hey mate :)
This was a middle finger to the fans of Bloodstone.
The planet Earth has known this since October of 2012. No offense, but, where the hell have you been?
Don't be so harsh on him @Agent007391. He's a new member and hasn't had a chance to discuss it.
@dramaticscenesofQOS 007 legends was nothing less than heartbreaking. The idea of being able to play thru the classic Bond films in a video game was something I'd been fantasizing about since the first time I played Goldeneye 64. But man oh man did they screw it up. I never even finished the game. I stopped at MR. It was just that bad. :-(
That was the end of the game.
I didn't make it past the first MR level. To my understanding there were two. Aswell as Skyfall being downloadable content. I suppose I'll finish it one of these days but back in October of 2012 I was too disappointed.
The developers probably weren't given access to the 3rd act of the film.
Trust me, I'm not trying to make excuses for Activision and Eurocom (they made a total turd of a game), but that's probably the reason why they used those sequences.
Nothing justifies the game. Eurocom created a fantastic movie-based game in The World is Not Enough, and everything good they did in that game has effectively been erased with 007 Legends. It's the game that actually makes GoldenEye: Rogue Agent look like a worthy addition to the James Bond franchise.
Yes, I agree. Did they change the staff between the two games? Totally possible, I guess, since there's at least a ten years gap between TWINE (which I loved and was very similar to GE64) and 007 Legends.
First time I played 007 Legends was fun as hell. But playing it a second and third time to get all the remaining collectibles was such a pain!
I don't know as people really forget that. One: Those were bonus missions, not the entire game. Two: You also forgot that said TSWLM mission also includes a villain from Live and Let Die. I'm certain that a lot of people's problem with the game is how it modernizes the films. I, personally, have no problem with modernizing the films. GoldenEye 007 Reloaded did it just fine, not really losing much in the translation from 1995 to 2010 (save turning Trevelyan's ridiculous "WWII revenge for my parents" plan into a "Grrr, damn the bankers!" plan, equally ridiculous).
I personally don't get all the hate about Craig in the role.
1. First, the whole game - including 90% of the cutscenes! - is in first person, therefore, you don't even see his face.
2. Is it so hard for people to understand that paying the rights of six different faces would be too much expensive.
3. It helps the story (which one?, you may say) cohesion, that would be ridicolous to see the face changing. On the other hand, though, it'd be really cool if you could choose which actor to play as.
Me neither. After all, Casino Royale is a reboot, thus Craig's Bond never lived all these adventures. The thing that I hated though, is how the story is so rushed and confusing, it's like they just picked a piece of the movie without contextualizing it.
It's not that people hated Craig in the role, it's that people hated the casting of a single Bond in six different Bonds' movies. If it had been Brosnan, they'd still have been pissed. If it had been Connery, they'd still have been pissed.
Plus, story cohesion? 007 Legends had no story cohesion.
There are times when it works and there are times when it doesn't. The films themselves were modernizations for their times, dating back all the way to that painting that Dr. No had that had been recently stolen. There's just a certain time when modernizations are wrong, and certain types of modernizations are wrong. GoldenEye 007 Reloaded wasn't one of them, 007 Legends was.
FRWL was, however, a decent seller, thanks largely to the fact that Connery was brought back to do the role. Their problem was picking the wrong film to adapt. FRWL had a good bit of action, it was just the wrong action for a video game. To be honest, I don't really feel that FRWL was a bad game, but my one disappointment with it was that Bond and Grant's train fight scene wasn't in a train cabin. That would have been a great fight sequence for a game.
I thought Rogue Agent was fantastic and it stands as one of my all time favorite bond games. It strayed away from being an actual bond game which pissed people off but the game was awesome in its own right. It offered a lot of variety and some really cool ideas. Id be all for a remastered Rogue Agent for XB1.
No, what pissed people off was EA using the GoldenEye name to dump sh*t off of their shovel and onto us. If it had just been called something like "MI6: Rogue Agent", and claimed ties to the Bond franchise, it would have been okay. People could have even accepted the fact that he goes by "GoldenEye" as a nod to the film and the game, but the game was marketed as a return to the roots of the Bond first-person shooter by claiming connection to GoldenEye on the N64, and it had nothing to do with it. I like to play the game, I like all the connections. Its story plays out like the sh*ttiest fanfic ever written (Dr. No and Goldfinger facing off against one another? When they both died in the 60s!), but I can semi-excuse that because one of my absolute favorite Bond games, James Bond 007 on the GameBoy, could also be considered a bad fanfic, as well.
Remastered on the Xbox One... no. We don't need that in any way.

Come on the weapon selection alone was EPIC!
That is all.
