Gaming News - May 2002
Redwood City, CA (May 9, 2002) - EA today announced a new James
Bond game that will take players to a variety of world locations. James
Bond 007: NightFire will be available on multiple platforms, including
PlayStation 2, GameCube, Xbox, and the PC.
From EA:
NightFire will feature an original single player storyline - written
exclusively for the game and borrowing from the rich 007-legacy that spans 40
years. As Bond, players will operate in the snow capped Austrian Alps and the
far reaches of outer space as well as underwater in the depths of the South
Pacific to defeat the evil criminal mastermind Rafael Drake, the popular head of
a supposedly benign environmental organization who secretly is bent on world
domination.
NightFire will offer a deep and rich gameplay experience that epitomizes the
Bond universe. The game is primarily seen through a fast-paced, first person
perspective. The camera will switch to a dynamic third person perspective for
particular interactive game mechanics or to show off heroic Bond moments.
NightFire will feature a large variety of missions filled with furious action
and stealth, gorgeous women exotic locales, and sophisticated spy-craft gadgetry
that Bond fans expect. The console versions will offer action packed driving
experiences with a host of exotic vehicles to bring the best Bond-like stunts to
life.
NightFire features more than 10 exotic locations from around the globe and
outer space. Each of the mission levels will offer enormous, highly detailed 3D
environments that can only be experienced through the eyes of Bond. Level
designs challenge players to determine when to blast their way through using
high tech weaponry, keenly employ spy-craft tricks and upgradeable gadgets, or
stealthily maneuver their way as they accomplish mission objectives and strive
for the maximum agent ratings. NightFire will also offer an all-star cast of
villains and allies, both new and familiar to the Bond universe.
Each of the platforms will offer unique features catering to that platform's
audience. For example, the console versions will feature exclusive driving
levels - developed by the award winning team behind the Need For Speed racing
games - that feature an array of 007-inspired exotic vehicles, including the
Aston Martin Vanquish(tm), equipped with weapons and gadgets. The PC game will
offer exclusive single player levels for extended excitement and robust
multi-player support.
