OXM UK: Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford has revealed that the company's 007 shooter, 2002's James Bond 007: Nightfire, nearly had the shooting elements removed by guardians of the Bond licence.
IO Interactive are bringing Bond games back to the world. This could be an incredible chapter for the franchise. Sam also discusses Bond games of the past.
With the release of "No Time to Die" on the horizon, Newsweek has taken a look at the best and worst James Bond video games of all time.
They didn’t make the cut but I also liked From Russia with Love, Bloodstone and the MP in Quantum of Solace.
Yeah QoS had some really fun MP. It had some lag issues when I played it, but it was cool.
The best was always going to be Goldeneye! Very fond memories of the split screen MP on N64!
Agree, wish someone never stole my copy, then one of the games on ps2 my cousin borrowed it and never return. I did like everything or nothing and song.
Have to say, this was one of the very few times I fully agree with a "best/worst" list. The top 3 are definitely my top 3...in that order, no less.
Agent Under Fire was the shit. Probably the only one that comes close to Goldeneye, imo. Multiplayer matches in the Church level with everyone using grappling hooks and sniping each other to death. Or the harbor level and everyone rocket launching each other for hours. Lots of fun.
I love that multiplayer facing bots and grapping hook anywhere around the environment for some brutal kills lol!!! That game was so fun, and it had 60FPS for PS2 and Gamecube it was buttersmooth.
I actually thought Quantum of Solace was pretty good. Treyarch did a decent job. The levels were well designed and had actual replayability. It was a little bit too action-heavy, and not having driving sections was a mistake. But I still enjoyed my time with it.
I'm excited to see what IO Interactive does with the license. I think they're currently the best choice. Hitman laid a great foundation for a Bond-style game. They aren't known for driving gameplay so I doubt we'll see any, but I'm still optimistic about the game.
With new details of IO Interactive’s Project 007 being gradually revealed and it holding the potential to be the next generation of Bond fans’ first gaming experience, it makes Hamish wonder just why Nightfire was such a success, and why it’s a game that he still play's today.
What? That would've been so weird. Really glad they didn't, my friends and I used to play this a lot a few years back.
Nightfire is actually in 2nd place (behind Goldeneye 64) on my top Bond games list. :P
must have sold her shares since, or come to her senses, as the Daniel Craig movies have ramped up the violence.
how can you not have shooting in a bond game?
I even liked Night Fire
I like grahpic and evrything else. Its looks like original...
But new game is like Call of Duty...
I honestly think Nightfire was awesome!
Agent Under Fire is my favorite though...even above Goldeneye.
The multi-player on AUF was INCREDIBLE!
