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.
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".
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...
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.
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?
"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.
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.
