Activision Confirms New Bond Game For 2009

007 to become an annual fixture for gamers

Treyarch Has Big Plans For 2009 James Bond Game

Developer already thinking about the follow-up to Activision's 'Quantum of Solace'

Whoa! Big news. Good news. Nice scoop.

Hope it's an all original story like EoN.

[Matt_13]

Cool! I'm really looking forward to the QoS game, this is good news that they'll crank one out next year too! Do you think it's that racing game?

[deth]

this is a mixed bag for me... often cranking out a title a year means a significant loss of quality, especially in the gaming industry... and especially now that development cycles are a bit longer overall than they used to be. Frankly, a new game every 3 years would be better imo...

Mmm, but if the games they're making are good...? I certainly have no objection to a new Bond game every year. A good way to fill in the gaps between films too.

if it's the same dev team making it... then I have a hard time believing it'll be good. It's just too short a timeframe...

My son's going to love killing his dad at these.

It's not. That said, Treyarch will likely release a Bond game in 2010 to probably coincide with the release of Bond 23 if Eon stays on track for a film every 2 years.

The plan was to release a Bond game every year. So in that respect this really isn't news, but it does confirm that another Bond game is far enough along for a 2009 release.

[deth]

well, we'll see. 'and when the time comes, even I won't want to say I told you so'

[Professor Dent]

Cool. Some original stories would be nice but I'd pass on the driving only game. Too many bad memories of 007 Racing.

[Qwerty]

Nice to see they're going to keep things going at a steady basis so far.

[sharpshooter]

Great news. Their first offering, QoS, looks to be a solid start. I hope the second can continue that sense of energy and spirit, whatever it may be.

[Quantumofsolace007]

will they be doing games with Daniel Craig's bond or perhaps going back and doing folms like Live and let Die or On her Majesties Secret service.

[dogmanstar]

Or what about Craig's Bond in LALD or OHMSS? My guess is that they will do original stories with Craig's likeness--though the first idea would be cool.

I wouldn't want the first suggestion to take place. I would like either original stories with Craig, or film adaptions, OHMSS most of all.

especally if they create a level based on Bond sneaking around Piz Gloria no weapons.

it would be cool.

[DamnCoffee]

This is indeed VERY good news. The only concern I have is if the games wull remain in first person. If we did eventually have a film based game, especially On Her Majesty’s Secret Service I would LOVE for it to be completely in third person. I want to see Lazenby all the time.

[chriso]

Great news! Hope the new Bond game will be a new 007 racing.

The ultimate Bond game would be a game which should include scenes from every Bond movie. So you start playing a level from Dr No and the last level would be one from QOS. It would be awesome if Activision could develope such a Bond game in the near future.

This is brilliant news, i'm very much hoping for a film adaptation.

[dinovelvet]

This is brilliant news, i'm very much hoping for a film adaptation.

I dunno, I would assume they'd want to use Craig's Bond again, so perhaps it'll be an Everything or nothing style game not connected to any particular film.

[YouKnowTheName]

I'm not sure that would work. the reason this game (QOS) has to be a film tie in is because you can't set it anywhere else. Before CR Bond isn't a 00. After QOS we don't know what happens, and the films are back to back, so nothing can be set in between.

I think it will be more of a spin off. Maybe a driving based game or some such. I'm not sure how a direct sequel, even if it's not based on the films, would work.

I hoping for a multiplayer based game, like Quake 4 or Turok Rage Wars (if anyone remembers that). Splitscreen, online, all the playable Bonds they can get, arenas based on classic films, levels editors, all the trimmings. Like Perfect Dark had, but way more so.

[bond_azoozbond]

it's look like a game based on bond 23 with driving section and all things ? I'm wondering who behind the 2009 bond game and how it will be ?!?

well that is why i feel redoing say OHMSS as a bond game would be cool.


However perhaps the end of QOS does indeed impact the next 007 game.

[LazyAmerican24]

I was recently thinking about how awesome it would be if they adapted one of the older Bond films for a game. I mean they did from Russia With Love(Connery), Pierce made 5 games, Craig has QoS and the next one in 2009, how cool would it be to make a game out of TSWLM or TLD even OHMSS would be cool as a game. Running around as Roger Moore or Tim Dalton beating baddies in 3rd person would kick major wouldn't you agree.

[sharpshooter]

Yep, it would be. I’ve been wanting an OHMSS videogame for a while now. I hope Activision would be up to the task, because it would have to be of high quality - since the film, soundtrack and novel are. We wouldn't want them shaming the brand.
