NO YOU STUPID MOFO... IT'S ALL BOLLOCKS I TELL YOU BOLLOCKS

*Ric ends flaming* lol

Well you can believe that if you want however I read a press release in the latest issue of NGC Magazine here in the UK which said this:

Rumours reached fever pitch this month regarding the alleged acquisition of GoldenEye developers Rareware by Activision.The news was so wide spread and reportedly concrete that Tim (the magazine editor) ended up being interviewed by several trade newspapers on the matter.

But just as we suspected , the news was misleading tosh - we contacted Rare to get an official comment and they told us in no uncertain tearms that the deal with activision or any other rumours about them going third party was a load of old "cobblers".

This is pretty concrete confirmation since a former employee of the magazine now works for Rareware. The magazine got exclusive looks at Perfect Dark and the face mapping utility during development of the game.

I have also read this report elsewhere from different people who recieved the same response. I am sure C.H can confirm this for me aswell.
