Hello hi just a few small corrections: OHMSS is Lazenby's only 007 film (I accidentally typed Dalton's name on screen), James Bond Jr. also came out on SNES which is shown, and I mispronounced Blofeld at one point. I try to iron these things out but I put this vid together on the road so these slipped past, pls forgiv. Cheers :)
My sleep deprived ass desperately need this.
Do Cars on DS and PSP
I was NOT ready for that seamless dialogue at 11:44. I feel like they would've noticed but just said "ah screw it" lol
As a 41 year old Bond fanatic i was close to unsubscribing when i read that.
Just kidding ;)
Your videos of Games nobody talks about, i enjoy greatly.
Sorry for bad English.
“By the way, I didn’t catch your-“
“JAMES BOND”
Why am I laughing so much at this??
"By the way, I didn't catch your-"
"JAMES BOND"
flubbing his most popular line is next-level lmao
If the game didn't pretty much ignore the dying hallucinations framework, that bit you're talking about could have been something neat instead of stupid
i really love how the glitch gave the unintentional impression of "look, you already know whose game is this. let's get on with it already"
11:50 timestamp for this moment. it feels like a parody of james bond
Should have atleast done something original with it, like if your gonna flib it do it right, BLAND, James Bland lol
@@kavinskysmith4094 might as well make it James Blond since it's Daniel Craig
The funny thing about Kiel being credited, is that in Everything or Nothing alongside his likeness he also provided his voice for the various grunts Jaws makes in the game. The guy doesn't say a single word, but he got in the recording booth to grunt into a mic. Legend indeed.
Amazing!
Who woulda thought that _EA_ would be the ones to make the most legendary run of licensed games in history. Those EA Bond games were ALL BANGERS.
EA Lord of the Rings games were all top notch as well, for the most part. Same with their 2000's sports games, EA now is not the same EA as back then.
The best EA Bond game was made by Eurocom as well
@@spvrda
Who ironically did the PS2 version of Quantum of Solace, Goldeneye Wii/Reloaded, and this game.
Nah EA used to be GOD tier back in the day, it turned into the shtiest company on the face of the earth the last decade
@@ChaseMC215no wonder ps2 quantum was the better version
16:08 Is just the Gulag mission from MW2 reskined I'm not even joking. The animation of pulling out your rifle is the exact same LMAO!
Atrocious game. But good video. The duality of man
Agreed... Sooooo when's minimme coming on the pod?
That's basically the basis of your channel but just movies ;)
Bro, i need to hear you and Mason talk about games
Hope that IO interactive James Bond title comes out soon so legends can be phased as the latest bond title .
any news?
@@thisemptyworm4677 Sadly nope, been radio silence since the announcement
@cps1247 as far as I know development had only just started with the announcement that they were making it so probably another year or two off maybe more.
2013 - 2014 STILL haunting to this day (Last Sims, Last main Mario Kart, Last Bond game)
@@RyanArnoldif they goin for the complexity of hitman games (with inprovements) i guess its gonna take way more time. Whats weird to me that an entire console generation went by without a new 007 game 😮
*3:25 George Lazenby. SURELY AS AN AUSSIE YOU SHUD KNOW THAT!!!11!
hah my bad!! i need to stop editing half asleep
Embarrassing
I hope somebody got fired for that blunder
"Lazenby" has to be the single most Australian sounding name ever.
The idea of Daniel Craig’s super serious Bond being in Moonraker of all things is amusing.
This video really highlights why I love your content oh so much. Even when reviewing such a mediocre-at-best game there is a sense of respect for the product as it ended up regardless. No absurd hyperbole, no cursing out the developers like they shoved you in a locker and an honestly charming amount of praise and slack given to the game where it matters.
I adore this, thank you!
This is one of the best videos covering 007 Legends. Many videos go "Game bad, they choose the worst bond films for it haha" But you went more in-depth on each of those films, why they are unique, and why the game fails in capitalizing on their uniqueness. I'm not the hugest Bond fan, but now I wanna watch Goldfinger, Moonraker, and rewatch Die Another Day where the last time I did, I was a child and I remember it being WEIRD. I'm glad I sat through this while eating a pack of Sour Gummi Bears. That helped too, lol.
I played 007 Legends on WiiU back when it came out and funniest thing ever in any game was when after shooting what felt like 1000 bad guys in Licence To Kill, I went around trying to find the optional objectives and one of the corpses leaning against the wall had Daniel Craig's face model. I laughed my ass off wondering did the game glitch when I died previously or was there some bad guy running around who was secretly Bond's clone
Hitman World of Assassination felt more like a modern James Bond game then Acvision's James Bond it's cool IO the studio behind Hitman is making a Bond game.
Ive been saying this for the longest time, a modern Bond game would have to play like Hitman mixed with MGS.
I don't think IO's 007 project is very far along in the development process so far but I am SO excited for it.
@@jmp_frIt was announced a while ago and IO's last game Hitman 3 was released in 2021. They haven't announced any other games so my bet is they have been working on the Bond game for a couple years.
Edit : In 2022 they said the game could be 3 years away. So next year most likely.
that bond io game has been rumored forever, hope it comes out this decade.
You heard it here first folks: minimme had a cameo in Quantum of Solace
You know, the feeling of "playing someone's distant memory of the movies" is unintentionally very fitting in this case, since we are technically doing just that (as irrelevant as the whole "its bond having a flashback while drowning" part may be to the overarching plot).
I vividly remember begging my dad to let me rent this at civic video back when it came out. To my luck I was allowed to rent 007 Blood Stone instead
Pierce Brosnan is my favorite bond just because my first exposure to bond was everything or nothing. I look forward to your coverage.
A little note about the Skyfall DLC not being available anymore in digital stores.
I never had this game on the PS3 as a kid/teenager, despite being a huge Bond nerd.
I probably liked the PS2 007 games and Blood Stone better then all the other titles, that I never mind to have never played it.
Beginning of last year, I started to rebuilt my PS3 collection with all the games I thought of worth buying.
I bought the whole 007 game collection for the PS3, and soon after I started playing the 007 games.
I played them according to release dates, so 007 Legends was last on the list.
Anyway, in mid-2023 I finally booted up this game and started playing. Only to my surprise that I was able to download the Skyfall DLC without hassle. (Never redeemed a code for it, and never redeemed it in the PS store either.)
Maybe Europe, or The Netherlands in particular is lucky to have it still available, or maybe I got somehow lucky. Who knows?!
I tried to look up on multiple platforms for an explanation or similar experiences, but to no success.
Has someone else also experienced this, or is this a "once in a lifetime" luck?
I had similar experience. I bought the game on launch for the PS3 but soon sold it without completing it. I bought it again in 2020 and to my surprise I was able to download the DLC. I’m certain I’d never previously downloaded it.
I always loved in License to Kill how the villain was starting the classic villain monologue and Bond was just like "nah" and lights him on fire. The version here seems so lame
Hearing you talk at the end about how much you wanted to make sure you provided the context to these films and how much the series meant to you, I wanted to let you know that it was really felt. I found this very informative and fascinating. I've only seen maybe 3 or 4 Bond films but watching this and seeing your clips and hearing you talk about the ones I haven't seen makes me want to change that. Like I'm just sitting here remembering my first Theater Bond experience and thinking about maybe asking my dad to dust off his collection and show me some of these I haven't seen yet. You did a great job with this video. I really enjoyed it and maybe this is the push I need to get to know Mr. Bond a little better.
Saw this on my homepage and loudly went “now we’re talking” 😂 that’s how you know he makes good content
(referencing the bit at 24:10) my grandma also played a key role in introducing me to 007 - it's her fave movie series and I remember seeing Goldeneye and Goldfinger at home with her and Skyfall and Spectre in the theater with her. I guess grandma's introducing their grandkids to 007 was more common than I thought.
great videos as always my guy, keep up the good work!
"We spend the rest of the level stealthing and shooting. And by 'stealthing' I mean 'shooting'" is an amazing line 😂
You know what's nuts? the Casino Royale DS port. I love the low-poly Madds Mikkelsen
Goldeneye and Blood Stone got them too, I’ve only played Blood Stone. That has got to be the least talked about version of Goldeneye, even moreso than Rogue Agent.
@@expendableindigo9639 Dang I didn't even know about Goldeneye DS. I'm gonna have to play it haha.
Nightfire remains one of my favourite games of all time. It's gutting that they can't sort the licence rules out to get it on more modern consoles.
Nightfire is sooooo good.
activision's 007 games (except Bloodstone) feel like a cod clone.
they are. qos was made by treyarch
I was brimming with excitement when I saw this was 42 minutes
Cheers
Blow-field? That's not how that's pronounced! :p
Also, the Blofeld model is a deliberate combination of the different actors who'd played him - Donald Pleasance and Telly Savalas in particular. I didn't really spot much Charles Grey in there, thankfully.
OHMSS ends with a bobsled gun battle down the Alps. Replacing that with the same canned QTE punch up with Blofeld on a cable car is just unthinkable.
03:24 On Her Majesty's Secret Service was George Lazenby's only 007 movie,not Dalton,he had Living Daylights and License to Kill.
Just a simple mistake he made. He was probably tired when making the video.
Clearly he’s just content creator and not a true 007 fan
@@le4-677 no no,I like his works,just something I noticed haha.
11:53 I can’t really remember how I reacted to this when the game came out, oddly enough, but I think it’s trying to ride on Craig’s first two films eschewing tropes with the whole “do I look like I give a damn?!” to the martini thing.
3:23 Timothy Dalton? That one was with Lazenby
21:45 I love how Bond's head is clipping into the top of the car. It's just like in the movies.
I bought a WiiU last year and have slowly been picking up games. 007 Legends is one of them because I’m a HUGE Bond fanboy. I’ll actually toss it in tonight and play it for the first time :)
The frame rate is horrible trust me I owned it.
@@ravagingvip3r732it just isnt consistent. fluctuates too much. there are some times where it feels pretty smooth on ps3
Despite its flaws as a Bond game, it still looks like a fun experience regardless.
minimme had a cameo in Quantum of Solace! Crazy, the things you learn from the internet!
3:24 "Timothy Dalton" is a strange way to spell "George Lazenby".
He added an annotation correcting the mistake lol
Quantum of Solace on the 360 generation was a very underrated game. Sure it borrowed a lot from Call of Duty but the switching between first and third party cameras was cool, and the fact the game covered both Casino Royale story and its sequel was great. Sometimes a game doesn't have to be groundbreaking or push the needle to still be a very good game. And while there were lots of COD clones, this was one of the better ones.
Forgot to comment this before, but I love how you can hear in his voice how amused he was by the sponsor segway he had come up with
Seeing the iconic minimmug on-screen just for five seconds made that whole ad segment worth it
great video! Everything or Nothing is my personal favorite bond game, especially trying to complete the co-op campaign with my brothers. (here’s hoping you’ll cover the 2005 From Russia With Love game as well!)
Die Another Day is definitely in the top five Pierce Brosnan films in the series.
Everything or Nothing is film number 4 right?
I absolutely loved the overall Bond franchise context you included and Atari 50 comparison. Really highlighted the game’s missed potential as a cultural artefact.
I was pleasantly surprised by this video. I did not expect it to come with a brief but engaging retrospective about the movies.
I have the same nostalgic spot for Die Another Day, the space laser following bond over the ice lives in my head rent free to this day. So the driving segment in the game with generic avoid-the-artillery-markers mechanic really cuts the wrong way...
I'm bond nerd myself and I love all the videos you make about the series' games.
Btw, the way the plot is framed, with Bond on the verge of death hallucinating/reminiscing, is very similar to Hitman Contracts since the plot is basically that agent 47 is on the verge of death after a mission hoes wrong and starts having flashbacks to previous missions (some of which brand new, others remade from the first hitman game which to my knowledge was not released on console).
And now Io interactive is working on a bond game lmao
I never played the game, but I honestly never knew it even recreated scenes from the older movies until you compared them. I think it was extremely important to note what the movies were like in a general sense, it really helped point out how flawed the game's execution was to me. Great video man.
I was wondering when the last Bond game would come! Wonderful video as always!
Excellent video, as always. Would love to see you cover EA's From Russia with Love on the PS2. Probably one of my favorite Bond games of all time. And they even got Connery!
Great review as always! Hope you get to review From Russia with Love one of these days
First time finding the channel, really enjoy that video as a big JB fan. Will defo check out the other ones. I have never played this game, but apart of me just wants to really check out.
Thank you for being so analytical and informative
32:00 Fun fact: That office chair is actually existing, it's an Interstuhl Silver 191S and the Interstuhl Silver product line is a futuristic designed one, these chairs cost thousands of bucks each.
I've also seen them on TV in some DSDS (German adaption of Pop Idol) seasons the Jury sat in these.
It's amazing how some anniversary releases get screwed up, the date is more than forseeable, I guess the problem is rather to start not to early with the development but also not too late.
The little mini reviews of the featured movies has me really craving full bond movie reviews from you lol
nightfire is awesome!!
I have fond memories from my childhood playing Goldeneye remake on the wii.
I was in the middle of divorcing my wife, but I had to stop what I was doing just to watch this video.
The online multiplayer was really good. It was pretty easy to find a match online for Wii U and XBox for 3 or more years. There are many online multiplayer videos on my channel and other players channels from the community showing what online multiplayer was like. It was similar to online multiplayer in Goldeneye Wii, but unique on its own too.
Man, I remember the car chase in Die Another Day was such a pain for me. Just kept failing and failing for no discernible reason until it eventually worked.
Something I do want to point out though since it was glossed over in this video - the laser room fight scene was against Mr Kil in the movie, not Xiao.
Sounds like you had a similar introduction to Bond as me!
Would love to see you talk about the From Russia with Love game. I adored this game as a kid and thought the multiplayer mode was actually very well constructed. Still play it split-screen every now and then.
Can’t wait for project 007 but IOI need to give us an update!
every minimme upload is an instant click for me I am ALWAYS in the mood
I was really curious about this game and never got around to playing it. Your review is literally the first thing I've ever watched involving this 😂
3:24 “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” is George Lazenby’s only bond film not Dalton. Although Dalton only got 2 and both Lazenby and Dalton are super underrated lol.
It's been 84 years @minimme
Finally a new upload.
Welcome back buddy!
I only picked this up on PS3 a couple of years ago, and streamed it last year, and I was able to download and play the Skyfall level off the PSN Store. Maybe it’s a regional thing, maybe I should go double check on a different account and report back in…
I'll admit to having a soft spot for 007 Racing. The split-screen mode was pretty interesting, since it was in rounds, like a fighting game, so you couldn't pool your weapon pick-ups between wins.
I know it’s an Apple Arcade exclusive and not by any means a major release but you should look into Cypher 007. It has a similar concept to 007 Legends where Bond revisits classic set pieces from the movies but it’s done surprisingly well. As a Bond fan I can’t get enough of it. Looking forward to you covering the Brosnan games. Those were my childhood.
Man, such a cool concept though. Wouldn't it be cool to see a video game take the "007 is a title not a person" theory and make it a narrative?
You could have every bond make an appearance, then after their "canon" appearance it shows their death. You could have it lead to either Craig or a new Bond (or maybe Q?) in the last chapter after finding out that the same villain is behind all of the murders, and you avenges all of the 007s
For anyone interested the Skyfall DLC is still available on the UK PS3 store
Crazy i just picked up the PS3 and Xbox 360 version yesterday with all james bond games i just heard about reloaded and 007 last week.
I preordered this game and remember the confusion of the guy in HMV when I did so. But I think you got some kind of bonus for doing so.
Im pretty sure I remember seeing a preview for quantum of solace at heathrow airport at some point around 2008
I played this as a kid on the wiiu and I loved it lol
Would love to see you take a crack at either Everything or Nothing, the OC Brosnan game in the vein of Blood Stone or the From Russia With Love adaptation. Such a strange Bond movie to adapt.
Ok, i'm a Wii U collector, well, not %100 and i was always curious about this game, and now i think that i will get it, the Gamepad use sounds fun, as i had fun with king of Zombis in Zombi U.
I don't understand why Roger Moore Bond films are among people's least favourite, they were fantastical, larger then life adventures that had good humor, action and with locals and baddies that spark the imagination, Moonraker being among them.
I have weirdly fond memories of this game playing the local co-op with friends. I guess my friend who owned it wasn't allowed the current CoD game so we played this instead. As a result of this I got a copy for myself and played the singleplayer, I remember only a couple things from it that being the temple level from License to Kill being absolute ass and a pain to get through. The other thing was I could never finish Moonraker (yes I got that far) I got stuck on a part where you needed to destroy the poison containers in zero g. I never played the Skyfall levels despite managing to get them on Xbox 360 but my friend who originally had the game said they were bad. He description perfectly matched the gameplay you showed during that section, so it sounds like I didn't miss too much anyway.
Funny, the last two Craig movies (my least favourite movies in the whole official series) give me similar "007 Legends" feeling. Lifeless, not fun at all and feel like a fever dream after grounded and realistic Casino Royale.
However, I like some some sci-fi, surreal and crazy stuff in the Bond media with a proper execution. And the concept of the "Legends" is kinda fun in this way. I love to think that the real James Bond (Connery) was killed in action in 1960's and MI6 extract his memories and personality and put it into another body. Every new guy thinks that he's the one and only James Bond. But sometimes new guys having some surreal flashbacks about the past life (like Craig in "Legends").
Nightfire was awesome! Legend's cover looks like a sad version of Nightfire
I always felt like this was a terrible idea for a video game. Who wants to play six incomplete James Bond games? Especially 6 incomplete Bond games where Daniel Craig's serious vibe screws up the nostalgia of old campy Bond adventures. If you're not going to adapt Skyfall into a game there are two logical options 1 - Do another Blood Stone/Everything or Nothing where you just make up an original Bond adventure. 2 - Do another Goldeneye Wii-style remake of an old Bond movie that commits to re-imagining the plot as if it were a Daniel Craig movie. Tomorrow Never Dies would be my prime candidate for that because those themes got VERY relevant in the years of its release. It would be so easy to update it from "evil newspaper mogul" to "evil social media tech bro."
You should do the from Russia with love game on ps2 next. I remember having fun with that one as a kid
here's fun little bit of trivia for you Toby Stephens has played James bond a bunch of times in audio dramas
Lol I’ll never forget my first time playing Nightfire at a friends house on his gamecube.
Man the COD copy paste 007 games were/are so depressing after growing up with EON and Nightfire’s perfection.
I also have a lot of nostalgia for Die another Day, but i think we can all agree the intro song slapped
I remember getting this game for my birthday and playing the hell out of it. It was frustrating to try doing stealth, but I had my fun with it. The Skyfall missions were probably the biggest let down. All I remember about it is that boss fight against the sniper where you have both but the default pistol & maybe some grenades.
It wasn't the worst thing ever, but he had way too much health for a fight on flat ground with only the pistol.
really good video on this game, but what's interesting about the wii u version beyond the DLC being on the disc, is how, from what I've been told, it's one of the rarest Wii U games...although looking into it, considering I have two copies myself and there seem to be an abundance of listings selling pre-owned versions, either rarity doesn't always correlate with price or those people were liars.
I think think there were only 5000 copies made for Wii U
28:49 The icarus beam doesn't even damage you when you drive into it. No joke.
Wow. more people need to talk about that.
Can't wait to see you play Nightfire and Everything Or Nothing.
i vividly remember the first time i saw License to Kill. My dad showed us most of the Bonds growing up, including the other Dalton film, Living Daylights, but was pretty obstinate that LtK was just bad. cut forward to like 2020, we catch it on TV and he had to correct himself, he didn't remember enjoying it but its really good. If your favorite ones are like OHMSS and Casino Royale, the ones that really shake things up, LtK is worthwhile
Yeah LTK had its fans (e.g. Ebert gave it a positive review at the time), but its reputation in society at large seemed to be stuck at "it sucks" up until the mid-late 2000s.
Night fire PS2 was one of the best bond games ever made hands down. even the split screen multiplayer and bots customizability was WAY ahead of its time!
I remember during the build-up to this game where the developers said the stories will be connected with an overall arch which turned out to be Bond drowning and either remembering or hallucinating the entire game..
I suppose the writing was on the wall when that started
The best thing about the whole dream thing is after Moonraker, it fades to black, then you play a scene BEFORE the gunshot, and the whole dream thing is ignored.
Man I miss Eurocom! They made so many great games! EA James Bond games will ALWAYS be the best!
But 007 Legends was also made by Eurocom.
We do have IO's James Bond game to look forward to. Considering Hitman 3 was basically a James Bond game in disguise, I have high hopes.
You can still grab the Skyfall DLC off PSN…but don’t. You’re better off ending the game with Moonraker.
I love you minimme ❤
The choice of movies to play thru outside of LTK and Skyfall are very much among my least favorite Bond films. Moonraker was literally remade as Nightfire a decade before and already had levels in Goldeneye based off the film...
The Spy Who Loved Me, For Your Eyes Only and Diamonds Are Forever should've been chosen as missions.
Here’s hoping that IOI’s game brings back Bond games.
I’ve played the first little bit of this game, real shame that the apparently best part was so deep into it because I didn’t even bother sticking around long enough to discover it. Maybe when I get around to watching Moonraker I’ll give it a go
