Maybe, but think about how much wandering around, talking, thinking and tailing Bond does in films like 'Dr.No', 'Goldfinger', 'The Spy Who Loved Me'...he spends as much as time as audiences will get on screen exploring new places to get the clues/missions and find his targets and that adds to the whole adventure we are taking with Bond.
I'm actually getting angry at the possibility of a game like this where we simply become the CHARACTER of James Bond, with references taken from the films and the books, because this is after all where he hails from, to create a unique, original gaming adventure.
Beautifully detailed levels...gorgeous music...atmospheric encounters....complex characters...witty humour....puzzle solving...tense action....a decent story....
Sounds brilliant, and I'm annoyed we can't get it!
I think the problem is that most movie licenses go to companies with lots of lobbying power. A publisher gets hold of a popular franchise, farms it out to a development company, usually results in horrid to subpar results, end result is said publisher makes money off fans of said franchise.
Also I think that companies like Rockstar or Bioware would rather spend the time and effort developing their own stories rather than an adaptation of a franchise. Another factor is EON themselves. How much input does EON have in the development of a Bond game and would they allow a radical departure from the norm.
Ah well. We'll see how good 007 Legends is. Personally I'm really excited to see what Rockstar does with the spy genre with Agent which is described as
Agent takes players on a "paranoid journey into the world of counter-intelligence, espionage and political assassinations during the height of the Cold War at the end of the 1970s
Oh and another game suggestion for the creating your own Bond feature, allow an option so that Bond can resemble any of the 6 Bond actors =)
