Thats actually all from reliable sources.
Looks like we are in for a shock treat in 2004.
I think so!

As long as it has the same balance of accuracy and gameplay as Goldeneye and PD then I'll be happy.

That's true. And EA have made the next Bond third person........

Yes, but Nintendo still published it. That's why I think it could be complex. Better not be as the next PD had better use that engine. It's still lightyears ahead.

yeah EA have gone weird the last 6/12 months or so. They seem to care all of a sudden. I used to hate EA, but they've bought/hired some good companys.
I used to see them as churning out 'cookie cutter' games. They still do but I ignore these.
I was surprised at how good Buffy was.
I was surprised at how enjoyable The Sims was.
I Liked the multi in Nightfire, far away from Perfect Dark but still the closest thing since.
Defjam Vendetta really kicked me in the head and said 'look EA suddenly know what they are doing'.
Even Need for Speed was a good racer.
EA's new influx of talent is encouraging.

How? The copyright logo and screen on the game would appear to suggest otherwise.

No, but it jumped consoles.
