GoldenEye Hackers Find Hidden FPS Level

Thanks to Spong for its news story revealing cart hackers have found a secret test level in classic N64 first-person shooter GoldenEye, more than 6 years after the seminal FPS was released. The developers, Rare, had previously claimed that the secret level, Citadel, "...was a very rough test level designed during the early stages of multiplayer mode. It's not in the finished game in any shape or form." However, although "rough and loosely textured", the Detstar GoldenEye Project has found the level hidden in the production version of the game, and notes that "it's possible to visit this rumored arena with Gameshark codes."

Looks like Perfect Dark

Judging by the screenshots, it looks like a primitive version of some of the multiplayer levels in the sorta sequel Perfect Dark.

What a PR person is aware of and what is fact can be two very different things. You're assuming that:
a) They actually asked the developers (rather than just giving an answer and
b) They asked the *right* developer(s)
c) The developers answered them honestly.
