the only Bond that matters
They could just do a Hitman game with a Bond skin and I'd eat it up. I think best outcome is a Hitman game with a little more action oriented stuff would be so kino
007 First Light announced by IO Interactive, game reveal this week

Oooh, good catch. Add this to the speculation that this is an origin story, and maybe the game is set in the 50s and based on the early Bond novels rather than the films. Would be a great way for it to escape the curse of living in GoldenEye's shadow.

To be fair, car chases at 60mph down the M2 in Kent, with wheels falling off when they collide would be hilarious.
Also, Bond desperately trying to get a message to someone by hot-footing it to a phone box and then having nobody answer, so having to drive 60 miles to them. You could even keep all the casual mysogyny and bigotry with knowing looks to camera by the female characters etc to inject some comedy - a la Blazing Saddles.
Alas, it wouldn't work because you would have to make 50s Britain diverse and modern, with meta humour, to avoid getting absolutely slated in reviews.

I hope is completely different than Hitman and will play nothing like it.

For all we know it's in 3rd person. How much it will differ from Hitman, that we don't know.

Wait isn't this the unannounced Microsoft published IO game?

Please be good Please be good Please be good.
For too long we have been deprived of James Bond games.
I do have some concerns given its being developed by IO Interactive, the recent Hitman games have some good qualites, however they also feel so wooden, i hope this game overcomes that.

I love Hitman but I hope it's not like Hitman. The perfect template for a Bond game already exists, they just have to improve on it.
Go away GoldenEye purists.

Was thinking the same thing. Give me the mission list but let me determine how I go about completing it. Couldn't do that with all missions in GoldenEye but you could with a decent number of them.If it's anything like Hitman, then there'll most likely be multiple ways to complete a mission. It could be decent, especially if they use a bit of Goldeneye DNA.

We haven't had a new 007 game in so long, and the majority of them released by Activision were trash so I'm really looking forward to this.

Yeah, the last few were essentially CoD games with a 007 skin.
Harsh, Timothy Dalton is the best Bond, he was 20 years ahead of his time and Licence to Kill is still the GOAT of Bond movies.
Nobody else!

Its about fucking time we see this. IO is the perfect dev for the job, so my expectations are high.

I'm a purist of both. It's actually pretty awesome to have two quintessential Bond games in first- and third-person perspectives.I love Hitman but I hope it's not like Hitman. The perfect template for a Bond game already exists, they just have to improve on it.

Pierce Brosnan was a terrible James Bond. Daniel Craig was way better.

Yup, that's exactly what they were, and not even the good COD games either.

Fully trusting IO Interactive, It will be a great experience.
Hiding the face might mean they used a real actor.

OOF at Daniel Craig. Men really need to stop letting their fashionista girlfriends dress them.
Good proof that money does not buy class ugh
Hope we'll ever get a bond as good as Mr Brosnan, but i'm afraid the... meta nowadays is more action oriented

I have played every Hitman from the very first game, but I really hope this is not just a reskin of that series. I would be disappointed. And no purple hair woke shit either.

I can't see them doing a simple reskin. Especially since they've worked on it for so long. Plus Bond would deserve better.

They've been cooking this game for half a decade now, if they don't show some gameplay I'll be disappointed even if it's just a few seconds of it.

This is factually true
The problem with Bronsan and late era Moore was they were in bad movies
They always did their best with what they were given

Friggin finally. Been waiting for this. Bond is my #1 franchise by far. Book, movie, games - love it all. This was announced so long ago, I had begun to lose hope on updates.
