One solution for our little multiplayer issue: we could play together.
Paid off by Activision much? Why do people keep writing about this mythical overarching narrative that doesn't exist?
everything up to this point bar multiplayer was a disappointment! i have to say i got a little excited when the OHMSS ski level started up only to be horribly let down by the terrible gameplay and the re-use of the blood stone theme proves activision are a bunch of lazy ba***rds.
My thoughts too; for all of those who dislike Quantum of Solace so much, I can tell you that I feel much more energy and excitement gunning my way through the parking garage of the Perla de las Dunas or the town square in Venice than many of the gun fights in Legends. And as for Blood Stone, well let's just say I knew Legends wouldn't beat it, because it is that great!
If Legends had better graphics, it would be a lot better. Everywhere you look there is a repeated texture.
Blood Stone was great. The Graphics were great for 2010. And at all, the graphics ain't important. Mario World, Starfox 64, GTA San Andreas, COD MW1 & Goldeneye N64 makes even more success nowadays. The game needs a Gameplay. If it has Pac-man graphics, it works for me.
There are flash browser games even better than PC and X360 games.
Spot on. It's all about the gameplay.
Yes, gameplay is the most important factor, I loved Blood Stone. It really was a great representation of the Craig films, my favourite moment being the hardhat scene, very reminiscent of when he chucks the phone aside in the car in Quantum of Solace. But it's adherence to the Craig films, it's aping of the Craig films, was completely undermined by the cruddy graphics in the cutscenes.
For a Bond title today, it needs to be as good as its competitors. Splinter Cell Conviction's graphics is what I would expect of a Bond game today. They're not incredible, but they are very solid, and to a degree, photo-realistic. Blood Stone came close to that.
007 Legends at times could be mistaken for a PS2 game that's been up-rezzed for HD consoles. And that's probably because it uses the same engine as GoldenEye Reloaded, which was uprezzed from the Wii. The graphics are very rudimentary.
At every corner in 007 Legends, as I am enjoying the way it has reimagined the films and the "set design" (and I quite like the "world building" it does - especially in Die Another Day, it did a good job of linking the bio dome with the hotel, and expanding Project Icarus to be a proper commercial "product" more than it seemed in the film), I notice the same door texture used for double doors, walls etc. Texturing is obviously necessary, but the way it is used in Legends is lazy. In Goldfinger, just before the first stealth section, you're in the chamber before the smelting room, and the big doorway opens and you notice the same rust on the edge of one side is there on the other, flipped over! I know it's common practice, but it is way too obvious in Legends.
Ideally, for me, if the next Bond game has to be an FPS, then I hope Eurocom will spend the next couple of years developing the engine so it's up to scratch, implement a cover technique similar to Quantum of Solace and make more of Bond in the gameplay, rather than slotting in gadget moments inbetween the COD shootouts.
By the way, did anyone notice in GF, they forget about the "deadly nerve gas" straight after Bond sees Pussy? He walks right into it and crouches behind the railing!
Activision has revealed that the Skyfall downloadable content for 007 Legends will arrive on November 9th for PlayStation 3 players and November 20th for Xbox 360
Hopefully it includes a ppk and double barrelled shotgun for multiplayer?

Why is everyone so keen to hurl abuse at this game? There's nothing wrong with those at all.
My mistake, BTW agent have you picked up the remastered doom yet?
and sorry to sound like a broke record , has anyone seen the dlc skins and ppk content yet?
That guards conversation about Oddjob on the Goldfinger level is bizarre :-O
The one about how he loves food?
Really? That reminds me of Batman Begins (the game). When in a stealth section, guards are always talking, and it is some of the greatest dialogue I have heard in a game. Brilliant stuff.
The guard conversations in 007 Legends are pretty funny. In the Goldfinger one they talk about choosing the vending machines over the restaurant, because the food from the machines is better. Oddjob told that to one of the guards, and then they talk about Oddjob and how he knows his food, and got angy once when his eggs weren't properly cooked or something.... 8-}
WHAT?! HE'S MUTE! Did Activision make him talk?!?!
