GoldenEye Rogue Agent: Latest Screens

New, larger screens from the EA megasequel.

These latest screens from the anticipated GoldenEye follow-up from EA's Los Angeles studio show that things are looking promising for the Rogue Agent - and not so promising for MI6...

As an aspiring 00 agent dismissed from MI6 for reckless brutality, the player is hired as an enforcer by Auric Goldfinger, the wealthy super-villain with a lust for all things gold. Goldfinger is locked in a ruthless war against his archenemy, the brilliant scientist Dr. No. The prize is control of the world's greatest criminal organization. A brutal encounter with Dr. No costs the player an eye, but Goldfinger's technicians replace it with a gold-hued, synthetic eye, earning the player the name 'GoldenEye'. Players have the ability to customize and upgrade their villain persona and wreak havoc as they make their unrelenting rise through the ranks.

With a radical twist to the Bond franchise that makes the player's goal to rule the world rather than save it, GoldenEye: Rogue Agent is described as the ultimate thrill ride through the 007 underworld. Players will cross paths with such legendary allies and enemies as Oddjob, Scaramanga, Xenia Onatopp, and, of course, Pussy Galore on globe-spanning missions of vengeance and demolition, and travel to famous and original Bond locations from the mountains of Switzerland to the streets of Hong Kong and from Fort Knox to Dr. No's Crab Key lair in the Caribbean.

But that's not all - enemies will react intelligently in combat situations and use the environment to their advantage for intense and unpredictable shootouts. And the game seamlessly integrates single-player, multiplayer split-screen, and online gameplay. The production design comes from Academy Award winning Sir Ken Adam, visionary creator for the look of the Bond film universe.

With this much in the package, Rogue Agent could well be the sequel that Rare's classic GoldenEye deserves. Stay tuned for more.
