The gaming industry is not foreign to lost and canceled projects. However, most projects are canceled often either because of a lack of time, funding and/or fan interest. This is why it's particularly interesting the Goldeneye 007 Remake was canceled.
For those that don't know, Goldeneye 007 was a first-person shooter developed by Rare and published by Nintendo for the N64 way back in 1997.
The game was based on the 1995 James Bond film of the same name, GoldenEye, and featured the dashing debonair of a British Secret Intelligence Service agent going up against a criminal syndicate who planned on using a satellite weapon to cripple the global financial network.
So, you know, typical James Bond stuff.
Well, while the single-player campaign was surprisingly good, what made GoldenEye 007 stand-out was its split-screen multiplayer mode that let as many as four players take each other out in various game modes.

Apparently, this very popular and iconic title was greenlit for an official remake with Rare, Microsoft, and 4J Studios all working together to release it for the Microsoft Xbox 360 back in 2007.
What happened? We don't know. However, as per the latest leak of yet, it seems that the game was actually completed before being shelved for some unknown reason.
