    That's way too far to wait. But can we do something about it? :D

    how long after the teaser for skyfall did it take until the trailer come out?
    the more i think about the timing of the preannouncement the more i think it could be a possibility

    A former artist on bloodstone is now working for crytek, i wonder how many more from that studio are on board. could be a spiritual follow up. that lasts longer than 6 hours and has more than three multilayer levels

    Here's the difference guys. In 2012 we KNEW there would be a Bond game that year. We knew Eurocom and Activision were working on it. For this, we have nothing. No publisher, no developer, nothing. All we can do is hope.

    I would imagine though there should be little to no trouble creating a game based on the films locations using the cryengine . what would they need to port, character models and ppk gun model?
    what you could see here is a repeat of Quantum of solace, the games rights got bought up and a verson of call of duty was released(which was a better damn game than then last two for some reason)
    We can assume that the deal has just gone through and how they go about announcing it will take two weeks to a month unless an attempt was made to showcase a game based on the character was made to secure rights then a half made game might already excist.

    I talked with a guy who works on the marketing section at Crytek .. I asked if the partnership was with a movie license but he said :"We can't say who our partner is yet, so what you will see online is just speculation and guesses".

    I did but no specific time was mentioned .. This guy show interests in star wars and Marvel but Im thinking if EON had a deal with Crytek to make bond games similar to Batman Arkham then they are on the right track ..?

    This would be awesome news. We need a Bond game with some real depth and complexity similar to Arkham.

    Well, mate, Rogue Agent was extremely panned by the critics they had to scrap the entire IP and anything that connects it to a sequel. Even though, I would have loved to see a less arcade-themed shoot 'em up Rogue Agent game with more Bondian elements than heavily relying on science fiction, it will not happen. I think the entire existence of the game is that for long time they wanted to create a spin-off with another character in the lead. That's since the Jinx film project. So, EA did their own. The outcome wasn't welcomed.

    Because of the bad press I gave the Quantum of Solace and Bloodstone games a miss - are they worth playing now (seeing as I could get them dirt-cheap I reckon).

    Going forward I would love the Bond games to move away from the FPS genre as James Bond has a licence to kill but he's not a mass-murderer!

    I was checking Son of Roma that game was 3rd person developed by Crytek in 2013 , and its really great .. I would say Crytek could deliver a great 3rd person bond game ..

    Blood Stone is definitely worth checking out; I love it myself. Don't care for the next-gen QoS, but I found the PS2 version great and far more meaty than its "graphically improved" cousins.

    This is Crytek, not Traveler's Tales, so no Bond lego game this time. I'd love to see that though, and they could do it by era. 60s, 70s, 80s, on and on. I don't know how they'd account for all the different actors that've played Bond though. Maybe they could just design a Bond that combines aspects of all of them and just keep that look consistent for each movie they adapt? We can dream...

    Blood Stone is definitely great! But, it's more like an interactive movie rather than an actual game. Very scripted, doesn't give you enough liberty with controlling your character. The GoldenEye 007 remake and its sequel, 007 Legends are not worth it, that goes for the PS3/360 Quantum of Solace, as well. But, the PS2 version is terrific.

    We need another top down (or third person) Bond adventure game with narrative rather than shooting. Put a short poker/baccarat game in there. Please refer to my avatar.
    The top guy at Telltale Games wants the Bond franchise... They could do wonders with it!!

    @OnlyManWhoCan You should definitely give Bloodstone a go. I can highly recommend the PC version. It runs very smooth and works beautifully on 3 screens if your in to that.

    I haven't totally finished QOS on PC yet because it didn't play as good to me. I'm going to give it another shot soon though.

    Thanks for the advice, chaps - unfortunately my only option is to get the 360 version of each, but I reckon it's still worth a punt for completeness sake.

    Apropos of nothing, did anyone play the multiplayer of Agent Under Fire? Like all other Bond multiplayers since Goldeneye 007 it was a pale imitation of the N64 game but for one feature: the grappling hook.

    I seriously must have spent hours grappling from platform to platform like Spider-Man, as you could send out a second hook mid-flight.

    It's funny that this cool feature in a middling Bond game is a precursor to the excellent Spider-Man 2 game and the Batman: Arkham games

    @OnlyManWhoCan, the grappling hook was also present in Nightfire, as well, speaking to that of the multiplayer matches. It was rather neat, as it emerged from The World is Not Enough, first. :)

    Oh, and despite run-and-gun thing has been overtly done with Activision's tenure, and even though I am in for more narration less shooting video game (but it still has to be a shooter, in my opinion), I wouldn't bet on Telltale. They wouldn't make a video game, they would just make a total utter interactive film with quick-time event strategy. That is a major downer for me.

    i disagree... i've played their Back To The Future, Jurassic Park and Walking Dead games.. and that is not something i would pay $60 for in a James Bond game... the head of Telltale speaks a lot of truth in what he says about how gaming studios have treated the character, but that doesn't mean Telltale should make the game - it would be nothing but button mashing and timed Quicktime events with very little freedom for exploration...

    the perfect Bond game is a hybrid of Splinter Cell and Assassins Creed, with a narrative style like The Last Of Us - not a 3 hour long flash movie that occasionally lets you play.

    You wouldn't play $60 for a Telltale game.

    So long as the game is more Splinter Cell than Assassin's Creed, I'd be fine with that mixture.

    Me too

    True stealth gameplay has been sorely missing from 007 games

    Also the lack of casino gameplay is relatively annoying

    Blondstone is one of my favorite Bond games. It could look better but it's no where near bad enough to bring the game down it self. It fits in well with the Craig movies.
    QoS on the PS3/360 is alright but you would be better off getting GoldenEye: Reloaded, which I consider the best Bond FPS.
    If you decide to buy either let us know what you think.

    Well, Blood Stone on Nintendo DS had a level where you play Hold 'Em Poker against Pomerov.

    Yes but that level is not on the 360 a huge shame in my homer opinion

    Well, at least we have a Blackjack level in The World is Not Enough for the PlayStation Classic. :)
