It is possible (pic isn't mine)
Maybe with people playing the original goldeneye and the world is not enough people will be more interested in creating bond games again
Remember when there was a rumor to bring GE64 to the Wii when many N64 games came out on that platform?

But that was a year ago, and nothing new concerning that game has been reported. It's just a shame, because when a 007 video game is done right, it's a hell of a lot of fun.
Solstice is a one-shot James Bond comic book released in November 2017 by Dynamite Entertainment.
There is just something about the whole thing that still has me wondering about the validity of the leak. The title is rather professional looking, and of all the developers he could have attached to the game, why TellTale? Why not attach another company to make it seem more legitimate?
Interestingly, back in 2014, the president of TellTale himself, said he would like to develop a James Bond game:

And looking at the survey itself, as someone who has taken surverys for video games (HITMAN, Jurassic World, CSR Racing 2, etc.), it looks very similar to the surveys I’ve taken.
I do know about the Solstice comic book, but my gut instinct tells me there is more to this.
Maybe they wanted the comic book to come out first there could be lots of reasons why it got delayed for a year but if it happens while many will moan and groan I will just be happy about a new bond game.
Curve Digital's founder also expressed interest in making a James Bond game. But, to these companies, I doubt Eon will lend them the license. The last time they made a drastic effort with the video gaming license ended up putting a black mark on the license itself, that result being World of Espionage that didn't even last a year.
The leaker sold that image as part of some sort of an event he screencapped it from. It didn't gather any confirmation from Danjaq or TellTale, so it's as legitimate as flapdoodle. We would've known something by now.
Right now, Eon doesn't have any interest in putting the gaming license back into the market. Activision caused both Eon and MGM a great loss dating back to the marketing days of Blood Stone.
I am in the same boat playing goldeneye and the world is not enough on emulator
I would like that, but seeing as they were never added to the 360’s backwards compatibility list, I doubt they’ll be on the One’s.

That's true about Photoshop, unfortunately. I did hear about the founder of Curve Digital wanting to take a crack at 007, but that didn't lead to anything. I'm into mobile gaming, so I ended up downloading World of Espionage... That was hands down the worst James Bond game I've ever played, if you could even call it a game.
There has been some situations in the past where something was leaked, and the company associated with the product went on to claim it was "fake," only for it to be revealed as legitimate later on. For all we know, the screencap of that survey was asking how gamers would feel if TellTale were to get the license to develop a 007 game, but TellTale didn't get the response they were looking for, so they decided to focus on another IP instead.
I do understand why EON is so hesitant about having the gaming license back in the market. I do. I've played all the James Bond games from Activision, and the only good 007 game out of them all was the Quantum of Solace tie-in (Xbox 360, PS3 versions), in my honest opinion. I have not played the Wii version of GoldenEye, which I heard was better than GoldenEye: Reloaded (strictly a port with HD graphics). If EON were to give the game license to a game studio known for developing AAA games, we would get AAA James Bond game that would sell like hotcakes. That would be a win-win for everyone.
GoldenEye: Rogue Agent was backwards compatible. The other games may have not made the cut due to issues with the Xbox 360's emulator.
I'm actually considering buying Quantum of Solace, just so I could play it on my old Xbox 360.
It was for LEGO Dimensions Year 2, but they pulled out at the last minute, leaving LEGO to find another spy thriller which they did with Mission Impossible.
Bond returned to LEGO realizing that they should have participated but it was too late to be put in Dimensions so LEGO actually pitched them a full Bond video game. It was pretty charming actually, a little sad they didn't do it. They'd have so much material to work with."
I still don’t get how a bond video game is this bloody hard to get off the ground but a LEGO Bond game is as good as anything I suppose
Better than nothing I suppose. Those games are very fun. I'd be down
