I think the next game should focus more on the adventure and travel rather than just the action. Here's my wishlist for the next 007 game:

-Game developers must pass the screenplay to a real movie screenwriter for possible edits and suggestions (especially for Bond's dialogue which was a bit lame in EA's Nightfire).
-A movie director (preferably action, even if not so popular) should be on-hand to advise on cut scenes, camera angles, and story progression. (They did this for MAFIA, really good job.)
-The entire game should be one giant mission, with the player able to choose how 007 will go about the business.
-Q's lab should have numerous gadgets and quite a number of Astons and BMW's with different capabilities. Players should be able to choose which items and vehicle to take. These will greatly change the nature of the game for each person who plays.
-Each locale should have some important places to visit (or infiltrate) as well as some not-so-important places, clubs, or casinos (which sometimes hold story elements themselves).
-Players should be able to also change from a number of wardrobe selections while at a certain locale. They can stay at a hotel while investigating.
-Scripted event-driven pieces at any location in a place can help drive the story along, but in an order dictated by gameplay. So it is possible for a player to finish the whole mission while missing out on a few details.
-Q, as in some of the movies, should occasionally rendevous with Bond sometimes to issue special vehicles and items (ex: Nellie) for special sections of the mission.
-And, of course, an improved First-Person engine to play the whole thing on.

Lastly, I wish they'd make skins and voices for Connery, Lazenby, Moore, Dalton, and Brosnan so that players can choose the character they want to be 007. Should be wild in multiplayer matches when you have ALL the 007's on one team.

What do you guys want in the next 007 game?

Nightfire's dialogue WAS written by a 'movie screenwriter'.
Just because someone's worked on a film, doesn't mean they're any good...

Well perhaps the good doctor is right. Maybe they should at least get Gardner in on the project, too. So they can have 007 novel-writing influences to go with it. Maybe that will help the events move along in a more thrilling fashion.

What do you guys want in the next 007 game?

you have GREAT IDEAS but perhpas a bit demanding

I want a big improved multiplayer mode:

for one, MORE GOOD SKINS!!!!! 2 games and there was never a Zoe skin, no M, Q, monypenny, robinson, jack wade, felix liter, Boothroyd, tanner, zucovsky

and where is blofeld? Dr. No? Trevelean (yeah, that's spelled wrong)? Red Grant?

basically, more and better skins

MORE IMPORTANTLY: GET RID OF THAT BLOODY GOOD VS BAD MODE!!!!!! in twine and NF we could not have good guys and bad guys on the same team because MGM or someone wouldn't allow it (grrrr)

more classic levels, I wish we had a volcano level from YOLT, stealth boat from TND (kind of like pheonix base), PIZ GLORIA!!!!!, stallite from goldeneye and so on

and the fort knox was NOTHING like the one form goldfinger. I know, I've seen the film a million times, I've MEMORIZED that place and it is completely different form the NF version, same with atlantis from TSWLM

a good multiplayer driving level

keep multiplayer levels: escort, sky rail, ravine

okay, those demands were more outragous then yours, aye

[rafterman]

I liked Nightfire, not a great story, but hey....I just want a longer game....actually what I want is an update of GoldenEye for the new systems, pump the graphics, add some new intros and some new levels, but that multiplayer is still one of the best...

[Thunderball8]

I was revisiting Deus-Ex and I was thinking....What if the player can choose between a Connnery, Roger, Dalton, Lazenby, or Pierce model of 007 at the start of the adventure...

....And each 007 character has different attributes and abilities...
Like Dalton's bond has faster weapon switching and more HP, Connery's Bond has better hand-to-hand and stealth skills, Pierce's Bond has an edge in accuracy and seems to gain more info from dialogue...and so on....

That definitely puts in a new shade on things...

I say hand it over to Ubisoft! After Splinter Cell, Nightfire just seemed like Doom when GoldenEye came out. (Ironic huh?)

[jokemaster]

An original Multiplayer mode, something like CS or TFC for Half-life, make something original for MP, something like a misson. I agree with most of your ideas. oh and Ice, Red Storm should make it, not Ubi-soft if you want a Splinter Cell type game

[superracer0022]

and also make sure the pc version is not neglected, and release the development tools for the pc version for making maps skins and models for the game

[BONDFINESSE 007]

please make the game long, they have been much to short, although the PC version of nightfire seemed way long

Go Ubisoft!

Wow that game was good.

I also would like a less linear game...I don't want to be shown exactly where to go - I wanna be able to figure that out myself.

That's what was so good about Goldeneye, most levels you're given one MASSIVE enviroment to explore - and you're running all over the place trying to find things...I like it.

[PaulZ108]

Ubisoft would be the perfect choice. I used to think that the third person perspective wouldn't work at all, but after playing Splinter Cell and the demo of that new Indiana Jones game I think it'd be a nice refresing change and would definately bring a more cinematic feel to it.
