Are you sure about this part? Are you certain that Rare (and thus Microsoft) don't own some part of
Goldeneye? My understanding is that the situation is complex because Activision hold the Bond licence, and the
Goldeneye game rights are held up between Nintendo and Rare/Microsoft.
That said,
TimeSplitters has a near-identical engine to
Goldeneye, and there were no legal issues surrounding that, so perhaps there could be a VC release that strips out the Bond references?
