007 First Light | State of Play Reveal Trailer (Releases 2026)

Seems like Indiana Jones x Splinter Cell Conviction. Will definitely play at some point. Optimistic. I trust IO to have deep stealth gameplay.

I'm so on board for this, alot of people are most likely being put off by young bond (myself included) but damn they captured the classic bond feel and tone.

Keen to see gameplay.

also i'd rather this was great like hitman and didn't have "cutting edge" visuals, but i guess that's me.

I'm sure the graphics and gameplay will be totally serviceable.

The story and characters… ehhhhh we'll see. They probably made him young to neuter the character.
 
A short trailer that managed to get "Mom" in twice somehow.

I sense DEI influence all over this.

Bond looks weak and his female boss looks too strong. I bet they threw that scar on as a last minute change once they saw the tide turning against "modern audience" dogshit no one actually buys.

Sick of it.

I'd say IOI struggling with the direction on this.

Boy bond

All the action moves weren't gameplay. The woke have done so much damage to the industry.
 
Btw, is it just me or a Bond game must be in first person to feel like a proper bond game? It's like with RE, the games must be in third person, or they don't feel like Resident Evil.
 
Those driving and shooting sections look jank af, I feel bad for the developers that this is probably releasing the same year as GTA6.

Bond getting rejected by a bunch of women just in the trailer is a choice, if they are playing into him being a younger and less refined version, they need to be careful not to completely take away or subvert the male power fantasy thing that the franchise was pretty much built on. If he has zero rizz, they might as well have not used the IP.

It's Amazon... There will be no avoiding it, unfortunately.

At least Bond is a white guy who we are assuming is straight. So there's at least someone working behind the scenes to keep it as a somewhat traditional take on Bond.

Bond getting rejected by a bunch of women just in the trailer is a choice, if they are playing into him being a younger and less refined version, they need to be very careful not to take away the whole male power fantasy selling point.
Looks like Bond got put through the modern audience machine. The tone resembles quippy Marvel stuff more than traditional Bond. Like you said, that's a choice...
 
Looks like shit

Nathan Drake as James Bond

Fortnite colors and aesthetic

Super woke and retarded

I guess Amazon is intent on destroying another venerable franchise, ruining The Lord of the Rings wasn't enough for them

I feel bad for IOI having to make this trash and pretend it will be good
 
Looks good, they're clearly going for an Uncharted globe-trotting sort of vibe. Best of luck to them. I just need this to play like Hitman and I'm happy. Hopefully it's Hitman with good combat. That's all Hitman is really missing...

- IO can't do proper character models/facial animations, everything looks always stiff

- Terrible looking 007

- Looks like a mix between Uncharted and that Jason Bourne game of the PS360 era

I just never liked IO.games and this doesn't seem like it'll change my opinion about them
 
Looks fucking awful.

I thought this would be one of the best matches ever, the high end Hitman look and clever gameplay.

Instead what we get is some embarrassing cartoony jank with last gen graphics. Complete with the scenario everyone joked about when Amazon got control of the franchise - a James Bond Jr spinoff.

So disappointing.

they are being ambitious trying to reach uncharted/naughty dog level of quality.
hope they can pull it off, but dunno
 
Generic with obvious girlbosses everywhere. The old cliche "he's a rulebreaker!" "That means he's perfect for the job!" just doesn't do it for me. At all. Bland, insipid, meh.

Don't really know what it was exactly I was expecting, but however low were those expectations, it managed to fall short of them. Significantly.
 
This isn't even close to Uncharted level of quality and never will.

This

I'll have to bring up again the sub par character models, facial animations, general animations etc...

They just don't have that pedigree/aren't skilled enough for something like this.

The Hitman games may be good but they all suffer IMO from what i described, too many stilted/robotic animations, general jank and so on so forth...

Action setpieces - check
Gun shooting - check
Fighting under fireworks - check
Funny gadgets - check
Car chases - check
Stealth and espionage - check
Lots of ladies - check
Smartass quips - check
Generic plot with ludicrous villains - seems like it will check

I honestly wonder what some of y'all expected a James Bond game to look like.
Were you expecting Cyberpunk 2078 or something?
 
Definitely agree about him being far too young.

As an ignorant American, what made him not British enough?
IMO he doesn't look durable enough to join the Merchant Navy by how he carriers himself, never mind being a Commander in the Royal Navy.

And I think you could pick literally any UK boy band member (present or past), or any UK footballer, even Beckham - when he first emerged from United's academy onto the world stage - and they all have a subtle British weathered veneer to their look that comes from the realities of coming from a nation that endures highly changeable weather all year round.
