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.”
