Meeles pidama tühistatud GoldenEye 007 XBLA remaster, mis lekkis veebis veebruaris? Nüüd on sellel dr Doak.
Rare'i murrangulise N360 tulistamismängu Xbox 64 remasteris asendati fännide lemmik NPC Dr. Doak tekstiga "Dr. Rakhmanov”.
But they erased you from GE on X360… ? And changed your name to “Dr. Rakhmanov”… ?? pic.twitter.com/yATE0Q73Hd

Dr Doak põhines David Doakil, kes on üks GoldenEye 007 arendajaid Rare'is ja tegelik tõsielu arst. Enne Rare'is töötamist tegeles Doak teadusuuringutega, kasutades valgu struktuuri määramiseks tolleaegseid tipptasemel graafikatööjaamu. (Nende Silicon Graphics masinate kallal töötamine aitas Doakil Rare'is sisse pääseda.)
The Dr. Doak character is a double-agent who pops up in the Facility level. He’s Bond’s contact, and gives 007 a decoder that lets him access the bottling area. Bond tells Dr. Doak to escape before he meets up with antagonist Trevelyan. Doak does exactly that, running away before you blow up all the tanks. But! You can instead choose to murder the defenseless Dr. Doak, which does not affect the mission status. Hands up if you shot Dr. Doak in the face?
In 1998, Doak, alongside some other Rare developers who worked on GoldenEye and then Perfect Dark, left the company to co-found TimeSplitters studio Free Radical Design. (For more on what went down there, check out our Oral history of Perfect Dark feature.)
Doak wasn’t around when the cancelled GoldenEye 007 XBLA remaster was in development in 2007 and 2008. So, Rare replaced Dr. Doak with Dr. Rakhmanov, an NPC based on former Rare artist Sergey Rakhmanov.
Now, modders have put Dr. Doak back into the cancelled GoldenEye 007 XBLA remaster, much to the delight of David Doak himself. Doak tweeted to say “this is really special and means a lot”.
I’m in the Naughty GoldenEye XBLA remaster! ?

This is the work of tinkerers @kholdfuzion, @PalfreyLewis, Flargee and Carnivorous, according to GoldenEye content creator Graslu00. Graslu00’s video, below, shows Dr. Doak modded into the remaster.
Will Microsoft ever task Rare with getting its GoldenEye remaster off the ground? It seems unlikely. “GoldenEye rights are so challenging, looked at this many times,” Xbox boss Phil Spencer tweeted in 2015. “Lot’s of different parties to work with, we’ve always given up.”
