Tomorrow Never Dies (also known as 007: Tomorrow Never Dies) is a 1999 third-person shooter stealth PS1 game based on the James Bond 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.
It got very mixed reviews from the game reviewers of the time, being unfavorably compared to Metal Gear and/or Syphon Filter. Not only that, it was universally deemed to be an inferior game to the preceeding Bond game adaption, the much heralded GoldenEye 007. Commercially it did not do as well as GoldenEye 007, but it atleast had enough success to get "Platinum" sales award from the ELSPA, indicating sales of at least 300,000 copies in the United Kingdom.
As the game's FMV sequences lift footage straight from the movie, the firearms depicted in those scenes are better explored on the the film version's IMFDB page.
The following weapons are used in the video game Tomorrow Never Dies (VG):
Walther PPK
Bond's ever present Walther PPK appears here as "PK7". It holds impressive 16 rounds in a single magazine - whereas in real life, standard PPK magazine generally holds 6-8 rounds. While magazine may run out ammo, there is always unlimited ammunition in reserve for it. It is also permanetly supressed.
It is featured in all missions with exception to the final one. It is used by Bond in Missions 1-8, Way Lin in Mission 9. For Mission 10, Bond carries the PK9 (Walther P99), just like in the movie.
Besides Bond and Wai Lin, certain antagonists carry the Walther PPK. Level 5 Boss, Dr. Kauffman, carries a PPK along with bizzare sci-fi style throwing stars.
Walther P99
Walther P99 appears as "PK9". Much like in the movie, Bond carries this to the Stealth Ship for the final conflict. It holds 16 rounds in a magazine with unlimited ammunition in reserve.
Bond (Pierce Brosnan) is seen holding a Walther P99 on the game cover, as well as on the game's title menu.
AK-47
AK-47 appears as "Assault" and hold 30 rounds in a magazine. It is sometimes powerful and sometimes weak, differing in every level. Despite it appearing lot in the game, the AK is not featured much in the movie except for the opening action scene.
MAC-10
Ingram MAC-10 appears as "SMG 45". It holds 40 bullets in a single magazine and 250 at max in reserve. It appears to be enfitted with some sort of safety extension on the barrel. It is featured in missions 3 & 10.
Full-Auto Glock
A full-auto Glock (can't tell if Glock 18 or converted Glock 17) appears as "Auto 9mm". It holds 30 bullets in a clip and 300 at max in reserve. It is featured in missions 7 & 8.
Barrett M82
Barrett M82 appears in the game in two configurations. There is a standard "Sniper" variation, with an basic scope with and a zoom function, which is featured in first two missions. There is also a "Infrared" variation with an infrared scope and zoom function, which featured in missions 6 & 7.
Curiously, when the enemy fire the Barrett, it fires in full-auto like a AK-47.
Sticky Mines
The sticky mine - or "STK.Mine" is shot to the surface where it sticks and is exploded with STK. DETN. when ready. It only appears in Mission 2 "Arms Bazaar", where it is needed to destroy large containers to reach mission objectives. It comes with only 5 mines to use.
The sticky mines themselves appear to be modelled after - though not identical to - the prop bombs Bond uses in GoldenEye.
The launcher Bond uses appears to be fictional/made for the game.
Carl-Gustav M2
The Carl Gustav rocket launcher appears as the "RL66" in the game. It holds 20 rockets. It is featured in mission 9, where it is necessary to defeat the helicopter gunship boss.
Hawk MM1 grenade launcher
Hawk MM1 grenade launcher appears as the "GL40". It holds 12 grenades in a drum and 18 at max in reserve, but with cheats we can see that true max is 25. It is featured in mission 10, where Stamper uses it as his weapon of choice for the boss fight.
In The World Is Not Enough, there appears a weapon bearing the GL40 yet again. However, in TWINE, it is modelled after the and M79 Grenade Launcher instead of Hawk MM1.
Gas Grenades
Appears as "Gasbomb", when it is thrown and it impacts the surface, it explodes into a cloud of lethal smoke. It is featured in mission 5 where player is given 10 bombs to use.
Skipole
Weapon used in skiing sections. Name never shows up in-game. Unique in a sense that you use both, left and right and both have their own buttons. It is featured in missions 1 and 7.
Concealed Machine Guns
"7.62 MM" is BMW 7’s machine guns. Comes with unlimited ammo. It's available in Mission 6 "Convoy" when driving the BMW 7. The weapon icon appears to be machine guns of Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger.
Missile
"Missle" is BMW 7’s missile system. It holds 10 missiles initially. It's available in Mission 6 "Convoy" when driving the BMW 7.
Sterling Armalite AR-180 (heavily modified)
On main menu, Bond is seen holding the highly modified AR-180 that he uses in the opening pre-title action sequence. Regrettably, this gun is not available in the main game.
Mortars
Non-descript Mortars appear at Mission 2's Arms Bazaar. Photographing the group of mortars is one of targets the player must photograph during this level.
Gatling Guns
Featured in Mission 2, The Arms Bazaar. Much like in the movie, there is a twin Gatling-style guns mounted on a truck during the arms bazaar shootout.
The Gunbarrel
The game intro has the opening gunbarrel sequence in FMV format, lifted straight from the original film.
