Topic: Bond game future ideas
I noticed that there is a thread with ideas for Bond 25 so I thought it would be worthwhile having one here.
As a lover of almost all of the Bond games, it’s a shame to see nothing on the horizon. Traditionally, gamers seem to agree that film tie-ins are among the worst of games available, but the James Bond games do not fit this generalisation.
After such poor treatment of the Bond licence in the last few years (i.e the 007 Legends mess from Activision and that awfully buggy app game from whoever), I believe that a new killer game is well overdue.
To start things off this has been my idea for a long time.
James Bond has never been made into a sandbox game but just imagine if they took elements from the Grand Theft Auto and Just Cause series and applied it to a Bond game. Instead they set up the sandbox as the world, and with the player beginning in London, they must make there way to the office, receive their briefing and then follow the leads. Each mission could be a movie plot or even a plot from the continuation novels (no discrimination here) and the character must travel to the relevant country (I.e Jamaica for Dr. No) and complete the investigation. I think this would have been the best way to pay tribute to the 50th anniversary and would be very nostalgic as players would get to relive these movies in an interactive way.
Please post your ideas below.
