This page details pre-release information and/or media for 007: Tomorrow Never Dies.
When one takes a look at trailers, pre-release images, official strategy guide, the manual and the back of the box, there are a bunch of differences:
- Life bar was different and in the top-right corner.
- Box telling things was situated in the top-left corner.
- HUD icons for gadgets were different.
- Character dialogue appeared in a blue box with yellow text, whereas the final version just uses voices.
- According to the strategy guide, in Mission 5 after defeating the boss, you could take the grand staircase or a small curved one. That curved staircase is not found anywhere.
- Also according to the strategy guide, there's two fuel tanks near the enemy holding the key to the jet in Mission 2. There's only one fuel tank in the final game.
A lot of the E3 pre-release videos have poor quality video and sound because they were recorded from a tv screen by the developers testing the game.
