This occurred to me as I trawled through the endless amounts of negative comments about ConViction.
Reading some of those opinions reminded me of my attitude when I heard that the Bond franchise was to be 'rebooted'. They were going to take away the gadgets, and car chases, and explosions, and basically all the things I thought I loved about Bond. They were going to strip all this away to let us see the real Bond. I was really cynical about the whole thing. I thought it wasn't broke, don't try to fix it. Now I'm not sure who has seen Casino Royale here, but its undoubtedly one of the best Bond films made. I freely admit that I was wrong. More than that, I also like it more than the old style Bond films. Looking back, they're fun, but horribly repetetive, and don't exactly do much in the way of character development. Seeing Casino Royale, I realised that this was a better way, even if there was no way I could conceive of it before. I'm hoping that this will be the case with SC:C. Though it is hard to envisage how it will be a SC game in the classic sense, I hope that when it is released I will play it and find it as fresh and exciting as I found Casino Royale, even though I thought I just wanted another Goldeneye. ----------------------------- Waterfowl in Conviction Means I Won't Buy... |

Great friggin post bro. I felt the same way about Bond before it came out. Now its my favorite movie! I also think this is a good analogy for the Conviction situation. I have faith that it will be a great game, and im sure Montreal wont disappoint.

I havent played a Bond game since on the Nintendo Ultra 64, Goldeneye 007. I havent watched any of the movies.

There you gave a good example for how a big change doesn't have to be a bad change...

You have just pwnd all the Anti-SCC guys.

Well, I disagree. The movie was okay, but if this had been the original concept, I for one would never have been interested in any sequels. Some on this forum would probably say that the Bond-series should have "rebooted" already after 4 movies, but alas: the series went on in the same track for 20 movies without loosing its popular appeal. People are obviously not bored so easily as some seem to think. |

I for one have watched only the very recent Bond fims. Probably I would have been bored if I had been watching since the very first.

I'm a big Bond fan and have seen them all at least twice, a lot more for my favourites, but after Casino Royale, I'm not sure I could go back to the old style of Bond film.
That scene where he finds Vesper Lynd in the shower, in a state of shock after seeing him kill the man working for Steven Obanno, and then he holds her, and sucks her fingers. Its such a tender scene, so brilliantly understated. I don't think I could go back to the old style now and not have any of that stuff. ----------------------------- Waterfowl in Conviction Means I Won't Buy... |

Says the guy who scolds people for judging a game without playing it. It's a joke! When you look at me like that, it's a joke. |

I think I know me a bit more that you do. I am pretty sure I would have gotten bored if I watched 20 movies of the same concept. You probably wouldn't, but everyone is not like you. But I shouldn't actually be replying to your posts cause from what I have seen so far you're arguments lack logic. Cause firstly I want to know what was wrong with my previous statement that made you type this completely stupid post. |

Hey! hey! Please let's not have this turn into another fight! Don't rise to it, aniket.

So... you can tell without having seen a movie that you wouldn't like it if the premise has been used before? Have a look around. There are very few original movies these days. Most premises are being recycled. People don't watch James Bond because it's a cool new idea with an interesting premise. They watch it because they know from past movies that they can have good mixtures of plot, action and humour (with the exception of plot in some of the more recent movies). I'm not even going to bother pointing out that people can make an opinion based on what they've seen just as easily as you can make an opinion on knowing that they are all similar ideas. It's a joke! When you look at me like that, it's a joke. |

No, but with 20 movies, I would say enough people are like that to make a business out of it, right? So why doesn't the same apply to SC? |

Firstly, I did use the word "Probably", look carefully. Secondly, Golden Eye was the first James Bond movie I had watched and that was the only one which was memorable to me. I watched Tomorrow never dies, World is not enough, Die another day after that but none of them were memorable. They were all forgettable because I had already seen something very similar earlier. Casino Royale was different and it was still outstanding because of the exact reasons the OP had pointed out. Thirdly, I am a retard cause I bothered to reply to your post.

The movies you mentioned in your previous post were the weaker of the James Bond movies. They relied to heavily on gadgets and special effects to maintain interest. The reason that I like the new James Bond, and the old ones, is that I like the premise and I like it when they effectively use that premise in a new scenario without having to resort to dodgy plots and ultra-high-tech gadgets.
By the way, everyone thinks you are really cool for saying only retards reply to me. It's heaps respectful and mature, keep it up. It's a joke! When you look at me like that, it's a joke. |

Weaker than the Roger Moore era? Weaker than ...shudder... OHMSS?

I guess you've noticed by now also Bob that aniket is unable to produce any kind of intelligent argument to back up his preconceived notions of the game and of everyone who disagrees with him. It usually ends up in name-calling and insults. Same old same old. |
