Besides, Agent Under Fire wasn't the first Bond story to use clones. In Raymond Benson's continuation novel, DoubleShot, Bond fought his evil clone at a bullring.
I'm also all-for sci-fi to be available in Bond. Just not as futuristic as Star Trek that was seen in EON. I'm perfectly okay with the DAD sci-fi. But, it was slowly stepping towards the limit. For me, that is.
REALLY? Dammit Benson. :))
Good one!
@ClarkDevlin Here! Here! I would never describe fumbling around with the limited field of view that comes from ADS, or 5 seconds of sprint time, to be solid gameplay. I also wouldn't describe them as realistic, despite the fact that this is the common defense for them. Soldiers are often trained to fire a gun with both eyes open, allowing for a larger FOV than ADS on a screen provides, and ANYONE can run for longer than COD style games let you. Limited weapon carry was also debunked by the Mythbusters, as long as the person is physically fit (AKA, a typical video game hero. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MythBusters_(2015_season)#Episode_226_.E2.80.93_.22Video_Game_Special.22).
And even if it were realistic, is that what we want from games? Realism at the expense of fun? Isn't it often the point of games to allow you to do what you couldn't do in real life?
I wish there was even one game developer that would make a FPS that discarded these things. Yooka-Laylee is a revival of classic 3D platformers, we need a similar revival of classic FPS.
That chin is unmistakably Dalton's. It looks like a little bit of Connery in the overall face.
@Murdock, this is what I was referring to, earlier.
Personally, I'm done with tie-in games, so when it comes to Bond it's either an original story or nothing at all. Otherwise it's not worth the effort.
@0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 I mean uncertain in that they have no distributor, we have no idea when B25 will be released, and it seems as though Bond films may be headed for a far too infrequent release schedule.
I am also done with tie-in games, they should have their own story. But even a game with an original story would likely release sometime close to the release of the latest Bond film, being a tie-in in that sense.
It would be nice, but I think they're afraid of being sued for copyright infringement.
I believe he is referring to the original devs of Goldeneye, who started Dambuster Studios and gave us the lousy Homefront: The Revolution; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homefront:_The_Revolution
I don't think that would be a problem since it's a free to download mod that's different enough from the original game. And Ah I see now, Shame they aren't doing so hot nowadays.
@Murdock I think the copyright lawsuit would more likely come from EON than Rare. Goldeneye: Source might be different enough from the original to not create an issue with Rare, but a single player mode would be an adaptation of the story from an EON film without their permission. That could pose an issue.
Me too. If only they would prove their mettle and give us something great again.
I still don't get why this is complex for both developers and fans I've said this multiple times if a Devloper (say Ubisoft) Wants to get out of the Rare Goldeneye Shadow it's simple Build a series of games based on the Post Fleming Novels the Novels EON will never adapt and never touch...
Start with Colonel Sun and Adapt it to Video game using the same rules as the film verse (So modern day and with excellent story telling) and there you go Who wouldn't want a stealth level based on M's kidnapping in Colonel Sun sneaking around his place as Fassbender's Bond or having a racing level from Trigger Mortis where you have to destroy the villains race car.. I can't be the only one who has read these books and wish I could play video games based on them.
