Sorry that I'm repeating myself... But I felt immensily cheated by GE2010... And I really found it to be a huge insult to the Bond legacy.
In your, likely, lone opinion. I think that view's a bit extreme. I can't see any seeing it as an "insult". Updated is the word Activision would use. It was just an update of a game put out because the orginal was too tied up with it's rights issues more than likely. I doubt it'll become a trend and was done as more of a nostalgia trip for the fans.
Anyway, if you found it "entertaining" how can you also say "the Bond legacy and franchise were simply destroyed when playing it"? The entire franchise by one game, come on! See my above point. It's a one-off I'd say. Don't fret. You may have enough to worry about with Bond 23.
This may be an excited reaction, but I simply cannot accept EON making such decisions to REPLACE a previous Bond with the current actor. Sorry, just because they haven't done film remake, but just a video game remake, doesn't make it the more acceptable.
Ok, so i'll say right now that I would hate it if Craig starred in a game adaption/remake of TLD or LTK, but that wouldn't make me feel any different towards the films. But I would want to throw a custard pie at everyone involved in the Craigised TLD/LTK.
Maybe it's because the remakes are games and not actual films... But still, it's just wrong.
The problem Dalton is not legacy but focus video games and films are different. Remaking films as video games with new actors is fine (though Daniel Craig vs Christopher Lee I'd buy the game tomorrow if I could) because Video games shouldn't follow the same "rules" as the films and the annoying thing is Activision is only starting to realize that I'm hoping for exciting rule breaking with more games in the future.
But if Titles really upset you Dalton i'd be ok with them just cherry picking elements and putting them in a new game with a new title.
In case anyone was wondering the games I think could work as remakes with Daniel Craig though there would have to be a lot of updating and changing but it would still be fun....
On Her Majesties Secret Service
Diamonds Are Forever
live and Let Die
the Man with the Golden Gun
For Your Eyes Only
The Living Daylights
Licence to Kill
The World is not enough (using elements of the film and James Bond's goldeneye sequel script would be kinda cool)
those i think are the easiest but i'd welcome seeing someone else ideas If anyone is curious I have idea how to update the stories and have them be Daniel Craig's bond orientated while being respectful to the originals but considering my ideas are probably "ruining the franchise" I'll wait till someone asks.
And I'm sorry Risico007, but it sounds you are more a Craig fan than a James Bond fan, if you want him to replace every previous Bond actor in their movies.
Oh wait it was Called Nightfire never mind.
And no one seemed to care when EA remade Moonraker with Pierce Brosnan....
Oh wait it was Called Nightfire never mind.
Yeah, Nightfire was a re-make of Moonraker......but was INSANELY EPIC!!!!!!! It's how Moonraker should have been. Nightfire made into a movie is exactly what I want to see!
I've never played this game but will in November. I'd be more upset with any changes made to the story than Daniel Craig's involvement, if there are majors changes I too would be pretty annoyed with it and would hope no further games of past films were produced because the same would probably happen again.
How this means the rest never existed I've no idea.
In ten years you can complain about Bond #7, it's the way it is. You can hardly blame EON for wanting to capitalise on their merchandise.
As far as I'm concerned, if the story's the same I'm OK with that. That's the main thing though it's a videogame so there are bound to be changes somewhere.
