What do you mean? I don't remember hearing GE64 music references in GE Wii.
Ah, I never noticed. I'll check it out. On the subject, I'm hoping for re-orchestrations of some classics. Ala City of Prague Orchestra.
and I like How they made a combo Blofeld that looks like Terry O Quinn. xD
And by the way, some of us hardcore Bond fans like myself also enjoy the casual shooter. Contrary to opinion of many others, CoD gameplay is not all crap. Would I rather have another game like EON or Blood Stone? Yes of course. But I hopefully will enjoy this game
I think it's also a way of paying respect since three actors played Blofeld, it would be kind of unfair to feature 1 in each mission. Depending how many times he's used in the game's story.
And here's some Fanart!!!
I had fun making it.
Made using artwork from 007 Legends, Bloodstone, GE Reloaded and Nightfire.
and these devs claim to be fans...
Heres just a quick list of what we have confirmed so far:
Corgi – same old trick they’ve been doing for years; release the DB5 again in a different box. In fact it strikes me that someone at EON could well be on a backhander from Corgi to pointlessly shoehorn the DB5 into as many scripts as they can – GE, TND, CR and now SF – just so they can reissue it again.
Blurays – Just knock out the exact same versions we’ve already got along with a worse version of CR than is already available and still no proper QOS release. But wait – they are giving us a bonus disc with a whole 2 new documentaries. 2! Count them. I’m overcome with the effort they are putting in.
Scalextric – Same old DB5 in an SF box but with a Range Rover to chase it. I haven’t checked but I would be less than flabbergasted if it’s the same track layout as the QOS version of a few years ago.
Carta Mundi – A reissue of the CR poker set with 50th paint job. Why? Bond only plays poker in one film. What the f**k has a poker set got to do with 50 years of Bond?
And so we come to this god forsaken game. It would be nice to think that Activision would have thought ‘Bond 50 is coming up and we have the licence – lets do something amazing and blow people away and we could get sales like GE64’. Development should have started on this game about 2 years ago and then we might be getting excited. Instead it seems this was started in the middle of May and it shows. Basically just copy and paste GE Reloaded and give it a lick of paint, release it a week before COD and we’ll have another hit on our hands.
Except of course GE Reloaded was a massive flop due to the brilliant decision to release it on the worst date of the year for a FPS, right between COD and Battlefield 3. Have these retards learnt nothing? I can understand and to a degree forgive a company wanting to make a cheap cash in if they’ve paid for the licence; its their prerogative after all. The thing about these cretins though is that for a cash in to work it needs to make some cash FFS!!!
So what we have here is a lose-lose for everyone. A shit game for fans like us, a shit game that casual gamers aren’t going to look at with Black Ops out the week after and a shit game that shifts no units for Activision. What sort of corporate strategy is that? I’d trust a Greek with my money before Activision.
Just imagine what we could have had with some proper effort and imagination?
And no matter how much Activision believes the way to make money is just to copy COD, the truth is the best way is to make a good game. GE64 was in development hell for years and missed its release date so many times because the people working on it were passionate about making a good game. Everyone thought it would be a disaster but what was the result of all this passion and patience? One of the best games ever and box office gold.
As it is I ‘ve seen more than enough from the screenshots and cunning release strategy to already know that this will be a sales disaster. The 50th publicity might do enough to allow it to break even but not much more – which is a disgrace because Bond done properly should be raking in millions.
I was thinking I would have to set aside about £500 for all the 50th stuff that would be coming out but so far I’m buying none of this crap. EON so short sighted – just think of the cash you could have rinsed out of me and hundreds like me instead of just getting peoples backs up.
DaltonCraig007 I’m not even going to start on OHMSS. It looks to me just like someone has just dug out some old beta code for a game based on Inception that was never made and given it a cursory polish. I know you have to change things from the film to make a good game but these people really haven’t the faintest clue. GE64 kept the original set designs and atmosphere of the flim and just tweaked them to make a good game. Its monumental arrogance by these imbeciles to think they can outdo Ken Adam. I presume GF will be the next one to be revealed as they probably want Oddjob and Goldfinger in there. Although that would mean two separate character models. They could do DN and just get away with the one so that’s probably more likely.
My point was this game is solely made for the non-Bond fans gamers who want COD style FPS. Activision insults the original films too much for there to be even the slightest reconnaissance towards the Bond fans. So the game is a failure in all departments - nothing like the original films, and will flop because it is released 2.5 weeks before the real COD, Black Ops 2, thus no-one but the rare Bond fans will buy the game.
Yes the game looks fun... but that was not the point. Activision hyped the game as a homage to classic Bond movies and a homage to Bond's 50th anniversary. Fact is, this game became a huge insult and slap in the face towards these classic outings. I am not buying a game that markets itself as a homage to Bond, while in reality it's just a massive joke.
It doesn't have a good chance of selling though, because if people want COD style gameplay, they'd buy f*cking COD, which is coming out not long after this, giving it even more of a chance of flopping.
The best chance of selling well would be to do something inventive and creative, maybe an open world Bond game? But instead they seem to think "people like COD right? Let's make it! Oh, but stick in the James Bond character and since it's the anniversary, shove in a few old films"
If I wanted to play CoD, I would buy CoD. Simple.
Deleting the personal information, of course.
I don't think it's a scam but you never know what some people come up with.

I suppose you'd need to know when the winner of this 'Get in the Game' contest was due to be announced.
Thanks for the image, I'm sure someone now will be able to help.
Mr. Bond,
I received the exact same email today, even though I never entered said contest. I contacted the 007 Legends Facebook page and they are looking into it.
Oh. I did just send back to them.
Wow, are you sure?!
i like the sound of the complete game collection for free.
As long as the official Facebook page isn't in on some sort of scam, it would appear so,
aw who really cares i think this consoles life of bond games almost up, dan craig has about one more film in him after this then i guess its time to get used to a new guy.
@Creazy47, I love COD but hate the community. Thus I prefer the COD style game play that Reloaded offered but without all the try hard camping scrubs and Dbags that COD has to offer. Goldeneye was more arcade fast pace and overall more fun because everyone runs around for the most part....like the old days. Plus COD offers that kill streak perk crap that I am not into at all. If I wanted to play a game where I was getting hit with airstrikes and shot up by choppers I would play COD but I don't so I play Goldeneye. I buy a FPS to shot people.
Strange that three from this site have won though. That being said, I don't know how many winners there are or how many entered.
