    Here we go, I was able to Change his suit and darken his hair with no problems, but I couldn't make his shirt white without it looking bad. It's easy to colorize light colored clothing but trying to turn dark clothes in this case a black shirt white doesn't work, but he does look very similar to how he looked in Cuba during DAD. :)

    Having replayed it recently, what do people think of Goldeneye 007/Goldeneye 007: Reloaded?

    I thought it was just okay. I hated the little pointer on the bottom that told you which direction to go and I didn't like that you couldn't explore every nook and cranny of the maps like in the original. I just wish we could have gotten an HD remaster of the N64 game.

    I thought it was decent, but I wasn't happy that it was a Call of Duty clone. I also hate when any game has "quick time events," although Goldeneye 007/Reloaded does quick time events better than any other game I've played. They serve their purpose (make a point in the game-play more cinematic) and they are forgiving of taking a second to find the button. I have found that it doesn't have all that much replay value (except for the multiplayer, of course). It's replay value pales in comparison to the original. I can still play that for hours.

    Goldeneye Reloaded wasn't bad, but wasn't great... i agree with @Murdock that the little pointer guide thing - and the checkpoint markers were constantly on - it made exploration of a level pointless, as it mapped out a perfect straight line for where you had to go to next..

    but there were aspects of the game i liked.. i liked the remake of the Goldeneye theme itself - it doesn't beat the Tina Turner original, but on it's own it's a good version... the score done by David Arnold (and i cant remember the other guy's name - Kevin something) i thought was really good.... one other part of the game that stood out to me was the nightclub part - before you meet Valentine - something about that brief part of the game i always liked and it always felt very Bondian to me..

    David Arnold only wrote the new rendition of the Tina Turner song. The game's soundtrack is fully written and composed by Kevin Kiner.

    Couldn't help myself, wouldn't this be a nice game?

    I'm not a fan of the Ubisoft logo, but the game wouldn't be bad.

    Alright guys here it is! My wallpaper for Agent Under Fire the Movie.
    007_agent_under_fire_movie_wallpaper_by_comandercool22-d9z9l8u.jpg

    Starring
    Pierce Brosnan as James Bond
    Katee Sackhoff as Zoe Nightshade
    Jean Reno as Nigel Bloch
    Elizabeth Hurley as Adrian Malprave
    Gillian Anderson as Carla the Jackal
    John Cleese as R.
    and Judi Dench as M.

    That's really good. That's a good cast too. I wouldn't have thought of Katee Sackhoff for Zoe Nightshade, so props to whomever suggested her.

    I liked Goldeneye with Craig I still don't get the hate. The game is great Craig is fantastic in it and I love it much better the legends (though had Activision just focused on one film to update like Goldfinger and of course get Craig to voice activision would still be owning the licence and instead of this nothing bond related between films except for now a comic book and that is it)

    Like I said I am replacing Legends now and the level designs are really lovely it's just the actor playing bond is annoying and the story makes no sense.

    I would be fine with Goldeneye Rogue Agent hd remake for ps4/Xbox 1 at this rate lmao the lack of new modern bond stories is kind of depressing.

    Just imagine all the great missions... rock climbing, ski chase, car chase, warehouse shoot out and of course flying 'Remote Control Airways'. All this in a semi-open world where you can go around as Bond in parts of Greece, London and Italy. :D

    I think a car chase level nonexistent in the film would be literally great. Bond drives the Lotus, Luigi fires the shots out of his window at the assailants.

    Absolutely... but...

    Wouldn't you rather drive the Citroën? It drives lovely in the country.
  • why is there not more Bond games based on the films?

  • Posts: 9,846
    Because everyone is to busy laying flowers at collegues wives graves and pretending to be them... (Sorry couldn't help myself) seriously though

    Actually nearly all the films are represented in one way shape or form even if we only focus in on Goldeneye N64- 007 legends

    Dr. No locations and characters were used in Goldenye Rogue Agent
    From Russia With Love: was made into a game by EA
    Goldfinger: characters setting and some of the plot was used in Rogue Agent and Legends
    Thunderball: elements of the plot was used in the final level of From Russia with love the game
    You Only Live twice: elements were used in Rogue Agents
    On her Majesties secret service: elements were used in 007 legends
    Diamonds are forever: one could argue the casino level in Rogue Agent is meant as a nod to the film but it could also be argued not
    Live and Let Die: Baron Samedi is in Goldeneye N64 but sadly that is about it
    The Man with the golden gun: scarmanga@s fun house was used as a multiplayer map a few times the golden gun also has shown up as an unlock able weapon and scaramanga himself is in rogue agent and as a multiplayer character In numerous games
    The spy who loved me: apart from jaws and a few multiplayer maps that is about it
    Moonraker: elements was used in Nightfire and Legends
    For your eyes only: sadly nothing I can remeber
    Octopussy: an Atari game was made for this I believe but nothing modern I can remember
    A view to a kill: Zorin and May Day have both shown up in multiplayer also the climax of the film was a multiplayer map in rogue agent
    The living daylights: was a video game for the Atari but nothing modern
    Licence to kill: elements were used in Legends
    Goldenye: was adapted twice into a game
    Tomorrow never dies: was adapted into a game and carver printing press was used as a multiplayer map
    The world is not enough: made into a game
    Die another day: elements were used in Legends
    Casino Royale: nearly made into a game from EA how er most of the film was used in activision's quantum of solace game
    Quantum of solace: was made into a game also elements I feel were used in bloodstone
    Skyfall was made into dlc for Legends
    Spectre: no game was made of it but Blofeld has shown up in previous games most notably Legends and rogue agent

    So there you have it while not a 1-1 ratio a good portion of the films have been adapted in some way shape or form.

    Oh definitely! I'd have that, too! Melina will shoot the bolts! ;)
  • @Risico007 take your point but does that really satisfy you? Legends was pretty dire.

    GoldenEye 007: Reloaded is pretty much the same, if not worse than 007 Legends. ;)

    Reloaded has a more consistent story, but it's also only based on one film as opposed to six.

    I played the intro level to some Goldeneye game a couple of years back on the 360, and it was total dog shit. I think I beat the first level and gave the online a shot and that was it for me. Then '007 Legends' came along and that somehow looked even worse.

    Take it like this. 007 Legends was an expansion pack for GoldenEye 007: Reloaded by the looks of it. Given the choice they had, I know Activision would've done such thing, perhaps releasing DLCs that would help you unlock the gadgets in the GoldenEye missions, too, such as the laser watch, dart pen, etc. ;)

    Maybe. I was happy with Reloaded, though. I knew it wasn't going to be the mega-hit the original GoldenEye ended up being because it was trying to be a mega-hit, while the original GoldenEye was a total surprise hit. It wasn't a great game, and it wasn't a bad game. It was average, and that was all I was expected.

    Sad thing, though, is that I wrote a "remake" fanfic novelization of GoldenEye tailored to the Craig Bond that ended up a bit more faithful.

    I wanted to like it. I wanted to. But, I couldn't. The Call Of Duty gameplay just puts me off. But, I have to admit, I loved the Severnaya Infiltration level a lot.

    Have you uploaded it anywhere? I'd like to give it a read, if you don't mind, of course.

    I rather like the St. Petersburg levels as well.

    Too action-packed if you ask me. Normally, I love action packed elements, but for that purpose of the story, when Bond is to meet a mysterious figure out of haunted passage, it had too much action. The place, for a memorial square, was crawling in goons as if it was a military compound.

    EDIT: Sorry, I was distracted and misread your comment. I thought you only referred to the Statue Park, at first. Then yes, the St. Petersburg levels in the military compound was averagely good. Not very good. Just that. The tank level was alright, as well.

    The statue park levels were definitely too action packed.

    If it was up to me, I would've have given the Statue Park a haunting and close-to-horror atmosphere. That's how it was portrayed in the film.
