Looks it. Just gandered at the NGC mag video of Goldeneye: Rogue Agent for the Cube, and it looks utter pants.

Clunky, lifeless, very un-Bond in that it is in no way smooth. Granted it still has some work to be done on it before release, but it needs a hell of a lot. Damn EA.

*shakes head*

Thoughts, people?

I saw a Gamespot video of it - it's biggest features were 'Dual Wielding'


.....................................

and 'Death Traps' - i.e pre-scripted things the player can set up. Hmmm, how very creative and organic. This game is so clever

It looks crap to me. I can't see why people are even getting a little bit excited, apart from being hype-attracted morons.
Juddery and ugly, and there's no bullet traces so you can't see where the hell you're shooting without bringing up a sight.

I was considering doing a thread like this after watching the NGC video with perplexed disgust, but thought the fan-boy backlash probably wasn't worth it.

Final word:
crap.

muh

Are there really still people out there who lack the intelligence to realise that any future Bond game will be average at best?

Do you seriously still read about new Bond games and think 'ooo that looks great!'.



Fool.

It does indeed look poor.

Shame.

Considering the first words about this game were "Goldeneye" and "remake". Ever since then the excitement bar has slowly decended and after that poor video it's left me scratching my head.

EA can't do Bond games. 'Tis the way the world works.

As for Rare, I'm not sure. If they can pull it out of the bag with Perfect Dark Zero I would love them to do another Bond. But at the moment Rare have been a little pants, and their even making a game called 'It's Mr. Pants'. Dear me...

Rouge Agent is just plain....stupid really. Being the bad guy just won't work. It's not a Bond game then. It's a Goldfinger game. And the whole package just looks shabby and incomplete - which is what lot a EA games turn out like.

EA are all about money and nothing else. There are very few games of theirs I would call 'good games'.

Oh well, another EA flop...

I've always thought this would be utter donkey balls. Come, the name alone proves that it was always meant to be a crappy cash-in.
