“I imagine it is a business decision isn’t it? This name is valuable, let’s use it. I find it hard to picture Activision’s top management being excited about the original and wanting to do it justice. In fact, I find it hard to imagine them being excited about any game. It’s my perception that they are trying to be EA, only more so. I think they are doing a fine job at that… I know and like Eurocom. I think they are a good company. I’m confident they have done their very best.”

I know reviving GoldenEye won’t please everyone, but I don’t think Activision asked Eurocom to remake the game only as a result of a business decision. Yesterday, we saw some really encouraging words from Activision’s Julian Widdows about the project, as well as the Wii in general. So I’m sure there are a number of employees at the company who wish to release a high-quality product for the fans.

New Wave Race: Blue Storm code found, features insulting commentary

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in GameCube, Random | 2 Comments

It’s hard to believe that Wave Race: Blue Storm is almost nine years old. It feels like yesterday when the game arrived! Yet even though Blue Storm has been out for a number of years, there is a particular code that seems to have gone unnoticed until very recently, or simply wasn’t publicized much until now. Here’s how you go about entering/using the code:

1) Go to the options menu, and then audio settings
2) Pressing the Z button will change the waveform display at the bottom – tap until the waveform resembles a vertically rising fog
3) Then, press up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, A, X, and Z on the d-pad; an audio cue can be heard if you execute the commands correctly
4) Return to the main menu
5) Begin a race, choose the first character

The code doesn’t really change anything in terms of gameplay, but you will hear some insulting, albeit very humorous commentary while you race. Phrases include:

“You’ve chosen poorly.”
“That turbo’s wasted on you.”
“If you don’t win this race, I’m not gonna love you anymore.”
“Your wins are like diamonds: very rare.”
“You don’t have an inferiority complex. You’re just inferior.”

There are a number of other phrases as well, though you can check out a few of them in action in the video above. I recommend trying the code out yourself!
