Thanks to Dave we have the news of EA's new FRWL website..... Not much to it, but a little animation and the great classic music! You can just leave the window open and listen to the music from the film, for a few minutes at least. I can't wait for the game now!

Is it just coincidence that they're making the official announcement on the same day as the U.S. publication of SilverFin? Of course, Connery doing the voice has already leaked, so I don't think that will be the headline grabber it might have been.

Both relatively different sections of Bond. I'd call it coincidence.

very nice....site gives me goosebumps....EA better not mess this up! I wonder.. since theyre using the "james bond with bongos" cue from the score on the site, I wonder if they'll stick to using the films score in the game (lets hope so!).

Better be good :) Can't imagine it being too much though seeing as E3 is up in a matter of weeks. Thats when you'll probably find out about the PSP game as well as more on this.

[mra]Perhaps the rest of the cast will come along with it. But I guess game programmers sleep in late and they

You want some FRWL news on April 27, 2005?

It will be a great game, and a long-awaited return for many as Sean Connery returns to the role that he dominated.

Okay, so it's not NEWS, but it's something...

I'd say they just didn't have the news or website ready in time. I don't think it was a deliberate dececption. Using the word "lie" sort of implies that. The word is just a little harsh, that's all I'm saying.

Patience is a virtue :)


But check this out. They're taking the engine that they used to create 'Everything or Nothing' and are improving on it. Which I think it GREAT! Because EON was awesome! Also the levels aren't going to specifically be shooting levels, jetpack levels or driving levels.... play Bond like YOU would be Bond is the concept. -- There, I hope that feeds you 'FRWL' fix for the day... :)

At last, there's something to look forward to that's Bond related ( of course besides anything CBn :) ). I don't care is there's been anything misleading or not. It's refreshing to know that EA didn't have to bull-turd us with who might be playing James Bond.

The original and best ( besides Rog ) is back, and is looking pretty poo-poo hot. :)

It's up now. Not as much as I'd hoped, but there's some screens I haven't seen.

A few years ago, this was my the Bond game I dreamed of but thought would never happen. Nice to see that they're doing it right.

Imagine the possibilities! Goldfinger! The Spy Who Loved Me! Diamonds Are Forever! Alas, I think the idea would become stale...not something associated with Bond. It's nice to see the games going in a unique direction (Everything or Nothing is a completely new creation, Rogue Agent takes a controversial anti-hero stance and now FRWL).

Bravo EA.

Welcome to the bast James Bond site on the net North Scorpion!!!. :)

Hey Mate. Imagine the true possibility's. We've now got Sean Connery back as James Bond, then we could see Lazenby, Moore then Dalton. :)

Isn't this a dream come true. :)

Cheers,

if they did a game of on her majesty's secret service i wonder if they would have lazenby do the piz gloria lines where he is impersonating sir hillary bray or if they would get someone to do them for him again like they did with the film with george baker (or whoever they would have voicing sir hillary bray in the game)
