video game quotes

The latest in the long line of James Bond actors, Daniel Craig, is secretly a huge gaming fanatic.  He’s actually passionate enough about videogames (secretly) that he wouldn’t sign on with Treyarch to make the upcoming Quantum of Solace game until he got a chance to evaluate it himself.

In an interview with Daily Star, Treyarch’s Adam Gascoine had the following to say about Daniel Craig and his secret gaming lifestyle:

“Daniel Craig is a gamer. The impression I got is that he spends a lot of time playing games even though his other half is constantly telling him not to.

He was quite reserved about doing our game at first because he didn’t want to be involved in a shoddy product. We had to show it to him three times before he would sign up. When we went to Pinewood Studios, we were held up for half an hour because he was playing Guitar Hero.

They were about half way through making Quantum Of Solace and he got to play some levels of the game that related to scenes he was actually filming at the time. The fact that he was evaluating our game made it very high stakes for us. It was quite tense, but the end result made it a much better game.

Craig is very serious about his roles. You can’t just go in there joking and laughing. You have to establish you are there to do business. If he says he doesn’t like it, you have to listen. He’s also built like a brick shithouse so you don’t argue with him.”

I have nothing else to say except that this news is both awesome and strangely humorous.

    Either this is just a heavy dose of mid-life crisis or he's just a hardcore gamer like everyone else like us :D +1 for Craig

    I love the fact that Daniel Craig plays games, but if he were a TRUE gamer, he wouldn't let Treyarch make a James Bond game period. No matter how many times they showed it to him.

    It's Treyarch for god's sake. Of course it's gonna be "shoddy".

    Hahaha, Spense09. The story is true, but I made the picture. It wasn't photoshopped, it was paint shop pro'd.
