I have a feeling that this is Jinx. I think Halle Berry would be too expensive, so they recreated her likness. Let's hope that they get Pike back as Frost, which seems more likey. Since she's reading the new audio book for The Spy Who Loved Me. So she's still working on Bond.

[thecasinoroyale]

Probably like they did for 'GoldenEye: Reloaded' with changed versions of Natalya and Xenia - who knows, we may have some alternate characters in this game but great to hear Toby Stephens and Carey Lowell are signed up to reprise their voice talents for their characters.

Taking away the mass shooting, I don't think we could ask for a well ranged Bond experience in a game with the number of vocal talent Legends has, ranging back to 1969 with Diana Rigg et al from 'OHMSS'.

Let's hope we get some voice talent from 1962 - 1967 from the Connery era for the final film!

[tdalton]

Well, on the plus side, the character model for Carey Lowell looks fantastic. At least the game will decently depict one of my favorite Bond girls, which is the saving grace of this project at this point.

[seawolfnyy]

The inclusion of driving (and the concept art of a weaponized Aston) is the best news I've heard from this project. The environments are looking better as well. The Die Another Day portion looks like it'll be the most fun (as we've been saying for years).

Agreed. DAD certainly looks the most promising of everything released so far. Odd, considering OHMSS is included despite being completely butchered. I still wish they had done The Spy Who Loved Me (one of the best films IMO) instead of Moonraker. It's a damn shame we're getting the crappy Goodhead instead of one of the best Bond girls Anya Amasova.

[Mr Teddy Bear]

What is the problem speicifically with what they've shown of OHMSS compared to say DAD?

[coco1997]

I'd love to see a novelization tie-in for this game to better flesh out the connectivity of the six films being used. I'm guessing the stories will be only vaguely related to each other, unless Feirstein has some up with a really clever way to tie them all together.

[DamnCoffee]

Ohhh no, not Jinx! Hopefully Daniel Craig won't stand for any bad puns and slap her around a bit!

Quote of the year. I spat out my drink reading this. My keyboard is covered in Cola.

[thecasinoroyale]

Apologies Mharkin! Well...she needs a good slap!

I don't think they're going to link these stories together, are they? I assumed it would be, as hinted, flashback memories to Bond's previous assignments set in the Daniel Craig universe taking in the films of the already established timeline... obviously it would take a genius to link Drax, Blofeld, Sanchez and Graves into a big narrative, so flashbacks to earlier missions before 'Skyfall' makes sense.

It's been reported numerous times that Feirstein has tied the six films' plots together somehow. It would be a really cheap gimmick if the way he's done this is by making each level a flashback, but I wouldn't be surprised, to be honest.

I wonder...is there any way that we can contact Bruce for a CBn exclusive interview?

I disagree about OHMSS looking like it's been "butchered"... so far the only thing we've really seen is the area around Piz Gloria and there may be more to the OHMSS section than just the climax of the film. Even if it *is* only the parts of the film that take place at Piz Gloria, the landscape and architecture/exteriors/interiors of the building look pretty accurate. If you consider the addition of vehicles and more powerful weapons to equal a "butchered" videogame adaptation, then I'm guessing you didn't like (the first 2/3 or so of) the FRWL game whatsoever.

EDIT

[seawolfnyy]

No I did not like the FRWL game at all. That game did get completely butchered.

What about GoldenEye 64 ?

[seawolfnyy]

Loved it in 1997. 15 years later, its still good, but not one of my favorite games. I like EON more. Still like it more than anything we have ever gotten from craptivision though (including Call of Duty....hate call of duty)

[PeteNeon]

Wow, this is interesting.

Not really surprising. They couldn't get the license to use Halle Berry's likeness, so they went with something different entirely.

[Matt_13]

Alright so yeah that is Jinx. Guess Frost won't be in this one.

[Double-0-Seven]

It's hard to say. In any event, I'm glad they aren't using Halle Berry's likeness. Having her in one Bond-related thing is enough.

Now, if they only had scrapped Jinx entirely and replaced with her with Frost. They'd just have to change the betrayal aspect a little bit. Then we'd probably have Rosamund Pike reprising her role and no Jinx at all. I suppose I can continue dreaming.

[PeteNeon]

Does anyone find it a bit worrying that we've only seen the game in trailer form? GoldenEye Reloaded was at E3, Comic-Con and Gamescom last year... this year, nothing.

Not particularly. It's, most likely, going to be play exactly like GoldenEye: Reloaded, as it appears to be pretty much the same game with a new coat of paint thrown on top of it.

[S K Y F A L L]

From someone who hasn't been following the thread or 007 Legends, this game looks awesome! Will probably get a new system just for this game.
Classic Bond levels! Correct me if I'm wrong but we haven't gotten 'classic levels' since Goldeneye64, with Aztec and Egyptian. This looks like so much fun.

[Mr Teddy Bear]

Here's an interesting except from the press release. They confirm each movie will get multiple levels.

Set to offer the most diverse Bond gaming experience yet, each 007 Legends mission includes multiple levels featuring re-imagined movie moments that showcase state-of-the-art spy gadgets, an arsenal of weapons and sleek vehicles in exotic locations that best utilize Bond’s quick wits and style to take down notorious villains and their brutal henchmen.

shocker, because activision has never done that....

Not surprising but nice to have the confirmation.

This is really shaping up to be an enjoyable Bond game. I don't expect the game to break new ground and be a masterpiece. I expect it to be a bit of entertainment while playing through some classic Bond movies.

[thecasinoroyale]

That's good to know there will be multiple levels within the missions.

Hope we see the cover-art soon once the final film is revealed....that's always a big seller for me, seeing the cover!

[delfloria]

Who is Felix going to be patterned after?...................................... Strange to see Wright get chewed on by a shark.

[thecasinoroyale]

Maybe it will be an incident mentioned only by name, and we don't see anything actually in the game?

[coco1997]

New (I believe) photo of Drax's office from MR, also featuring Dr. Goodhead:

[seawolfnyy]

Have they confirmed if the game will be canon with the movies? Be strange if it isn't to have Felix eaten and then appear in Bond 24 with prosthetics and no explanation....or all of his appendages intact if it is.
