however now we have this new Amazon/Broccoli entity owning Bond and Pascal/Heyman might be more the sort of 'hired help' just making B26 for them. Or they might be seen more as the overseeing guardians/showrunners of Bond in totality on behalf of Amazon- we don't quite know the shape of it yet.

    I can’t see this game getting canceled but never say never. I think this new one has a lot of people excited who aren’t even necessarily Bond fans due to the involvement of IOI. The game is on track to being more than just the triumphant return of Bond in the gaming realm, but possibly the next big video game franchise. That success comes with a double edge sword however because if the new game does feature a Bond entirely separate from the next actor, Amazon runs the risk of overshadowing Bond #7. The Arkham Batman has gone on to become one of the most popular interpretations of that character and I’d say has massively overshadowed the portrayals by Christian Bale, Ben Affleck, and Robert Pattinson in terms of it’s popularity amongst fans. Could IOI’s Bond possibly overshadow Bond #7 with the fans?
