Bizarre-developed Bond opts for EastEnder over Daniel Craig

According to Adam Croasdell, the EastEnders star (it's a long-running BBC soap opera, for the non-British amongst us) has wrapped up voice work on the game. "Oddly enough I have just played James Bond in the new James Bond video game -- how weird is that?" Croasdell told BBC Asian Network, as reported by the Press Association. "I think video games and the making of that type of technology, being in a funny one-piece suit and being shot with 60 cameras, I think that's sort of the future."
We're right there with you, Croasdell! Oh, and you better get used to that one-piece suit ... Activision has plans to milk that Bond license before it expires in 2014.

A...racing and driving game?
What? Why not just have a Girls of Bond game, involving Bond practicing his wooing and bedding skills?

A game perfect for Natal.

They haven't figured out the "STD algorithm" yet.
Captain Planet [Planeteer | Power of Captain Planet] @ Nov 11th 2009 2:38PM
The STD algorithm is simple.
Bond Girl #1 ----> # of times shagged ----> # of partners ----> # of genital sores ----> # of oral sores ----> # of times James asks to put it in the butt ----> # of times agreed to put it in the butt ----> = Random STD is chosen reflecting the above data

I've had an idea bouncing around in my noggin sense the 64 days. Everyone in the industry has been looking for a new idea for multi player I'm sure.. How about you make a king of the hill stile online multi, with one man as Bond. This player will have alot of health, and everyone else is a hinchman they can be killed easily, then when someone kills Bond he becomes Bond. Huh? Whatcha think Bizarre? Wait this idea has the same relevancy as a new bond game doesn't it?

It needs more "Bond".
1.) Rename to "King of the Spread". The henchmen are now vixens. You can figure out the rest.
2.) If you die (STD, cardiac arrest, clamping legs), the new bond morphs into one of the other Bonds. George Lazenby will have his day!
3.) Sprinkle some patented "Awesome" on your code.
4.) SUCCESS!

Juggernaut Bond? Or, better yet, JuggerBond!
The Dark Wayne [Planeteer: Power of the Batusi] @ Nov 11th 2009 2:25PM
sounds like you'd just be playing Juggernaut in King of the Hill, the only thing new about that is that'd you'd be bond instead of just....the juggernaut
Cowboy Curtis @ Nov 11th 2009 2:32PM
Relevancy is in the dictionary ya know... So is gullible.. And if you think about it some more back when Nitendo made the Nitendo 64, I don't think that Juggernaut mode was even around, well maybe in Quake, but then again I don't think they called it that.. =/

You just described the Bond gametype in Quantum of Solace...

Remember when Goldeneye 007 was going to be a Virtual Boy game, and focus entirely on car chases?
Dodged a bullet there, didn't we?

I'm sure the model is still going to be Craig'd. I haven't heard this guy's voice, but I'm betting they want him to do his best impression.

lame

So far this game sounds a lot like the 007 Racing game they had for the Playstation. 007 Racing wasn't all that fun though. Here's hoping this is better... a lot better... like, really freaking unbelievably better.

EA released at least 3 Bond games that had no movie tie-in and still used Brosnan's image. There's no reason why they couldn't do the same with Daniel Craig. Everything or Nothing was the best Bond game since Goldeneye (of course, it still paled in comparison).
K1Bond007 @ Nov 11th 2009 2:56PM
He never said he was doing voice work. Actually his statements lean more to him just doing motion-capture work. Given the popularity of Craig, it'd be stupid for them to replace him in the games. Of course EA did that with Brosnan - replaced him entirely in Agent Under Fire (though similar in appearance) and using Brosnan's appearance but someone else's voice in Nightfire.

The game is said to be a third-person "Bond" game that's racing and driving focused. But they're also working on a second racing game, described last year as Mario Kart meets Forza.
