Okay, lets say the big wigs at Activision one day up and said "Thats it. We don't want to waste anymore personnel on a series that is not Call of Duty. We are giving up the license for Bond." Who would you like to see awarded the Licenses for 007. Me personally,

I'd like to see Konami get the Bond license. Specifically, Kojima Productions. Being a very big fan of the MGS games, and the level of detail, could you imagine what they could do with Bond? Besides, Hideo Kojima is a Bond fan so its kind of a no brainer, right?

Ubisoft. What they've done with Asssassin's Creed is just amazing. The online is so fun, too!

I don't know if I'm supposed to suggest something here - since I'm so not a gamer - but maybe I would be if the started adapting the books. "Casino Royale" a la 1953 and so on...

Also, my suggestion is off-topic... sorry.

Its okay. Non gamers can answer. Are you saying a straight Book to game adaptation?

Also, Harkin. I know right. I got to play Assassins Creed the original for PC for one night before my comp went splat, and was hooked. In retrospect maybe I shouldn't have gone to bed that night.

Even Considering Some Of The Pluses One Comes Across In The Tom Clancy/Splinter Cell Games Ubisoft Has Developed/Produced In Their Past. I Could Agree With This.

An Official license for 007 Lego!

[dinovelvet]

Rockstar

[Jaws0178]

Who licenses the Lego games?

[The Shark]

Rockstar Games.

[Blonde Bond]

Naughty Dog. But because I bet they love their freedom and are sony only developer, they won't ever make a licensed Bond game. Same with Rockstar. Too much freedom to do what ever they want to do and develop.

So I say ubisoft. Most likely candidate.

[Jaws0178]

So I think the consensus is Ubisoft. I still like Kojima though

Who licenses the Lego games?

The Lego games are licensed by Warner Brothers Interactive... so I don't know how much of a pain it would be to ever see a James Bond Lego game, but I'm sure it's not going to happen anytime soon.

They (along with developer Traveller's Tales) have worked with Fox for the first two Star Wars Lego games (III was the Clone Wars which WB owns) and Disney for Pirates of the Caribbean, so I guess it COULD happen. As far as I know, however, it sounds much more likely that one of the next games down the pipeline could somehow be Lego Lord of the Rings (to tie into the Hobbit movies) but I don't know how definite that is. Since there are Lego sets for Toy Story and Cars, I would assume that those are the more highly likely options.


As for my personal choice, I guess I would have to go with an off-the-wall company like Valve, but I don't think I'd be alive by the time the game came out.... and I doubt Jonathan Coulton would be "still alive" to write a Valve Bond video game theme song. Although that would be INCREDIBLY FREAKIN' AWESOME!!!

Have they ever made any licensed character games before? Their Tom Clancy brand games are still basically their own stuff with the Clancy name slapped on it. It doesn't seem to be their cup of tea. I assume if/when Activision gives up the Bond license, someone like THQ will pick it up.

I like the Rockstar idea but I would also be happy if Eidos got a crack at a Bond title. Eidos has done a great job with the Hitman franchise and the previews for the new one look great.

I really thought Activision was gonna be amazing after seeing what they did with Spiderman and Call of Duty. I personally thought QOS was the best Bond game since Goldeneye64 and was hoping for another strong followup. Bloodstone sucked real goat testicles and I'm not that impressed with Goldeneye reloaded, I thought it would be better. If I wasnt a bond fan I def wouldnt have bought the 150 double o version let alone get it altogether.

Also I posted an awesome idea I had for a future Bond video game, one that wouldve been perfect to coincide with the 50th Anniversary. Imagine a game that has 23 or 46 missions, each one the climax and/or the pre title sequence of each movie. These would be the most action packed morsels of each Bond film.
It would be real cool to play as Sean Connery on Crab key, George Lazenby ski chase leading into bob sleigh chase on Piz Gloria, Roger Moore in Space with Moonraker Lazers, Dalton blowing up cocaine trucks in the end of LTK, Pierce pre title scene of TND, and Daniel Craig doing whatever he will do in SkyFall. These are obv just some examples. There are some films that have more action than others warranting them to have 2 missions rather than just one. The possibilities are endless, It would have the potential to be the greatest James Bond game ever. The video game doesnt have to run on a single storyline rather have the best bits of Bond from the series. Bond Fans would love it and it may cause casual gamers to become bond fans by reinvigorating interest in the older films. They could call it Bond Legacy or whatever. tell me what you think, this would be my biggest Bond Video game fantasy, And theyd obv have to make an online multiplayer that rivals COD not the choppy one I feel they had in Goldeneye Reloaded
