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…
