I am really excited for beta 4.1 and i was wondering if there will be any new characters such as Natalya or any other characters from other bond movies such as Scaramanga, Renard, Max Zorin etc...
-
v4.1 (NOTE THIS IS NO LONGER BETA) was originally intended to be a code/minor update. Then we stretched it out and more and more additions were loaded in until now it could very well stand as a new version number.... but we are sticking with the numbering scheme. Anyway, we are NOT adding any characters. We ARE adding/tweaking some third person animations, including a walking anim when aimed.
-
Yet they collected suggestions for characters once, just use the search function to see which characters were suggested. ;-)
-
Sometimes we just can't add what you really want...

It's fine but I just feel I should put the following characters up for consideration in multiplayer.
1. The other bonds
We are talking about Sean, Roger, George, Timothy and Daniel here. I don't know if you guys were aware that officially in the original game we were supposed to play as four bonds. Eventually a similar concept appeared in the game Perfect Dark which some called it a sequel to the legendary GoldenEye.
2. Characters introduced through the Wii remake's multiplayer
A lot more classic bond villains appear for your entertainment just think if they were in this mod.
By the way I too love the show Reboot it was one of my favorite shows growing up.
-
Eventually everybody will make it in. (I hope) Check out VC's cast list: http://forums.goldeneyesource.net/index.php/topic,4067.0.html Also, this is a pretty old thread.

Honestly i think given from the list the new charaters should be:
Bond Classic (The Alpha 2006 Bond in a Tuxedo)
Bond Connery (The White Suit)
Bond Moore (see picture)http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/10/9761/rogermorezd9.png
Bond Dalton (basically he is a new head with the 006 models body)
No Daniel Craig Bond (i havent forgiven him for being in the new Goldeneye Wii or Qantum of Solace)
-
You know, it pretty much annoys me when people slate Daniel Craig. It's like, you expect an actor to throw away the opportunity of a lifetime and a career defining role because they should doubt their own suitability to that role?
Daniel Craig is a good actor, sure he's not Connery, but you have to hand it to MGM they were right to reboot the series and seriously what other current British actor would have suited better? Name one. Jason Statham? Give me a fucking break.
Does anyone seriously think they could carry on the smarm and puns indefinitely? Sure, it's not good to take yourself too seriously, and the comic relief in the old Bond franchise was great but sometimes I actually like to be engrossed in a movie. Remember when Bond dressed up as a clown whilst trying to defuse a nuclear bomb?... yeah...
...Oh did I really type all that? :-X
-
dont get me wrong i thought Daniel Craig was very good in Casino Royale and Casino Royale is one of my favourite bond movies its just that after seeing Qantum of Solace really ruined it for me ( i mean there was no humour- a confusing storyline and a villian who is just a pansy)
i got nothing against DC- i just wished that he would lighten up a bit more- the only reason i dont want him in GE Source is that i want the "Classic All Bonds"- Dalton, Moore, Connerry just like they were in the original N64 Game (i certainly dont want George Lazenby in it)
actually when Bond dressed up a clown i thought he dressed up like Colin Baker's Doctor Who...
i didnt mean anything wrong Mangley :)
-
I'd rather they finish adding characters that were actually in the GoldenEye storyline first... Natalya, Xenia and the Janus version of Alec.
-

Haha I know :P not specifically talking to you there, just talking out loud. Daniel Craig seems to take a lot of of flack just for being the new Bond. I say if he's wrong for it blame the director and the casting people.
I wouldn't cross your fingers for any of the classic bond characters... There's legal reasons why they're unlikely to be made officially. Also there were 64 different playable characters in the original game (counting secret bonus characters) and we do want to make a good portion of them but it's not as simple as in the old days where they just slapped a low res photo over a low poly mesh. Sadly.

The problem isn't Daniel Craig, he's as good a Bond as any. The whole point of MI6 Agent OO7 is that any operative can become "James Bond" if he is skilled enough to fill that role in the organization. The alias and number is eternal, even if the agent himself is not.
The problem is that he is staring in films that aren't Bond films. They read like fan fictions. They take Bond character names, put it in an action movie framework without respecting the humor, style, and over-the-top moments that made Bond work. They tried to "fix" Bond when Bond has been money in the bank for decades. Why? Because they wanted to be "cool" and "modern" and to play by Hollywood's current rules. Bond slid during Brosnan because they got lazy and wrote crap plots. Craig's era has better writing, but they aren't writing Bond, so we audience members are seeing the franchise miss in two different ways in a row.
-
Tbf VC the new films are way more accurate to the real James Bond as written by Ian Flemming than ever before. People are just used to a certain kind of character butchery like weve seen in the first 19 films.
-
With what frequency do you hear people talk about the Bond novels?
Closer to canon would be fine, except that it becomes the same sort of action film fare that Jason Statham has signed his life away to. We have plenty.
-
Actually there is strong evidence that James Bond is a Timelord like Doctor Who
that can regenerate and change his appearence and personality.
there is a website based on this theroy and in a Doctor Who Novel called Bullet Time
James Bond is apparently MI6's Timelord

I like that someone can put so much thought into trying to analyse incontinuity between movie casts.
In Dr. Who it's just a complete cop-out, an excuse to justify the changing actors.
How about we flip it on it's head and try to analyse why Jack Wade from Goldeneye and Brad Whitaker from The Living Daylights are both played by Joe Don Baker? Maybe they were identical twins separated at birth.

It's actually Mitchell (MITCHELL!), and both characters are just a cover so Mitchell can get his job done.
-
You can give us some more classic bond villains such as Ernest Stavro Blofeld, Scaramanga, Gold Finger or Dr. No giving us of an interesting character selection.
I also think we should be able to play as some good characters like Q, M or R.
-
We'd love to do as many characters from the Bond Universe as possible, but I think we only have 2 or 3 character artists at the moment, and the GoldenEye cast are our priority before other characters can be considered.
I think we could probably do a Q character model that accurately depicts Desmond Llewelyn, since he is dead and I'm fairly certain personality rights in the UK don't trump non-profit artistic depiction after death. It's something worth looking into.
-
Thank you so much and it sucks that he almost seen the end of the original movies.

No, Mitchell is just a cover for Deputy Sheriff Thomas Jefferson Geronimo III, Texas Lawman.
You think you can take him? Go ahead on, it's your move.

The only thing i would involve Q is a tutorial movie on how to play GES.

Or better yet, have VC.

That would be priceless.

Especially if he used the cinematic techniques Valve used for TF2. Source Filmmaker only works work TF2 though, I think.
Ontopic: A Desmond Llewelyn player model would be pretty amazing, and i'm sure not too difficult to create compared to the other characters that have a fair amount of detail, like Samedi and Ourumov..
