I have read a few people here and many people upset on Yahoo that Brosnan is being replaced by Craig in the game. The thing people need to realize is that they probably don't have the legal rights to use Brosnan's likeness in the game.

It's also possible that they contacted Brosnan to try and get him involved and he told them to sod off

Looked at the yahoo comments. Wow, is it 2005 in there? Couldn't find one critic of Craig who was able to string a basic sentence together. Sample :

"Daniel Craig will never be a Bond like Pierce Brosan"

Truer words were never spoken

It really does reopen that can of worms, doesn't it? Doesn't help that they seem to hiding Craig in the marketing. Dare I saw he feels like...a substitute?

I just want to say...This looks awful...frankly I'm embarrassed for them for even making this. FAIL.

what do you think looks awful about it?

Fanboys of that era only know Brosnan as Bond, heaven forbid ANYONE replaces him aside from Sir Sean. Poor Dan just can't catch a break can he? The most talented actor we've ever had in that dinner jacket and he doesn't even get the opportunity to enjoy it. I feel bad for him.

In a weird way, this game sort of disses Brosnan and Craig at the same time.

But, again, if the game play is great, guess all this doesn't matter.

[sharpshooter]

I might also just be bitter on account of owning an Xbox instead.

Yeah, I think there's quite a bit of that going on for me, too.

[Bucky]

don't know what i will be playing after i finish super mario galaxy 2 and before this comes out.

Well xbox has got Perfect Dark which is perhaps the most genuine candidate for GE2, the facility map is in there somewhere I believe, although no Bond avatar of course.

The introduction to this trailer is quite laughable. Are FPS players really that stupid?

Feels like they're acting out a conversation that might have happened in 2002.

2010. You would think they implement better graphics. Shame.

It's for Nintendo Wii. I don't think good graphics exist on that.

I thought the Wii had a (very) few titles with pretty good graphics. Maybe they could have done more for this version of Goldeneye......

[Nicolas Suszczyk]

And rather than sniping the soldiers at the end of the tunnel, you now jump in a truck with 006. This truck sequence adds a new action-packed sequence to the level, where 006 drives the truck and you madly kill soldiers along the way.

Not good. . I want to met Alec at the Facility. Mmm, so that character driving the truck is 006?! He doesn't look like Sean Bean at all!

Next up, a soldier jumps onto the side of the truck and opens the door to try and pull you out, allowing you to kick him out and watch him come to a brutal stop as his body smashes into a passing concrete wall.

Good memories of the Quantum of Solace game. The train mission.
Good.

But I don't like this being a "modernized" version of the original, dammit! I want a Daniel Craig remake of the original. With better graphics, but the same missions and some new missions, but based in 1995 and with the Cold War setting!

IGN describes the similarities and differences between the two dam levels. Sounds very promising. http://wii.ign.com/a.../1099498p1.html

Game Informer really liked it, says the graphics are great and it's hard to believe it's a Wii game.

[Mr Teddy Bear]

The Wii can do good graphics (see Monster Hunter Tri, Metroid Prime 3 and Super Mario Galaxy 2) but this new GoldenEye seems to be a bit lacking in that department. Doesn't bother me too much as I managed with GoldenEye 64 for over a decade.

I'm more concerned that it is going to be Call of Duty: Bond Edition, which by all accounts it looks to be. I'm sure it'll still be fun, but it won't be the GoldenEye 64 we all know and love.

[Jose]

This, along with the new Donkey Kong and Zelda games, has really got me thinking about getting a Wii. Hmm.

I'm pretty open to the idea of Craig's Bond in GoldenEye (not trying to bash Brosnan) because of the current situation regarding Bond 23, and possibly the future of the series. Craig in this GoldenEye game will probably be the closest thing we get to a third Craig film. At least until the current mess is sorted out which doesn't offer much hope right now.

I loved Goldeneye and I love Daniel Craig so I'd love them combined

David G. Wilson on the new Goldeneye:

http://www.officialn...le.php?id=18163

There are massive expectations which are both worrying and exciting for us, and we know that this game has to be as innovative and ground-breaking as that first title was.

[Matt_13]

It certainly sounds like this won't just be your run of the mill shooter. It seems like some serious thought has been put into this, as the description of the dam level reveals. The fact that stealth will play a larger role than in, say, the QoS game is extremely reassuring. I'm still very much interested in Bloodstone, however, perhaps moreso than Goldeneye. The conflicting reports on the game (whether it is simply a driving sim or a blend of driving and shooting) is intriguing. If we were getting a film as well, we'd be in a golden age right now.

Anybody would transcript me what the hell are they saying? They speak so fast all I could understand was "Shooters of all time", "Set the standards for new videogames", "After 134 years of game innovation a new Goldeneye is coming".

[Gothamite]

GoldenEye 64 was just a little bit too advanced for me when it was released (I was only 8 at the time), so I can't say much in the way of how good or bad the game was, but the idea of replacing a former Bond actor with a current one in one of his established Bond films seems a bit cheap to Brosnan.

I'm sure for those of you who like the game, it'll be nice to play the game again with sharper graphics, but to me that's a really cheap trick.

The worst thing is that Craig was probably contractually obliged to be in this game. How could he possibly be enthusiastic about robbing another Bond actor's performance?

[The Shark]

I'm more concerned about the fact that David Arnold is scoring the game, than anything else.

http://www.goldeneye...reveal/?lang=en

Mea culpa. God have mercy on our souls.

[DamnCoffee]

That's quite interesting.

I don't think Arnold has scored a Bond game. Sean Callery scored Everything or Nothing, and Christopher Lennertz scored Quantum of Solace and the From Russia With Love game. I wonder what Arnold can do with it.

I'm happy.

And I wonder how Brosnan feels about stealing a film meant for Dalton?

I'm pretty confident of Arnold doing a great score for the game... his style matches a video game better than the movies.

You can hear a sample of it there on the website.

That might be right, though why couldn't they go with Eric Serra?

I dunno. Maybe if he starred in Licence to Kill, you could ask him.
