== Screencap Comparison ==
'''Tomorrow Never Dies''' (also known as '''007: Tomorrow Never Dies''') is a 1999 third-person shooter stealth PS1 game based on the James Bond [[Tomorrow Never Dies|film of the same name]]. It was developed by Black Ops Entertainment and co-published by Electronic Arts and MGM Interactive. It is the first 007 game that was published by Electronic Arts since acquiring the James Bond licence.

Upon release, it was met with very mixed reviews, being referred to by critics as poor man's [[Metal Gear Solid|Metal Gear]] and/or [[Syphon Filter]]. Worse yet, it's success was meager compared to the preceeding Bond game adaption, the much heralded [[GoldenEye 007]]. It had enough success to receive a "Platinum" sales award from the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA), indicating sales of at least 300,000 copies in the United Kingdom.
== Removed gun - The MP5 ==
NOTE: At times, the weapon icons don't match ingame renders.
There exists footage from E3 pre-release shows, that reveals there is a cut weapon. Judging from the weapon icon, the removed weapon appears to be MP5. While cut from the final game, the weapon is apparently present in the game's data.
[[File:007TND_PS1_beta_SMG.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Screencap from Beta footage. Weapon icon looks like MP5]]
IMO, it's actually baffling just why this weapon didn't get in, considering the MP5 and it's variants are quite prominent in the movie.

'''The following weapons are used in the video game ''Tomorrow Never Dies (VG)'':'''
__TOC__<br clear=all>
== Walther PPK ==
Always suppressed and appears as "PK7". It has infinitive reloads and holds 16 rounds in a magazine. It is always there for Bond as his sidearm except in the last level.
Referred to as "GL40", the [[M79 grenade launcher|M79 Grenade Launcher]] is dressed as a [[Armsel Striker]]. It is famously seen used by Stamper against Bond in the game. The GL40 later reprises its appearance in [[The World Is Not Enough (video game)|''The World Is Not Enough'']] and was designed as original [[M79 grenade launcher|M79 Grenade Launcher]].

== Walther P99 ==
Always suppressed and appears as "PK9", which only is carried in the last level, after Bond replaced his PK7 with it, just like in the film. It also has unlimited ammo. On the game cover, [[Pierce Brosnan]] as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Bond James Bond] holds a [[Walther P99]].
