GoldenEye: Rogue Agent - New Trailer and Screens

[joule]

:sniper:​

 

[blahblahblah]

Hmmm...the screens and trailer look visually disappointing. I know its an X-Box, but it should look better than that. The gameplay looks rather pathetic too.

The trailer is trying to tell me "Look double weapons, so this game must be cool", even though the game looks bland. Looks like EA is on their way to messing up on of the best names in the gaming industry.

 

[KagePrototype]

Yeah, it all looks flat and uninspired to me. Bond games haven't really interested me since GoldenEye, I don't see this game breaking that trend.

I agree. But remember, it's not finished. Therefore, there is room for improvements. And the dual weapons thing, that's all on taste. So, you'll either like it or you won't.

I like to keep people informed when new stuff like this is released. Especially a game like this; whether it's looking good or not.

I don't know. When they call their ragdoll physics "Stunt Action Physics", you know they are lacking on innovation.

You can normally pick out games that have potential by trailers. The fact that it looks so uninspired from hand picked scences is rather worrysome.

Maybe I'm spoiled because I'm a computer gamer and stuff like ragdoll physics is de facto standard now.

Rule of thumb: never buy a 007 game other than the one for the N64.

I haven't heard of that company that did N64 Golden eye, Rare, in a loooong time... wonder what they've been up to... prolly just switched to XBox/PS2 and started developing crap games. Diddy Kong Racing (so rocked), Jet Force Gemini, Goldeneye, Banjo Kazooie, Donkey Kong Country... all were so good! They really did go overboard on the Donkey Kong shit, though... there was like four for Super Nintendo... and they did one for the N64 that I didn't even bother with because, by then, their little scheme of replaying areas over and over was getting tiresome... hmmm, guess I see why I haven't heard of them in a while! I saw the decline...

I like to babble sometimes.

I found this: http://ps2.ign.com/articles/550/550032p1.html

Looks like some of the Rare team joined Free Radical and made Timesplitters. They also made that Second Sight game that just got released.

 

[gh0st]

looks generic, bland, unimaginitive. it would appear to be a skidmark on the underpants of video games. what happened to my beloved bond?

 

[Shuzer]

Or you know, you could just check Rare's site to see what they're up to

http://www.rareware.com/games/upcoming/all_upcoming.html

Kameo was gonna be good, then they switched to XBox. Oh well, Nintendo sold their portion of Rare willingly, I guess they knew what they were doing

 

[Mechagodzilla]

I don't know what the best part of that game is. The fact that it's totally trying to cash in on Goldeneye 64, or the fact that it's taking every bond movie from the 60's to today and forcing them all into one point in time.

 

[Cole]

Goldenye 64 owned, one of the funnest games i ever bought.

 

[Dem0nEgg]

See this is why I hate EA. They take a franchise, normally that they did not create, and run it into the ground. Even dead games are not allowed to rest in peace! There is also NO reason to use the Goldeneye name, you're not fooling ANYONE EA.

This is LAUGHABLE:


"The focus of this first-person shooter shifts from 007 himself to the corrupt underworld and its criminal masterminds. As an aspiring 00 agent dismissed from MI6 for reckless brutality, you’re recruited by Auric Goldfinger in a ruthless war against Dr. No for control of the Bond underworld. A brutal encounter with Dr. No costs you an eye, but Goldfinger’s technicians replace it with a gold-hued, synthetic and upgradeable eye, earning you the name ‘GoldenEye’."

Come on now, Goldeneye was the name of the EMP weapon/key and the film, the N64 game was based on this. EA prove once again that all they want is money, and they will stop at nothing, even souring a great name in gaming history to make a few extra dollars.

I think this is deplorable use of the Goldeneye license, part of the reason I *hate* it when Intellectual Property is in the hands of the wrong people. (If Vivendi wins the IP rights to Half-Life I will start foaming at the mouth ) In this case, obviously rare did not create that IP... but they did pretty damn well with it, and obviously EA know that. EA does not look like it has done very well with it's several chances to make Bond Games. This game will be forgotten, Goldeneye 64, and to a lesser extent it's real sequel "Perfect Dark" will live on in gaming history. For shame EA, for shame.

 

[gh0st]

its about the money my friend, and EA is swimming in it.

 

[Z|insane]

Looks okay, I am not worried about the name as I know its not a decendent of the original.

 

[<RJMC>]

it dont looks too good in graphics
lets hop be good

also

why everibody here hates EA?

 

[Dr. Freeman]

i haven't seen the trailer.. so everyone agrees? EA is hellbent on running another good game franchise into the ground? im shocked..

 

[Dr. Freeman]

why everibody here hates EA?

heres why...

They're a huge corporation that assimilates good developers, then pushes them to release games as fast as possible... and as often as possible. EA promotes practices that are the opposite of developers like Valve that don't release a ton of expansion packs to milk money out of a series (the HL expansions were made to reveal other sides of the story, not just to add a few features to HL and charge full price... or to make mods of the regular game incompatible with mods of the new expansion, forcing people to buy the expansion if they want to play certain mods) and give the community more free content like TFC, Ricochet, DMC.

Think of the Sims. To get the full experience you needed to buy EIGHT products: The Sims, Living Large, House Party, Hot Date, Vacation, Unleashed, Superstar, and Makin Magic.

Think of Battlefield. In two years they've release Battlefield 1942, Secret Weapons, Road to Rome, and Battlefield Vietnam. They promised an SDK for Battlefield 1942 on release... there was none. They said it would come in the next patch... it didn't. They said it would come before the first expansion... it didn't. They said it would come before BF:V... it didn't. It never came. The people in the modding community made all of the tools on their own and taught themselves how to mod the game.

EA is all about making money, even if it means pushing games out before they are ready and releasing the rest as an expansion pack. They don't care about the customers. We are just giant wallets and/or credit cards to them.

i agree with Cyber's accessment of EA.

Damn you Dr.Freeman, I just now searched for that very post for him, and was just about to quote it right now

Great minds erm... remember the same profound things posted previously?

haha yeah, i guess so
that post of Cyber's really stuck out for me.. i hope he doesn't mind me using it here
anyway im tired of big publishers running good game franchises into the ground :|

 

[Dem0nEgg]

They also killed my C&C :'( I miss the days of the original C&C and Red Alert, when EA were not even the publisher, let alone the developer...

They also bring out several sports games every year, which are to my mind, identical to the previous version. They charge full price for these games, and the console kiddies ask their parents to buy them the new one every year for their PS2 No matter how long you live, the Fifa series will out-live you :rolling:

EA are very good at squeezing alot of money out of alot of people. I wouldn't mind them making loads of money, I wouldn't mind them selling carbon copy sports games to people who like that sort of thing.... But what I do mind is what I see as their bad business practices. They buy up promising new developers, and then slowly take them over until they pretty much develop the game too, or at least rush the game out before it is ready. They will control the whole process, alot more than we are worried that Vivendi is doing.

They milk franchises until there is nothing left, they kill innovation in the industry, by selling identical games with slightly better graphics each year. Infact they basically have turned things like the Sims, Battlefield and Medal of Honour into a Sports game-like franchise, with new expansions coming out every year etc etc.

The quality of the games suffer as a result of stagnation in ideas, games being rushed out of the door before the developers are truly happy with them and the fact that these games are all pretty much identical.

So clued up Gamers generally don't like EA, not because they are jumping on some internet Bandwagon, but because the quality of the actual games we play is suffering due to big publishers like EA, and Microsoft. (What they did the Bungie is a classic example, although Halo turned out to be a huge hit anyway - it was FAR from complete)

Indie developers like Valve seem to have more control over their own games, and (hopefully) always will. Half-Life 2 has taken so long to make for a reason - because Valve are perfectionists, they don't rush things. I'd rather have Half-Life and Half-Life 2, than ALL the millions of games that EA pump out, and I mean that.

This "Goldeneye" is a classic example of EA shoddiness. I'm sure the game itself isn't terrible, but it doesn't really look like much to compete with HL2, Doom 3 or Halo 2 does it? They have given it the Goldeneye name so that it will sell. Which I think is rather taking the piss, because they did not MAKE Goldeneye, Rare did. Because of the laws of IP and licences, EA seems to have the bond license for games atm, and that includes naming their game "Goldeneye" ... even though it has nothing to do with the film OR the earlier game. :imu:

 

[Warbie]

This is no more than cashing in on GE's good name :/

 

[<RJMC>]

heres why...

so well id true EA is not so good but still it has good games

 

[kiwii]

Back to the topic.... the screens and trailer looked meh.
