Activision Commits To Revitalising The James Bond Franchise

Company reveals they currently have two 007 games in development

Hum... I can't wait to play a video game with Daniel Craig's Bond. It's nice to see that Activision is really going to put some thought and effort into the games, and not just crank them out the way EA seemed to do.

It seems like the Bond 22 game is a sure bet, but I'm very excited to see what game #2 will be.

It would be sweet if Game #1 was Casino Royale and Game#2 was Bond 22.

I told you guys earlier.. that I thought they were working on a 2nd game already. Around July I even asked a couple people about it specifically and they didn't answer, which typically means they don't know or they don't want to answer.

That would be nice
I wonder if they would make a game basedo Roger Moore's Bond. Maybe say one of his funest adventure as bond. wonder which one it is the funniest one Moore's was?

TSWLM would make a fantastic game. Think about the possibilities. A ski chase. Gunbattle and fights in Egypt. Racing the Lotus. The fortress. The sub eating supertanker. The jet bike. Fight on the train. Fight with Jaws in the desert.

I dunno, I can't imagine them doing a retro Bond game with Moore, I think that idea died with the FRWL game. I'm going to hazard a guess that the 'other' game they're working on is a stand-alone modern game like EON. Although who knows, since they specifically mention Goldeneye, maybe they're going to do an FPS. Being a Halo fan, Craig might like that

What lets all asume that already their going to work on Bond 22 as a game.
What if they remade Goldeneye or updated it as a online game with sweet graphics!!
the only thing is that how would it be because Brosnan isn't bond anymore, but then again Connery came and did the voice as bond in FRWL.
what do u think the two games are?

This is brilliant. It has been too long between drinks with the Bond games, and now we have two in the pipeline. Activision seem to be taking this more seriously than EA.

I would like the course of action to be Bond 22, and then perhaps an entirely original Craig game or based on Casino Royale, or a game based off a classic Bond movie.

Generally speaking, I think writing material specifically for the games is better than trying too hard to base them on the movies. It's not impossible to base them on movies (I gather that Goldeney was a pretty good game) - but it seems to me that the focus could be better on using the character of James Bond and create the game around him.

Why not do a GTA / Gun style game (e.g. more free flowing with mini missions) for Bond?

Great news!

Now if the games turn out to be Casino Royale and Bond 22, then 2008 will be a better year for Bond than it already is set to be.

Great question - something like this would be interesting. Hopefully Activision will try to fix what EA seems to have squandered needlessly. It's hard to believe that Goldeneye for the N64 seems to have set a bar so high that almost everything since then has been living in it's shadow. Looking back, the graphics on that game were ok, soundtrack was ok, etc, but I still find it fun to play which I can't really say for any game since then (except maybe EON). For the new game, a good online multiplayer mode is a must.
