No, thank you. Pass.
Some thinfs just don't work in movies.
Yeah. Same with EON. Great game but a direct sequel to A View To A Kill with multiple invisible cars, a base with a weird sci fi force field, the girl from American Pie, a villain who's plan is to literally take over the world, an invisibility suit, Bond in a porsche and all that other stuff as a film? It wouldn't have been the course correction after DAD that some seem to think, it would been panned and turned even more people against the Brosnan era.
Nightfire though with just a couple of tweaks could have made a brilliant film.
Well... a near perfection.
However, the clone thing isn't far fetched as some think it is here. Raymond Benson's novel, DoubleShot even featured a clone of Bond with whom the real Bond clashed in the middle of a bull fighting ring. This sort of thing actually exists, it's not only a world of USB flash drives and hard drives that threaten global security, mind? There are a lot of other means what others don't believe and class as sci-fi.
I agree about the invisible cars, however. While it very well exists (Top Gear even publicly showed it with a truck), I just don't see how it'd be useful and coherent with the plot.
Though I agree with everything I've read, AUF and EON are great games but they wouldn't make such great films. NF however could work, still my favourite Bond game ever.
The prelude in Paris, the Austrian castle, the Japanese villa, spying in Tokyo, my goodness that sounds great. Though I'd put in a casino and a hotel scene and some more less 'noisy' moments.
Look at it like FRWL if you will, but the other way around. Great film but with the necessary adaptions for a great game.
Nightfire, however, was perfection in every way. Definitely the best James Bond video game ever.
Depends on the game. Look here for the list of the game you want to play https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_games_compatible_with_Xbox_360.
Some are. 51% was the exact figure I'd heard, and I've played Halo 2 on it. Apparently if I download an emulator update it will run, but too fast to be playable, at least that's what I'm hearing (on my current software version it doesn't run at all). I wonder if there are any fixes.
I have the gamecube emulator version of Agent Under Fire works fine for me.
Yeah, I've seen that list, and it mentions the speed issue. That list isn't quite complete though, as I understand any non-driving levels in NF will run, and the list fails to mention that (I've also heard that EON will run).
Well I try Nightfire on the Xbox 360 and yes driving levels don't work have to use cheat codes get past them. EON never worked for me on my Xbox 360 sadly however, Goldeneye Rouge Agent did.
I wonder how do they look graphics-wise? Are they enhanced?
Yeah, but I've just always avoided emulators due to the legal gray area they exist in (when I said emulator in my other post I was referring to the official original Xbox emulator in the 360.)
I already have the PS2 version actually. I was just hoping to get to play it upscaled to HD. I suppose I'll give the copy to a friend that has an old Xbox.
I didn't know you could play directly from the disc on an emulator. My issue has always been obtaining legal roms, so I'd like that.
Good point. I'll have to look into it and see if my weak old pc will cope.
@Murdock @BMW_with_missiles @mattjoes... in case you're interested. ;)
What I've always asked myself over the years was that... why did they feel the need to switch from Walther P99 to a Smith & Wesson SW99 for Bond's sidearm? AUF beta screenshots showed the 'Wolfram P2K' handgun being that of the P99 used in the TWINE PC version.
