Well, DUH, I had to ask because you asked the EXACT same question as I asked in the title of the thread AND the same question that has been discussed in over 60 posts. It baffled me as to why someone would ask a question that has been answered so many times already, so I naturally wondered if you were talking about Bond movies or movies in general. DUH Red Grant!

I would very much like to purchase (and play) OHMSS, FYEO, LALD, LTK & TSWLM being my top choices, but I own every Bond game that has ever come out except Rogue Agent. I like that one idea of EA making games based on every single Bond movie instead of them trying to come up with new storylines that won't please a majority of the fans...

I heard Sean wants to do another game. If that's the case, then perhaps they should consider Goldfinger or Thunderball.

If they continue with adapting the movies, then I wouldn't mind bringing back Moore and Dalton, and respectively adapt The Spy Who Loved Me and The Living Daylights.

All of the Bond films must have game developers drooling. But I must say I would love to see one based on Dr. No. - there's quite a few scenes that could make a great basis for a game.

Oh yes, Live and Let Die would have a supercool funky soundtrack. :)

If FRWL is a success, the road is clear for all of the films to be turned into games. :)

I would enjoy the golf level of Goldfinger...that opens up a world of possibilities alone...

I'd love to see ANY Roger film made into a game, so why not start with an updated version of LALD? They could replace 70's blaxploitation culture with contemporary hip-hop culture (however, they would have to find an alternate location to replace New Orleans for obvious reasons :) )

I would love to see games based on TSWLM and Moonraker. Getting a chance to drive the Lotus Esprit and the Bondola would be worth the price tags alone.

Great call on that one!

"Slassenger 7?" (or something similar wans't it?)

Goldfinger has great possibilities...the flying, Ft. Knox., the ranch... the hotel and card game at the pool.

I think -Never Say Never- would make a great game. It's still Connery. It's still Bond. I'm not a lawyer...I'm a fan.
The training mission, motorcycle chase, underwater, the dude with the eye patch getting smacked by the mean bltch. >:) Bond jogging away from the scene of Flatima Bush's death (was that her?) in white boxers and dress shoes! Too much fun just right there.

I always thought it would be cool to have one giant game encompassing all of the films in the series. 20 stages, levels based on the main action setpieces with spying stuff to get from one action bit to the other. That would be simply coolness personified.



When I was a nipper I used to design video games, well they were just 2D games on a bit of paper, nothing special at all (wish I had kept them) anyway I did one for this, was fun, used to design Mario games as well :) Perhaps I should have sent them off to Nintendo.


Well this is how I would do the levels now.



DR NO - The lair without a doubt, starting with escaping from the cell.
From Russia With Love - Boat Chase
Goldfinger - Fort Knox
Thunderball - Disco Volante
You Only Live Twice - The volcano
On Her Majestys Secret Service - Piz Gloria
Diamonds Are Forever - The Oil Rig
Live And Let Die - The Underground Lair
The Man With The Golden Gun - Goes without saying - The Fun House (would be ace)
The Spy Who Loved Me - The boat thingy at the end
Moonraker - I would use the level from the Goldeneye game
For Your Eyes Only - The pool area
Octopussy - The Air Base
A View To A Kill - The Stables/Medical Room/Warehouse
The Living Daylights - Opening training scene
Licence To Kill - Drug Factory
Goldeneye - The Facility from the game (though make it harder and combine it with The Dam and The Runway to make one huge level.
Tomorrow Never Dies - Opening scene
The World Is Not Enough - The underground area
Die Another Day - The plane



If only.............


I'm not really a fan of driving levels in James Bond games.

We had a teaser of what Moonraker would be like as a game on the Goldeneye 64 release, think it would be very good.

While Thunderball and OHMSS rank highly on my list of 007 movies to be made into games, I think The Spy Who Loved Me and Licence to Kill would be the easiest to do without drastically altering it. Let's face facts, FRWL as a straight movie adaptation would be a boring-:) game, a lot of walking around and uneventful driving. So they had to add stuff to make it fun, which is all well and good...but I wanna see a more faithful reproduction, and I feel those two movies would be the easiest to make into a game without adding needless characters and/or scenes. Just making levels out of the situations and envrionments found in the movies themselves would make for a terriffic game.

I'm something of a budding game designer (it's what I'll be going to college for), and I wrote a treatment for the weapons, control scheme, and levels I'd like to see in an LTK game, if anyone's interested. And if somehow EA picks my game studio to do a 007 game sometime in the future, you guys get first dibs on screenshots or anything. :)

It's got to be a Roger. I'd say The Man With The Golden Gun because, like FRWL, it doesn't have too many iconic action sequences so a few more can be popped in with no trouble. Plus it seems possible to get Christopher Lee back too.

That said, Spy Who Loved Me would look great.

Oh man oh man oh man, I'm almost looking forward to FRWL more than I'm looking forward to getting an Xbox 360.

Almost. Hope it's backwards compatible at the get-go!

I'm only quoting this because I think it's a really really sweet idea. :)

As cool of a movie as LALD was...it hasn't aged entirely gracefully.

ALL of Daltons, all the spectre involved movies, and they can only be voiced by either Connery or Dalton, unless they did, Live and Let Die (which we know wont happen), would have to be done by Lazenby, cuz id love to see wut he'd do to it game wise.

I bet they do a Roger one next so most likely it will be : The Spy Who Loved Me

View Post



Yeah, Sir Roger is older than Sir Sean so I hoping they'll do one with him. TSWLM is perfect for video game material, you've got stolen subs, a Lotus Espirit car than becomes a sub, Jaws, Stromberg and his evil undersea empire. Lots of fun to be had there.

It'd be a great game, but it's not the most commercial choice for an adaptation. That said, I suppose FRWL wasn't either, although at least that has the Connery cachet...
