NightFire Console Differences

Excluding the PC Gearbox and Game Boy Advance games, here's everything I could find that was different between NightFire on the PlayStation 2, GameCube, and Xbox.

Will be updated over time.

NightFire's Hidden Times

Did you know that NightFire has actual time periods for which the mission take place in? Eurocom doesn't fail to surprise when it comes to details.

Each on-foot level (with the exception of Equinox) has a specific time set on Bond's laser watch. The watch will also track your time so taking a long time while also reflect on where the hands on the watch are. It even works in real time so knock yourself out if you've got time.

The Truth About Rook (in Countdown)

But if Bond does reach the Facility.. I’ll be sure to thank him for the makeover he gave me.

If you ever ripped the voice clips from NightFire using PSound, one of the first things you'll hear are voice clips of Rook grunting and Dominique(?) screaming. Right after that is Rook's taunts and his speech for the last cutscene he appears in.
Now if you want to hear the rest of the mission's voice clips, you gotta go very deep into the voice clips.

Mini-Post: Early Power Plant

In a single frame of Chain Reaction's intro, you can find this strange image.


Presumably it's the original design for the power plant you infiltrate. Not much more to report but this is a strange oddity indeed.

For comparison's sake, here's the final design of the power plant.

NightFire's Full Weapon Load Outs

If you happen to be a lucky owner of the PAL version of NightFire, you just might be able to use an Action Replay code that'll allow you to load all the weapons and gadgets available in a map. This includes unused ones too!

NightFire's Unused Mission Analysis

Like most EA James Bond games, NightFire had to drop stuff just to ensure they would have something considered finished by a deadline. NightFire is one that I can at least analyze to tell you what could have been. Everything here has been almost completely scrubbed off the final game so all we have are some broad concepts to go by.

Office Under Watch

In the first mission of this game, Courier, you find a hidden room which appears to be a security room that houses a set of monitors (and a blue-shirt shotgunner.)
