    Yours is angelic and golden, that’s reason for me to believe you're the evil one

    When a new actor steps into the role, I hope a small-yet-skilled studio can gain the rights for some more games. Don't give it to a bigger studio that'll be more focused on their own IP's, but at the same time, don't give us some half-assed mobile game, early. That 'World of Espionage' game can't be the last James Bond title we ever get, it'd be a travesty.

    Why the hell do I have to be the evil one? After all, my icon is angelic and golden, while yours is a morose monochrome. I think you're the evil one here, laddie.

    Only an evil twin would say that!

    ;)

    And only the true evil twin would say I'm the evil twin to take attention away from the fact that, really, they are the actual evil twin. Nice try, sport, but it shan't work!

    Upon replaying Blood Stone, I felt compelled to ask this:

    Am I the only one who, during the DB5 chase, is willing to restart from checkpoint several times just so that I can successfully ram one of Bernin's SUV's into the harbor?

    @jake24, I restart checkpoints in Blood Stone all the time when I play. If I don't like how I performed in one section, either by getting sloppy and alerting guards or simply doing an un-Bondian thing, I will restart and do it proper. Sometimes I'll even restart if I don't get the specific takedown I wanted at first.

    I am like this with other games too, most notably Rocksteady's Batman games. I do the predator rooms as Batman would do them, and if a peep is heard out of me I restart to do the character and the moment justice.

    I didn't know you could do that. I'll have to try that. I restart the driving levels in BS all the time. I'll restart the whole level if I feel my performance isn't Bondian enough. In my opinion, the car sections are the best part of the game.

    Agreed.

    @JamesBondKenya, absolutely. It's a shame we didn't get the next one from Raven.

    @jake24, @BMW_with_missiles, I'm glad I'm not alone in my checkpoint restart sickness.

    Yep! Uploaded it myself.

    It's from the footage shown at E3 2005.

    Interesting! It looked very similar to the actual footage used in the game, albeit a bit more cartoonish

    Depends on your taste. If you love Everything or Nothing, you'll love this one too. It has an original pre-title sequence (originally intended for a Brosnan Bond game before he was given the boot) and additional content written for the game specifically. Red Grant has an assistant with him too in this one. A Bond girl called Eva Adara...

    FRWL really isn't a bad game. The problem is that the film is a spy thriller, the game on the other hand, is chock full of the usual action sequences.

    Do you reckon we'll get an Xbox one bond game ever?

    It's inevitable... if Danjaq gives the license to someone.

    FRWL is a mighty fine action game for me. However, my wish would have been to have an original Sean Connery Bond game rather than basing it on a film. Imagine if we had the DN/FRWL era Connery Bond in an original experience. That would've been my dream come true. A game with circa 1962-1965 setting...

    I'm surprised that didn't happen after EON. One of the features that I enjoyed most, was being able to change Bonds clothes. Going into battle with Bond dressed in a dinner jacket, so classy.

    That's what I obsessively love about Electronic Arts era Bond games. You can clearly see they put too much effort into their products and unlike their successor publisher, they actually cared about the IP. Too many wonderful special features and even hidden levels were wonderful aspects found in both EON and FRWL. I truly wish they stuck with EA rather than giving the rights to the uninspiring COD makers.

    Me too, and now the IP is in the air. Publishers have been expressing interest in the licence, but either no one has actually come to EON, or EON hasn't approached anybody. I've really been craving for a new James Bond video game too, but I highly doubt we'll see one for at least another 5 years.

    We need a developer like EA was during the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube era. Current EA is almost worse than Activision. Rockstar, Rocksteady, these people need to make a Bond game. The games won't be rushed. They certainly wouldn't be annual releases like we'd get with Activision, EA or Ubisoft. They'd be made with respect to everything that's come before.

    Yes, the EA of today represent all that's wrong with the gaming industry.

    Well, no. Konami represents all that's wrong with the gaming industry.

    They're no doubt an issue, but more small time than EA. EA we have to contend with for all kinds of games, especially sports ones, and the annual releases and season passes they peddle relentlessly. Konami are only known because of Kojima, and now they don't even have him.
