That is what they did, but considering they completely changed Felix, Jinx and Holly in that game it makes you wonder why they chose to go back to the cliche Bald Blofeld with the Eye scar. :-?
who knows....... but what i do know, is that this little discussion is more thought than what into that game.. 8-}
i still can't believe i got suckered out of $59 for that p.o.s ..... i'll excuse myself overspending on certain things of 007, because of my love for James Bond - but i kick myself every time when i think about what i spent for that mess of a game, one that more or less took a dump on the Bond legacy, then slapped us all in the face with it.... in theory, it could've been the best Bond game ever had they actually took time to develop it, and maybe - just maybe secure using the rights to Connery, Moore, Lazenby, Dalton and Brosnan, as well as using their voices - or some pretty damn good impersonators.. but hell, what do i know - i am not a game designer........ but lets save this lamenting for another thread :)>-
We do want to be able to come here, including spoilers, discuss freely, correct? So maybe that is not the correct assumption. If you do not want us discussing spoilers, I do not see how you can control that. People will not post everything with spoiler tags 100% of the time. That is not probable. I do not see why it is unreasonable to include SPOILERS in the thread's title. I actually think that is the most fair option for all. And how is that difficult to do? It does not alter what is in the thread. Please reconsider. You have an excellent production thread here; but I think in fairness to all, the word SPOILERS should be in the title of this thread. And therefore, we also would not need to use spoiler tags.
How can one long-running production thread not have spoilers? It seems impossible and also really unnecessary. Not everyone will use spoiler tags correctly all the time, and look at the last several pages. Of course there is info there that some would consider spoilers. It is simple enough to add that one word in the title of the thread, and I do not understand why you would truly be strongly against doing that. If you are adamant, I respect your opinion of course. But I don't reason through this the way you have been.
If this goes against what you want here - you really do not want spoilers - I think that has fallen off over the course of the last few weeks ... there are things here people would consider as spoilers. But okay, then it will probably take as Timmer suggested, an entirely new thread. If this remains the way you are trying to keep it, I appreciate your efforts ... but then let's get another thread started. That still will not resolve the issue of people reading this thread and considering some things as spoilers (because some people definitely will, even without clicking on links), but it is your thread. I do respect that. If @Timmer wants to start a new one, I hope he does. I am trying to still be supportive of this thread, JWESTBROOK. And I do not mean to sound too harsh. I think you have really done a great job. But I think it is time to have the word "spoilers" in the title and allow free discussion. I think the no spoilers aspect has been eroded already, and seems a very difficult task to stick to (considering the # of readers and posters here) to keep it so that all would consider the things discussed in this particular thread as nonspoilers only.
There could be a modicum of truth in your dream. Months before any real information about Skyfall came out, I dreamt that Bond would spend the early part of the film aimlessly wandering. It really wasn't anything like what we got in the film, but still, there was a modicum of truth there. Maybe your dream means we're in for a Fleming title after all? ;)
Blofeld RUMORS are not spoilers. Where is the factual evidence to back up any of the bullsnot you group have been throwing around for the last 10 pages? There's none of it. The only thing factually confirmed are locations and casting. Something you'll get from the FRONT PAGE of MI6, from the dozens of other Bond 24 threads already in circulation, including the one that has Lea Syedoux's name in the title.
I will also remind everyone that I am of the opinion to NOT be spoiled for Bond 24, and seeing as I am running this thread, it wouldn't make too much sense for me to attempt at keeping it updated if I wish to not be spoiled.
If there is a separate thread for spoilers, everyone will be directed there to discuss factual things that are not welcome in this thread. There is a flag feature and a great team of mods to back us up. As far as some inept Daily Mail crap some writer desperate to keep his job churns out, taking some looks at obscure dots and attempting to connect them using intern level tactics such as "unnamed sources", NOT FACTUAL, NOT SPOILERS.
If you all want this to be a spoiler thread, I will abandon it at once and leave it to the mods to keep up with. The last update to the list will be Christoph Waltz being cast, and it will have been a futile waste of my time and effort, and totally go against why I originally started this thread.
What exactly would you all consider spoilers? If I were to come on here and say I think Christoph Waltz would make a good Blofeld, and I spoke to another guy and he said he will be Blofeld, and then I wrote an article and posted it here, is that fact? Is that a spoiler? No. Are endless pages of fanboys getting hard-on's for some poorly-executed half-cocked wannabe nemesis returning to a series of films that recently have become diseased with no clear theme or direction spoilers now? If so, spoiler tag the whole damn site.
I've spoken to @Creasy47 and we've come to an understanding. We agree there should be a separate thread for the more factual information involving plot twists, character actions and possible deaths, and other story elements that I do not wish to discuss in this thread.
Still have an issue? Contact Creasy.
So you are trying to keep this thread totally spoiler free. Facts here, along with some speculation (that is the grey area, where others call some things spoilers). And someone else should set up a thread for all Bond 24 spoilers and more speculation, with no spoiler tags needed on that new thread. All right. That seems settled at least. Hopefully that will be helpful. Thank you for responding.
Please check your messages for my clarification, and I hope you don't take my reply as being directed only at you.
To all:
We have a plague in these pages of stating our speculation as fact. "How could they NOT bring back Blofeld" is not at all constructive or productive, and as this is a production thread, no member should state speculation or opinion as fact, especially in response to a member reasonably arguing against them. If there can be an argument against it being true, it is a RUMOR. Not a SPOILER, not a FACT.
This is a production timeline. Casting, locations, and news articles will all be approached as a part of production, thus fitting this thread. Back-door speculation or confirmation of spoilers will not be.
As stated many many times before, if you don't think Eon want you to know about it, and it deals with the story or plot of the film, it is a spoiler. If it will not be found in any promotional material, it is a spoiler. That is all. That is the line. Drawn in the sand. Clear.
thank you sir.
@haserot hit it on the head.
It goes viral when there's extensive news coverage, when it trends on Twitter (just look at what a teaser trailer for Jurassic World did!) and all the rest. Again, those figures are nothing special.
Wouldn't surprise me... Just curious, since you can't technically read in dreams, was the title large enough to where you could still decipher what it was, or did someone say it?
It's a videogame. Not exactly indication of creative vision in the.movies.
Anyway, philosophical observation: ideas exist outside the mind, so it is very likely some people at Eon could have thought of the same unused Fleming material.
The video game Blofeld also resembled Baron Wolfgang Von Strucker, who debuted in Marvel Comics in 1963, in Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos, and surfaced later in Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD.

Nothing special, unless for whose who think the general audience doesn't care about who Blofeld is. I wish we could have the same stats for Quantum, but the organization has not even a Wiki page... Even SMERSH has one. Poor Quantum.
Like I said before:
Baz could well lift the lid on the girl on Friday, or, get this, we may get a surprise. Would be nice for once.
Not even comparable. No need to panic.
I think they're just learning from what happened during early production of Skyfall. Michael even said at the press conference from Skyfall that the film's title was "the worst-kept secret in London". I think they're just learning from their "mistakes" and it is very early on and we have a lot of time to learn more about the film. They've not even started filming yet and people are already getting worried.
Let's call it "Post-Bond depression"?
