I just wanna put this out here: originally, I wanted to say something along the lines of "ACAH's biggest sin is more that it was a massive deviation from the commonly accepted Ace Combat formula while GERA's is more that it is extremely barebones compared to what a 007 game can/usually offers", and I still stand by that statement, but honestly I don't have a ground to stand on since I'm nowhere as familiar to any of the James Bond games compared to AC. I _do_ know what a James Bond game _looks_ like, and what makes them different to any other FPS games on a surface level, but I don't have a hands-on experience of them and what makes them click.

Halo 3's "Warthog Run" comes to mind. Music/sound might be the most important part of a game's identity to me - Done well, it STICKS in my brain for years, and I associate it with specific memories. Makes me wanna cry when audio isn't used to its full potential.

Incredible video. As someone who has worked in the entertainment industry, when my friends are complaining about video games, how bad they are, how they were rushed, how they didn’t live up to the hype, it’s always difficult for me to articulate how this type of stuff happens. This video needs to be watched by everyone in the industry currently as well as people who are enjoying the games/the consumer. Yes, people do pay lip service to the idea that it’s not the developer‘s fault it’s the publisher, but still there is this undertone of entitlement and anger that makes its way to the people on the ground floor who are creating these games. Imagine that you spend years working overtime dealing with crunch, to then have the money people Force you to release a subpar product. Not only did you see your creation get tarnished but now you get to sit by and watch everybody trash on your work. The talent behind this game is undeniable. And there’s no way that it was the intention of the development team to release a game that people would not enjoy, much less live up to its namesake. This video capture is the fundamental problem with the gaming industry currently.

I agree. I think if someone did a newer version of the game with current tech and built around that on-paper rogue agent-goldfinger vs doctor no, you would have something with some legit punching power that people would absolutely love. Like imagine how much more creative you could be, and furthermore I could definitely see ways you could adjust the gameplay and animations to help give character to the protagonist in game and out of game. Less single slap and taking a human shield to throw, and more cinematic takedowns like doom, character moments to help flesh out the dynamics and personality traits. Not just told “oh…this person frequently resolves matters with brutality.” Have maybe a flashback or prologue mission where we see him going from calm coordinated and skilled stealth and silent take downs straight out of the mi6 playbook to a heightened level of brutality after being shot by dr no, with dirty fighting, savage executions, and taking known gadgets like the laser watch and using them as part of those executions. Burning faces with the laser watch, gouging eyes before snapping their necks, garotting or ruthlessly stabbing with a stealth kill, even just caving in someone’s skull with the butt of your weapon repeatedly, or shooting their kneecaps before headshotting them. Granted what I suggested there would all raise the age rating for certain, but considering you are a bond supervillain, brutality should come with the territory. Just my thoughts. I know I lack the skill and understanding to make something like that, but it would certainly make for something I would be interested in.

The traps they used in the arenas were a great idea that I'd love to see return in the future. And I loved how they recreated so many iconic areas from the film series for those maps too.

Goldeneye: Rogue Agent has always been the very first game that comes to mind for me whenever someone asks "What's a game you like but everyone else hates?" I've always loved its style, the "THUDDATHUDDATHUDDAPEW" of the Commando rifle, the death traps which make the levels themselves have a certain level strategic consideration especially in multiplayer, and yeah, the soundtrack is a bit samey, but I always thought it went pretty hard (to be fair I was already a fan of Paul Oakenfold's music like Ready Steady Go) and I occasionally re-listen to it to this day, many an afternoon was spent in the multiplayer just like the original goldeneye 64 for me. Even despite me agreeing with most of what this video has said about it, I'm not surprised in the slightest there was such talent behind it despite me not knowing until now exactly to what extent of talent was behind it.

Your nightfire video is what got me into your channel, it's good to see you cover the other games I got to love as a kid.

The fall of Turok Evolution was fairly similar, promising, outstanding trailers, talent, passion, only for it to come out a mess needing a year or more of work. That'd be a fun one to cover too.

This was one of the games I considered part of my childhood. Looking back, it was extremely frustrating to play through this Campaign, and even my brother and I weren't too impressed with the split screen multiplayer, as we often split screened PS2 shooters like Nightfire and Battlefront 2. The shooting in and of itself felt pretty good and there was something about the style of the game that just felt kinda cool, which was probably why I kept playing it despite its flaws.

i think the lesson here is one that honestly it has been revealed time and time again to be the case: marketing and execs should have more accountability, and there should be more regulation about their actions

I had a great time playing splitscreen multiplayer with friends in Rogue Agent. One shot one kill on the Golden Gun Fun House was great. But Nightfire and Everything Or Nothing is far better, especially singleplayer.

I remember a friend of mine urging me never to play this, and then explaining what the name Goldeneye meant in the context of this game. I thought it was unfathomably stupid, and really transparently done just to cash in on the name. I never knew how much talent was behind it, or how much promise it once had. Nothing sadder than what could have been.

Great video!

EA was always a trash publisher but back in the 90s and 2000s they had to release good games. Today they have a monopoly on sport games (Madden, FIFA) so they basically can make trash and get away with it. Let me remind you that even back in the 90s evil was a trash company closing down studios and ruining devs. They screwed over Richard Garriot back in the late 80s.

You ranted a game because it is a way too basic shooter inspired from Halo 1. I'm gonna be honest, the Rouge Agent is not a bad game, and I accept if somebody not like it but heavily not if someones says it is a bad game because of its weird "bumped up aim"-system or because it is a repetitive shooter. This game was obviously made to be different, and it's because they wanted make a game for everyone, with nice graphics (It does look good on a CRT), well done maps and encounters which were alright and sometimes unique, with not a big amount of weapon, but to make it more "cool" they added dual wielding, which I think was fun to use. There were special weapons, and I think they were cool, and you found them cool as well. The gameplay wasn't about shooting and also wasn't a hard one, but this game is more like a hack 'n slash as a shooter instead (this explains the actual great ragdoll physics, but sadly bodies last short till they despawn) of a fixed hallway through map shooter, giving you limited amount of ammo in your weapons forcing you to either loot, either switch, either run out from ammo and use your basic pistol as a weapon. The game gives you "super powers" including wall hack, shield, etc. with limited use, as it needed to charge and i think it was cool, and unique idea. The soundtrack was boring, but it actually was not at the same time, and i explain why. The musics you played in were only played per map parts making you hear them a lot less, and were also only made, so you will be tuned to kill enemies, so I think it wasn't that bad for if they only played in map parts, which were they. I actually forgot the executions in the game, but trust me it was cool and satisfying, and through the game you will unlock an ability that can turn of the enemies weapon and can trigger these remotely. The characters and the story, well if not well made, but it isn't actually the main part of the game so it is acceptable. At least we get some cutscenes, even if they aren't the best, trust me, i saw worse than that. Oh and you played the game on easy, which I can tell from the game footage, and it was obviously boring you should try hard or if I remember correctly there was a hardcore mode, the experience will probably change, and probably you will too.

"Oh and you played the game on easy" This is what I get for playing the entire game twice on Hard mode...

@@justagamerhun2228 What clip are you using for reference exactly? If it helps, the footage is a Hard Playthrough on OG Xbox (marked by slightly lower quality, and mostly no auto-aim), and a 360 Backwards Compat playthrough on Normal. In both cases, the game plays the same, Hard mode doesn't add any new gameplay dynamics, it just bumps numbers slightly, and Rogue Agent needs a lot more than that to make its combat model meet the standards of games at the time like Halo.

@@Raycevick I do have the game for PS2, and as soon as I saw the damages i tried it myself. bruh The combat model is not what this game was mainly maid fo, but for be simple, and for everyone, to bump up the sales. I'm did like this game and I still like it, just as Agent Under Fire, this game is underrated, and hated bc of the "GoldenEye" name. If it released with a different name it would been much more liked tho

Behold dog and a beautiful video ahead!

never saw one of your videos before but I'm impressed at your honesty, so many video essays end with the surface level conclusion that their favorite franchise was ruined by "bad management" or "corporate greed" and I'm sure there is an element of truth to that, but admitting that the people were just doing their jobs and you'd probably do the same was a breath of fresh air

Yesss dude, Everything or Nothing was actually my first ever intro to James Bond, I'd never heard of him before my grandma bought me that game. Love it.

Just tweeted you yesterday asking when we'd get a new video. Ask and you deliver. Haha. Thanks!

Nightfire was one of my favorite games growing up! The intro is insanely good

Great work. Now we just need a video on Everything or Nothing.

Ive been waiting so long to see someone else talk about this game

Man this is gotta be the luckiest week ever, we got new vids from Michael, IH and Ray all in the same week.

This and Agent Under Fire were the first games I bought from EB Games. I have countless memories of Agent Under Fire. All I remembered of Rogue Agent is duel wielding, the Xenia fight and the multiplayer map on the Golden Gate bridge. I honestly hoped this video would show that it was better than I remembered and worth playing, but instead... Great video, fantastic work!

What a good way to start my sunday
