I doubt cinema-goers would notice the difference. An explanation of how the hybrid system works would be a lengthy and unnecessary exposition.

Who says you need to explain, it's a bond movie it's suppose to be fun.

Reminds me of the episode of Top Gear when they got to record a car scene for a movie and they had to explain how to turn off the traction control.

That's one of the major rules of film-making - you need to show your audience something happening, rather than simply tell them about it. But you can't always observe it; sometimes, you need to tell your audience things. The trick is to keep that to a minimum. The mistake Top Gear made (though let's be honest - it was scripted; they work in television, so they had to know what the effect of that shot on the scene would be) was to insert a lengthy bit of exposition into the scene, breaking up the action to explain something that the audience didn't need to know to understand what was happening in the scene.

More filming has taken place in Austria, this time featuring:
Bond emerging from the wreckage of a crashed light plane and getting into a firefight with someone - possibly Hinx - in a jeep that had been pursing him.

The Mirror (vanguard of professional journalism that it is) is reporting that conservative Catholic groups are opposing a planned film shoot on a bridge in Rome.
Why, do you ask?
Well, it might disturb a ghost. And not just any ghost, but the ghost of the lover of Pope Innocent X who committed suicide by jumping from the bridge and very nearly didn't get a proper burial.

You would, which is why I think that this is The Mirror stirring the pot because they haven't been given the unlimited access to the set that they think they're entitled to (which is usually the reason for stories like this). But it's just so hilarious that I had to post the story.

Filming of Spectre has reportedly been delayed after Daniel Craig injured his knee. Given that an accident that injures Craig would normally kill you or I, it must have been a big one.

That final moment with Craig looks epic.

I think you will find that it's intended as a nod to the 1960s films, particularly On Her Majesty's Secret Service, which featured similar elements - a mountaintop base, snowy vistas and cable cars. That was the brilliance of Skyfall: Sam Mendes was able to capture the spirit if the early films without being derivative or indebted to them.

Some more plot details are starting to emerge, though they remain unconfirmed:
1) Mexico City will be featured in the pre-title sequence, which has something to do with the Day of the Dead.
2) Mr. White will return, and is dying of injuries sustained under torture. He cuts a deal with Bond to reveal what he knows.
3) Bond's end of the deal is to protect White's daughter, Madeline Swann. Swann works as a nurse at a clinic for the hyper-rich in the Austrian Alps. Bond makes contact with her by booking for a "check-up" ...

I can just see the potential for a new Bond game,Austrian Alps,Snow,Skiing,all for a classic snow mission,akin to the games from years gone by;but of course,the potential will probably be squandered.
Also,why's Craig not wearing a hat?He must be freezing.

It's not really a franchise that has translated well into video games. The likes of Everything or Nothing and Bloodstone barely turned a profit, and with consoles evolving, budgets get bigger, making it harder to break even. So they just follow the path of least resistance, making Call of Duty clones, but after the commercial bomb of GoldenEye Reloaded and the absolute disaster that was 007 Legends, even that has stopped being viable.
The only real model that would work is Assassin's Creed Rogue, with three separate open-world maps that the player can move between. But it's a format that has never been experimented with by the franchise, would be expensive to develop, and would need to be filled with side activities.

I quite like blood stone and loved EoN. Would be cool if there was another but like you said, not much profit in it

The James Bond Brasil fan site is claiming that the first Spectre trailer - probably a teaser - will ship with Avengers: Age of Ultron. They're usually fairly reliable; they have been getting a lot of shots from Rome in the past few days. But they don't give a source for the claim.

@prisonermonkeys: Depending on how far ahead of schedule they are, that might be entirely possible. Age of Ultron doesn't come out until May, so it would be at the right point in the schedule for them to get principle photography wrapped up.
In related news, the Media Research Center (a place that normally covers political media bias) has an interesting piece on the new 'Bond Woman' Monica Bellucci. It sort of confirms that they are now shooting in Rome now, despite the rumors of Pope Innocent X's lover being disturbed by the filming. You can catch that piece here:

Oh, they're definitely shooting in Rome. They've been there for a week already, and filming is expected to continue for another month. I have been regularly updating the Aston Martin DB10 thread with pictures from the shoot, including this clapboard:
As for production disturbing a ghost (I find it hilarious that there was fear Spectre would upset a spectre), that has been resolved. There was also opposition from the city because of graffiti and garbage in the streets that officials don't want in the film, an historical preservation society concerned about damage to a fountain, and from an interest group over plans to shoot in a 2,000 year old cemetery. To the best of my knowledge, all of those issues have been resolved.
Anyway, here's Spectre on the April 2015 cover of Empire magazine:

Hinx is no mere bodyguard - he is an assassin and a high-ranking member of SPECTRE in his own right (with no real details of Christoph Waltz's character, Franz Oberhauser, Hinx is really shaping up as the film's primary antagonist). During scenes in Austria, Bond will try and approach Swann under the guise of being a patient, only for Hinx to abduct her, and Bond will give chase to try and rescue her in one of the film's major action sequences, which will take place about halfway through the film.

so i guess we already saw the glimpse of the major action scenes in the behind the scenes video, also i think Uberhauser won't show until after the climax of the film

Wait, is this Craig's final movie as 007 ? I thought he still has another 2 or 3 movie

Craig is under contract for Bond 25. Anything after that remains to be seen.
As for Oberhauser:
He has his origins in the short story Octopussy in the collection Octopussy and the Living Daylights. Bond travels to the Caribbean to confront Major Dexter Smythe, a former officer who retired to a life of luxury. Bond deduces that his fortune was ill-gotten - it was a cache of Nazi gold that he stole from its hiding place in the Austrian Alps. Smythe murdered a mountaineer by the name of Hannes Oberhauser, whom Bond privately acknowledges as his ski instructor. The story is referenced in the film version of Octopussy, though Hannes' role was cut. It is believed that Franz Oberhauser is the son of Hannes Oberhauser, but he is an original character. It's possible that the name was simply chosen as a nod to the as-yet-unfilmed content.
At the moment, it's believed that Waltz, as Oberhauser, will appear throughout the film. If he is indeed Blofeld, then it's probable that the revelation will come either at the end of Spectre.
