Bond 23 to Get Video Game Tie-in
Least surprising news of the year.
UK, January 12, 2011 January 12, 2011 January 12, 2011

Bond 23's confirmation brings with it the unsurprising news that a tie-in game is being primed to accompany the film's release.

Deadline reports that a game has been given the go-ahead – and it could well be the title that Raven Software is seemingly working on.

Bond's enjoyed some mixed video game outings of late, turning up in the critically lauded Goldeneye reboot and the less well received Blood Stone.

Bond 23 has been slated for cinematic release on November 9 2012.

Typical.

Cool! Thanks, Mharkin.

Yay! A game in the same vein as Blood Stone is fine by me!

I want a sequel to Blood Stone!

As I said in the other thread. We'll probably get the Blood Stone sequel this year. The Bond 23 tie in is something entirely different.

Yes! Is this a dream or what?? hahaha

Terrific Bond 23 news this week! Looking forward to the game when it's released.

I doubt there will be a "sequel". It didn't sell well so at the very least it won't be marketed as a sequel. Of course that assumes there will be marketing at all.

The Raven game and this tie-in are two separate games. A tie-in is a no-brainer. Who will be doing it is the question. I suspect it'll either be Treyarch or Raven; potentially it could be Infinity Ward. Whoever isn't doing the Call of Duty for that year. That's just a guess though. At this point, I'd hope for Raven. Their adaptation of Wolverine was awesome. Infinitely better than the movie. (Not to say I want the Bond game to be like that - just that they did a good job with it.)

I'd imagine the Bond 23 licensed game will be it's own thing, unrelated to the Raven release. We'll get something else this year. If I remember correctly, we didn't even know about Blood Stone until July 2010.

As long as it's an Eon/Blood Stone-esque third person actioner rather than another mundane FPS, I'll be happy.

Give it the feel of Blood Stone, the charm and ingenuity of EON and you're laughing.

It pained me to see the flak that Bloodstone got. That game has given me much enjoyment since I got it and was a perfect antidote to the Bond-less 2010. Hopefully we'll get the game this year and another next. Will be interesting if that is the case if the game that comes out next year will simply be a tie-in to Bond 23 or an original, like how Nightfire was when it came out the same year as Die Another Day.

I do hope it'll be released for PSP!... So far there are almost none (just FRWL, I think).

Good find, Mharkin.
