Watch 007 mark and execute bad guys in ‘Blood Stone’ demo footage

Seven minutes of gameplay from James Bond 007: Blood Stone taken from Activision's press event

[PoSTedUP]

wow now THATS what i call a bond game. the action, the fighting... i love the new approach. this is actually up there on my radar bc i am a huge bond fan, quantom of solace was average/garbage. this looks excellent.

[Johnny_Bravo]

The gameplay looks EXACTLY like Splinter Cell Conviction, which is great because I loved SCC. I might actually have to pick this game up, the last Bond game I played that was good was......well I can't remember.

[kingdavid]

It looks very fun. Gfx look better then conviction (probably the most disappointing part of the game) and it looks a bit more polished. Looking forward to it.

[trunker]

1:17 threat indicator / direction of fire thingie is a carbon copy of SC Conviction ...the one which narrows from white to red. identical in all but setting and cast- as been said not a bad thing, especially for a game of the movie

[MiamiACR]

I love james bond, first day buy. Loving the Third person view, intense action scenes, and the general badassness of the 6 minute video.

[NoBias]

This is looks really... REALLY good. I was not expecting to see that at all..

[LedZeppelin]

this reminds me of that bourne game

[Kingdom Come]

But that isn't exactly a Bad Thing ;)
HUGE step up from the Quantum of Solace game...

[yepitsme]

Man, I sure hope they bring a good Bond game to the series, it's been far too long.

[Folezicle]

Quantum of Solace was a descent movie game, although not the best.. I'm not going to get this day one though

[theEnemy]

So they copied the feature that makes Splinter Cell Conviction very easy to play ?

:/

[TANUKI]

The close quarters combat looks very impressive. Very fluid.

[Trunkz]

They were all nice but the first one (the guy around the wall) it almost seems the guy teleports in front of bond (even the enemy seemed just as surprised lol) hope they fix that.

[TANUKI]

At a second glance, I see what you mean. Well, maybe not 100% fluid, but pretty good still.

[Natsu X FairyTail]

Great year for Stealth games. Bond , SplinterCell , Rising.

[BiggCMan]

splinter cell and rising are stealth games?? must have missed that one. from what ive seen, rising looks like ninja gaiden. and splinter cell was more of an easy action game. hmm... i think you need to play mgs4 to get a taste of stealth. oh wait, i dont think you have a ps3.

[Natsu X FairyTail]

Man stfu What does this have to do with PS3? I dont need a ps3 to play a stealth game. I'll play MGS:peace walker on my PSP .

You guys are so lame always making things a PS3 vs xbox crap.

[BWS1982]

to your comment, reread it all, he just expounded on it more and it pissed you off. Don't be angry, he has a point. Rising is an action game, pure and simple, and he made that clear. He might have done you a favor, if you don't know what you're about to buy.

Umm...it has as much stealth as sword play. And don't pretend MGS4 is a stealth game, plenty of time the game forces you to shoot, especially in the last level (or act) where sneaking is basically impossible.

[BWS1982]

but still:

"Matsuyama noted that those who go the stealth way will still find a different experience from past MGS games, thanks in part to Raiden's greater speed. This is in line with one of the goals for the game, of making an MGS of different forms from past titles. "

Meaning it's not "MGS" per se and it'll be unlike what we know MGS to be, but, if there truly is more stealth than the trailer lets on, all the better. I'm not pretending anything, "stealth" doesn't always mean confrontation is avoided, it's just done in a different manner. Shooting/slicing doesn't inherently implicate "non-stealth" so I don't get all of your point, but I stand partially corrected.

Natsu is still a fanboy, and he has no right to get upset when an opposing fanboy comments after him. That was also part of my post.

[hardcorez]

Looks like the "new" Bond.

[The_Devil_Hunter]

Bond, check.
Action, check.
Good CQC, check.

Im in. Sign me up to MI6.

[pixelsword]

Aw, pooh; I wanted the Roger Moore Bond with the straight-robotic looking hands when he does his crash-course karate.

You can never get enough of that.

[wenaldy]

I'd rather see Timothy Dalton as the Bond on that game...

[bacrec1]

Is it me or did the villain in the clip look like Ben Affleck?

[NarooN]

If they can make it as good as Everything or Nothing was, count me in. It actually looks amazing already so I think I'll buy it since I'm a huge Bond fan.

[extermin8or]

if its anyting like everything or noting I'll get it day one lol, it looks abit like it. Hopefully it will be as good

[tigertron]

The game looks pretty good, like EON, and EON was one of my favourite games last gen, so its all good.

[Maldread]

Does the main badie remind you of Ben Affleck with a beard ?

Anyway, Blood Stone seems like a mix of SC: Conviction and Uncharted 2. Bizarre are a good developer too, so i think it will at least turned out decent. Don`t wan`t to get my hopes up about a Bond game, but it looked better than expected.

[shades72]

was ok. I'll be happy if this is similar.

[siyrobbo]

Qos was ok but it suffered from terrible mechanics, this is the best sort of liscenced game, no rush to release intime with a movie so they can polish it. Hopefully it will be as good as batman, transformers and the bourne conspiracy

[extermin8or]

yh QoS suffered from mechanic issues and the graphics were appalling even for the time, this looks much better and I think batman was good don't know about transformer but bourne was so so I mean it was quite fun as te free demo but I'd never have boutght it.

[stuntman_mike]

The game looks very good, I enjoyed quantum of solace this looks like a big step up. if they copied from splinter cell conviction that aint a bad thing the game had a lot of good ideas.

This should be a excellent game the driving sections also looked really good (glad bizzare are on the job).

[STRAIGHTASL]

the subtitles look very awful on the video.

[extermin8or]

it was recorded at the back of a private press conference lol

[teedogg80]

I never heard of this game until now. Looks really impressive.

[Jeff257]

If this is as good as everything or Nothing then it will be 60 dollars well spent. The vid definitely looked good and Im hoping we get a release announcement for this soon.

[The_Devil_Hunter]

Everything or Nothing was really good. It had so much variety within the game, and so many awesome location to play through, easily one of my favorite Bond games next to Goldeneye, obviously.

[Xfanboy]

People might say This game i a copy of other games!!!

But Who started The whole Alpha male Action hero pussy getting Gun slinging car chasing Theme?? & how many movies & games followed? It makes sense for to be the best so It can be on par with the movies!! Nathan Drake & Master Chief gets no pussy!!!

Well Kratos on the other hand....

[Gestalt]

[prettyboy1]
