James Bond 007: Blood Stone

Activision Confirms a New James Bond Game for 2011

Following Bizarre's James Bond 007: Blood Stone, Activision is planning to release a new James Bond title this year, the publisher announced during its Q1 2011 investor call last night. Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg mentioned the next instalment in the ongoing 007 franchise, while talking about the company's numerous other franchises for this year.

“For the balance of the year, we plan to launch games based on the best-selling X-Men and Spider-Man franchises, James Bond and the toy phenomenon Bakugan as well as the latest release in the long-standing Cabela’s Hunting franchise, which we’re expanding this year to include new peripherals and an incredible Kinect experience,” he stated during the latter part of the call.

Given the mixed reception to Blood Stone, it'll be interesting to see what direction 2011's James Bond title will take, but with Wolfenstein and Singularity dev Raven Software reportedly on development duties, it could be that 007 returns to the FPS genre for this one.

Ooooh could be interesting if it's an FPS since Goldeneye is far better than Bond's previous 2 outings and I like Raven Studios. Problem is that it'll have to be as good as Goldeneye to stand a chance against other FPSs.

Either they delay it or it will end up a rush job. We need a Bond Film not a game.

Activision is creatively bankrupt. Will the lowest common denominator ever take notice? Activision is banking on NO they won't. Enjoy morons

It better be an FPS. I didn't even bother playing Bloodstone all because of the third person-ness.

@3 You do realise Activision is a publisher, not a developer right? They've always been creatively bankrupt because they don't have anything to do with creativity.

Been a Raven fan since 1995 and if anyone can do it, then it's Raven. I'm dying for Singularity 2 and Quake 5.

Shame that Raven won't be able to continue with Wolverine. Thanks Activision. True Crime was looking really good too, well done. Can't wait for a Cabella's Hunting peripheral, if there is one thing i could always make more room for it is plastic crap.

I hope it returns to FPS, Goldeneye was the best, Quantum of Solace I enjoyed, never tried Bloodstone, so hopefully this will be better, and I hope they do the FPS with the third person cover like QoS did.

I was going to say 'meh' but if it is being done by Raven it has potential. That Wii rehash of the classic Goldeneye was embaressingly bad, and most Bond games are known for being mediocre.

@6 yes theyre publishers but still decide where to put money in, they could invest in new creative games but are too scared so they just milk the old stuff.. again

Because Blood Stone was such a great game?

I guess every big name can get a sequel nowadays. They don't even need to make good games anymore.

If they can just perfect how to do a James Bond story...Blood Stone was getting there, but it was nothing compared to Nightfire or Everything or Nothing. Perhaps they will recycle the CoD engine for this one, assuming it is an FPS.

Here's hoping it will return to a game like QoS because I really enjoyed that. I had interest in Bloodstone until I saw the reviews.

@21 - the CoD engine is a modified Quake 3 engine, believe it or not

Are you kidding me? Yet again Activision takes off a team and places them in a genre of gaming they proberly know NOTHING about and then will most likely sell the game with ZERO PR in the same time frame as the latest Call Of Sell out resulting in this game selling like crap and the team being fired.

Which brings me to my question. Who the fuck still wants to work for activision?! WHO is that desperate for a job in the gaming industry they'd work for a publisher company who will most likely fire them at the first sign of danger.
