Update 11.19.2020: It's confirmed!!! New 007 game has finally been announced! Created by IOInteractive, and simply called "007 Project." Get hyped!!! RIP Sean Connery. Update: Had to completely cut out the awesome intro sequence I created for this video, along with the beautiful animation Syfydan created for me. But I shall hold on to the original version of the video myself :) If you liked the work I did here - please help support the channel by becoming a member of my Patreon. A simple dollar a month can help tremendously with my work - as funding from it helps me afford better equipment and resources to continuously improve these documentaries. You can even sign up to gain early access, a private discord to hang out and participate in the multiplayer portions of these videos, and shout-outs! Check it out here: www.patreon.com/Nick930 Thanks for tuning in everybody! This project took an insane amount of time and effort to pull together. I actually intended to make this last February but wanted to really dive deep in the franchise by going through each and every film as well. This was a lot of fun to make - and I really hope a developer takes interest in this franchise again. The final section of this particular video includes a breakdown of what I feel would make for a great 007 game, and I would love to hear your ideas of what you feel would be the right step. Also - from the poll I conducted a few weeks back, the winner was predictably "GoldenEye 1997," with Nightfire and Everything or Nothing coming in at 2nd and 3rd from waaay behind. Expected a bit more of an even split - but that just goes to show how insanely important GoldenEye was to the gaming industry. After watching this, does your opinion still stand, or is there another game in the series you're interested in trying out? Let me know!

I reckon IO Interactive would make a great Bond game, judging by their experience with the Hitman series.

[@Nick930]

yeah i considered that - but idk how the sandbox environments would transfer to the 007 experience. I was thinking Rocksteady could do a great 007 game. The Batman Arkham games are fantastic and I can see them reworking their design to function with 3rd person shooting mechanics instead (or even first person) A semi-open world like an Arkham Game, combined with 3rd person shooting mechanics like the ones in Max Payne 3 would be amazing (minus the slow motion diving) Edit: Well - sandbox style 007 it is!

Hitman 2 engine would be perfect for Bond. Replace 47 with Bond, you can do the entire history of Bond, although stages would take awhile to make considering how meticulous IOI is. They do amazing work. Only driving missions would be gone but Forza Horizon 4 has those cars so they could do something as well.

I was going to say the same thing. If they want to make a good 007 game Hitman is the blueprint.

[@HazzerJ]

At the end of the day, James Bond is both an agent of espionage as well as an assassin, as they mention multiple times in the books and films. Both of these aspects can be incorporated into a hitman game. Shoot 'em ups are awesome and Goldeneye was a masterpiece that raised the bar for that particular genre, but if they wanted a game that followed a slower pace of the movies that could be matched to the odd shoot out, Hitman is indeed an excellent template.

[@nonamenoname1942]

[@zekeoken2111]

I’ve seen a lot of so called “history explained” videos and this is by far the best and well constructed. A lot of background information and doesn’t bore you. I rarely press subscribe and this time’s worth it.

[@felman87]

I'm surprised Bond never went the route of Metal Gear Solid. Have things start of with stealth, like how Snake was really weak with no weapons at the start of that game and eventually scale up, like how by about the halfway point, Snake was so geared out he was sniping snipers and taking down helicopters. Not to mention that the faux-history of the MGS story is practically inspired by movies like Bond.

[@paulallen8109]

Hideo Kojima (who made the MGS series) is a James Bond fan and in MGS3 one of the characters even asks Snake if he's seen "Goldfinger". However the character Snake is more based on Snake Plissken in "Escape from New York" and the first MGS game has a remarkably similar plot. Here are a few examples: 1. Former war veteran who is coerced/forced into taking a mission he has no interest in. 2. He has to secretly infiltrate a facility and rescue a president which he views with contempt. 3. A time limit of 18-20 hours before an important event happens and it's all over. 4. Having something implanted in the body which will kill him slightly before that time is over. 5. Character wise being of few words and disillusioned with war and those in charge. 6. Highly suspicious of the actual purpose of the mission and what he's not been told. The character Snake Plissken has turned rogue before the events of Escape from New York and doesn't believe in the politicians, military commanders and system he was merely a tool of. In the MGS games the character Big Boss (Old Snake) also has turned rogue and created his own nation of other disillusioned and disgruntled former soldiers who were used indifferently for reasons not clearly stated to them. And you'll need no more evidence than the fact Hideo Kojima himself says that Escape From New York is one of his favorite films. James Bond is pretty much the exact opposite. He goes to fancy hotels, night clubs and lives an opulent life. It's clear to him the villains must go down and in all the James Bond films prior to the Daniel Craig reboot ones he did it tongue-in-cheek as if it was just another day at work for him. He does what he does without question and rarely questions the orders he's been given by his superiors. "Have things start of with stealth" The problem is that James Bond isn't a very "stealthy" character. He presents himself to the villains, henchmen, women and allies in plain view. In the movies he keeps anything but a low profile since he's making a huge impression wherever he goes - even when he wins at cards at some casino. In most cases he even tells people his real name, which no secret agent ever would. James Bond movies are action adventures which are high on entertainment and low on realism. Bond goes to expensive places, wears designer clothes, meets beautiful women, talks to the villain, beats the henchman and foils the villain's plan. In the end he wins and enjoys the ending with some lady. Once you start making games who sway from the formula you miss the entire appeal of the character and you'll get somebody who is "James Bond in name only". "I'm surprised Bond never went the route of Metal Gear Solid." Because that would be an obvious knock-off.

Pretty much everything you described about a new 007 game in the future is what IO Interactive's 007 game is probably gonna be like, considering the gameplay of Hitman. So excited to see more about it once they start developing it etc.

[@BiggestDawgEver]

"Goldeneye" was just a great game and a console seller. Truly groundbreaking. "Nightfire" and "Everything or Nothing" were awesome Bond experiences though. "Everything or Nothing" was my favorite Pierce Brosnan adventure and a fantastic way to say goodbye to him in the role. I loved the variety of game play and it almost feels a little like an "Uncharted" precursor now, just without the traversal elements. My favorite moment was the first time I motorcycle slid under an exploding tanker truck. I was Bond, James Bond.

[@CoffeeFiend1]

One of the most underrated games of the last 2 decades honestly. Most people have also never even heard of it. It wasn't like any of the others and by lieu of that the others tarnish it very heavily as they were for the most part arcadey run and gun sims with a few clever gems sprinkled every now and again. In 35 years it's still one of the best co-ops I've ever played too, me and my brother used to try and get through without taking any damage and because of how tactical and realistic they made in compared to previous titles it was actually possible to do that with planning and discipline.

[@TheKuDaddy]

@@CoffeeFiend1 I couldn't agree, more, with all your points. Only difference being I'm only at 30 years, so far 😅. I honestly think the co-op was my first-ever experience with an actual tactical co-op game, with proper, realized stealth mechanics. I'd never experienced anything like it, at the time. Even today, I'd say it's the most enjoyable form of gaming, to me.

Nighfire was so good! I still play it via the Dolphin emulator.

Watched the whole thing. Awesome video man

[@Lamafiasiberiana]

Brilliant work. Thank you.

[@constantintan3397]

The world is not enough for the n64 is probably my favourite one. It set out to do what no other game since then has done, follow in the footsteps of Goldeneye. It's better in every aspect yet it's quite obscure and alot of people don't seem to like it, not sure why :/

[@liquidgeorge]

It's awful when compared to Goldeneye 007. Just compare the feel and the weight of shooting in Goldeneye 007, as well as the animations of the characters. TWINE feels so empty in comparison. It was just ok.

[@constantintan3397]

@@liquidgeorgeI agree in all honesty with your points. But TWINE wasn't awful or empty far from it, people complained about it being too scripted yet they act like Goldeneye's levels aren't confusing and make you have to play a single level 5 times trough trial and error. Twine literally did what goldeneye did and more, people just look at it trough rose tinted glasses and don't see the fact that it has falws. Alot of Goldeneye levels that were more open were just walking sims, they were a nice change of pace but not much more. Not saying TWINE is perfect, far from it it has some pretty crappy sound design, the gunplay is quite basic but it's still objectivley better than Goldeneye.

[@SolidPeaks]

I think if you made a hybrid of the new Hitmans sandbox stealth micro worlds mixed with Jedi: Fallen orders condensed exploration, there would be a great Bond game there MI6 would act as a frequently visited hub to talk to characters like M and Moneypenny to get missions and side objectives, gain intel on environments ect. and Q branch can double as an upgrade menu and a practice arena for gunplay and vehicle courses.

[@Nick930]

Thats another great licensed franchise example, well put!

[@NatimusProductions]

These games are all my childhood... Thanks for making this!!

[@jogsamson]

I know nothing about making videos but I imagine just getting all the different clips of all the games ALONE must take so so much work.

[@V8RacerGT]

My favorite is GoldenEye 007 on N64 by far.

[@mcurran6505]

If they ever do make another 007 game I want it to be like Everything or Nothing (which is one of my favourite PS2 games). Original story, 3rd person, stealth, hand to hand combat, less shooting, less gadgets (maybe), noticeable villains, Easter eggs & memorable gameplay.

[@pengwaffe]

absolutely love the "history of" series. some of your best work imo

[@Bureidenkune]

Great video, thanks so much!

[@AA-pz5sk]

Man the intro and thumbnail were ligit🔥

[@dudeletsplay4792]

Great video man I enjoyed it alot

[@ProWrestlingReality]

I always really liked the n64 Goldeneye it just had this cool atmosphere that made it feel like bonds most deadly atmospheric adventure...

[@lisacottrill7259]

Goldeneye was and remains the king,,,,,nothing tops it

[@BambooBrad]

You know when EA buys something, it’s ruined

[@MovieGuy1998]

they actually did a fantastic job with the bond games! activisions games were awful, except blood stone!

[@khav11]

what about nhl games?

[@j.h.2967]

Excellent video Nick930! This is what a huge Bond fan myself really enjoy watching!

[@j.h.2967]

FUN FACT! A part of the soundtrack from '007: Agent Under Fire' was used in Dead Space 1, where you are jumping around outside the USG Ishimura. (Chapter 3)

[@MistaMurk88]

I love your video's Nick. Never quit.

[@tanvirmridha4529]

Still waiting for RDR2 Pc vs Console

[@WhiteJarrah]

46:41 He didn't die, that level was a VR simulation like that scene in Die Another Day.

[@Skellingtor97]

Someone pointed it out before me! GoldenEye then proceeds to get fired by MI6 and joins forces with Goldfinger, but not before getting his eye shot out by Dr. No and having it replaced with a cybernetic one made by Francisco Scaramanga. Typing it out makes me realize it's actually kind of a messy story lol

[@NP-ip3nj]

Nice job on this!

[@lamarmartin1813]

Golden Eye 64 Edition Agent under fire and Nightfire Were My Childhood memories always will be had so much fun playing them!!!

[@DragonBallG69]

Lmao u made this vid just so u could make the cool thumbnail.

[@Nick930]

Lol not really - ive had to rework the thumbnail about 50 times before landing on that design. I kept wanting to throw "Games" in somewhere, but the design I landed on just looked too cool to ruin with anything else :)

[@ak47guy]

@@Nick930 will you make any direct comparison between warzone and sth coz in my opinion there are many creators who compares video games but not the way you do. I find your comparison more clear than others that's Y I was asking

[@CeeWorld69]

No he made this video because he wanted to make the history of 007 games.....

[@alysssabear]

Use your brain and realize that if he only made this video just to show off the thumbnail, then it wouldn't be an hour long.

[@EpicTrailerMusicUK]

Thanks for using the music again nick. Here’s a link to the track: James Bond epic orchestral cover: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hImpgqivbbOqZq8

[@Nick930]

Absolutely! The track is awesome, needs to be featured in a "No Time to Die" trailer!

[@thisisnihilkumar]

NICK U DESERVE MILLIONS FOR UR HARD WORK AND LOVE FOR SUCH FORGOTTEN GAMES.

[@James-gj8rn]

You just earned yourself a subscriner Nick, love these videos, looking forward to more "History of" videos
