A possible box art, along with several new screenshots, have been revealed for the upcoming the PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 first-person shooter, 007 Legends.
It’s been a while since the video game world was blessed with a James Bond title.
There were a few non-film ones back on PS2/GC that were really good.
I can imagine the cinematic elements of those games would look even better now.
Everything or Nothing is my second best Bond game behind Goldeneye 64, followed by Nightfire.
we have a lot of great video games and we have a lot coming out this year...lame
What's happened to the James Bond franchise in general?
It, much like Star Trek, Star Wars, has had too much of the "real world" shoved down their throats. That plus people with agendas hijacking them thinking they can use brand value to deliver "transformative" messaging while lacking the awareness, the creative talent, needed to make them entertaining at even a base level.
Also, getting back on subject, doesn't help that movie studios don't see gaming studios as equals who need as much if not more time to do their jobs right.
Yeah, come to think of it. Maybe their absence can be attributed to the falling popularity of the videogame adaptation or even the licensed franchise tie-in, as well as the gaming landscape being quite different now than it was. The Bond titles filled a niche of FPS-action titles, the likes of which are not exactly uncommon nowadays. That said, the Bond games were a fun take on the genre that I'd like to see return one day.
That's true. You couldn't get past the PS2 days without a movie tie in. Now, I can't think of the last game tie in.. even Star Wars was different
Developers have retreated from the James Bond property, a sad state of affairs for what was once the gold standard of licensed video game adaptations.
You'd think that a developer would release a 007 game more akin to a stealth franchise like Hitman by now to play up on Bond's espionage
I can remember more than a decade ago, the Goldeneye-esque shooters were fairly popular. Unfornately, Goldeneye-esque shouters seemed to die out after 2005, with the polarizing PDZ having a good online population for a few years. Conversely, the extremely content rich and well designed Timesplitters: Future Perfect underperformed in sales. As for bonds games, I haven't played one since 007 Nightfire (a personal favourite). I personally, think if 007 games (and Pefect Dark games) were to return, the titles should take influence from Deus Ex. With levels designed to allow the players to either play stealthy, uses gadgets or just shoot up the place.
There are many reasons why a highly anticipated game will fail such as toxic work environment or outdated game engine. Then there are the moments when it was obvious the game was going to be a failure, and yet the development team was oblivious to the red flags. This is a look at five games that were obviously going to fail but the development team ignored the red flags.
I feel like Battleborne is the next game on this list. Nothing about it looks bad per say, but it's really not standing out, and no one really seems to care about it (including me) it's just like that pretty normal kid that sits at the edge of class no one really pays much attention to.
resident evil 6 was already doom, when i was playing it with the ps3 controller. qte ,camera story.killing wesker was dumb mistake to replace him with a boring character. re6 was a big mess
I'm gonna throw evolve in on this. Yes it sold opening week. Unfortunately it fell fast from there on out at was critically panned.
Daniel Craig again...how can you play levels from older Bond movies with a totaly differn't Bond...especialy one where he's more like Jason Bourne then James Bond.
that box art looks horrendous, no way that is the box art lol.
@GameSpawn if were going to exclude George Lazenby ( her majesty secret service)then Timothy Dalton (Licence to kill,The Living Daylights)from the list cause he blew chunks as 007.
