Even if it's parroting what many others here have said I have to say, what the hell happened?! I expected at least a solid game after Goldeneye Wii/Reloaded, oh well.

I might be crazy... but I kinda dug Bloodstone.
It had it's flaws, but it felt good to sprint around doing slick melee kills (some of the best for the genre imo).

Ouch at those reviews. I didn't think the last game was great but geez, I didn't expect this one to be so poorly received.
No, that was Shiggy misinterpreting something he'd heard. It was this.
I had a small following from people who actually played. Plus it was by Bizarre creations who are always quality.
Well if you're going to wait for that you might as well wait for Risico the Blood Stone sequel.
I haven't a clue, looking at some videos of levels it's all very rushed and sparratic and it looks like a fan mod of the Goldeneye engine for a new bond game.
I LOVED Blood Stone, recently streamed it.
Watch me play it here

wonderful game.
The Ninja Gaiden 3 of shooters has arrived fuckers!
You're definitely not crazy. It's my 3rd favourite Bond game (behind Goldeneye and Nightfire)

The minute they announced Moonraker as a level people should have been sceptical.

Ah hell, I was really looking forward to this one too. Why must they break my heart like this? I even watched OHMSS this week again...

Yeesh, no ending on disc? I literally buy almost every game that comes out for PS3, and that's enough to turn me off getting this.
I mean, I will eventually, but not until it's a lot less than $60.

see I call BS on this cause the moonraker level on the original Goldeneye is great.
People just judging by the movie.

All of EA's bond games weren't good. Their ps1 stuff sucked, and eurocom actually made two of the better EA games with the n64 version of the world is not enough and nightfire. Everything or Nothing was great as well.
I didn't play much of From Russia with Love because Connery sounds so bad with his old man voice. They should have used a voice actor like the Scarface game did. That uses Al Pacino's likeness, but had the awareness to realize how he sounds nothing like he used to.
yes, because it's certainly not a potentially fun set piece level for a shooter or anything.

Seconded. Although I was secretly hoping for Thunderball. Great locations, potential underwater battle sequence...
*Sigh. Just read through the IGN review, have absolutely no desire to pick this one up now. Really too bad man, lot of Bond fans will be let down by this.
Yeah see so many Bond flicks have such GREAT potential for levels in games and could end up being amazing games just that could even outdo Goldeneye cause there's so much potential for fun and creativity.
I'm sad cause now cause of this shitty cash in there probably won't be wanting to revisit the old films.

So sad.
Think they can fix the Wii U version for December?
They should stick Skyfall on the disc, at the very least.

Eurocom did that and Nightfire. They can make good Bond games.

That OP img. God damn brutal!
I agree with you. The Ps1 Bond stuff was mostly terrible. Bond shined on other formats though (in my opinion).
Eurocom are clearly talented developers. Nintendo should buy them and put Eurocom to work on a NEW Wii U-exclusive FPS franchise. (In addition to a HD remake of Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, along with a sequel.)
I blame Activision. Everything they've done with the Bond license has been terrible; outside of Goldeneye Wii, which of course had a ton of Nintendo people working on it and showed clear indications of a decent budget and lots of polish.
However, as stated in my earlier post, I also hate what the Bond movies have become. In a way Activision are only doing justice to the hopelessly awful source material. With 007 Legends they've gone one step further and transgressed against the classic Bonds, those movies which actually could make great games. And that's a sin that this Bond fan can't see himself forgiving them for.
Lastly, I agree with you on another point - The World is not Enough (N64 version!!) showed that an awesome FPS could be made from a terrible movie. If only we could see more tie-ups with Nintendo. Therein may lie the answer to our Bond woes.

It's among the best SP experiences for sure and I have played plenty on PC and tried some on PS3. Didn't try the HD versions though so can't comment on that. If they took out the stealth elements and CoDified it then that'd be crap though.
This. I know, budget and all but still.
People on GAF play games?
Wait, seriously? How many games do you own and how do you pay for them all?

I actually liked the Quantum of Solace game, although it's not really great or anything. It was made by Treyarch, presumably their B team, as it was released a week before their CoD: World at War. It was a competent CoD style shooter that added some Craig brawling and a great cover mechanic for what could have just been a Bond skinned CoD experience. Treyarch also spared us the boring QoS story by making the meat of the campaign mostly about Casino Royale.
The multiplayer was fun, even making flaws like overpowered auto shotguns stupidly exciting. The cover really added something to the multiplayer that's missing for me in other shooters like CoD or Halo. I like the risk/reward of using cover in online matches.

I don't own that many, actually. As soon as I'm done with a game, I trade it in. But it does get a little pricey, yes.

A man can dream. Still clinging to the hope that someday, SOMEone will release a 007 game that portrays all the Bond actors in their respective primes. Would love to see a Sean Connery vs. Roger Moore vs. Daniel Craig vs. Timothy Dalton 4-way showdown in the funhouse from "The Man With the Golden Gun" in local multiplayer.
That, sir. Is an excellent question.

This, so sad.
Goldeneye for Wii was amazingly fun and well done.
Seems like a great idea what this game is using but at the end they couldnt made the full of it, what a pity.

What a shame. GoldenEye Wii was awesome, as was the golden classic controller. This is a disaster.

If the impressions of it had been as good as Goldeneye's I would have picked it up day 1 most likely.

Blood Stone wasn't completely terrible. I wouldn't call it a great game or anything, but it was enjoyable enough. Personally, I liked it a lot more than Goldeneye Reloaded.
You know what would have been great? If they had uncancelled Raven's Bond game instead of making this. That game could have been good, such a disappointment.
Edit: Yeah, Blood Stone was surprisingly fun. Decent plot and acting, just felt unpolished. Weirdly, it still has a MP community!

Quantum of solace still had a decent community the last time I hopped on. EA would have shut all these down already.
