    I'm not a huge fan of the film but DAD would be amazing to play as a game (I'd miss Brosnan though).

    I honestly don't I'll care what film they select for which actor, as long as they are all games we have yet to play. DAD would be very entertaining: ice chase, perhaps a non-QTE sword fight, PTS hovercraft chase, fight on the airplane at the end. I'd love it.

    Exactly, DAD has so much potential! And I agree about it being a game we haven't played already. The last thing we need is for two of the playable stories to be From Russia with Love or GoldenEye, since we've already done those recently.

    @00Beast, agreed. As great as both films are, I just do not want them in this game whatsoever. If we've had them before, give us something new. DAD is the only new material from Brosnan, SF is the only new material from Craig, OHMSS from Lazenby, and anything from the other actors - in terms of gaming, of course.

    Not correctly, though. That's the important thing.

    True, but they've had a chance.

    Anyway, I think GF will be included because it's so iconic.

    Out of Connery's era, I believe we could expect Goldfinger, Thunderball, or You Only Live Twice. The latter two are chock-full of good action sequences and GF would be expected due to its iconic and legendary status among even casual fans. Out of Moore's era, I'd say either The Spy Who Loved Me or For Your Eyes Only, due to the large amount of action in both of those. In Brosnan's era, like Creasy mentioned, Die Another Day is the only option for new material, though we could get surprised by a remake of Tomorrow Never Dies or The World is not Enough.

    @00Beast, which, I wouldn't mind. It kind of goes against what I was saying - I don't want any more remakes - but we haven't had TWINE or TND for a long time, since the PS1 days, so I wouldn't mind seeing them.

    But, with films being iconic and legendary, I doubt they'll see it that way, and probably go with the films that are easiest for them, without incorporating the best of the best for us die-hard James Bond lovers.

    Characters have been rendered for Goldfinger, Live And Let Die and The Man With The Golden Gun for the last game, so I think we'll be seeing those or at least two of them appear.

    That only leaves another film or two to discover.

    Don't forget A View To A Kill or Diamonds Are Forever, Blofeld and Zorin have Character Renders too. ;)

    They'd need to do a few more for those films but yes, those two films may appear. I wouldn't expect any outside the box choices at all.

    Sorry if you guys have mentioned this before of if it's been announced (haven't had a chance to go through all 15 pages), but did they say if any of the Bond actors are doing the voices?

    Just Daniel Craig, apparently. I heard there was a filler voice for the game, and he should come in to do the voices, but I'm not too sure.

    As much as I would love to play through DAF and AVTAK, sadly, I doubt we'll be seeing those included in Legends, simply because when you stack up what action scenes they could pull from, there just aren'e enough to be able to do anything with. As movies they rock, of course, but as games I think it would be a struggle to find suitable and playable material.

    Okay, right now, we're getting five classic films, and then Skyfall (as free DLC), how about, on, say, three month intervals for a little while, we get other DLC packs (free or otherwise) which have three or four of the other films in them? That way, we get all the films in one game.

    SF is going to be free DLC? Why? I hate when games already announce DLC when the game is months from release. I think they should just have one film per actor, and go along the timeline of the actors appearances, and end the game with a few missions from Skyfall.

    Why is SF DLC? If it's free anyway, why not just put it in the game??? That means if you don't have an internet connection, then you can't play the final few missions of the game.

    I know they probably couldn't do this, but I'd have one film per actor, with the actors giving voices, in 3rd person. You can choose which actor for the campaign too (wouldn't make much sense if he changed every level).

    Connery: YOLT (translates best into a game).
    Lasenby: OHMSS.
    Moore: TSWLM
    Dalton: I prefer LTK but TLD would be funner to play through.
    Brosnan: DAD.
    Craig: SF.

    That's how I would've done things.

    @thelivingroyale: If the game makers are going for a "one-movie-for-each-actor" approach, then I think you've got it nailed, except for possibly YOLT for Connery, and the only reason for that being there are possibilities of GF and TB as well, and more likely GF out of those two. It could be difficult attempting all of the underwater action.

    I get the feeling though speculation leads to the faking of bonds death again in skyfall. why feature two stories based around this? will he be given the ppk in skyfall then does that rule out dr no? i dont know.
    speaking of Quality control from activsion anyone picked up the new spidey game?

    The new screenshots are nice looking, that's something. Four of the next five are almost unlocked, so hopefully we'll get to see them soon. Also another film being revealed, would be nice. In your own time Activision...

    The second classic adventure to feature in the upcoming 007 Legends videogame will be O.H.M.S.S.

    Just saw two screenshots on IGN, one of someone manning a helicopter turret over Piz Gloria and another of someone on a snowmobile chasing after SPECTRE thugs I'm guessing.

    It looks like it will be a lots of action. Typical Activision i'm afraid.

    Well, i've would like some Bondian moments, some stealth missions. I think they really did that part in Bloodstone. But not so much in GE and GE:RE...

    I hope we get some nice cut-scenes when DC delivers lines from OHMSS ;)

    Why is Bond on a snow mobile? I'm guessing that this will be on rails and will be replacing the ski chase 8-|

    Yes, and with a machine gun. And the snow mobile will of course be selfsteering...
