Sound like promising :

Maybe 2016 ?!

Let's hope it won't be a PS4-exclusive, though.

If Sony behind it which I doubt then its PS4 exclusive ..

Doesn't really sound like there's anything here, it's just a site speculating that there might be a game on the horizon since there happens to be a new film being released this year.

Exactly my feelings after reading it. This is speculation, nothing more.

Well that was a bit of a let down. 

[Jeff007]

They should make a phone app game this time around.  As long as it isn't a COD rip off I'll be happy.  

[FlemingBond]

looks like another made up internet story with no substance.

let's just hope it will happen

Nope, they should make a proper big next-gen game for all consoles. Enough with COD clones, arcade games and phone apps. Just give the license to Crytek UK and let them do a Bond FPS à la TimeSplitters and Perfect Dark.

I have no desire to see Bond go back to the world of FPS games.  The Bond games need to be third person moving forward.

While I tend to agree, a game engine where there are context-based first person situations (such as providing cover for a NPC, or a rail-based situation like shooting out of a moving vehicle) spread throughout a primary third person environment would be agreeable to me.

Something along the lines of say Nightfire?

Bingo! I should have made that connection when typing my post... loved Nightfire.

Edit: Thinking back now, Nightfire was ALL FPS wasn't it? Or is my memory a bit fuzzy?

Mostly, yes. However, at key moments it would switch to 3rd person such as scaling the castle under the bridge in Austria. It also some of the better vehicular levels in a Bond game. Personally, I feel that it was the only good Moonraker adaptation. I'll have to give it another playthrough soon.

[Call Billy Bob]

As will I, now that you mention it.

[tdalton]

I would hope that the franchise could aim a bit higher than Nightfire for future game adaptations.  Not that it was a bad game, but it was just one in a long line of mediocre cash-ins that we've had since GoldenEye 007.

 

I really want someone to take on the Bond franchise and treat it as a flag-ship franchise, not a simple movie cash-in that they release whenever there's a new movie to make a few bucks.  Their aim should be higher than anything the franchise has seen previously, GoldenEye 007 included.

[thecasinoroyale]

I agree, simply jumping on the 'Spectre' bandwagon and assuming there should be a 007 game out in future.

 

However, I remember before '007 Legends', we were promised to some "game-changing, Bond blockbuster to celebrate the 50 years of the franchise"....and look how THAT turned out.

Absolutely.

[bond_azoozbond]

I think there is some ideas and plans that we don't know .. Something similar to the announcement of the mobile bond game and the new bond comic .. We will be waiting an announcement soon ..

[Gothamite]

I honestly did really enjoy the QoS game and I feel like it had plenty of moments of real flourish, but there is no doubt that an entire gaming generation was wasted where James Bond is concerned. The last truly 'great' Bond game was Everything or Nothing. 

 

In a world full of third-person action adventures with free-running, gadgets and vehicular aspects to them, it's maddening that no one has thought to apply this to Bond, let alone a great, innovative studio like Rocksteady Studios. A great big free-roaming epic with Ken Adam-inspired setpieces and stunts reminiscent of the Moore and Brosnan eras and meaty physical violence akin to Dalton/Craig. Like the Arkham games, make an entirely original Bond not tied to the films or books and create an aesthetic to match. We even have SPECTRE back under the Eon flag, there's no limit to the story potential.

 

There's truckloads of potential, with no one to shepherd it into being.

Bond was hurt by the CoD craze. That was what gave us the abysmal 007 Legends. Blood Stone was promising, but was never properly marketed. I would prefer to wait for them to find the right developer before they resurrect the franchise. The game series needs its Sam Mendes. Rocksteady comes to mind....

This. An Arkham-style Bond game with an open world and the detective/investigative aspects? Sign me up.

That would probably be the way to go, short of Rockstar acquiring the license.  Maybe now that Rocksteady is ending their Batman series, there could be time for such a project.

[Trevelyan 006]

Just let Rocksteady or United Front Games make a movie-accurate video game for each of Sean Connery's films.

 

Then again, I've always thought Live and Let Die would've made a great video game (if handled in a unique and fun way).

Or maybe videogame adaptations of Fleming's novels?
