Bond games need to be like this. I literally got chills watching this. The action, the humor, the side banter. The graphics are beautiful and on-par to a Bond adventure. Even the part where Drake is swinging from the rope over the water has that "A View To A Kill" vibe to it, when Roger Moore is hanging from the blimp.
If Bond franchise want's the video game sector to be successful, this is a great example to follow. I would go a step further and say to employ the development and story writing team of the Uncharted franchise and have them pen a script and make a game.
Any thoughts on the video/my opinion?
the side banter - for a Bond game, eh, not so much.. a little witticism sprinkled in is fine - but not as much as was in this game.. the banter in the game reminds me more of Indiana Jones than James Bond (an Indiana Jones played by Chris Pratt lol).
i would love to see what Naughty Dog would do with a Bond game - between the Uncharted Series and The Last Of Us, they've made quite a name for themselves with high quality games... i just wouldn't want to wait the 4-5 years between Bond games... ideally, i would like a Bond game in between when films are released - that way we get new gaming adventures while we bide our time for the next film.
Do you have any guesses as to when the gaming license might be picked up again?
The guy who created the Walking Dead game series has voiced interest in picking up the series, but I don't think that would work out too well. The Walking Dead games look like comic books. I'd rather it look more realistic and capitalize on the current next-gen graphic technology, like Uncharted, The Last of Us, GTA, etc.
if anyone were to do it, it would have to be a relatively small company willing to gamble - like how Rocksteady did with Batman: Arkham Asylum... i think major players have ruled themselves out, or else i imagine it would've been picked up by now.
Can you imagine if, following GoldenEye 007 for N64, that the Bond series got to the level of Call of Duty? Becoming a huge, worldwide phenomenon with each game release. I hope that we can see that sometime in the future - a revival and explosion of the Bond game franchise.
i just don't think they knew what to do with the product... much of Bond's gaming history on consoles has pretty much gave him a Rambo/Terminator style of gameplay, where you can run into a room with a machine gun and just blow away 40 people in a minute... thats not Bond... I don't think they fully got that, or even cared - while I (and others) didn't mind games like QOS or even GE:RL, to me, they felt like COD betas... Blood Stone was really the one game I felt Activision got right (thanks to Bizarre Creations as well) - it was an original story set in the Craig timeline of films that featured the mysterious Quantum organization (or something like it) - it was original, and it was fun to play from a gaming standpoint.. but they never followed up on it - the sales were poor, but the reviews were good.. i think if they would've stuck with that formula and spent another 2-3 years on a new game like that, it would've made more money.. but instead they packed it in and shoveled out a useless and pathetic 007 Legends game..
Most people when they see a Bond on the shelves game they think cheap. This is how i feel.
IMO, thats a stereotype (most of the time accurate) about most movie tie-in games.. you'll find the occasional diamond in the rough, but they are few and far between - because their sole purpose for being made is to cash in on the success of the film it's associated with... thats why stand alone games, when it comes to Bond, are the way to go for the future.
I know that this will never happen but think of how cool it would be, the could even make it where you can play as the villain and have it like GTA where you can kill everyone and then escape the cops.
see, now i did it - whenever i get thinking of the possibilities of what you could do with a Bond game, I start thinking of level ideas..
imagine a part in the game where you have to go undercover and disguise yourself as a window washer of a tall skyscraper - just so you could listen in on conversations without drawing attention.. you sneak your way to the roof, lower yourself down to the right floor - and start your spying... but in the process, your cover gets blown - you try to ride that little platform back up to the top of the building as quickly as it goes while dodging gunfire coming from inside - maybe one of the guards jumps onto the platform with you - so you engage in some fisticuffs, in which you can dispatch of him(them) by throwing them over the side - so they plummet to their death... the guards manage to shoot out the cables on the lift, but you jump and grab a hold of the cable just as the platform falls.. you shoot the remaining guards with your gun, then use the cable to swing into the building... not sure where else to go from there other than having to fight your way back down to the ground floor so you can get back to your car and gtfo...... just a thought. lol.

Ah ok, not really that interested in it then, will probably also have tons of micro-transactions.
