"Everything or Nothing" At E3 - Web
Exclusive
31st May 2003
The E3 Expo 2003, the hottest games industry event of the
year, wrapped earlier in the month and now MI6 can bring
you a report from Los Angeles and a web exclusive look at
the "Everything or Nothing" teaser sequence.
The 007 display on the Electronic Arts stand unfortunately
took second place behind the new EA Online Sports line-up.
Nevertheless, the chance of a sneak peak at the latest
Bond game created throngs of visitors, and not everyone
got to see footage let alone have a demo on either the PlayStation
2, Xbox or GameCube versions that were on display.

The competition in the games market for an action-adventure spy
romp looks to be crowded this year, as Konami announced "Metal
Gear Solid 3", Ubi Soft revealed the next "Splinter
Cell" title and SCEA put "Syphon Filter Omega"
on show.
Web Exclusive Teaser Sequence Video
007Gaming.com has secured a web exclusive video of an "Everything
or Nothing" teaser sequence.
The video was only on display for the lucky visitors who got
up close to the EA 007 stand, but Bond gaming fans can breathe
easy as 007Gaming.com has an exclusive online version of the footage.

The one-minute teaser shows Bond meeting a date in a cocktail
bar atop a glass sky scraper whilst a sniper keeps him in his
sights. Much to his surprise she pulls a gun on him, but the plot
thickens as a bald headed man stabs her in the back, and then
goes after Bond. A swift roundhouse kick sends the goon to the
floor, and 007 has to quickly assess the situation and plan his
escape route.
"Bond, James Bond. I'd wager you already
knew that".
An exciting new feature is revealed as the view switches from
third-person and, literally, into the eye of Bond as the gamer
gets to see the situation from 007's perspective. Useful objects
and targets are illuminated to show the chosen path for Bond to
escape, and the a slinky gunbarrel leads the action back into
third-person as the planned action is played out.
In a slight nod to "Tomorrow Never Dies" and "Die
Another Day", Bond descends down the building perpendicularly,
attached to a wire, as he hunts down the sniper. Before reaching
the ground, Bond despatches the gunman, steals his rifle, and
shoots down the helicopter. All in a days work. The teaser ends
with Bond adjusting his bowtie and raising his eyebrow, Roger
Moore style.
Although the cut scenes are some of the best yet, work on the
character models has not been completed, and Brosnan`s likeness
is sure to improve. His voice samples were also missing from this
trailer.
