[VOOK]

Collection of Bonds and Bond missions, coems with the Mi6 Ops Missions from Goldeneye: 007 remake.

Xbox 360 and PS3 only.

SANTA MONICA, Calif., April 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- To celebrate the James Bond franchise's 50th anniversary, Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI), will launch gamers back through time to relive a selection of Bond's most iconic and intense undercover missions from the popular Bond film franchise with 007™ Legends.

A first-of-its-kind Bond video game, 007 Legends features an original, overarching storyline tying together six classic Bond movies, concluding with this year's highly-anticipated 23rd installment — SKYFALL — to offer the most diverse Bond gaming experience yet! As with the feature films, 007 Legends equips players with state-of-the-art spy gadgets, an arsenal of weapons, including Bond's signature Walther PPK, and sleek vehicles as they jet off to exotic locations and utilize Bond's quick wits, class and style to take down notorious villains and their brutal henchmen, perform impressive stunts, and of course...mingle with gorgeous Bond women.

"To honor 50 years of the world's top secret agent, 007 Legends offers a collection of his most famed moments in the smartest and most treacherous Bond game yet," said David Oxford, Executive Vice President at Activision Publishing, Inc. "Creating a video game storyline that ties together six popular, yet very different, Bond movie narratives can be challenging, but together with EON Productions, our developer Eurocom, has pulled it off to create an homage that we think will be a unique and highly entertaining Bond video game."

In addition to 007 Legends' main story, the game will feature the return of fan-favorite single-player Mi6 Ops Missions, which debuted in GoldenEye 007: Reloaded and challenges players to complete extra missions ranging from all-out action to stealth and gadget-based gameplay and compete for the highest online leader board scores. For the first time ever, players will be able to participate as one of Bond's cohorts or villainous foes, reliving the missions through their eyes, as well as 007's. The robust James Bond multiplayer experience includes local four-player split-screen game modes and online competitive gameplay with new maps, weapons and characters derived from Bond's 50 year legacy. With more gadgets, deeper stealth and spy investigation gameplay, gamers will have every opportunity to truly feel like the world's favorite spy.

Planned to launch this fall, 007 Legends is being developed by Eurocom, under license from EON Productions Ltd. and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, Inc. (MGM) for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system. Stay tuned for more information on the game's official Web site and Facebook page.

Don't have any screens or links to the Facebook page or official site either with the PR :/

 

[shinobi602]

Sort of want.

 

[Mpl90]

...And Skyfall?

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

hoping for 006

 

[areal]

Shocking. Positively shocking.

 

[BGBW]

Will there be a leaderboard for coming up with the best Roger Moore era one liners?

 

[Criminal Upper]

Is Eurocom developing all of this?

 

[TheBioLover]

Sounds.............interesting.

 

[Twinduct]

Sorry 007, but Black Cops 2 is coming this year.

 

[Pie and Beans]

I assume this will be doing to other classic Bond films, by Daniel Craig-ing them just like they did Goldeneye.

 

[Nemesis_]

I don't get it.

Is it an original compilation or is it just a shitty compilation of all the recently released James Bond games?

>_>

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

I assume this will be doing to other classic Bond films, by Daniel Craig-ing them just like they did Goldeneye.

Alec Trevelyan was terrible in the remake.

 

[The Elite]

So what are the other five films?

I'd like:

Goldfinger
On her Majesty's Secret Service
Moonraker (space combat evolved)
Living Daylights
Goldeneye (Then again, they have done this to death)
Skyfall

 

[Rated-Rsuperstar]

Sounds interesting. I really hope the different movies are set in their respective time frames but that really wouldn't make sense from a story point of view. Unless they got the likeness of every Bond.

 

[Nemesis_]

I'd imagine FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE and GOLDENEYE are in since they have assets that already exist.

Personally I want Tomorrow Never Dies. But I'm sure I'm in the minority lol

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

go for that old Golden Eye rumor/joke/lie that if everyone chooses Bond at the same exact time you get the different Bonds

 

[Cardon]

Is Eurocom developing all of this?

They're the go to James Bond dev team now so yeah. Until they screw up majorly Eurocom is on James Bond duty for the foreseeable future.

 

[LongDongJunon]

Is Eurocom developing all of this?

Yup

 

[The Elite]

I assume this will be doing to other classic Bond films, by Daniel Craig-ing them just like they did Goldeneye.

If it's one from each Bond I'd love it if they actually use the Bond from that era. But if it's a cohesive story, using just Craig makes sense.

 

[LiK]

This fall? Hope it's better than the other 007 games that Activision has been crapping out.

 

[The Elite]

So what are the other five films?

I'd like:

Goldfinger
On her Majesty's Secret Service
Moonraker (space combat evolved)
Living Daylights
Goldeneye (Then again, they have done this to death)
Skyfall

Actually I'm gonna update this list.

You Only Live Twice
On Her Majesty's Secret Service
Live and Let Die
Living Daylights
Tomorrow Never Dies
Skyfall

 

[Nocturnowl]

Can't help but think "James Bond: Generations" when reading that description. Sounds like it could be amusing though.

 

[phosphor112]

Activision? No thanks.

 

[Criminal Upper]

Activision? No thanks.

Eurocom is good though!

 

[LongDongJunon]

I assume this will be doing to other classic Bond films, by Daniel Craig-ing them just like they did Goldeneye.

I actually REALLY hope that's the case.

Spoiler

I also hope we get a sequel to Blood Stone someday.

 

[SuperEpicMan]

As long it has a Die Another Day surfing level I will be happy

 

[Hot Coldman]

dat licensing requirement

 

[SolidSnakex]

Eurocom is good though!

Yeah, Eurocom is responsible for the only really good Bond games since Goldeneye. Although, I did like Blood Stone also. Too bad that it ended up playing a role in Bizarre's death.

 

[Taker666]

...And Skyfall?

Maybe delayed until the Blu Ray/DVD release.

It seems odd they have this game ready for 360/PS3 when the Skyfall tie-in was expected at the same time as the film....maybe Nintendo paid for Wii U exclusivity (for this year at least)?

 

[ajim]

After the Goldeneye remake on Wii - Do not want. Probably won't be touching another Bond game for a long time unfortunately, that game was so bad.

I'm confused? Is there a Nintendo exclusive Skyfall game coming out as well?

 

[LiquidSolid]

So they're going through the entire franchise, picking out the best set pieces and gluing them together with a half-assed, shitty plot. Take out the first part and it's Call of Duty. Kinda interested in renting I guess?

 

[BGBW]

Celebrate 50 years by putting James Bond 007 on the 3DS Virtual Console.

 

[Slayven]

Can't help but think "James Bond: Generations" when reading that description. Sounds like it could be amusing though.

 

[snoopeasystreet]

So one movie for each bond?

 

[Criminal Upper]

After the Goldeneye remake on Wii - Do not want. Probably won't be touching another Bond game for a long time unfortunately, that game was so bad.

It wasn't, actually. The best Bond game since Everything or Nothing.

 

[codhand]

It wasn't, actually. The best Bond game since Everything or Nothing.

dat shirt.

Ahh EoN memories.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Oh my, I forgot about this, I actually played the SNES game and it wasn't pretty.

 

[Cudder]

Sort of want.

.

 

[Krev]

I'm confused? Is there a Nintendo exclusive Skyfall game coming out as well?

Seems that way. Shiggy has good information on a lot of developers and he made a post about Skyfall for Wii U (and promptly deleted it).

 

[The Elite]

They mention that they will be using six movies including Skyfall. So I assume it will be a short game with six stages, one for each Bond.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

In Eurocom we trust?

Not sure yet but always interested in a new bond game.

 

[SparkTR]

Just give me Blood Stone 2, don't leave me hanging Activision.

 

[Cardon]

I loved that show as a kid. I'm kind of surprised we haven't seen something similar to that surface as a major cash grab opportunity.

 

[Cudder]

Just give me Blood Stone 2, don't leave me hanging Activision.

Blood Stone was a great game.

 

[Criminal Upper]

Yeah, Blood Stone was great. Completely mediocre, forgettable, outsold by Goldeneye Wii, and resulted in the death of Bizarre Creations.

Goooooood times all around.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Pierce Brosnan?

 

[elektrixx]

I'm picturing 007: All-Stars like it's the WWE game.

SOLD!

 

[Krev]

I wonder who's developing the Skyfall Wii U game. Will it be Quantum of Solace Wii: The Revengenace?

 

[The Elite]

I'm picturing 007: All-Stars like it's the WWE game.

SOLD!

Now I'm picturing this.

Roided Dalton beating on Brosnan made me chuckle.
