From EA With Love
« on: April 28, 2005, 10:58:26 AM »
EA has announced a new James Bond game, this time giving a video game adaptation to the classic, From Russia With Love.

Sean Connery to Reprise Role as Bond    


REDWOOD CITY, Calif., April 28, 2005 – Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: ERTS) today announced the latest installment in the widely successful James Bond ™ videogame franchise, From Russia With Love ™, starring Academy Award ®-winner, Sir Sean Connery. The highly anticipated game is scheduled to ship this fall on the PlayStation ®2 computer entertainment system, the Xbox ® video game system from Microsoft, and the Nintendo GameCube ™ under the EA GAMES ™ brand.    


From Russia With Love , the game, will be based on the classic Bond film but will also feature some new plot twists, gadgets and characters. Sir Sean Connery, appearing in his first-ever videogame, lent his voice and likeness to the project.    


“As an artist, I see this as another way to explore the creative process,” said Connery. “Video games are an extremely popular form of entertainment today, and I am looking forward to seeing how it all fits together”    


Officially licensed by MGM Interactive, From Russia With Love is being developed by EA’s Redwood Shores , Calif. studio. This game has not yet been rated by the ESRB.

I like the concept of remaking one of the old movies (with Sean Connery no less) even though it smacks of the usual EA publicity stunt philosophy.  I'd say that I hope it turns out well, but I actually hope it sucks so that I won't be tempted to give EA my money.

What I want to know is will they actually decide to spend time (2/3 years) on making these games?

yeah, they'll spend 2/3rds of a year, why do you ask ?

Wasn't this game announced earlier? I remember the EA guys talking about it as if the information was already official a few months back.

The screens look like they're going more for an "Everything or Nothing" type of game. Makes sense, EON received the highest ratings of any EA Bond game, averaging ~90% on Game Rankings.
