Topic: Sequel to Goldeneye being developed by EA and Free Radical?

no rare gave up the creative license before ea bought it...bond was never gonna be in perfect dark.

Yeah, I was under the impression that Rare just didn't want or couldn't pick up the Bond license for Perfect Dark, so they just substituted.  Which makes me think...If Rare didn't have PD, what would change?  First off, Rare wouldn't have that best-seller on their list, so would Microsoft still have gone after them because without another solid FPS under their belt, would Microsoft want them for their self-dubbed "mature console"?  This is kinda like the "how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie-Pop?"  The world may never know...(Please don't say "oh, 216, I counted")

That doesn't make any sense.  There's been plenty of Bond games - there can't be a true follow-up to GoldenEye unless Rare makes it.  Otherwise, it's just another bond game that's similar to it.

EA sucks at shooters. Period. Done. They suck.

Let's not be too harsh here.  Agent under Fire was a poorly developed game.  However, Nightfire was a much better game and definitely higher than your average FPS.

Incorrect. Eurocom created Nightfire, EA merely published.

Not true. A sequel would entail a continuation of the plotline. The Bond movies are all considered sequels to the last, yet the lead actor, writer, and director often change.

Oooh, right.  My mistake.  Silly me.  Wait...could it be that he said EA makes poor shooters?  Did I respond to his question.  EA is a publishing house when it comes to FPSs.  I am well aware that Eurocom programmed and developed Nightfire.  But would a huge publishing house like EA really let a game created by a developing house (that they are paying, mind you) just pass by with the "EA seal of approval" without checking it and clearing it?  I don't think so, no.  EA may not develop a game, but a publisher does just what its name suggests, they pay for the publishing costs.  So, theoretically, the developing house is "being paid for" by EA to do their work.  In fact, I did not even mention EA developing or programming a game in that post.
So, I guess I should apologize if I mislead anyone, EA did not develop Nightfire.  I'm sorry for any misconceptions that I may have started.

There will never be a true Goldeneye. Rare lost so much development team over the years. Some quit, some created other teams, some just lost their talent. I have a good feeling that Perfect Dark Zero for Xbox won't be made by just Rare, but Microsoft also. Rare doesn't have as much talent as they used to, a good reason of why Nintendo didn't purchuse them in the long run.

"Not true. A sequel would entail a continuation of the plotline. The Bond movies are all considered sequels to the last, yet the lead actor, writer, and director often change."

Also, the plot never picks up where the last left off. Bond girls are always in only one film and they never make mention to old Bond villains. It's kinda of like the deal with FFX-2: each new Final Fantasy game is an entirely new story with new characters and does not carry on from the last game. However, Final Fantasy X-2 is an actual sequel to Final Fantasy X, picking up where the it left off and involving the same character and world. I'm guessing that's what they mean by a "true" sequel to Goldeneye, a continuation of the Goldeneye plot rather than a whole new Bond mission.

Hehe- I just realise, if you sound out the letters of OPM, it sounds like opium.

ok, perfect dark even though it wasnt a bond game, it was still the TRUE  sequal to goldeneye! it had the same play machanics only a lil more advanced and with better graphics! hell, the game even had ogoldeneye guns in the game! so i dont care what people say, perfect dark was the TRUE sequal, everything else EA made was a copy!

Bond would be 73.
