or Blood Stone 007. or James Bond Blood Stone. or James Bond 007 Blood Stone. whatever. It's the james bond game Bizarre was making (PGR, Blur, The Club, other games that no one played)

looks like Splinter Cell Conviction with driving sequences and without stealth

This better be in the game!

Pretty much what I was thinking. Judas Priest

Looks very generic.

Very.

Looks good.

Bizarre is such a good dev. The driving sequences would have been amazing. There's sparks even in the gunfights!

So what's the development story on this. Canned? Or Bizarre dumped and someone else finished it?

demi · « **Reply #6 on:** July 16, 2010, 12:06:12 PM »

Also, I wonder who Joss Stone fucked to get in on this.

It's Daniel Craig doing the voice, I think.

It doesn't look bad but honestly I think I'd have more fun rewatching a Bourne movie. The shooting just looks like you're being guided through scripted, tile-based level design with no real need for strategy. The only time you do some real bond shit is when you press a button to slow down time and automatically headshot three guys at once. But UH-OH, it looks like you have to build up a meter for that stuff.

This gen a lot of shooters have been adding RPG or stealth mechanics to give you more choice and customization with how you approach a level but this game looks just doesn't do anything like that. That might be why I haven't really liked a Bond game since Goldeneye, where avoiding alarms and memorizing level layouts tickled me in the OCDish type of way.

and the graphics kind of suck.

cool breeze · « **Reply #13 on:** July 18, 2010, 08:29:03 PM »

The only two real things that interest me about this game are that it's made by Bizarre (I heard the team that worked on The Club specifically) and interviews they cite Everything or Nothing as the game they think is the best Bond game. I really liked Everything or Nothing and it's nice to see others that agree that it is the best Bond game rather than just a ho-hum FPS with a bond skin.

The actual gameplay video looks way too scripted and kind of boring.

demi · « **Reply #14 on:** July 18, 2010, 08:29:57 PM »

EON probably is the best bond game (disregarding Goldeneye). Second place would go to Nightfire

Glad someone else remembers Nightfire. That one was really well done but almost always seemingly forgotten. It had a good variety of level types. Even the underwater driving portions were cool.

Yeti · « **Reply #16 on:** July 19, 2010, 04:22:35 PM »

Agent under fire wasn't that bad, kind of like a generic Goldeneye. It had a pretty fun grappling hook mechanic that was fun to abuse in multiplayer matches though.

chronovore · « **Reply #17 on:** July 21, 2010, 10:45:52 AM »

So this is the first Activision title using the James Bond license after EA didn't renew? I thought we were getting a whole new Bond, not a movie guy, but some young turk from the soap opera scene...

cool breeze · « **Reply #18 on:** July 21, 2010, 11:48:15 AM »

Technically it is the second since they made a Quantum of Solace game that was basically Call of Duty gameplay through both Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace movies. Or it could be the third if the Goldeneye remake for the Wii comes it sooner. It is the full wholly original Bond game they are putting out.

and yeah, I am confused about what happened to that other actor. Maybe he just does the voice.

cool breeze · « **Reply #19 on:** July 24, 2010, 03:26:36 AM »

This is the Goldeneye Wii game, not Blood Stone, but there is a video of the single player and it looks solid.

[youtube=560,345]b_yhlHOzp78[/youtube] (video starts at 1:30)

I read that it is being made by Eurocom, who made Nightfire and the PS2 version of Quantum of Solace (the only good version).

I was waiting to finish Castlevania to pass to another game, but the big flying dragon boss at the end is fucking with my patience so i think i'm gonna pass right into this one.

Great graphics, and a nice sense of pacing so far. I'm really enjoying this.

Dickie Dee · « **Reply #29 on:** October 29, 2010, 06:17:33 PM »

Only watched a couple videos but looks great - they really seemed to nail the melee style of the Craig bond movies (i assume some of that was pre-canned, but if there's enough of them it'll still be awesome)

You can also select a difficulty that makes it like the original. No regenerating health, and Body Armor.

This game could actually be pretty fun then.

How you likin it so far?

demi · « **Reply #36 on:** November 02, 2010, 05:08:32 PM »

Seems ok so far, since theres no shitty waggle to be found now. The music isnt as good of course. There's a radar now so you can see enemies. There's some stealth involved, you can take enemies down from behind, rather than having to chop them.

Yeah they're pretty basic.

B - reload
L - aim
R - shoot
D-Pad - change weaps, add silencer, etc.
X - crouch

Raban · « **Reply #40 on:** November 02, 2010, 05:18:28 PM »

The gameplay vids made it look very CoDish, and normally I wouldn't enjoy that but with Goldeneye it looks like it works really well. I love what I've seen of the level design. Shame the music isn't up to snuff, but if everything else is there, who am I to complain.

demi · « **Reply #41 on:** November 02, 2010, 06:41:57 PM »

The stealth is pretty wack, it has that cruddy mechanic where they just randomly see you and you're like "uh ok"

It's ok though. Especially since you can use the Cube controller. Fuck waggle

Waggle IS better for FPS. Such a shame most of you aren't willing to adapt. I will say having 60 FPS is extremely important for wii pointer controls. I haven't had a chance to see if Goldeneye has the same silky controls of Prime 3.

Raban · « **Reply #45 on:** November 02, 2010, 10:22:12 PM »

As a proud member of the PC master race, console fps with waggle is awful. Sticks are bad, but aiming's no good if the reticle isn't locked to the center of the screen.

I hate the wii or motion controls in general for fps games. I don't like that I have to constantly be holding that Wii pointer up and relative to the screen. It's not like a mouse where I can just rest my hand on top of it. It hurts after playing for a relatively short amount of time in my experience. Even if all the hd consoles get motion controls in the future far more people will always play with dual analog.

There may be one day there is a new interface for consoles that is superior to dual analog but the current incarnation of the Wii or the move for normal people ain't gonna cut it.

naff · « **Reply #47 on:** November 02, 2010, 10:28:40 PM »

Touchy, imprecise aiming

Having to aim at the sides of the screen to turn or remapping controls so you turn instead of strafing with the left stick

no locked reticule

Waggle

Try again EmCee

What are you talking about? You don't need your reticule to be center with waggle controls. Aim, track, and fire. I have an embarrassing amount of CoD wii playtime to attest to this. Keyboard and mouse may be better, but I can't adjust to wads movement for the life of me.

I still think the best would be a touch pad instead of a second stick. Aiming in DS and iphone games feels good with fast swipes or subtle motions like a virtual trackball.

oh, and if I'm not mistaken, the 'stealth' in Goldeneye is more to give you an advantage for when the shooting starts. Not really a stealth game and just a tactical option. Uncharted 2 did something similar, and I think the CoD games do it too (that snow mission in MW2 as an example). I like that and I wish more shooters would do it.

Raban · « **Reply #55 on:** November 02, 2010, 10:56:48 PM »

I almost paid $50 for this but I have better games only half-way eaten on my plate, so I'll wait. I might consider modding my Wii since pirating games seems like the way to go.

Even the crazy nintendo fans on gaf pirate wii games, then complain that the system doesn't get more real games.

I like collecting things so I'll buy Goldeneye when it's cheap.
