I thought it was fine enough. The second game was more action shooter. The one thing I liked about GoldenEye Reloaded was the Stealth gameplay.

Treyarch made that train wreck Quantum of Solace game and were responsible for several COD games. Eurocom has made two very good Bond games, so I'd say Activision has the right team in place right now. The reason these games will never be as good as they could be is largely due to budgetary issues, and probably some creative red tape we know nothing about. I doubt EON wants their games to have better plots/characters than their movies, so I'm sure measures are in place to keep that from happening.

I'm sure Activision made enough money with COD they could even afford the badget for Skyfall.

Yeah, they are happy to put the minimum resources behind each game because they know it'll sell regardless. Hopefully Blood Stone taught them a thing or two.

I think the Wii U release dates for their upcoming slate are indicative of how important Bond is to them:

November 18th

Call of Duty^®: Black Ops II
Skylanders Giants^™
TRANSFORMERS PRIME^™
Wipeout 3

November 25th

007^™ Legends
Cabela's^® Dangerous Hunts 2013

Not Cabela's! Legends is dead.

Don't know if everybody saw this but the achievement list leaked. More or less the same sort've stuff from Reloaded.

[x007AceOfSpades]

God, I hated the achievements from Reloaded. These however seem like an improvement in my opinion.

Achievements look pretty much the same as reloaded. Time for a new pair of glasses .

As far as Multiplayer goes, yes, but single player is slightly an improvment, but still a little reminiscent.

Putting it mildly...

A 007: Legends FB update, with an exclusive reveal of the opening title sequence...





..and I don't think it's too bad...quite exciting, and very Bond! Also, we get confirmation of the acting cast, sadly no Robert Davi though.

So here's hoping we get that sort of authentic music during the game!

[x007AceOfSpades]

Much better than the opening credits for Blood Stone, I like it alot!

[DamnCoffee]

First thing from 007 Legends I really do love! The Goldfinger theme coming in on the title card. Brilliant!

[PeteNeon]

Quite generic, but nicely produced. It seems a bit off having "Daniel Craig as Bond" at the start if he's not voicing it. I like the 3D logo, better than layering the flat one on it.

[Iceskater101]

I am buying this game no matter what. I don't have it pre-ordered yet but I really want this game. It looks so cool

[Walecs]

I like the fact they used Goldfinger, because I love that song (though they cut my favourite part "Golden words he will put in your ear/but his lies can't disguise what you fear").

For a second I expected to listen to a medley of the movies songs (Goldfinger, OHMSS, Moonraker, LTK, DAD and Skyfall), but then just Goldfinger. Why Goldfinger, of all the themes? Skyfall would have made more sense. And why no lyrics?

[thecasinoroyale]

That's what I thought Walecs, it would be an instrumental medley - still, I suppose they're going to the big Bond theme that everyone will recognise, updated for the modern gamer.

I'm guessing Goldfinger will be the first mission after the titles. Would make sense since it's the oldest of the 6 films in the game.

On a different note, I had a 007:Legends related dream last night. I was in the game (not playing on a controller but actually in the setting as James Bond), walking around a crowded street at night, being briefed by M. Suddenly M says something about watching out for your past and as she walked away Pierce Brosnan spots me and puts a knife on my back, telling me where to walk. He had a very crappy voiceover, some American accent trying to sound Irish. When I tried to jump off a bridge to escape I die and it resets to Brosnan appearing again. I try to fight him and he kills me, another reset. This time I just walk as he told me to and we got to the bridge where I tried to jump off the first time and I woke up. I guess it's a 007 Legends + Codename theory game haha

I believe it goes in order: Goldfinger, OHMSS, Moonraker, Licence To Kill, Die Another Day, Skyfall.

Bond through time! Should be fun and interesting of course.

[Walecs]

^Strange dream.

I hope movies won't be featured in their order. It will be funny to see something different.

[Walecs]

I've just made this medley. I know it's bad, but it should give you an idea of how it should be.

[thecasinoroyale]

Good effort Walecs, something along those lines was what I was expecting.

[PeteNeon]

I thought the order was the one they've used in the trailers: Moonraker, OHMSS, Licence to Kill, Die Another Day, Goldfinger, Skyfall?

[x007AceOfSpades]

I suppose we'll truly find out once it's released, and how the order goes.

[Napoleon Solo]

The Blofeld in 007 Legends looks familiar to fans of a certain comic book spy:

[x007AceOfSpades]

They had to combine the likenesses of Donald Pleasence, Telly Savalas, Charles Gray and Max Von Sydow? They couldn't just go with the likeness Telly Savalas, since he played Blofeld in OHMSS for the OHMSS mission? Instead they went with Someone who looks like a comic book character.

Goddamn you Eurocom.

[Walecs]

So do I.

[seawolfnyy]

They should've used the OHMSS theme instead. Although, I do somewhat like the modern take on Goldfinger. Glad they left out Moonraker, still the worst Bond song by far.

[x007AceOfSpades]

Glad they left out Moonraker, still the worst Bond song by far.

You must be joking?

[thecasinoroyale]

NO way is 'Moonraker' the worst theme song...

[x007AceOfSpades]

I have 'Moonraker' in the top five for my favorite theme songs. That's just blasphemy to say that.

[Walecs]

Glad they left out Moonraker, still the worst Bond song by far.

He never jokes about his work.

I don't like Moonraker theme song either.
