Connery In Russia With Love Title

Yet another movie tie-in rears its head, as Gamespot has word that Sean Connery will be reprising his role as James Bond for an upcoming 'From Russia with Love' game title. From the article: "Based on the 1963 movie of the same name, the game will also feature the likeness of the then-33-year-old actor, who is currently 74. It will also feature the 1963-era likenesses of his Love costars, including the late Robert Shaw, who played villain Donald "Red" Grant, and the late Desmond Llewelyn, who played gadget master Q through most of the spy-film series."

    Connery said, "Video games are an extremely popular form of entertainment today, and I am looking forward to seeing how it all 'fits together'."

    There are reports of Connery adding (off the record), "and I would like to see the young, digital me, frisk some virtual ladies if you know what I mean..."

    to have the best easter eggs ever...Imagine...you're going through a level, see a glimmer off in a dark corner, go pick it up, and a hidden video clip plays, featuring sean connery in celebrity jeopardy!

    but seriously, I hope the game features a good portion of connery, voice-wise, etc...The man is one of my all time favorite actors, and needs to be preserved, before he finally dies, at 110, I hope..

    Games have slowly been improving on the audio front for a long time , however many have failed to realise the importance of good voice work.
    The entire emmerison can be broken by 1 cheesy half baked accent or a some poorly read lines.
    I do not mind so much about the real actors however i would like games producers to start hiring real voice actors more often to fill the roles.
    As someone who has done profesional and amature voice work for games ,radio and some TV it pains me all the more to hear amaturish maulings of what could have been an excelent scene , Honestly i would do games work for free if asked (some times not all the time) yet we still have to suffer the dead monotone ramblings of some of the worst actors this side of anime dubs.
