Unused
"Beta" Dialogue
Every
GoldenEye game cartridge still contains text for unspoken lines that were written
for the single player missions. Most GoldenEye fans have known about this for
a while, thanks to GameSharks and other cheat devices. Surprisingly, there are
more than a baker's dozen... |
FACILITY A
minor change here... General Ourumov counts down all the way from "Ten"
to "One...".
(The new line is "One... Kill him!") |
A
single "1" also exists in the memory, probably a leftover, indicating
that the count may have been numerical at one time. |
BUNKER
1 A single "hello" string can be found ahead of the dialogue
in the first Bunker, probably a leftover from testing.
|
Alternate/unused
text for Boris.
|
A
few simple lines for Boris that were not used in the finished game...
|
Everything
flows fine without the extra Boris talk, so it was probably deemed unnecessary.
|
STATUE There
are two "null" slots before Janus and Bond's conversation, probably
a couple of placeholders that went unused.
|
In
the GoldenEye movie, the line "Closing time, James. Last call" was spoken
by Alec Trevelyan in the Facility...
The game has two references to the
"Closing time" line, but it's never actually spoken while playing the
game normally. |
TRAIN Some
unused dialogue for James Bond... When Trevelyan challenges bond to make a move,
this line wisely went unused...
Actions speak louder than words.
|
CRADLE Here's
that familiar line from Alec Trevelyan. Taken directly from the GoldenEye movie,
unused by the game, yet strangely showing up as a "cut" line from two
separate missions. The only difference here is a period instead of a hyphen.
|
Trevelyan
has a bunch of snarky remarks for 007 during their final showdown. This one isn't
used in the finished game.
|
EGYPTIAN Voodoo
sorcerer Baron Samedi definitely has a chilling laugh. The text "Baron Samedi:
Ha Ha Ha Ha..." can be found in the game's memory, although the finished
game never uses the line.
Perhaps the line was written first, and they
decided to add a creepy, sinister laugh that eventually replaced the dialogue.
