Eurocom shuts down

 
British developer Eurocom has closed its doors after being in the video game industry for close-to 25 years.

Over its lifetime Eurocom was known as the primary developer of the James Bond video games.

In a statement issued to website Eurogamer, the developer said it was unable to secure a new contract or pay outstanding wages. 

“The Administrator and the company's directors have been negotiating with customers surrounding new contracts to develop console games, however these contracts could not be secured in time and due to insufficient funds to pay outstanding wages, Eurocom today entered Administration.”

The Directors of Eurocom also released a message thanking staff for their hard work over the years.

"The Directors of Eurocom would like to offer their heartfelt thanks to all their staff that have been made redundant at this difficult time, and show their appreciation of all of their hard work in consistently delivering exceptional games."

Eurocom was founded in 1988 to develop games for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and was responsible for seven James Bond video games over its lifetime.

James Bond Jr. (NES & SNES, 1991), The World Is Not Enough (N64, 2004), James Bond 007: Nightfire (GCN, PS2, XBOX, 2002), Quantum of Solace (PS2, 2008), GoldenEye 007 (Wii, 2010), GoldenEye 007: Reloaded (XBOX 360, PS3, 2011) and 007 Legends (XBOX 360, PS3, PC, Wii U 2012).  

Their most recent release 007 Legends was poorly received by critics and failed to gain sales momentum.

007 Gamer wishes all the people at Eurocom the very best.

GoldenEye Reloaded uncovered

Activision has registered several domain names revolving around something known as ‘GoldenEye Reloaded’.

A Twitter user by the name of Superannuation uncovered four URL registrations logged by Activision last week and then posted the links on his account.

Many people believe GoldenEye Reloaded could be a HD re-release of GoldenEye 007 (Wii) and others are guessing a new 007 game or remake of the original GoldenEye 007 on the Nintendo 64 could be coming to the 3DS.

During an investor call earlier on in the year, Activision announced they would be releasing a new Bond game at some point throughout 2011.

This was followed by the 007 logo being shown during Sony’s E3 slideshow presentation along with more rumours of Raven Software being the developer of the new Bond title.
