Most people know 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Bond as the globe trotting, p💜istol toting super spy, but one of the IPs owners didn't want 0🃏07 using any guns in the GoldenEye remake for the Wii.
In an interview with the podcast (spotted and t🦄ranscribed by ), former Activision CEO Bobby Kotick reveals some behind-the-scenes secrets about the 2010 GoldenEye 007 game.
"[Barbara Broccoli] didn't really want guns in the game," he says. Broccoli is the co-owner to the film franchise rights for James Bond, and while I love what she's done with the movies, I think keeping guns out of a sequel to one of th🙈e most iconic FPS games of all time would have been a misstep. "GoldenEye is what actually sold the N64," as Kotick notes.
"We made a sequel, and it was a challenging thing to make because Barbara Broccoli did not really want anything that was violence," Kotick says. He goes on to explain that she was wary of including guns and violence because of how much kids loved the spy, but James Bond does a lot of things that ar🎃en't exactly kid-friendly in the films.
It also would have b🅷een tough not to use guns because that's what everyone would be expecting from a James Bond game that utilized the Wii's motion sensors. What's cooler than actually feeling like 007 himself, doing his iconic pose with your Wiimote? Actually, now that I've typed iꦅt out, a lot of things would be cooler, but it's still fun to do.
During the interview, Kotick also says the former EA and Unity CEO was "澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the worst CEO in video games." John Riccitiello did oversee Unity's disastrous plans to charge developers every time someone downloaded a game using the software, and he made comments about getting players to pay to reload in Battlefield. So, he's no saint, but Kotick is maybe the most controversial gaming CEO there is, with a lawsuit brought against Activision Blizzard accusing Kotick of ignoring credible allegations of misconduct within the company.
