It's an exciting project regardless of ones personal feelings towards the gameplay, and the fact that we're getting this AND Goldeneye at the same time is just amazing. I can't wait.

Yes, I agree. MGM may be useless with financial matters, but they know how to keep fans on the edge of their seats.

By the way do we have any clue about the requirements for PC?

They shouldn't be worried. The fact that the damn things a Wii exclusive kinda destroys any form of competition.

Indeed. And in terms of gameplay, I expect the same result.

Of course it's going to be - it looks great ... except to the CALL OF DUTY fanbase, who seem to hate it. Mind you, it's mostly the hardcore gamers (the ones who pride themselves on their skill) who are saying it. CALL OF DUTY seems to be the new COUNTER-STRIKE.

Second part of the interview posted, some new locales mentioned: http://www.computera...e.php?id=259735

Siberia and Burma.

[Iroquois]

First off, that is a very good interview, they seem to be going in exactly the direction I want them to in this game.

Secondly, I picked up a gaming mag in the supermarket today as it had a spread on Blood Stone, Play Gamer I think it was called. Apart from the awful article which seemed to only be interested in bashing QOS, it had some extra screens from the game. One was of a level that hasn't been seen as of yet. It basically showed Bond wearing a polo like in CR and QOS and he is disarming a night-visioned soldier like in the title sequence. I would have bought and scanned it if I had a scanner, and I can't find the image online, but if you happen to come across it, it's in there

That's the one

[DamnCoffee]

Oh, it would be interesting to see these screenshots. I hope they get put up soon!

[Matt_13]

So I wanted to hear a bit of what the composer for the game has done in his career, as I had never head of a Richard Jacques. Turns out he's a pretty big deal in the game world, and has often been cited as having very Bondian musical scores throughout his games. Here's his official site http://rjacques.yeah...k/swf/base.html and I have to agree. Check out the music for "Eight Days Trailer." Sounds Arnold esque. I think we're going to get one of the best music scores in a Bond game out of this guy.

A preview for two blood stone missions from Gamescom : http://translate.goo...en&hl=&ie=UTF-8

[Matt_13]

Shame all of the Blood Stone previews are in German. Hopefully IGN got a look at it.

What I have gathered from the German previews:

The two levels shown at Gamescon were Istanbul and Siberia. In Istanbul, Bond enters catacombs in search for a missing scientist where he must stealthily eliminate the opposition or risk a firefight in the narrow corridors. This eventually leads to a car chase where he's attempting to flea the city. Siberia sounds like a straight car chase across a frozen landscape and into an ice cavern in the Aston Martin. All of the previews said that Daniel Craig's character model looks great and moves great, but the rest of the graphics, from the environments to the textures, were far from polished. It sounds like the game hasn't been fully rendered yet. Also, the smart phone will feature prominently as the games main gadget. Definitely sounds like a fun game for us fans. I hope they take the time to properly polish this game, no need to rush it out considering it will be competing directly with COD Black Ops.

New info about bloos stone :http://www.nowgamer....tone-fact-blast

[Matt_13]

So no gadgets in the cars. Makes sense I suppose, though blowing the living hell out of bad guys on the roadways was a huge part of the fun factor in EoN. Still, the reviewer said he was impressed with the shooting mechanics which I was nervous about. Sounds like we're getting a great game.

Yeah, I expect that is the case. I'm sure once the game is finished, it will be touched up graphically.

[sharpshooter]

^ Yeah. And even at this stage they humiliate the Wii's offering.

I'm fine with no gadgets in cars, and only having the PDA while on foot. While not a weapon, it's a strategic tool which determines how you will approach the enemy. Should come in handy for stealth.

new Blood stone article talks more of the Istanbul level and the only gadget in the game and honestly I am getting a bit more excited glad I pre-ordered the game already. Goldeneye I'm still on the fence with.

Could you please translate that incoherent rubbish into English, please? Thanks!

[Matt_13]

That article stated that the game is coming out next year. Anyone else hear anything about that?

[terminus]

Interesting if true - isn't Amazon saying it's due in November?

[Aris007]

Yeah, I also heard that it'll be released in November. I believe it said 3rd of the month.

new article about the multiplayer

[sharpshooter]

New hands on: http://kotaku.com/56...r-better-bonder

The graphics have apparently been touched up, and there is some action scene information. Of note, driving on a frozen river, jumping off a ramp and landing on a train.

[Aris007]

Another train sequence? They had one in QoS!
