VC's Laboratory 90908: Roll Film

(1/6) > >>

VC:
I've finally found some time to do two really awesome things.  1) Work on programming-related stuff, GES and Beyond, and 2) Watch TV while I code stuff.

While its tendency to consume volume is discouraging, I still have lots of VHS around, and I found a big box of Bond, so I'm going to go through it all and when I see things and get ideas that I think might be useful in Goldeneye Source, I'll jot them down here.  This is a weblog after all, so I can blabber about meaningless things freely, and it's very possible that even if I have a stupid observation, someone else might expand upon it.  After all, Live and Let Die exists only because one night Xanatos said we ought to do something related to the Egyptian/Baron Samedi mission and I said "OHH, I KNOW!"

I wonder which Bond film I should start with...

ThePlumb3r:
How about Goldeneye?
Definately since this game is based off the game that is based on that film, which is inspired from the Jamaican estate.

VC:
Goldeneye

Wow, a two-blade razor!?  Holy shit, Gillette Sensor Excel must truly be a whole new world of shaving!  I can understand their advertising lame movies like Twister on the tape, but a razor?  Is shaving a Bond Move?  Now pay close attention, James, this razor contains a secret storage container inside the handle. Normally filled with a small amount of shaving creame, it can be emptied and used to store microfiche. Buh-duh-bahdaah!

This blood effect is what we should use.  There is some dev fuddling about doing some silly shiny glossy crap; nah, we should do it just like this intro.

Comparing the film to the new (Beta 4) Facility Backzone is really hot.  Mapping is doing a kick-ass job.

As much as the old Ouromov is awesome because he's been with us since the start, I know we can do so much better now.  However, we still have a zillion important characters to get started on.

Freewheelin' Franklin should add some of the tanks and equipment Bond uses for cover to the neo Runway; it suffers from a lot of no-cover problems.  There's a couple snow mountains but it needs some more variety.

We need Music to come up with something based on the Bond/Xenia carchase scene.  I like the cheesy-jazzy DM music, I bet Audix could do something extraordinary with this as a foundation.

Oh noz, spike jamd mah modem! I can't hang up what wil oh yeah, *unplugs phone wire*

Xenia achievement:
Wargasm
Kill three players with one session of uninterrupted KF7 fire.
Yes kids, I just suggested something that requires spamming. Hot damn.

Шяууп Да Wнууп!

Can't wait for Jack Wade to get in the game.  Paired with Valentin, we can create a fat man army to eat their way across the battlefield.

When we get the animations going, we need to give Vally his limp in the run cycle.  That will make him visually distinct from Oddjob and help diminish whining about inability to differentiate the big boneds.

These Petersburg citizens seem to be really good at leaping across the bonnet of approaching vehicles without actually touching the vehicle. It's almost as if they dodge out-of-control Fiats and tanks every day.

Suddenly, two double-0 agents can't hit shit.  Granted the KF7 is pretty poor and they were spamming like noobs, but still, double-0 dammit.

James Bond will return in...

JcFerggy:
I read the whole thing, and I like what I see, but I was thinking of KFC once I got to the achievement part. Fuck I'm hungry.

VC:
The Living Daylights

It should be noted that I'm playing these in the order that the tapes are stacked; I didn't give Goldeneye any advantage, and I'm not watching The Living Daylights now because I am soon to code its script once I get Python under my belt.

"You're out of it."  You mean parachuting in while wearing black in a completely white and tan surrounding does not grant actual ninja stealth? I'm blown away.

This guy's damn good at driving down car-width roads while not holding the wheel in a completely blinded vehicle.  I can't skip a song on my MP3 player without drifting against a while line.

"I need to use your phone."  Timothy Dalton acquired the token.

Ah yes, the most cumbersome sniper rifle ever designed.  It looks like the gun with the built-in microwave from Beverly Hills Cop 3.

Damn you TF2, all I can think about is how if Helga there hit Bond over the head with that wrench, it'd be a guaranteed crit.

Nerdhawt Moneypenny for the win.  Need modeled nao.  Timothy Dalton has earned achievement Basstronix.

John Rhys Davies as Pushkin, another quality fat man we need to get into the game.  We can replace the flag with a bucket of chicken, ammo will become tacos, and instead of body armor, a platter of ribs.  Kamran Shah would be a good addition, too.  We haven't any middle-eastern characters on the roster.

James Bond will return in...
