Will Daniel Craig say IT in either game?

I'm curious to see if Craig will record THE line for either/both of these games. I wonder if they will stick it in or instead argue that Craig's Bond wouldn't say it.

I would love to hear Craig deliver the line again in different contexts and now we have the chance to potentially hear two new recordings of it. But do you think it will happen?

Right. But that was technically supposed to be the same scene as in the end of Casino Royale.

I'm talking about getting to see a whole new/fresh delivery.

I'm not sure.

The first level has a moment where he could have. Greco shouts out "Who the hell are you?!" - but instead, Bond throws an object and charges forward.

The only reason why they didn't put it in QUNATUM OF SOLACE was because they couldn't find a way for it to work. Rather than shoehorn it in and have it come off as awkward, they decided to leave it out entirely. Not saying it is not going to be a trademark of Craig's Bond.

The line has been shoehorned into the films since 1962 so what's the big deal.

No big deal. But maybe they felt the film worked better without it. How or why is that a problem?

I don't get it why people are sort of obsessed by this line, and the other "shaken not stirred" line. Connery only really said them in about half of his films. Moore never said "shaken not stirred". Since TLD though they've tried to shoehorn them into every film, and when Bond, James Bond was dropped from QoS it created a big hullabaloo

I'm sure we will get it in at least one of the games. The games are so much different than the movies, not just storywise, but execution, design, and the developers are not limited by anything except their minds. Every Bond games I have ever played (with the sole exception of GE:RA) has had the line in it. So, rest assured, the line will be said, and it will return... ;)

Connery is a different story. Connery could get away not saying certain trademark lines simply because he was THAT good and THAT much of an icon. I'd even go as far as saying the fact that Connery was even in the role was more than enough.

As for the line in the game, they'll throw it in somewhere but obviously, it's not going to carry the same weight as if it were to be delivered in a movie.

I hope it's NOT in there. The "classic" elements are carefuly balanced in the Craig films and only used when they have a degree of significance, instead of cramming them in ye olde classic style. I applauded the descision to leave it from QOS and I hope that, when used again, it's as cool as it was coming at the end of CR (by far the coolest that line has been since Sylvia Trench admired Bond's luck.)

I'm sure it'll thoughlessly be crammed in both games somewhere. Blood Stone is trying it's damndest to pretend to be a Bond film, but I was very please when Bond DIDN'T say after Greco gave him the opener (and reacted just how Daniel Craig's Bond would have. The game gets a big point for that IMO.) GoldenEye may have it out of reference to the original movie, but in both game's it's as inevitable as shooting rockets at helicopters...

UPDATE. The boxes for Blood Stone are on store shelves in game, with the usual "pre-order" stickers, and the blurb on the back prominently says (paraphrased):

When top biochemical research falls into enemy hands, only one man can save us: Bond, James Bond.

Something like that anyway, I forget.

Probably, I think if anything is in question it's the gunbarrel, but seeing as how Feirstein wrote it I sincerely doubt it'll be anything out of the ordinary. I just think we're in for a classic Bond adventure.

I was referring to the use of the tag line on the games box.

Of course Bruce "ka-ching!" Fierstein won't try anything new or daring. He'll just lash a bunch of cliches together, collect his paycheck and wait for the next one, the TND approach.

There is no "Bond, James Bond" in bloodstone, no gunbarrel either i think. however, one of the best parts of the pre-credits sequence is when bond and M are talking at the summit and a waitress steps up and asks bond what he wants to drink. but M cuts him off and says "He'll have a Vodka Martini" The first Vodka Martini of the Craig Era!!!
