Looks awesome, cant wait.
I an agree with something feeling slightly off with the Bond. Maybe its the youth and inexperience vibe they going for- i dunno. To me atleast i hope it plays like something new rather than a reskinned Hitman doing assasinations. Bond is fairly blunt and wreckless.

Well, at least that's something, thanks for the info. Hitman Absolution was also technically a much more linear game, but they still managed to add some replayability.Here's one of the bullet points from the game's page on Steam, it does look like IOI will try to implement some replayability into the game. But I'd be very surprised if it reaches anywhere near the levels of the Hitman games. It's just not the same type of game and it shouldn't be.

If I pulled that off, would you die?
Tom Cruise bond is a little distracting but everything else looks good.

Ignore the naggers. Some of the more extreme reactions around here after the show have been bewildering. I have good faith in IO pulling off a worthwhile thrilling and exciting action adventure game at the very least.

but honestly anything that creates the same replayability as the Hitman games (which clearly they can do) will be awesome.

60 FPS in *Quality* mode on Pro, I'll believe it when I see it but God damn if true

That really never felt like a James Bond....

Is this not on the Hitman engine?
See, I don't want much money spent on that stuff. Save it for gameplay, physics, AI and environments.

It's the guy who played Young Dexter in the new prequel series (Patrick Gibson).At first I thought it was Jacob Elordi (who keeps being listed amongst the many potential names for the new movie Bond)
But he doesn't quite look the same.

Q isn't Indian, he's just very old, which is a bad choice imo.
This thing looks last gen as FUCK. It's certainly in part because of IOI and their engine, but that last scene in the car had crazy aliasing.
thicc_girls_are_teh_best do you see it now?? Do you see what handheld development does to us? The Switch 2's influence is all over this.
Bro c'mon I know you aren't blaming this on Switch 2
. When's IOI made a graphically stunning game? I can't think of any.

I'm late, I just watched the trailer... Games looks great, but it is not 007: this is Mission Impossible, not 007.
I also agree that the graphics are very poor for mid 2025.

What? They clearly did research on Bond. I've seen people complaining that that he was a scar on his face when that's something from the books.
I played it again last year. Fun, but trying to play it like a Hitman game coming from the amazing WoA trilogy just hurts.

Yeah this was my exact reaction, something just feels wrong here. It could be with what they decided to show, but especially the fucking night club shit, it just looks so generic.
They should of focussed more on classic bond, hidden bases in volcanos and shit.

Quality mode should be for pushing visuals to the max at 30fps. It should never be 60fps.
They keep shitting on people who value graphics.

Depends on how meaningful the visual push is at 30 fps. FF7 rebirth, Horizon FW, TLOU on Pro have all made the 30 fps mode a significant compromise compared to their 60 fps counterparts. No one in their right mind would play those games at 30 fps on the Pro. KCD 2 gets rid of it altogether for just one 60 fps mode. I think it depends on the engine and scalability options and can't be a blanket rule.

They should implement Goldeneye levels of replayability. Add more tasks to open up more areas when increasing the difficulty.Here's one of the bullet points from the game's page on Steam, it does look like IOI will try to implement some replayability into the game.

Just go in expecting a cool action stealth ride. It's very well polished, the graphics hold up and it's only $2 right now. Can't beat it.

Lets hope Im wrong, the charisma and "vibe" are there and I really hope Im wrong, but isnt our first rodeo.
My mistake, i mixed them up and confused letter lol. I was talking about M. Q being indian is not that bad, old 007 had old Q in it.

They're going to do a young bond backstory film next with Tom Holland, aren't they?

It's an origin story.... that would seem inline with the premise I'm thinking. But I'll agree, I don't really care for the character design.

Just replace this Amazon Prime actor with Agent 47 and the game is saved.

Yeah, he looks like the OG model for SM1. Feels more like the Captain America character. Too bright.Agree. He's got the most punchable face.

Wasn't Bond a retired naval commander before joining MI6? He should be already in his mid thirties, not some fresh recruit out of college.

Ok, well in that case:
- Bond was a Naval Commander in the Navy, serving for about 20 years - Hence the Commander Bond title
- Worked as a MI6 Agent for a few years after retiring at about 37 where he was known as a hotshot secret agent, not the best in his field but got the job done
Simply put, hes far too young, he's not Nathan Drake of recklessness, hes smart and savvy, not lucky. For an Origin Story we actually have a good one in Casino Royale, I became less of a Daniel Craig Bond fan later after Spectre, but he was great in these and felt more Bond
Alternativly, I don't understand why they don't go with the 60's Bond and set it in the Cold War and the like, seems to fit this kind of Agent of that era tbh

It's a mesh retelling set in modern times. Honestly it's the best way to go while they have a whole vault of stories to lead into from this point.

Again, thats fine, but not with a super young almost Teen Bond, thats not his character at all

The graphic doesn't look that impressive so maybe they can pull it off.
Aren't modern hitman games relatively easy to run?

"That's the best way to go" is a bit of an odd assumption, respectfully.
There isn't a lot of major cold war era period piece games, but the modern shooter is fairly saturated, even tps.
Most Bond fans (I am in several communities for Bond), have been fairly negative to this.
Idk. Seems like the direction of making a modern, young Bond has been received fairly negatively by its market.
That being said, again, I pointed out prior that I am still neutral and awaiting more gameplay and info before I form an opinion. Just commenting on the general feel around the Bondosphere (and much of the gaming sphere). I think it doesn't help that the initial teaser 9 generations ago, seemed to paint it as a traditional Bond. Even though there isn't much to gleam from it, it definitely FEELS like it is hinting at a traditional Bond. That may have caught a lot of people off guard as well when they SoP reveal happened.
We shall see.

They are, however the problem with Hitman games is they feel so wooden.
It's one of those games where you can kill a person less than a meter behind an NPC and they wouldn't notice..... it kinda kills the mood of these games for me because there a bit wacky.
I hope this Bond game improves on all of that.

Don't like the characters age, the voice and it looks very much like a straight up shooter rather than a spy game.
But I expect it's not going to change so best get used to that.

Looking at the views and general comments already, the modern setting definitely will bring more sales and engagement than it would have in a period setting. I would rather this to give the best shot to build from with the Bond license in today's gaming market and build from it here. Very happy and strong in confidence with everything so I am all in for the future baby!
