Although recent events have offered a glimmer of hope that GoldenEye 007 could appear again, the game seems difficult to revive. What's more, the usage of the James Bond IP means another edition of GoldenEye would require Rare to strike licensing deals with both the owners of James Bond and the producers of Bond movies. Rare was a close ally of Nintendo at the time of GoldenEye's release, but it is now a Microsoft subsidiary. Unfortunately, bringing GoldenEye 007 back to modern consoles is difficult for multiple reasons. There's a huge market for a re-release or remaster of the game. Lots of other developers gave the genre a chance after GoldenEye 007, and considering this hugely important legacy it's no surprise that GoldenEye 007 has lots of fans to this day. Rare's James Bond adaptation provided evidence that FPS games could thrive on consoles.
The FPS genre existed well before Rare and Nintendo released GoldenEye 007, but the genre's founding members like Doom were often confined to PCs. Long before the first-person shooter genre saw games like Halo, Call of Duty, and Counter-Strike, there was GoldenEye 007.
