umm isnt the point of goldeneye... a REMAKE? therefore you should make it look like brosnan.... thats just my opinion... but a remake is a remake... also..
starting from scratch seems a bit ambitious... i think the players would rather have a finished version than little pieces every once and a while. you were going well with what you had before. i dont see why you needed to start over...
yea that would be great, accept that each individual actor would be capable of coming after us and giving us a CnD so just to steer clear of any more hot water, we chose to have a similar likeness rather than to make the people dead on. also we aren't doing a dead on clone as a remake, theres quiet a few things with levels, and a lot of the art work thats been shifted. i like to use the example of what we are doing as the old VW bug and the new VW beetle, ya you can see its the same styling of the car, but its a totally newly updated version.. theres going to be changes but you'll still love it just the same.
the starting fro scratch thing isn't entirely oh crap we are scraping the whole thing. its that we are carrying things over to the EP2 engine, and clearing out all the cobwebs from the previous build. which yes takes quite a bit of time, but is something that is necessary. so no its not starting over.
hope that helps clear some things up.
