I know it's not a FPS, but Everything or Nothing was definitely the best JB franchise game ever.

[@jacobsoper4708]

007: Legends was apparently made in about 6 months. As happens with licensed titles, Activision was losing the Bond license in 2013, and wanted a cash grab game out for Skyfall's release. So Eurocom (poor Eurocom) had to rush to make a shippable game in like 1/4 of the time you'd at minimum expect for a project like this. There was clearly so much passion that went into certain aspects of it, like the characters, set designs, and stuff like that. But Activision gave them an impossible deadline. Same thing happened to Tony Hawk 5, I think it was. There's often a tendency to describe botched licensed games of this type as "lazy", but they're better described as "mismanaged". The devs get the worst end of the multipronged stick. The cracks were already showing back when Eurocom made Nightfire. The game had to come out in time for Die Another Day, and this meant that they didn't have the time they wanted for polish and maybe adding a few extra missions and stuff like that.

[@Speedojesus]

Eh, with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5, especially with the fact that the 1-3 HD version was also their doing it seems more like Robomodo are just bad at making games alongside given a shit deadline by Activison. Like they just weren't good Pro Skater games and had added features that made the game worse. I just don't see how even with the conditions they had that they made a worse game than what was made by devs who were basically the first to make a full-on attempt on hardware that was less conducive to making those games.

[@TheInfiniteLegend]

I feel like Eurocom shouldn't get the blames, but it should be Activision. They went bankrupt less than a week after 007: Legends was released, not to mention, they're just developers. I just wished if someone, anyone would bring Eurocom back to life for one more 007 game. I feel like Eurocom Entertainment Software would be a great second-party developer for Nintendo or Microsoft... P.S: Nintendo actually published GoldenEye 007 for Wii in Japan

[@minirop]

Idk what it is about this game in particular that does it but no other first persons shooters really have the same effect.

Besides, they had to pitch their vision of the game to the people who hold the rights to the 007 IP. A lot of people have tried and failed to get the rights.

That's also what I thought of when they kept lowering the crosshair in Halo since Halo 2. I believe that Halo 5 put it back in the center like with Halo Combat Evolved and now on The Master Chief Collection, there's an option to center the crosshair for all Halo games. It makes a huge difference in terms of gameplay so you're not constantly looking at the sky. People say it was like that for Halo's "verticality" but that would make the crosshair position meaningless if you are above someone. That is why the center is where all FPS crosshairs should be

I just made a config for the remaster that lets you use the gyroscope of a dualshock 4 to aim better and quicker. Great for playing the game via Steam Link in the living room.

You can play it with keyboard and mouse...

Well yeah. The kb+mouse version of Xenia is how I got it to work lol. Sometimes I just like to chill on my couch with a controller in both hands and an additional way to aim. When I'm at my desk then hell yeah, kb+mouse all the way.

I think its very under appreciated & people need to like it for how it differs from the other bond games. I thought of it as a what if bond joined the dark side type of thing & the opening credits music made you feel like a villain which was pretty cool. One time I did multiplayer with two of my friends in scaramanga's fun house they both went for the gold gun at the same time & I skewered them both with the spike trap. I was laughing my arse off while they were all wtf just happened? One of them was pissed at me for being a regular sharp shooter with the golden gun, god I love being evil.

The World is Not Enough was such a good sequel! It improved upon Goldeneye in every way and it's a damn shame that it didn't get the attention that it deserved. It even had full voice acting, which was rare and impressive for the N64! Don't know why it never got full love.

Very late here, doubt I'm speaking to many people, but for what it's worth, Agent Under Fire is a game which holds a special place in my heart. When I was 17, in the summer of '02, I brought my 2 best friends on a bus ride from Brooklyn, NY to Kansas City to stay with my wealthy relatives on my Dad's side. My friend had packed his PS2, & we spent every spare moment playing the multiplayer mode. The grappling gun was a great feature that made the multiplayer mode that much more fun.

i love seeing these "look at the whole series" kinda videos. i love your content as it is and id love to see you review Everything or Nothing because its one of my favorite of the series. Also maybe reviewing all of the Splinter Cell games would be dope too

I'd love to see you cover the non FPS ones as well. Definitely be a shorter video, but Blood Stone definitely deserves a bit of coverage at the very least.

[@willduke5837]

I’ve only just stumbled on this video now, but wanted to see your take on my personal favourite video game ever, Quantum of Solace. I was a big James Bond fan at the time and would’ve been around 11-12 when I first bought it for the Xbox 360. After eventually growing bored of the single player, I tried the multiplayer and fell in love with the game. There was a small community of players who you would often play against every day, and even had numerous clans which would make for the games being competitive and fun. For others they had Call of Duty, but a small number of us we had a PEGI 12 version called Quantum of Solace. The maps were perfect, guns that could be unlockable through earning money after each game, leaderboards that would become my ultimate goal of becoming a top 100 player in the world (only ever reached top 1000). There were also a number of glitches where you could escape the maps and led to having fun private games include the classic Mike Myers games with Friends. Although no one will probably read this, Quantum of Solace was a special game for me, and I might be the only person on earth to say it’s my favourite. Great video 😊

[@DarrenTS13]

I loved the multiplayer mode. At one point I used to play it almost nightly on the ps3.

I grew up loving James Bond movies and the video games. It started with "GoldenEye" and then "The World Is Not Enough" on the N64 and then I went to GameCube with "Nightfire", "GoldenEye: Rouge Agent" and "From Russia With Love". Then I went to the Xbox 360 with "Quantum of Solace", "GoldenEye Reloaded" and finaly "007 Legends". Just a lot of fun video games and it is sad that there are no more Bond games :-(. Feels like there could have been made a lot of exciting games based on the franchise's rich history.

James Bond was a huge impact on my gaming childhood, I had every game, and knew them inside and out, I'm so glad to see that you did this video. I also really enjoyed Agent Under Fire, it was the first one I played and just has an amazing look and feel in my opinion. And Nightfire I played about 14 times.

[@nignamedmutt7270]

I'll never forget playing the shit out of Agent Under Fire with my brother, and friends in our neighborhood. Then my mind was fucking blown away when Nightfire came out and I got to play that. Then I finally got to see a couple of the movies.... and they actually disappointed me. I always thought the games were better than the movie. The video games always gave me some weird impression that the movies would be more comparable to Metal Gear Solid(in a movie format) and I could never stand the James Bond just felt so spoiled in all his adventures. Eventually I gravitated to just being a full blown metal gear fan, but those 2 games dominated so much of my childhood I'll never be able to let them go. Always blew my mind that there was never an attempt to remake those games(specifically the multi-player/splitscreen modes, I swear online gaming always tried to imitate those games, if the 2 concepts were merged.... it would really be total perfection)

Seriously, It was amazing for my friends and I. Something about nailing that friend who camped in a 4 player split screen game with the rail gun just made it perfect.

I grew up playing Goldeneye N64 and played the absolute hell out of Goldeneye Wii when it came out. Being a Wii owner, it was nice having a proper, AAA-quality shooter made specifically for the system, and I'd argue it did a solid job of updating the story and gameplay of Goldeneye while still being a good homage, even if a few of the characters and some of the missions were simplified or streamlined compared to the originals. Goldeneye Wii also had an excellent multiplayer mode that I put well over 200 hours into back in high school. There wasn't any voice chat, but it felt great to play and there was a nice variety of gameplay modes to choose from (I was partial to Black Box myself).

[@JohnJones-iv3mo]

Yeah, Goldeneye really was the one of the best multiplayer shooters on the Wii, other than it you maybe have some of the CoD ports, which were just worse versions of the proper titles. Black box & that one VIP mode were my favorites, I really liked that black box made your choice of pistols actually matter, so I always used the Kunara V if I could.
