It confused me as well. Maybe it will show up at the end. I wouldn't put it past them.


I have to say, I'm disappointed. Clearly not at the beginning, and if it's not at the end - that's a hell of a branding oversight. And just plain...sucky.

Regarding the gun barrel, I'm neither here nor there. I'm unmoved about it, and see the gameplay as king.

This is being billed as a classic adventure, but the Craig era definition of classic is different to the standard definition. For what it's worth, the dots move across the loading screen. And Bond does the turn and shoot pose in the title sequence.

Oh my god.



Yes please. Take note of Bonds jacket when he runs!

I wonder if the Bond theme is there? I haven't heard any of it. Maybe they couldn't acquire the license to use it? Same with the gunbarrel?

I don't think so. My guess is that it's all by choice.

I think we will get the Bond theme. Probably in the credits, or at one defining moment in the game.

It's definitely in the credits guys, not sure about the rest of the game. The music is great either way.

It probably would be in the credits. I really hate the Bond Credits Theme though, because it's just the same thing. I'd prefer if it were in game, and blended in with the score. Daniel Craig deserves his Bond theme moment.


I wonder if Blood Stone will get DLC. Quantum got some multiplayer maps, but I dunno. I'd love a few side missions or something.

Just stumbled across this...

http://www.made2game...e-dlc-possible/

Elsewhere in the interview, Lewis also refused to be drawn into specifics when it comes to any future DLC for the game, only saying ” [we have] nothing that we can discuss at the moment, but stay tuned for future announcements.”

So it sounds like DLC at least is a distinct possibility.

For gamers in the US, Target is running a Buy 2 get 1 free promotion on videogames this week, so if you were going to get Bloodstone and Goldeneye, go to Target and get a third game free!

BloodStone's ending has a really weird twist, but the end credits do play a new bond theme

Avoiding spoilers as much as possible, Mr. Zukovsky - is there a gunbarrel at any point in the game?

(And if said answer involves the 'twist' to which you are referring, I retract my question ;) ).

I also found that Joss Stone being a male in the end was an odd twist.

I jest of course. :cooltongue:

I seriously can't figure out why they would leave out the gun barrel.

I didn't see a gunbarrel myself. I didn't watch all of the credits though. Still, you'd think it'd come before then.

Please tell me where the barrel is! Mmmm perhaps BloodStone will be Daniel Craig's first "proper" Bond film!

This game looks awesome. I plan on getting this tomorrow but it bothers me that the reviews haven't been posted yet. I'm hoping the multiplayer proves to have longevity. I would be very happy if they included a survival mode much like the one in Uncharted 2.
