New Bond games gets the green light as movie gets announced

MGM studios recently announced that they will be continuing the Bond franchise, with the next installment in the long running series, featuring Daniel Craig, hitting the theaters late 2012.

With this, Hollywood news based website, Deadline.com writes, “Yet another James Bond videogame, which also had been held up because of the uncertainty, recently got the go-ahead.”

Activision recently released two new Bond games- GoldenEye 007 for the Wii and the DS, which was pretty good. And Blood Stone for the HD consoles… which was not so good.

There has been no news on who is working on the new Bond game. Raven, the developers of Singularity, are currently working on a new game in an “established franchise.” It sounds a lot like Call of Duty. But you never know, maybe the next Bond game will be a realistic military based FPS.

Or maybe it will be Eurocom. They certainly showed they do justice to the series with GoldenEye.

We will keep you updated as more info comes our way.

James Bond: Blood Stone Combat Trailer = Freaking Awesome

The all new combat trailer released for Activision’s upcoming 007 title for the PS3, 360 and the PC, James Bond: Blood Stone is… BLOODY AWESOME, YEAH BABY! Oh, yes, the game bears a lot of likenesses to Treyarch’s Quantum of Solace (which, I admit, I liked), but the conbat looks so cinematic and fun, an the visuals… they’re looking great.

I just hope the game has mind blowing driving sections, that would make this a perfect package. Oh well, let’s the wait and watch.

Activision would ‘love to see’ GoldenEye on the 3DS

GoldeneEye 007’s executive producer says he’d love to see a GoldenEye 007 remake on the 3DS, but he says he has no plans for it right now.

“Let’s put it this way I think we would all love to think that GoldenEye may make it onto the 3DS,” Activision’s Julian Widdows told ComputerAndVideoGames. “Today we’re talking about the Wii, but yeah if you were at E3 and you played with the 3DS it’s a great bit of hardware and we’d love to see it on there. But we don’t know, there’re no plans yet.

“I think if Nintendo approached us we’d consider anything.”

Oh yeah? How about Nintendo asks them to make Call od Duty games for the Wii as well, rather than bringing out downsized ports on it a year after the game’s actual release?

GoldenEye 007 is due out for the Wii later this year, it was announced at E3 this June.

Activision: GoldenEye Wii Exclusivity a Good Deal

With the recent announcement of a GoldenEye remake exclusively for the Wii, talks surrounding the game have been floating around- some say the decision is a brilliant one, and that the Wii is the perfect console to house such a title, not to mention the fact that it’s only fair a remake of GoldenEye is made on Nintendo’s platform, just like it was more than a decade ago. Others say the game would have been better off on a more ‘hardcore’ title, that the Wii is not powerful or mainstream enough to host such an important title.

Activision, the most successful, sadistic and evil publisher in the market replied this way: “It’s a great opportunity,” said senior producer Brian Pass. “This game was originally on the N64, so there’s the nostalgia factor for people that are Nintendo fans. So we wanted to partner with Nintendo for this.

“The opportunity on the Nintendo Wii platform is huge. There’s roughly 12 million Wiis in North America. But it’s not really a console that a lot of shooter fans are playing on. So we wanted to offer them their own first-person shooter, that’s unique and exclusive to that console.”

“Maybe it’s because people don’t like using the Wii Remote and the Nunchuck. They don’t like using the pointing device. Now they’ve got the Classic Pro Controller. This is dual analogue stick. It’s got the exact same layout you find on PS3 or 360,” he added.

What do you think? Will GoldenEye be good on the Wii? Or will it be better off on the HD consoles, with all their online and high-def graphics? Tell us via your comments!
