Treyarch: Daniel Craig is a gamer
Speaking to the Daily Star, Treyarch’s Adam Gascoine has said that Bond actor Daniel Craig is such a mentalist gamer that he had to be shown early Quantum of Solace code three times before he’d agree to be involved with the game.
“Daniel Craig is a gamer,” said the developer.
“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.”

“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.
Then we showed him a level – less than 2 minutes in he retorted with a “meh” and flipped out a DS and proceeded to play Zoo Keeper for 5 hours or so. He was so uber hard core our heads were throbbing. Finally he turned round and told us to show him some more.
We proceeded with another level but less than 1 minute later he was back on his DS – he was rocking hard with Jam Sessions. It.Was.God.Like.
Finally we got him to play some levels that related to why we were here:Quantum Of Solace. He licked our foreheads and signed. Told us ‘Later Bitches’ and an original GameBoy appeared in his hands and we watched in awe as he played Tetris, naked – like a bronze god.
It was quite tense but the end result made it a much better game.
