I hope this special edition goes on pre-order soon, I can't wait for it! It'll be odd if they choose a different theme song - perhaps a remix of the original GoldenEye theme?

The new trailer looks good. This game is getting more & more interesting to me.

Well, it's better than just the gunbarrel. Nice. But who the hell cares about the boxart?

[DamnCoffee]

I would if it wasn't so bland.

[British Chap]

Interesting that they modified the Craig image.

This is the original image the box art is based on:

Here is the new image, which almost looks like it was made from scratch but based on the original image:

The image on the right looks a lot more attractive and appealing. I would surely be drawn to that if I saw it. I can't say the same for the final art.

[YouKnowTheName]

Agreed, the one on the right is far better, but they're both excellent. Moody, evocotive and cool, and showing quite little is very inkeeping with the modern Bond films. I'm just glad they didn't go EA and splatter a confused montage of action scenes and girl pics around a face shot of Bond.

Seriously though, who the hell cares about the box art?

have a look here and check Onatopp and Natalya :http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1679586/
They cast a new actors for the role .

[YouKnowTheName]

Yeah, British TV stars (fun fact: Kate Magowan is John Simm's wife. You know, from Dr.Who. Anybody? No?). We already know Natalya has a British accent now, but I can imagine a British Xenia... I guess we'll see soon.

[terminus]

I remember Kirsty Mitchell from her stint in The Royal Today - and Magowan from her various roles. I've not seen anything where we've heard Natalya with a British accent, but I can't see why the two British actresses they've hired couldn't do Russian accents - it's not like Famke Janssen and Izabella Scorupco were Russian, Janssen being Dutch and Scorupco being Polish.

[YouKnowTheName]

The last re-imagining vid. At the end of the game (I presume) where Natalya is shouting "Come on! Jump!" to Bond from the helicopter it sounds unmistakably British. Obviously Xenia is yet to be heard but I can't imagine a Brit Natalya any more than a Brit Xenia. We'll see.

Was the casting director just watching Tuesday when he cast this?

[YouKnowTheName]

Am I the only one who missed this?? I knew the press conference happened and I'd read a article on this, but I had no idea a video of the whole intro and first half of the Dam was online! If anyone else has been as clueless as me, here it is:

Looks utterly brilliant. Graphics way beyond any Wii game I've seen, tight, exciting, COD style action, awesome first person CQC and some really brilliant voice acting. Seriously, I can actually see the relationship between 00's 7 and 6. And the use of lower tones and hushed voices, rarely used in games, gives it a great, stealthy covert feel. This looks good... VERY good.

Although I do hope they don;t use those computer screens to try and tell the whole story, like what completely mangled QOS.

"We're going to be revealing classic characters later on in the campaign..."

Oddjob and Jaws listed amongst the character dossiers on the official site...

Please, please GOD don't tell me they'll be using "classic" villains in story mode! That would uttely destroy any narrative credibility or canonical presence of the entirer game! Like when Jaws first popped up opposite Brosnan in EON, and an already ailing game dropped of the bottom of the cartoon-o-meter and died hoplessly. This is the most promising Bond game in years, more even than Bloodstone, please don't let this homogenised, EA hangover crap rob us of a great succesor to GoldenEye...

Perhaps he was referring to the marketing campaign as opposed to the single player? They seem to be promoting the "8 CLASSIC CHARACTERS!!!!" quite a lot, I wouldn't be surprised if we get a trailer with that same old music in the coming weeks showcasing more of the characters. It does seem a shame though that he mentions 40 playable characters, the majority of them are likely to be just soliders and "men in suits" again.

It's fair enough that they are pushing the MP, it is one of the originals defining characteristics after all and even I, who can never be arsed with MP games had a tonne of fun and great memories with it.

I just hope the "classic" and "nostaligic" elements don't seep into the main game and poison it. Sure, classic out the MP mode, it is after all free of any story or canon and is all about the fun, but if you're going to the effort of writing a serious story for the main game (Bruce Feirsteins godawful track record notwithstanding) don't mix the two up!

As EON proved- never mix your Bond eras. They are all unique and different and loved for thier own merits. Piling them all together is like surgically grafting all the Bond girls into one mass of flesh- it takes away what we loved and makes something messy and foul that is unlikely to cause any erections.

Shockingly good review of the tank level by IGN. http://wii.ign.com/a.../1119861p1.html

Some more impressions of the tank level plus some new screens.

[Matt_13]

Recut Multiplayer trailer with a looks at 2 new maps: Outpost (Siberia) and Docks (definitely QoS Haitian docks). I kind of want to see more on the single player game.

How come I don't recognize a single one of those "iconic" weapons, nor can I guess what they might be?

Also, I'm worried about this new multi-player maps. Moreover, I'm worried about Facility. It looks like the map takes place in the room where you plant the mines. They wouldn't dare name it facility and only have it that room. Especially since QOS had a pretty great facility rip off that used a lot of the same architecture. At least I hope they wouldn't call it "facility" and then it not be anything of facility at all.

I just want the bunker. Man that multi-player level is underrated. For the remake, the only similarities I demand are a room with jail cells and stairs somewhere that lead to a small outdoor portion.

[coco1997]

Are "The Docks" from the Dubai level?

[YouKnowTheName]

The plot thickens... I felt really good about QOS before I played it, so I'm used to sudden dissapointment, but hearing the words "multiple routes through environments" was music to my ears! Hopefully they're not shamefacedly lying again. Also, a mode that gets rid of this stupid regenerating health system modern games are obsessed with! YAY!!

This really sounds like they've got the perfect Bond recipe in game format. Even the tank section sounds like the kind of fun diversion vehicle sections in Bond games have singularly failed to be. And the graphics are really showing that the Wii DOES have a bit more juice under the hood than the Gamecube.

Although, the relfective floor in the kitchen screenshot doesn't reflect the enemies, so clearly the game features vampires.

[K1Bond007]

Activision sent us a new trailer (vignette) featuring some of the villains in the game. Oddly they don't show 006 or Blofeld so..? It's just Jaws, Scaramanga, Oddjob, and Baron Samedi. It's called Part 1 so maybe the others will be in Part 2. Just going to post it here for now.

[DamnCoffee]

Let me guess. Same old Bond theme?

[Matt_13]

Yup.

[YouKnowTheName]

Oddjobs hat looks a bit weak. Like it hits Samedi and he immediately falls asleep.
