James Bond games after GoldenEye 007 |

What does the future hold?
So we move forward. EA has lost the rights to Bond games and Activision has picked them up. Hopefully they will give the games their own slant and not try to mimic GoldenEye yet again. The next reported game will be a tie in with the next Bond film Quantum of Solace. I’m very interested to see how the new more, shall we say, hard edged, realistic Bond will translate into a game. Will they make him into the classic gadget laden Bond of old, shooting left and right or try to tone the game down too? Activision has an amazing chance to take the Bond games in some very interesting directions and I hope they do more than just cram out film-based games. I’d love to see more original stories and ideas coming from the Bond franchise into the world of gaming. We’ll just have to wait though since Activision hasn’t released a single thing on the Quantum of Solace game yet. As they say at the end of every film, James Bond will return…

I am also a huge james bond fan. However, I will say that the more that I think about it, the more I realize how careful people need to be before playing first person shooter games such as 007. People need to keep in mind how these games can potentially affect them, causing an increase in aggressive behaviors and thoughts. Just something to keep in mind!

What are you on about Brent? Shooters are relaxing, unless they’re really poorly made of course :)

Brent, please give up on what you are trying to accomplish. We are here to play James Bond games. If you wanna discuss politics, there are plenty of forums to do that. We are responsible adults and we will take any actions we commit in our own hands. I hope you understand.

No reason to be rude to the fellow. Brings up a possible point that has been shown scientifically (I do not know the articles off hand, although I’ve read about them long enough to believe they are there, although I would like to actually read some of the research) that for a brief period (No studies have found a long lasting correlation to be found) after playing games you may feel more violent, or whatever the tones of the game are.
However - this is nothing new to media. After watching the Fast and the Furious you can’t tell me your friends don’t want to go use their e-break around the upcoming corner.

My usage of the term rude is a bit heavy-handed. You guys were much more civil than many other responses I have seen in the past. I understand your opinions but I also believe that this is as good as any a place (probably better, cause you’re reaching the directly affected audience) to discuss this kind of stuff.

though brent does have a point on the somewhat possible outcomes of how someone takes a shooter, goldeneye was made in a time before the more realistic games came out that really blurred those lines between reality and fiction. if you play goldeneye, its all polygons and it’s hilarious how fake it really is. if your going to put blame on real violence today on anything, put it on GTA, not that they’re bad games by any means (i still think GTA3 was the best), but GTA really puts you in a world thats literally based off real buildings and neighborhoods, and lets you mow people down and even kill cops.
