Activision game fuses together what gamers love with the cinematic elements of Bond

Tons of new footage shows off how 007 keeps his cool in the heat of battle.

Apparently the train sequence in Casino Royale was orginally an action sequence.

I love the pouring rain in the levels. Rain in Bond is a rare thing. It looks brilliant and it's dramatic, there should be more of it. Craig in the Miami black jacket - fantastic. Totally gave that guy a beating, the takedowns are very much like Craig. This train scene, I like it. A nice hint to GoldenEye 007, and I see Bond uses a shotgun in there.

And I also add, it is nice to see this guy speak with so much enthusiasm about the game. They must know they have a good one on their hands.

I cannot wait to play this game. It looks fantastic.

One thing I have a problem with is, Arlington Beech was the guy Bond was sent to replace in the Casino, not Sandy Bliss, which was Bonds alias in Madagascar.

Yes, I observed this as well. Oh well. Apparently you have to hunt him and his rogue men down, too.

Omigosh!

This game looks sweet. Much better than I was anticipating.


Also... the music sounds very official. Could it be that it have been taken from the movie directly. Anyway, it sound sweet and the game looks cool.


Blonde Bond approves


But also is kinda upset that he wont get to play it until 11th day of next month. He's also kinda okay with that, since now he gets to see the movie before the game. He, also, likes to talk in 3rd person. What a weird chap that Blonde Bond is.

Ah, I've been looking forward to this game since the beginning. Possibly more than the film itself. A few minor doubts initially, but fully behind it. I'm glad you're officially on the bandwagon now, though.

The Bliss/Beech thing is fine. In the film, Bond poses as Beech, Beech being a replacement for Bliss. nothing has been changed. Bond says he is "Arlington Beech, professional gambler" to Vesper, but Le Chiffre asks him "You must be Mr. Blisses (?) replacement Mr. Beech. Or is it Bond, I'm a little confused?"

Nice to see some elaboration on what the mysterious scene cut from the film was. I was worried it would be a shoehorned in action scene, like those found in FRWL, that would hurt the games credibility. I'm a little concerned that they just made him a drug dealer and gave him a bunch of cannon fodder henchmen, but I'll give it a shot.

Otherwise, loving those rain effects and takedown animations! And that big shotgun looks killer (in every possible way). Less than a month to go!

Yes, I'm all arms in the waggie. But Alpha Protocol is still my most anticipated spy game in the very near future.


What I don't approve, is that you, my lad, are possibly awaiting this game more than the movie. Blasphemy!

Cant wait.

To be fair, This game is as exciting as the movie, it's the first Bond game in, what?.... 3 years. I wanna see Activisions take on it.

I too was pleased with the music in this preview video.

The music was good. Had sort of a Connery era hint to it. Young sounded really excited about the game & the things they did with it. Seems like that type of enthusiasm has been missing for a long time on the world of Bond gaming. Glad to see it's back.
