Looks terrible

The vibe is completely off for Bond, considering this is based on a movie series you'd think they'd aim for the same cinematic look, instead aim just getting Telltale Games vibes from the cutscenes.

Bleh!

 

[Roufianos]

Wtf was that. Expected something gritty, not a comic.

 

[RedC]

Why does the James Bond model look like it was based on Tom Holland?

 

[HRK69]

This is just Indiana Jones and the Great Circle with a different skin

 

[Draugoth]

 

[Wooxsvan]

 

[kevboard]

that legit looked horrible. I hope their gameplay presentation will look better. because... like... what?

 

[SCB3]

No, not feeling that, Bond is far too young and not British enough tbh

Ironic that EA actually got Bond right in the 2000's really

 

[Moses85]

 

[Hideous Snake]

I love it

 

[VulcanRaven]

This looks very good. I wasn't sure about young Bond at first but that trailer got me very excited.

 

[Tokio Blues]

Uhm. I really liked it.

 

[GigaBowser]

switch 2 same day releese??

 

[ComputerBlue]

Need it

 

[The Dead Flag Blues]

Not sure about the young look of Bond, but the game looks good.

Definitely agree about him being far too young.

As an ignorant American, what made him not British enough?

 

[SJRB]

He looks like he drinks soy lattes instead of martinis.

 

[OneBigPuss]

Its actor Patrick Gibson - Dexter from Original Sin

 

[R6Rider]

Looks awesome so far.

 

[SCB3]

I mean first of all hes not Posh or Scottish at all like Bond is, they've marvelised him

 

[Deerock71]

Wow. Complete opposite reaction from me. That trailer legit gave me goosebumps, and the action with Hitman DNA might give me a chub.

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

guess were truly in the era where gameplay doesnt sell games

 

[Killer8]

Young Bond looks classless and the game resembles more a shooter than a Hitman-style game.

Bond by IOI turning out to be a total monkey paw wish.

 

[ComputerBlue]

I'm a huge 007 fan and I think this looks great, maybe that's why I think it looks great because I'm a fanboy but I don't see the issues others are complaining about.

 

[Flabagast]

does not look exciting at all imho

 

[ProtoByte]

I don't hate it but it was far off from a slam dunk. For one, the accent. Maybe it's just me, but I think it should be a little more refined and regal.

Next, the look. Where tf are my brown eyes??? Also, he looks too much like a normal 20-something Brit... should be a little more distinction and watchfulness in the face.

 

[SCB3]

Weirdly enough Hitman Absolution was a great Bond like game, a bad Hitman game but would've suited Bond a lot

 

[Success]

Looks fucking awesome!

Of course, the old man GAF part of this forum will always cry about how it doesn't hit their nostalgia points.

He looked like Tom Holland as James Bond Jr

 

[Sentenza]

It's literally the most promising game they showed in the entire evening.

 

[T4keD0wN]

Visuals dont impress, but looks like my kind of game. To the top of the wishlist it goes.

 

[Moses85]

Was hoping for

vibes

Got

 

[nikos]

Not really a fan of the character model but it's not a huge issue. Hopefully the game is good.

 

[easytekila]

This looks good. Hoping it's got that Hitman gameplay vibe.

 

[GudOlRub]

Wasn't it supposed to be revealed friday or am I bugging? It caught me completely off guard.
Anywho, the graphics are not the prettiest but the vibe of the game is my jam, can't wait to see more of it.

 

[viveks86]

Loving the artstyle. Looking forward to it even more now. Glad that it has the Hitman DNA, but isn't just reskinned Hitman.

 

[Edder1]

So they made Disney version of Bond?? Lol, what a terrible idea. Graphics and overall or presentation also has cartoony feel to it, which I guess goes hand in hand with the whole kiddy vibe of the game.

 

[BlackTron]

The bond ip feels like a paint by number skin

 

[E-Cat]

It's like Roger Moore had sex with Timothy Dalton. And then Nathan Fillion joined in for a threesome.

 

[Sephimoth]

Main character doesn't feel like Bond (twink), but I trust IO to have good systems.
Shame it looks last gen too

 

[Antwix]

ehhh still hoping for the best with this but reminds me more of uncharted than bond. wheres the sophistication and class?

 

[ProtoByte]

It's literally the most promising game they showed in the entire evening.

In what way? It doesn't seem live they've taken a very inspired direction for the game. It looks like Hitman, only with a non-automaton protag. You can also see the Switch 2 all over this thing, looks last gen as fuck.

 

[wafflecioccy]

The character model used for James Bond looks awful in my opinion

 

[SCB3]

ehhh still hoping for the best with this but reminds me more of uncharted than bond. wheres the sophistication and class?

Exactly, thats what I was saying about it feeling off

 

[Zathalus]

I thought it looked pretty good. I was surprised they are going for an origin story, but it could work. Either way, the developer has got some good credentials so I'm curious about that gameplay reveal.

 

[TrebleShot]

Recruitment Consultant Bond,
This looks fucking awful.

Bond gets 00 Status at 38 in the books.
This looks like 23 year old Bond cheeky scamp, love island reject off on another adventure.

What were they thinking.

 

[LordOcidax]

This game looks generic AF…

 

[Jakk]

Doesn't look great IMO, but still the most interesting game from the show for me. Aside from maybe MGS3, but the trailer for that looked rough.

 

[Judge Magister]

It looks ok.
