Not this shit again.
I agree with the devs, virtue signaling aside, James Bond movies were always a product of the time and followed popular trends.
What media comes out today that conforms to 50/60s culture , norms and social beliefs? Every decade he has been modernized.

Here is the full quote:

MonsterVine: Bond is known for being a smooth talker and, at times, a womanizer. Will we be seeing this side of him?

Emborg: Yeah, you will. But obviously, as they were saying on stage before, the character Bond has evolved. So, he's evolved through the decades, and obviously, we reflect modern values. So it's not going to be your old school Bond, which would just be tone deaf in this day, right? He's a modern guy.

I think they mean Bond slapping broads around. Sean "Hard on Hoes" Connery didn't play around lol. A lot of people don't realize that Daniel Craig hated Bond, read various interviews, miserable tone.

 

[DeafTourette]

Honestly when Idris Elba was rumoured to play Bond I don't think anyone was up in arms about the prospect.

As long as its not a game respectful of pro nouns and purple hair I think it will be fine.

For the game itself, I think it looks like a respectable 8/10.

Yes, there were. Tons on this board.

I was hyped with the game but now won't buy it, I'm tired of seeing wokism ruin classic IPs. Won't support this anymore.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Don't get duped.

Too many fake/spam accounts spreading negativity around here.

Oh shit guys he figured us out, just like Mindseye

 

[Games Bookstore]

Yes, there were. Tons on this board.

I'm genuinely curious now. Do you have any examples (posts or threads?)

He's not a good fit, besides being American. The guy from Tenet would.

 

[Superposition]

I'm pretty disappointed by that douchebag's statement. Now I'll have to wait and keep an eye on the game for woke elements, instead of getting excited.

I have a hard time with the fact that 007 is supposed to be a relevant IP in 2025, movies included. It's done, who actually cares.

Idris is British

I might be misremembering as my search only found a few

Sorry, I was thinking of the other guy, Denzel's son. I like him better, he looks classier and the kind of person that would make a great spy. Idris is too big.

You mean physically big or fame-wise?

Physically. Even Daniel Craig was too big for the role. JB should look athletic (reasonably fit) but not bodybuilder or fitness coach type.

Like a swimmer's body type? I can see that.

More time for devs to add more blur motion.

I like the idea of Tonk Bond.

I think we need to see this avenue explored more creatively.

Give us a Marcus Fenix 007 pls IOI.

 

[diffusionx]

now we know why the game was delayed, it went through internal review and the publisher decided it wasn't gay and feminist enough

MoneyPenny usually wasn't all that attractive in the movies. It wouldn't stop James from flirting/sexually harassing her though.
Bond is a lost cause imo. If you want a woke secret agent, you should have wrote a new character. I don't like the Daniel Craig movies.

For this game, at minimum the main bond girls (not including MoneyPenny) should be really hot and they didn't even do that. I've had bad vibes about it from the very first trailer.
