In other words, you don't want another Bond game. After all, Agent still hasn't so much as gotten new screens, let alone been released. And if they do get the license and make a new game, it'll be six-seven years before they make a second. I love Rockstar, and I love their games, and I think their games are well crafted, but do think they can come out a little faster.

something i made up..... one can dream right? :/
That's too dark a shadow to crawl out from, sadly. People just loved GoldenEye too much.
It's not hard to do, just make a game with the same gameplay of GoldenEye but updated graphics. Except no one has thought about it.
I just recently got done playing The Last Of Us and the PS4 rerelease of GTAV - both had phenomenal stories, and awesome deep gameplay... give me a Bond game like that... BS was on the right track - but then Activision threw all that away so they could treat Bond as a beta COD knock off.
That was the Rare logo I just saw on the screen!
It looks a lot like the opening of the classic GoldenEye 007 for the N64 I'm seeing here! My friend skips the gunbarrel and we get to the title screen, which is... exactly like the GoldenEye 007 title screen, but with Craig's picture on the dossier instead of Brosnan's.
ThunderHead appears to be the title of this game, underneath which reads "007 GE2". My friend selects New Game, and there are then two options.
Single Player
Multiplayer
He selects Multiplayer, and then there's another set of options.
ThunderHead
GoldenEye
He selects the GoldenEye option, and then there's a further two options.
Nintendo 64
Nintendo WiiD (because, yes, the name of the console in my dream was the WiiD... It saddened me and made me laugh at the same time)
These were graphics options, and you could pick between the original N64 graphics or the newer graphics! I know that the Halo Anniversary rereleases do that, but for some reason, in this dream I was excited. Either way, he picked the WiiD graphics, and dear God they looked amazing. Think PS4/X1, but with far better detailing, shadowing... just plain everything.
Oh, and by the way, the multiplayer option that was picked before? That wasn't for the old-school split screen multiplayer we remember, though that was an option on the title screen. This was co-op on the single player campaign.
Sadly, I woke up before I got to find out what ThunderHead was about, but the updated version of GoldenEye was nothing short of amazing. Everything looked the same and different at the same time, and even though Craig's picture was on the dossier at the beginning, during the GoldenEye portion of the game, it was Brosnan my friend and I were co-oping as.
I really want this game to become real. I really do.

So they are just guessing but that being said I do hope and pray that at E3 we at least get the developer I would take almost anyone at this point... Prefferably Ubisoft or Naughty Dog but I would be fine with almost anyone as long as the game is good every Devloper who had Bond for multpile games had some great games and some bad games (lest we forget Rogue Agent and 007 racing from EA)
We will know soon enough i guess.
the only difference between Activision and every other developer that had the Bond license, is that i felt like all those other developers tried. The only time that I felt Activision tried with a Bond game was Blood Stone - everything else felt like betas for their other franchises, and they merely just wanted a quick cash in... EA for my money was the best developer Bond had - AUF, NF and EON were terrific games, they might have hit duds with FRWL, RA and 007Racing, but like you said, sometimes you have to take the good with the bad... except with Activision, besides 1 game, we were shoveled crap for years and were duped into thinking it was something better.
See I disagree I quite like Goldeneye (was playing earlier) Quantum of Solace, Quantum of solace for the Ps2 and bloodstone
However much like the movies it really has been forever and a day since I played the ps2 games I think this year I will replay them and give my overall views of them
What do you mean a tablet game is going to be released this summer?
EDIT: Nevermind I googled it :D
EON is Die Another Day 2. Extremely OTT (two invisible cars, a secret base with a force field, etc), crap ridiculously autotuned pop/techno theme song, NSA agent Bond girl, etc.
Bloodstone is clearly influenced by Quantum Of Solace. It ditches all the traditional Bond elements (gunbarrel, gadgets, quips) in favour of a more "realistic" approach, there's a chase across rooftops, a story that's meant to be grounded in reality, Bond uses his smart phone a lot, there are fancy fonts telling us where he is whenever he goes to a new location, etc.
I think the next Bond games should create their own Bond (get a great voice actor who is actually enthusiastic about it instead of just getting the current film Bond (or a past one) to phone it in). Their own M, Q, MP. Or maybe don't have Q and MP. It's up to them, do their own thing, create their own brilliant take on it, their own Bond universe.
Look at Batman for example. The Arkham games are in their own, R rated (in contrast to TDK, which was a 12a/PG13) universe and it shows. Arkham Asylum came out right after The Dark Knight but it's nothing like it. The Dark Knight is a realistic crime thriller. The Arkham games are very comic book, from the way Batman moves and fights (and looks) to the grotesque cartoony villains to the supernatural elements. A far cry from the realism of TDK. But it worked brilliantly. The Arkham games are thought of to be some of the best games of all time.
I'd love if if, when there is a new Bond game (a shit mobile game doesn't count) they took this approach, but I'm not holding my breath. We got lucky with Rare and EA but it's clear EON don't care about the video game licence. When they do finally get a new publisher we'll probably end up with a knock off Call Of Duty game using a butchered version of the latest films story.
