    I liked the motion controls for Goldeneye. I thought it was much more fun actually aiming rather than just pressing buttons.

    Id be all for EA coming out with a Bond trilogy game. A remastered Agent Under Fire, Nightfire, and Rogue agent all on 1 disc with a combined MP experience. Id love to see those games on the frostbite 3 engine. Wishful thinking I know.

    After QOS and Bloodstone which I thought were great games, I was disappointed with Legends. I am hoping for a new storyline and game. I really like Bloodstone and would hope they do something along those lines. Another one of my favorites is Nightfire. Both had relative independent stories, but the writers did a great job making it feel like a Bond movie. I would like to see a game when playing it you could say,"you know, this would make a great Bond movie"

    I think the only reason I'd want EA to get the rights back is so that an HD collection would be possible. Other than that, they made it clear they don't want it. My list still goes like this.

    Ubisoft
    Sony
    2K
    Edios

    Really anybody else besides EA and Activision isn't worth it. SEGA and Capcom aren't strong anymore, Atari and Codemasters are jokes. And I can't see MGM/Sony lending out the rights to a specific developer (Crytek, Bethesda) instead of a publisher.

    After playing MGS5 recently, I really want Konami and Kojima Productions to get the license. The FOX Engine is the perfect engine for Bond.

    I want Ubisoft. I've said this before but the Ezio Assassin's Creed games were Renaissance Bond films.

    Ezio= Bond. Charismatic, deadly, gets all the girls, etc.

    Assassins= MI6. Secretive, shady organisation, but they're the good guys.

    Templars=Quantum. Secret criminal organisation with "people everywhere", lots of powerful members (their leader becomes the pope at the end of the 2nd game).

    Leaonardo Da Vinci= Q. Gives Ezio all his gadgets.

    Mario= M. Gives Ezio his missions/targets. Machiavelli is Robert Brown, a supporting character who takes over in Brotherhood when Mario dies.

    The Turkish Assassin leader from Revelations= Kerim Bay. Ezio arrives in Istanbul, meets him, teams up with him, becomes friends with him until he has a sad death at the hands of the baddies.

    The girl from AC 2/Brotherhood=Tracy. I forget her name but she has a lot in common with Tracy. A girl the hero actually falls in love with, but she gets killed by the villains.

    He does introduce himself with "It's-a me, Mario".

    I vote for UbiSoft. Splinter cell and Assassins Creed alone give me the confidence they would do a great job. They would also make it available for the PC rather than just gaming consoles. see my above comment, I believed they could write an excellent story line with detective work and plot twists separate from an existing movie. UbiSoft would put Bond back in the marketplace for gaming.

    I give my vote to UbiSoft as well. Make it like a cross between Splinter Cell and Hitman and add a dialogue box like in Mass Effect. I want to be able to approach a level anyway I want; guns blazing, stealth, or use dialogue to charm my way through.

    as long as it has a FPS MP Ill be happy. 3rd Person MP always sucks imo.

    How about no multiplayer? How about we get a Bond game that focuses more on the single player than the multiplayer?

    Agreed, the last few Bond MPs have been very disappointing. They just need to focus on single player.

    Games ever since GoldenEye 007 on the N64 have proven that it can't happen. That was the one game that broke the mold, that showed that single and multiplayer could co-exist, but ever since...

    On the other hand, co-op missions like in Perfect Dark could be cool. But yeah, multiplayer can be left away.

    This is ridicolous. James Bond is one of the most successful and famous movie franchises, and all they manage to do is 2D games for mobile phones? We are not in the 80s anymore, look at what real videogame companies can do.

    I can't wait until James Bond gets public domain, so that serious videogame companies will use the character properly and do justice to Fleming's books, and EON will stop ruining it.

    Not all smartphone games are 2D. Check out the iOS/Blackberry Dead Space game some day, or Republique, which is also on PCs in addition to iOS devices.

    So we don't even get a proper game anymore, just a mobile one? EON are great with the Bond films but it's pretty clear that they don't have a clue when it comes to the games.

    It's not just about pleasing fans either. Do they have any idea how much money they could make if they actually gave us a really good game for a change?

    some games are 3d open world ones Dark Knight Rises for example. Which I got to the third level before it was taking up to much memory and I stopped carring. So we could get a "decent" bond game however I would love it if Glu created a bond game for Xbox one.

    Glu Mobile Inc., a leading global developer and publisher of free-to-play games for smartphone and tablet devices, today announced that the company will partner with EON Productions and MGM Interactive to create a new free-to-play mobile game based on the James Bond film franchise. Scheduled for initial release in summer 2015, the game is inspired by the franchise's rich history, themes, characters, and narratives. Glu's Bond game will be available to mobile audiences worldwide across all major mobile platforms.

    "Bond offers a deep catalogue of thematic inspiration for gaming. We are honored by the opportunity to be the first to bring such a storied franchise to free-to-play mobile gaming," said Niccolo de Masi, Glu CEO. "We look forward to delivering a never before seen gameplay experience on mobile for the passionate worldwide community of Bond fans."

    "Glu has an established track record producing high-fidelity mobile games and we are confident in the company's ability to deliver an experience worthy of the Bond name," said Gary Barber, MGM Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

    Beginning as a character in Ian Fleming's series of novels and short-story collections, the James Bond film franchise has captured the attention of audiences worldwide since the release of "Dr. No" in 1962. Together, EON Productions and MGM have built James Bond into one of the most successful film franchises with the twenty-fourth film in the series due in November 2015.

    "We look forward to collaborating with Glu to offer fans of the Bond franchise a completely innovative experience on mobile devices worldwide," said David G. Wilson, EON Vice President of Global Business Strategy.

    OK, so this is different and something new. Maybe, it will also be half decent. At least it's free. It may seem cheap but this new angle could well work, it does appear to be the future for mass gaming and opens Bond to a wider audience in some ways. I'm excited to see what is developed.

    Mobile gaming doesn't interest me. And seeing how badly Activision handled the Bond licence, I don't feel like I am going to be missing much.

    At least I still have AUF, NF, EON and a working PS2.

    Graphics whore, huh? That's sad. Ignoring good games just because they don't "look good". Quantum of Solace PS2 was a fantastic looking game, so was Metal Gear Solid 3.
