Vivendi Games division Sierra has revealed Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, a stealth-action game due to debut at E3 next month.
Developed by High Moon Studios and due out next summer, The Bourne Conspiracy will combine all of Jason Bourne's trademark characteristics - including his ingenuity in hand-to-hand combat and fire-fights and his escape and evasion techniques - as witnessed in the big-screen Bourne Identity and Bourne Supremacy films starring Matt Damon.

Although the first screenshots (http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=78475) suggest that High Moon won't be using Damon's face, the game's goals are seemingly indivisible from those of its parent series, making the same promise to delve into Bourne's character and "provide game presentation inspired by the aggressive film-making and frenetic action found in the films".


"High Moon has collaborated closely with Mr Ludlum's estate holders, the guardians of his creative vision, since the day we began to develop the game," says High Moon president Peter Della Penna.
"The goal of that collaboration has been to create a videogame that takes inspiration from known elements within the Bourne universe, elements that have captivated more than a quarter of a billion people around the world, with original story and gameplay that establishes a signature Jason Bourne game experience. Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy is our instalment to the series and is meant to reside on its own within the Bourne entertainment library."


Expect to learn more about what they're up to during E3, which runs from 11th to 13th July.

Though I usually a stickler on a game looking generic, and this game's visuals somewhat come off that way, I really am slowly getting very interested in this game. I like what it's doing and so far everything I've seen of it slowly makes me like it more.

This reminds me of Indigo Prophecy for some reason, and that's a good thing. Especially when A Bourne game has zero chance to developing Indigo Prophecy Syndrome.

Dude, Ultimatum was the best of the three IMO. I'm wanting to try this out but I can't even get time to play GTA let alone download and play this demo. Thankfully this is the last week of school so I can hopefully play next weekend. I'll be happy when I'm done this summer because these last few years have KILLED me.

Okay, I finally got to play the demo, and I dig it. I like the 'anti-button-mashing' random button taps for the cutscenes. I did encounter one glitch, though. While running, my character would attach himself to the wall, then detach himself from the wall, and did so for about ten seconds. But hey, it's a demo for a reason. I do like what I have played thus far.

I'm shocked so many people are liking this... I'll have to download it now, I was't going to bother originally.

I heard on X Play that Matt Damon decided not to be affiliated with this because he didn't like the type of game it was... he wanted it to be like Myst... a point and click adventure game, with puzzles. No, I'm not kidding. That's what they said.

I don't know, I'll believe the one source (who is a company designed to get celebrities to do VO's in games) that simply said Matt Damon just doesn't like video games and voice overs, as he's declined numerous offers to be in other video games, not just this one.

http://kotaku.com/386431/matt-damons-so-not-interested-in-gaming

There it is, he's declined numerous offers over the years and just isn't interested in the field.

Another post on MTV said it wasn't the violence, he was just disinterested with the game as a whole, but that he did want a Myst like game. The quote where he doesn't endorse violence wasn't from Damon himself, the one where he just wasn't interested in the project at all is though.

He probably just thought it was like every other game he's seen, and not being interested in the field in the first place, just passed. I'm not some kind of Matt Damon superfan, but I've seen him getting a lot of flack for being against violence, when he's just not into games at all ;)

Yeah, I can't imagine it being a violence issue, especially for this game, since he was in the movie the game is based on. Unless he can't put two and two together.

I can't imagine him, or anyone, doing VO work for a Myst like game, though... did Myst have any voice acting, except in cut scenes? I don't recall any, and it seems to me like voice acting would totally ruin the atmosphere of such a game - it totally ruins the mysterious vibe and spooky factor. If he'd played it (and why else would he say he wanted a game like that?), I'd think he'd realize that.

I couldn't really blame any actor for not wanting to back a movie based game, given that all most of them suck so badly ;) Sounds like this is an exception to the rule.

or he realizes the difference between watching something in a movie and taking on the role of a character that kills people in a game...maybe that is a line he doesn't want to cross...maybe he just doesn't want his likeness used in that form of media with other people controlling him and doing those things....

I've actually never seen any of the movies. I thought the demo was great. Hand-to-hand was fun, but looked weird. The gunplay seemed sluggish, but definitely once you get all the stuff down, it seems like it will be fluid fast and fun. Very cinematic, and still makes you feel "in control".

Sweet game! (After playing the first stage)

Pretty cool... (After playing through the second stage)

*yawn*... (After fighting the 10 minute long boss/dieing three times)

Meh... (After the driving sequence)

I enjoyed the destructable enviroment, the graphics and music. The hand to hand was pretty neat especially the variety of Adrenaline moves you never see the same one twice. And I like the running away stage. Starting had me go, "wow this has some potential" but near the end of the demo I am back to being skeptical.

FriskyTanuki
05-06-2008, 04:45 AM
The demo was quite good, as the game seems a lot like Uncharted with its cinematic feel and similar mix of gunplay and fighting. It's a step below in the gameplay department shooting not feeling as tight, the constant need to press the Y button to see the next checkpoint, too little time to react when you reach a QTE, and the camera switch between fighting and gunplay being a bit jarring when an enemy comes at you around the corner. The fighting's really nice with great "finishers" that change with the scenery, the shooting finishers are nice for when you're overwhelmed with enemies, and the cinematic feel and pacing's nice. I'm definitely looking forward to playing this when it comes out. I may have to check out the movies in the meantime.

MisterHand
05-06-2008, 10:13 AM
I tried the demo last night. I thought it did an excellent job of translating the kinetic energy from the films, and it was great fun to play.

However, the sample missions were very linear -- not unlike a rail shooter -- and the game takes direct control from you (to show cutscenes) much too often. Based on that, I think I'd be interested in the full game -- but probably only as a rental or bargain bin purchase.

regisphilbi0
05-06-2008, 10:54 AM
I thought the demo wasn't good. The game LOOKS cool, but in terms of gameplay it is liking. For me, if I want a 3rd person shooter, I'd rather play Gears of War. And for melee, DMC 4 is rocking my house right now. It tries to be a jack of all trades, and ends up not being good at them.

eswat
05-06-2008, 11:08 AM
Yeah, I really didn't like the demo either. I want to like it, but I just wasn't feeling it with this.

I'm not a fan of context-sensitive minigames that just push you to last checkpoint when you fuck up (ie: Jericho). It would have been cooler if I had to improvise instead, like go through another room if the security grates closed down.

I only played up to a bit of the second level. I really like the fighting bits, but I didn't like the gunplay.

Wasn't this supposed to be based off of the books and not the movie? I think that explains the lack of Matt Damon - everyone just expects Damon to be in it because few people actually read the book. When you hear "Bourne", they think Damon. The actual title of the game is "Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy" - Vivendi got the rights to it from Ludlum's estate, not from Universal.

i was just reading a magazine.. maybe the newest egm? where i though it stated that matt damon said he was done with the bourne series, which is why he didn't want his likeness being used. Then he signed on to do a fourth movie, but the game was too far into development..

Played the demo for a bit and couldn't really get through the whole thing. The fighting just doesn't interest me - it's a chore to get your adrenaline up to a takedown event (which are pretty neat), but the actual hand-to-hand you do feels robotic and at times unfair. I felt that I could never properly block attacks and ended up getting my ass handed to me too many times to be worth completing the demo - I wouldn't have minded so much if your health regenerated during fight sequences, but no dice there.

Nice when a demo comes out that lets me know I'm saving $60 in the future.

I liked the demo alot, however I thought it took WAAAAY to long to defeat enemies on the harder difficulties. It really took you away from the action, in the movies, Bourne never spends 5 minutes blocking on just one guard. He grabs the guys face and slams it into a wall. That is one thing I think they need to adjust.

But wouldn't that defeat the purpose of choosing a harder difficulty?

But it just broke up the pace. It wasn't that I wasn't playing the game well, it was just that there were so many punches that I had to get in on the enemy. If there was some uber quick, but hard way to finish enemies, then I would be all for it.

strdr4
05-11-2008, 12:59 AM
Hand to hand combat is really boring. Block/dodge series of attacks then attack then repeat. I couldn't come across any counterattacks where you can interrupt your enemy in the middle of their assault. It was like a turn base RPG: Your turn, my turn, your turn, my turn. And you can just spam the dodge button so there's no point in timing anything. You can hardly move around so there is no position advantage. It's like a really bad fighting game and the QTE's make it seem like watching a show instead of playing a game.

And does it seem like there's some kind of delay when punching enemies? It seems like Bourne really takes a long time to pull out a punch so I have to mashing the X button 3-4 times just to get him to start punching.

CrimsonPaw

I tried this demo last night and my main bitch about it is that the hand-to-hand is somewhat typical for games. You get a three punch combo then afterwards you're vulnerable for a second. Is this how Bourne fights?? He doesn't just throw three punches then rest, he throws a flury of hits and blocks all strung together. I don't think this game really represents the Bourne character; I think it's an OK representation but the combat is still lacking (especially when fighting the second level boss after he pulls out that fucking knife).

PleasantOne
05-13-2008, 10:35 PM
Ugh, well I was hopeful for this, since I like the movies.

So I fire it up... and find, it has... DUN DUN DUN... quicktime events. I hadn't seen anyone mention those before I tried it. I cannot fully express in words my deep-seated, festering hatred for quicktime events. Surprised byt he first one, failed, restarted, failed again cause I hit the wrong button, restarted, made it, went on my merry way, surprised again, failed, said screw it, shut the game off.

It's not that these things are hard, they're just friggin irritating. I can cope with the fact that I need to restart something because I got my ass kicked to hell, but I do not care to tolerate the fact that I have to restart because I failed to push a randomly selected button in the 1 second of time I was alotted to do so.

Ok, sorry, there ends the quicktime rant. I obviously didn't get very far, so I really can't speak on other aspects of the game, but I wasn't really impressed with the hand to hand. I felt more like I was watching a movie instead of doing anything. Button mash until it says to press B, then you press B, and he does some fancy head smacking move that I have absolutely nothing to do with (aside fromt he pressing of B)... Every fight feels like a cutscene to me. It really failed to capture any of the movie magic for me.

i got around to playing it, started on normal and thats pretty hard. the fighting, camera and shooting all feel a little sloppy to me. i made it past the first level only failing when i didnt hit the quick time buttons fast enough and that only happened like 3 times ( another thing that takes you out of the action is the loading times in between the times you die) so now im playing the second level using the guns, to me the camera is aweful while your using the gun or trying to run with the gun, the camera is to close, i had enemies running right at me from the side that i couldn't see while my gun was out, this happened soooo many times i never finished the level let alone the demo. when i was watching the vids for this game i was so excited now i doubt i'll even rent it. one thing it does right is it makes you feel like you are bourne especially when your running from gun fire and jumping from ledges and what not.

I liked the game because in some way, the combat and QTE reminded me of Shenmue...oh how i wish that series would get completed...:cry:

But it just broke up the pace. It wasn't that I wasn't playing the game well, it was just that there were so many punches that I had to get in on the enemy. If there was some uber quick, but hard way to finish enemies, then I would be all for it.

I feel the same way. The boss on the second level took way too long to beat on hard. Overall though I was surprised that I enjoyed the demo as much as I did.

I really enjoyed the demo and will definitely pick this one up eventually. My only gripe is with the driving... it's awful.

This might probably apply to me, but after playing the demo, I appreciate the movie trilogy a lot more. I suck at the game, even though it's entertaining. It really ruins the intense action I'm used to with Bourne movies.

I know everyone hates this game, but I think Bourne would have been much better if it borrowed the combat system from Enter the Matrix.

That was ultimate bad ass fighting.

Yea, it's buggy and the graphics suck. But I think that combat system would be amazing for a game like Bourne with that next gen make over. Of course enhanced, but I still think it's really awesome, and has some sweet animation. And I could definitely vision Bourne Supremacy with that combat system.

The demo reminds me of the second movie a lot. Choppy quick cuts to make up for sloppy work.

There's 1 on the third level...

the point still stands. "Half the demo" does not contain timed button presses.

The only thing I was disappointed in was when fighting multiple enemies. When fighting one guy Bourne does a cool finishing move using the environment. I fully expected Bourne to throw the first guy into the second guy when there are two of them. Very disappointing.

The demo dropped the game from "maybe buy" to "possibly rent, if I'm bored and there's nothing else." I don't really care one way or another about QTEs, but I did the find combat to be too annoying to bother finishing the demo. I didn't even make it past the Colonel on the third floor (I think?) before loading up a new game.

Ah well, it'll still find love once it gets to the bargain bin, I think.

DAMN you 360!

I was feeling the urge to play some Enter the Matrix and bought it for 2 bucks. Brought it home and it wasn't compatible! :cry:

I know it's shitty 360 gods, but I want to play it!

The demo was enjoyable enough, but this is definitely one of those 'wait until clearance' games. By far the worst part was the driving - it was terrible in it's own right, but having just come off GTA4 made it all the worse.

I agree with whoever mentioned earlier about the on-foot levels being like watching a movie; rather than really controlling Bourne, it's feels more like you're propelling him down a very set path.

I liked the demo but the game seems to not have been received to well. Even tho the I liked the Demo a lot I don't think I should pay full price.

Did not like the demo at all. Way to lego like.

I signed it out from work. It's not a bad game, it's just not worth full price. I'd definitely recommend it as soon as it gets a price drop.

The first level of the demo in the embassy or whatever it was I was digging a lot, even if the combat wasn't very strategic, it still looks really good and feels more visceral than the fighting in other games. But that stupid subway level is just retarded. After I got hit by the train in the middle of a fight I couldn't get out of nor actually even see the train coming, I just stopped. Bargain price or rental, thanks.

I rented this game on Friday and finished it last night. Definitely a great rental, but I wouldn't suggest buying it. The level toward the end where you're in the sniper shootout with Clive Owen is great fun.

One thing I noticed is that the game doesn't get any harder. Fist fighting the first boss you meet is exactly the same as fighting the final boss in the game. The only thing the game does to make it a little tougher is give you a time limit in some sections.

Still, a perfect weekend rental if you're a fan of the movies.

Finished this game yesterday. It was okay, shooting sucks, hand to hand is pretty fun, but short game.

I just finished it and loved it, it is seriously a blast and the boss battles and crazy takedowns are just strait out of the movie. The soundtrack by Paul Oakenfold also kicked booty. The shooting did suck, and they should have just copied gears completely for the controls but they wanted to be different, so its more complicated then it has to be. Overall AWESOME but way way way too short, i would have loved something exactly double the length. Recommended rental BIGTIME, not 60 bucks worthy tho. I do hope they do part 2 and 3.

I rented this, and overall the game is very repetitive, but entertaining. I'm currently pulling my hair out trying to get 1000/1000. Finishing three missions with 90%+ accuracy is going to be the death of me! :bomb:

Definite rental with mostly easy achievements, but with limited replay value, I wouldn't recommend it at $60.
