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
 
Which Bond this shadow is supposed to depict ?
Looks like some british WWII ace fighter with the collared leather coat
Very interested anyway by IO's take on fleming's spy.

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.

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.
 
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.

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.
 
Who has the rights to the games?

Amazon has for movies and television now, but does that extend to all entertainment?

I'm terrified IO won't be given free reign and we are gonna get some modern audience nonsense in this game which has never been IOI's thing

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.
I'm a purist of both. It's actually pretty awesome to have two quintessential Bond games in first- and third-person perspectives.
 
The big thing here is that, if the game flops, we all know what that means in a follow up coming up anytime soon....more so as we have waited more than a decade for a Bond game..
 
Hitman is the best franchise. Time for them to turn something like that into a James Bond game. Spy thriller with more room for action.
 
Can't wait to see this. Hitman was so good, I have faith they'll nail this.
Let's just hope this bond isn't a purple haired, half shaved female. That silhouette could be anything
 
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.
 
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.
 
Hey Pierce is my favorite Bond.

Pierce Brosnan is truly a goat actor that has gotten better with age.

Also Mobland is fucking elite.
