One thing... how often do you see thugs playing football in the middle of the street.
How often do u see people go on a car jacking , have a mass gun shoot out, hop in a porsche ,go get it spray painted and have no cops looking for you ?
It a videogame DUH !
Yes i think EA are whores.EA is a Ok publisher, but come on how many bonds have they made and havent even touched goldeneye? 3 ? 4? They are no sega or nintendo that for sure. Why do u think they gave up on the FPS bond? THey could never duplicate the feel or success of the bond 64 version. Kinda sad really consideirng how old bond is getting and still cant be done right by EA.
I kinda thought your EA interview really sucked.Pretty weak in my opinion.
That's cause it was barely an interview, it was more of a 20-minute plug for EA. Wasn't the show's fault, it was the guest's. But c'mon, he's just an on-campus rep, did anyone think he'd be giving us any big secrets?
He was just a campus rep. We knew he didn't really know that much about the inner workings of EA and that stuff, but that's ok, because he does have connections in the videogaming world. He was able to come on to the program and promote Everything or Nothing (which really is pretty sweet, based on the demo), and that's what he did. We didn't want to play hardball with him because he just didn't know the answers to some of that stuff if we did. I think the interview went pretty well and he had a lot of fun doing it too.
so, in essence, what you are saying is that they should give up on making any game in hopes of it being better? They should look back and say "wow, goldeneye was the best game ever, we will NEVER get any better than that" ... dude, if they did that we still wouldn't have personal PCs or video game consoles. we'd have the 5 warehouse computers for big businesses, and no progression of technology. That is the same reason monopolistic business tactics are illegal. Why improve if there is no reason to? Seriously ... get a brain, then come back and make a valid point.
I think he was saying that EA tried multiple times to make a Bond FPS that would live up to Goldeneye and failed each time. As a video game company, when you try to do something over and over again and fail each time, it's just not feasible to keep on pluggin'; you gotta move on to something else. And from what I've heard so far, EoN sounds pretty damn good, better than their previous Bond offerings. In this way, it was pretty smart for EA to give up on the FPS Bond and move on; they were able to make a better game because of it.
