And that was great about SCC - it wasn't hardcore stealth action games as previous one and I also agree that it shouldn't have 'Splinter Cell' in the title. But the gameplay would be perfect for James Bond. My money on UBI.

Who I would LOVE to have the rights
-Ubisoft (giving it to Ubisoft Montreal, who always puts 110% into each game)
-2K Games (Makes good games, each one with care)
-Sony (They will NOT be giving it to Naughty Dog, sorry guys. But they have other great studios)
Who I would be alright with having the rights
- EA (Will never happen but they obviously know how to make Bond games)
- Capcom (Games are hit and miss, but their good games are REALLY good)
- Edios (They make great games, but they don't have a big budget)
- Cryteck (Kind of unrealistic, but hey they took Homefront 2. They're great at shooters but can they do a Bond game? But it would be kind of neat to have Cryteck UK work on a Bond game considering their history)
Who I DON'T want to have the rights
-SEGA (Anyone play their Marvel games? Awful.)
- Microsoft (Besides Halo and Gears of War, they don't really treat game exclusives that well)
I'm sure I missed some but these are my opinions
No worries, @thelivingroyale. He's banned.
Again. B-)
My broken blood vessel fixed itself when I saw that detail. :))
Agreed, Naughty Dog are too busy with The Last Of Us and, highly likely, Uncharted 4 for PS4's debut. But Studio Bend, who did the excellent Vita version of Uncharted, seem to have no current projects.
Plus, they have spy game expertise with Syphon Filter.
Great realistic list, yes SEGA would be worst for me (out of the above) and many people are saying good things about Ubisoft too, I've never been crazy about them, but to be honest there are not many companies that would treat the Bond games with as much disrespect as Activision did. What annoys me most is the (if true) fact that they're cutting the contract early, obviously believing there's not much money left to be made with the franchise and selling it early. Obviously Activision seem to believe that names sell more than an actual good game, and probably gave very little funding to the franchise. A disgusting waste of gamers time and I hope 007 Legends will be held as a warning to anyone attempting to take over the franchise thinking any old crap will do...
...and...rant over!

"Well, I understand 007 Legends has a very short life expectancy... so your mistake will be short-lived. "
No, they've released other games for both platforms. But by the time they get the next game out, it will be on next-gen consoles. So the 'Playstation 4' project and 'XBOX 720(?)' projects, which are expected to come out soon, likely holiday season.
@JamesPage, can you confirm if Activision quit or if EON took the rights from them?
I was wondering that, too, but I surmised it was the latter, hence the yanking of the games with such haste and mystery.
Now waiting for who is taking over
Thanks for confirming MI6.
Didn't only two games even do that?
What is?
I feel EA did a lot more. Especially if you count both versions of TWINE and the GameBoy releases of NF and EON. But I see your point in saying how I hope the next publisher can last for a good long while
I'd like it if EA got the rights back but that probably won't happen.
Like I said, we got rid of Purvis and Wade and now we've gotten rid off Actvision. Brilliant!
Legends looked crap but we have to be thankful because without it Activision might still have the licence.
