    All I want for the next Splinter Cell game to have is a remake Splinter Cell Chaos Theory Spy Vs Merc.

    I just want old man Sam (Michael Ironside), back in a single player game, low on action, high on stealth.

    Ironside is Sam Fisher nobody can really replace him. Playing Blacklist does not feel right without his voice.

    How about for a game adaptation of a 007 book? Some of them definitely could have potential. For Special Services, Icebreaker, any of Raymond Benson's books, Carte Blanche, just to name a few. In the case of FSS and CB, there is potential to make it where you can play as a character other than Bond.

    I didn't have a problem with Eric Johnson, unlike a lot of fans. However, I would like to see the original Fisher return, along with a return to hardcore stealth like the early games, with Fisher looking like he did in GR: Wildlands.

    I've said that for years.. EON own the film rights I believe to lot of the post Fleming material, so no one else can take it... They are sitting on all this property, why not put it to use in a vg and release them between films.

    What I said in my previous post. I feel like the plot of Double Agent hurt the Splinter Cell series. They should of kept the same cast and gameplay from the first three Splinter Cell I think. Killing Lambert and ending Third Echelon made the series get worse.

    Great idea, but I just worried about 007 turning into Marvel and Star Wars and getting too much at once. People need to breathe. However, MGM/EON aren't putting out 007 as much as they should or have before.

    Recently got a PS2 (not a typo) for a birthday present, so I've re-acquired Agent Under Fire and Everything or Nothing! I'm a little rusty on AUF, but so far so good on EON!

    I recently rediscovered my old GameCube and Xbox.. And have thought about blowing the dust off my old Bond games.. I tried recently with GE on N64, but I was a disaster with the controls.. That N64 controller was so counter intuitive, I don't know how I played the damn thing as a kid lol.

    Its different mediums, I don't think it would be a problem.. Just no yearly releases in both... In theory it would look like..

    2019 - Film
    2020 -
    2021 - Game
    2022 - Film
    2023
    2024 - Game

    I respect that timeline. As long as books and graphic novels are coming out as well. I'm happy as long as James Bond still has his adventures.

    Between a TellTale game and a Lego game, I'd gladly take the Lego. At least the player character is controllable. Unlike TellTale's interactive movie tactics that I despise to no end.

    TellTale is actually doing away with their dated engine, and is going to be using the Unity engine going forward. The Wolf Among Us: Season Two and their Stranger Things game will be the first games to utilize it. I hope that leads to major changes for the gameplay.

    If you guys have a Xbox Live Gold membership, they are offering SC: Conviction for free on Sunday as part of their Games with Gold promotion. I'm looking forward to going through the game again after all these years and streaming it.

    Not sure I agree here. Isn't widely varying quality kind of normal for licensed games? I can't really think of a single film-license based game franchise that isn't littered with a mix of turds and gems. As far as I'm aware the current lack of Bond games is due to the combination of the lackluster reception of 007 Legends (a rushed COD clone) and the abysmal mobile game 007 World of Espionage. Prior to this double-whammy of crap the Bond game franchise had a healthy mix of good and mediocre games.

    Under the old Electronic Arts, the Bond franchise was very healthy. It was MGM and Activision who went hand in hand and killed the Bond video game franchise in 2010. It was done for then.

    Healthy is a bit of an over statement
    So let’s look in terms of quality and interest

    Goldeneye 1997 was well recieved
    Tomorrow never dies was not
    The world is not enough was well recieved
    007 racing is not
    Agent under fire was well recieved
    Night fire was very well recieved
    Everything or nothing was well recieved
    Goldeneye rogue agent was not well recieved
    From Russia with Love sadly did not sell well even though it was good
    Quantum of solace was ok recieved
    Goldeneye reloaded was well recieved and was a good game
    Bloodstone was disappointingly recieved largely due to be mistake of making it the same time as goldeneye
    007 legends was portly recieved

    So yeah we can point to Activision but the ups and downs of the franchise is really to blame ...

    I would blame 007 legends 007 racing and Goldeneye rogue agent equally

    Rushing to match a film would also be an issue but it can be done.

    Plus a lack of interest in espionage games period is also a huge issue people want to shoot nameless zombies rather then get emersed in espionage

    I might be insane but am I the only one here who sometimes daydream about a Nightfire remaster? Picturing Nightfire in my mind with better graphics, official VAs, and an overall improved game?

    A nightfire remake would be glorious. But i don't think it will happen "officialy".
    Except if you want to see Daniel Craig in it *shudder*.
    (Nothing against Craig, just a bad idea)

    I wouldn't call it remake since a remake requires development from scratch and different design, I wouldn't want them to do what they did with GoldenEye 007: Reloaded, which was awful. I stand by that.

    But, a remaster with somewhat improved physics, graphics and bringing Brosnan to record Bond's lines? Oh definitely. Just don't submit too many changes. Keep that Quake style gameplay as it is.

    I'd be ecstatic to receive a Nightfire remaster, as long as the gameplay wasn't altered, particularly since it seems like that's the best we'll get on the Bond gaming front for quite some time.

    I just want a Bond game (and a proper one - no cringe-filled mobile game).

    Something I was thinking about today, does anyone have one of those VR headsets? Imagine a Bond game on one of them.

    I'd love that so much, but I think the best we can hope for is whoever gets the licence next taking cues from how Nightfire did things. Sort of a spritual successor.

    A Bond VR game consisting of nothing but Bond's sexual exploits throughout the series. Shatters all video game sale records at a lightning pace.

    Bring Michel Legrand on board to compose the soundtrack.

    @ClarkDevlin, unfortunately the entire soundtrack is comprised solely of audio bits of Stacey screaming throughout AVTAK. Gotta take the good with the bad!

    That's a definite Game of the Year material.
