The Goldeneye remake (including reloaded) was a solid game. The only problem with it was a laggy multiplayer. I even enjoyed Bloodstone and QOS.
Quality has more to do with the developer than the publisher. Eurocom (which made games for EA and Activision) produced the best Bond games imho including Nightfire (console), TWINE, and the Goldeneye remake. If Legends is as bad as they say, it would be Eurocom's first failure.
Also, EA is an even greedier company than Activision, and not the innovative, quality-focused company they were in the 90's and early 00's. They would probably make half the game paid DLC (such as the Skyfall DLC) and charge for online multiplayer.
Next-gen consoles were also brought up many times by investors, and Kotick noted “we can't really talk too much about next generation console plans, but I think it's safe to say you have a Wii U coming out and there will be another new console coming and we expect that they'll be very successful.” He added that “we always evaluate all platforms with an eye towards being able to create the most compelling differentiated content. And whether it's Facebook as a platform or tablets or mobile devices platforms, once we think that we can put our best creative foot forward and we can deliver something that's compelling and engaging and meaningfully different and really capitalize on the capabilities of a new platform, we'll support it.”
Do you think that activisons plans to pander to the WiiU force more of these inferior bond games on us such as Goldeneye reloaded, a graphical enhancement of the engine used on Deadspace Extraction.
I'm sorry. You must have been so disappointed when you played it.
And, to add insult to injury, they probably paid full price for it as well.
I say give it back to EA, and get Bioware to do it. A Bond game in the gameplay style of the Mass Effect series would be great, plus Bioware know how to do narratively driven stories.
EA wont take it because they don't want movie products. And again, anybody saying how a top studio should have it, will be let down. I keep hearing how Rockstar and Naughty Dog should have it. That would mean Take Two and Sony and I can tell you they wouldn't give Bond to their prized studios. We can hope for realistic choices like Ubisoft giving it to Ubisoft Montreal
Ubisoft published, developed by Gearbox Software. That would be amazing.
BTW I'm currently playing Borderlands 2 which itself is amazing.
The graphics are great, the missions always full of originality and in need of silent, stealth action, they already work with disguises etc and they sure know how to make a shooter.
Eidos for Bond '14.
NO. Activision are worse, they treat 007 like a budget licensed brand, along with Cabela's Hunting and Total Wipeout. EA may use online passes and day 1 DLC, but the majority of their product is of a high quality. Battlefield, Mass Effect, Skate, Criterion's Need for Speed games, Burnout, Dead Space, FIFA, Crysis. Their only consistent dud in recent years has been the Medal of Honor reboot.
Yes, definitely. Activision ruined the franchise.
aw now they banged Qos out and got bloodstone out and it was a promising start then they stagnated the whole thing with goldeneye and thinking it was the gameplay and engine that got the high review scores. amazingly the same game released this year earns under 5s where goldeneye reloaded earned 8.5s.
so i think games journalists were as much to blame for the whole problem.
elaborate. what's the developer you wish to see take it on?
A lot of people are bringing Eidos up, and they would probably be a good choice (realistically speaking of course, compared to saying Naughty Dog or Rockstar for the 007 licence!)
The TV based Walking Dead game is coming out soon, and guess what? It's a FPS! That simple abbreviation combined with Activision will tell you immediately how good the game will be, and it's a shame really - I love the show... but Activision's handling of my beloved film franchise has taught us all many lessons...
other way around
Realistic good options
Ubisoft-Ubisoft Montreal (Tom Clancy games/Many others)
Take Two/2K games- Irrational (Bioshock) 2K Marin (Bioshock 2)
Edios- Any studio (they're all good)
THQ- Volation (Saints Row, Red Faction)
I would be happy with any one of these realistic choices
give it to
Io Software -hitman and kane and lynch
Edios Montreal - deus ex human rev
EA
the back catologue of games of hd would mean we would never not have another game coming out alongside new entry
Visceral - the guys behind dead space and dantes inferno
whatever infinity wards new name is....
I think rockstar are out of the question they are more into creating their own ip so they have complete control.
Valve are out there with there own ips as well
i would also be interested if Starbreeze studios who did chronicles of riddick got a shot with the ip of bond
Infinity Ward is still around, but the majority of their employees have moved over to a new company called Respawn Entertainment. Also, if you want a former COD developer to take over a Bond game, guess what you get? COD Bond games.
The only saving grace for Goldeneye Reloaded imho was that David Arnold was involved on the soundtrack and that made a big change in giving it more authentic.
I reckon if they made Bond games more like Splinter Cell : Conviction, then took Splinter Cell back to it's Chaos Theory style that would be a preferable trade off. You never really feel like Bond lately with the gadgets or the stealth like GE on the N64 because now they lazily made his only gadget a smartphone.
If a quality developer like Rockstar took Bond and made a game with it using the Max Payne / GTA V enhanced RAGE engine I think it would be something special. Or maybe give it to a Japanese developer so that they really integrate the story into the experience.
My issue with the games it that's they're far too cheesy and the villains feel like Austin Powers. If they wrote a non-generic story line with some complexity and excellent cut scenes and made a standalone AAA Bond adventure without trying to cash in or tie-in to a movie, I'd be up for that. Get David Arnold to do the soundtrack or a suitably respectful composer, a decent title theme and Daniel Kleinman to do the titles instead of those terrible generic dancing silhouette women intros they usually do...
