"GoldenEye: Rogue Agent Community Day, Part II" What We Learned...

Read the article. Wish I could do stuff liek that, you know, take a trip to review an upcoming video game. But that will never happen, sadly.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...

EA gets it!

Well, I don't doubt that. Nightfire was a very good Bond game, and I guess TWINE was, too, even though I haven't played it.

But does this mean that EA gets it when it comes to Rogue Agent as well?

I think we'll have to wait and see, but I think John was referring to the way they treat their core fanbase when he said they 'get it'

[zencat]

Yes, I meant in regards to how they treat their fan base, but also in the type of Bond product they produce. I think Everything or Nothing is a good a Bond "movie" as Eon has made in 10 years. And hiring the likes of Bruce Feirstein as writer on EoN, and Ken Adam as production designer Rogue Agent...how these guys talk about Bond and the excitement they show...they just seem to "get it."

I used to like Everything Or Nothing, but when I really think about it today, it was garbage. It's hard for me to call it a Bond game. I don't think I will like Rogue Agent, either, and I think that Doom 3 and Far Cry will always reign supreme.

Long live Far Cry. Long live Doom 3.

[Qwerty]

Brilliant read. That must have been extremely fun to get to play against all the others, and the competition seemed quite stiff. Thrilling.

EA does get it, that's why IMO, they're still going with Bond. They embrace the fans, and just seem very 'open'.

[BONDFINESSE 007]

well for me i wont be getting this game because if it "aint" bond i dont want it, just give me another bond game with bond and i will be happy

[Qwerty]

Oh, at least try it!

And it looks so cool.

[BONDFINESSE 007]

well qwert just for you i will rent it just to see how it is

[Qwerty]

Very nice thought...

Even so, do it for yourself. Never know how something can be unless you give it a try.

That thing that I think about this game that would be really exciting for Bond fans is the Bond villains! I mean, I was a little... "eh uh blah" about this game when I first heared there would be no Bond in it. But then I got all excited to see the villains in action.

Hehehehe...

I'd rather play a Bond villian in a movie or a game rather than Bond.

I was the same way at first, how can it be a Bond game without Bond? But the more I see of the game the more I realize to combat this EA is loading up on the Bondian elements, i.e.; villains from the past, classic locations from the films, Ken Adam sets, etc., etc. In a way, I think this game without Bond will actually end up being more "Bondian" than say Licence To Kill.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...

EA gets it!

uh...... only in regards to Bond stuff do they come anywhere near to "getting it"


........otherwise, EA pays very little attention to communities........ unlike many other companies.

EA doesn't give their dve companies nearly as many community opportunities to intereact with the actual devs for example. (not counting Bond stuff)




Take a look at id, Epic, Blizzard (sort of), Raven and even Ion Storm.......

[Athena007]

Well, I do know that while we were there, there were other "community days" going on for different games as well. Let's just say Bond wise... when we talk about all the other co's that handle Bond stuff, EA seems the one that's really reaching out. At least that's what I'm seeing.

Regarding the huge fanbase though, it's good that they do "get it."

Bond naturally has many fans.

[00-FAN008]

I find they have a negative attitude when it comes to FAQ.

If EA games really "got it", then they would've taken the best elements of all their previous games instead of trying new things, like playing in third person and playing from the perspective of the bad guy.

I am not referring to how they make the Bond games, but how they embrace the community.

There is a video called GE: Rogue Agent Undercover.

It's hosted by Patrick Gilmore and includes some interesting clips from the game, including...Bond! We also get to see, for the first time, Scaramanga and Pussy Galore.

[Athena007]

Now on CBn's Main Page, Part II...

"GoldenEye: Rogue Agent Community Day, Part II" What We Learned...

Make sure to check it out, there's a Quicktime MOV from EA "GoldenEye Rogue Agent Undercover pt1" (I had the mov in my hands already, but thanX to Tanger for pointing it out as well )

[[dark]]

Whoa.

Now this is looking cool. That shot where Blofeld's volcano lair lights up... gorgeous! Took them a while, but EA has this Bond thing down-pat, now!

I love how involved EA is being with the fans, in an effort to make their best game yet. It's all so hands-on! MGM could learn a thing or two.

I'm mighty jealous, Athena!

[Qwerty]

This is going to be a hit, and one that blows alot out of the water. I was so skeptical at first, and thought this would be a miss. Now, it seems they have down everything to insure this game pulls out all of the stops.

The graphics look good, the levels sound interesting, the characters seem to be very well thought out, and it's not your typical James Bond game.

And yes, that looks like that one bit could be Switzerland.

Truly looking forward to this.

Absolutely.

With the "GoldenEye" title and the usual EA publicity onslaught, this is going to be huge.

[Qwerty]

Oh yeah. With a title like that, you can be sure certain comparisons will occur.

[Athena007]

I did find it interesting to find out that the rumored title that was running around "Goldfinger vs Doctor No" was actually going to be the title, there was a bunch of cool concept art hanging on the walls of the Bond level at EA studios.

[Qwerty]

Spotted that too. I remember my cousin telling me about it very early on in some gaming magazine.

[[dark]]

Glad they dropped it, then. Rogue Agent is so much cooler.

[Qwerty]

IMO Pussy Galore...doesn't look a whole lot like Pussy Galore.

The hairstyle seems different, as does the face slightly. Still a very striking pic.
