Who Mission: Impossible here? After seeing Rogue Nation and going back and watching the first movie, I got a big nostalgia bite for the old N64 game. Gonna swing by the ol' retro game shop on my way home; pretty sure they have it.

Share M:I memories.

>> No.2601521

I didn't know english at the time and tought it was like GoldenEye.

So, yeah, I couldn't do anything with it

>> No.2601527

Well, it wasn't only for N64 like the cover suggests. I remember playing the demo on PS1.

Felt a bit clunky, but I guess the full game was ok once you got a hold of it.

It was Goldeneye light, I guess. Goldeneye where you shoot less things and can't just wreck havoc if you fail the mission.

Why is noted control freak Tom Cruise hesitant to trust his image and likeness to something he has absolutely no control over?

Because studio contracts rarely include video game likenesses in the merchandising agreements. They would have had to draw up a separate contract, have attorneys involved, pay a huge fee -- all too much for a game publisher to remain profitable on a single title. Bond is a bigger franchise, I'd be willing to bet there's all sorts of likeness licensing clauses that are in that contract when actors sign up to represent that character.

>> No.2602416

>>2602338
In another dimension somewhere,Cruise lent his face and voice and the game was a slightly bigger production and made shitloads of money.

Meanwhile nobody wanted to play the new James Bond game starring Robin Williams, and Pierce Brosnan's career ended after the disastrous Mrs. Double-Agent Fire.

>> No.2602430

That is exactly why he will never allow it.

In all seriousness, he is likely the most image-conscious actor in all of Hollywood - he has (successfully) sued several publications just for HINTING that he might be gay/bi/curious for tens of million of dollars. It is also suspected that the reason why he is so hardcore into Scientology is because they have evidence of him being gay/bi/curious that they will release should he ever try to leave, which would make those millions of dollars he sued for eligible for forfeiture.

A recent documentary about Scientology produced by one of their former members insinuates that several of their most prominent members are kept in check via this sort of blackmail.

I remember this game had nice variety of gameplay. It was pretty meh though, but had a good level of challenge to it. When you got an objective done it was also satisfying as fuck. Sometimes it was also a bit archaic and you didn't know what you actually had to do to get the objective done, so when the cutscene or whatever would trigger confirming that you did it it would feel good, kek.

Game was seriously addictive but I literally did one playthrough of it and never looked at it again in my entire life.

My cousin got me into the game. Its lick a much much slower paced goldeneye with pretty good level variety, and some of the levels really made you think. Like that level where you have to take a empty gun to make the guy open a door for you because he thinks its loaded. It made for a great rental, and a solid purchase so long as you don't spend more than $10

Played the shit out of this game with a friend when I was a kid. It's one of those games you can't stop playing for some reason, even though you know it's not that great. "In Cold Blood" is another example.

I especially enjoyed the snow levels in M:I, felt a bit like MGS :)

Sure, it's 2015 and there's nothing wrong with being gay, but we still live in a society where people suffer embarrassment or worse for it. If he isn't gay, then they're spreading false information about him. If he is gay but would rather not come out, then they're prying into his personal life. He was right to sue their ass into atomic dust.

It's defamation of character if it's printed or communicated in the media, it can easily destroy a person's livelihood and ability to conduct business. Tabloids and sites like TMZ are successfully sued for libel all the time.
