Well, QOS didn't deliver that, and neither has Skyfall (as great as Craig is and as great as the movie is, that isn't the classic James Bond).
BUT the ending of Skyfall sure did indicate that the producers know it's time to bring JAMES BOND back. It's time for Daniel Craig's bond to fully develop into, "James Bond," or at least his take on that character. Much like Timothy Dalton's Bond, Craig's got a chance to take the iconic character and put his spin on it. So far we've gotten a character under development (a development time that has taken longer than most of us expected, probably due to the disappionting nature of QOS and the need EON may have felt to re-reboot the series in a way with Skyfall).
I'm certainly hoping for more of the classier, smoother Bond in the next one. I'm definitely not looking for Roger Moore's Bond, but something with shades of Connery, Dalton, and Brosnan. I think Craig can deliver that given the right script.
