>>738181514what a faggy thing to say.
Seems like IO Interactive are tone deaf and everyone who buys their garbage is a retarded faggot
What's the point of making a bond game if he isn't going to behave like bond?
In other words it's going to be woke and shit. Who could have seen that coming?
>>738181514Sounds like it's going to be gay and boring.
>>738181580Riding off the coat tails of an established brand, duh
>>738181580bait and switch with recognized IP, retards (normalfags) will always fall for it
Why do people say this retarded shit on the record? Is it just to ragebait engagement? Do the journos bait them into saying it to boost their own engagement? Even if I was the most Black Rock owned DEI-shill on the planet, I'd keep it on the down low until all the boomer bond fans have paid up.
>>738181580Wokefags wearing old things like a skinsuit to push their bullshit isn't new.
>modern valuesSo when are they going to give this religion a name?
>>738181580'Glowie agent assassinating global leaders for a surveillance state' doesn't make for an appealing protagonist in a post-Trump world
>>738181702So not only is it black woman with a curly fro, like it always is, but they dress her in a black turtleneck. The only reason they didn't do full burkah is because then we couldn't see she is black.
I hate Western media producers so much its unreal. I'm glad Asia is replacing them this century.
>>738181757Anti-funism
>>738181757it already has a name, it's science™
>>738181514Honestly I couldnt give less of a fuck about the game itself, it looks like trash, what worries me is that the game is going to be an indicative of how the next 007 movies are going to be.Daniel's Bond was already kinda faggy, especially in the last movie, and now this game has tons of DEI shit in it.Next Bond will probably be bisexual and lame.
>>738181769Someone should make the mod that turns Bond into Luigi
>>738181580to better reflect the modern state of england
Nobody cares about 007 you 40 something year old uncs
>>738181851Craig's Bond was bisexual. He says so in Skyfall.And did you read the latest Bond novel? The bad guys are far-right nationalists who want to eliminate trans rights. There are no hopes at all for Amazon's next Bond films.
>>738181514>tone deafis this 2016
>>738181580To push you to accept that this is the new normal and you can't have any of the things you actually like and want anymore.
>>738181961>Craig's Bond was bisexual. He says so in Skyfall.Yes and that was already terrible, but they will manage to make it worse.Next movie, Bond will have on-screen sex with men.
Unironically who thinks James "Faggot" Bond is cool?
>>738181563What's wrong with modern values? We are all modern people here
>>738181514>not even handsome>bitch scar
Saw the gameplay, people dont bleed when you shoot them, they just emit dust when you hit them. So gay and bad lol
>>738182032just like the gay cum swapping scene Craig does in that scene fag film he was in
ive atched the oldest bond moviesthese modernist writers, writers who pretend to champion modern progres while trampling on the efforts of the past, dont know what they are talking about and are full of shitconnery's character doesnt mistreat any woman character and gets saved by them multiple times implying that women should not be underestimatedhe also almost dies multiple times because of evil womensmodern writers should be hanged for lying so boldlyeating their own indeed
>>738182032Okay but what does the reddit frog have to do with any of that
>>738182089>We are all modern people hereLol.>According to the Entertainment Software Association's (ESA) 2025 Power of Play report, the average age of video gamers worldwide is 41 years old
>>738182032We will have bond "girls" instead soon
>>738182032The Bond "girl" in the most recent Bond novel was a Wiccan tranny. The Bond demoralization campaign Amazon is waging is going to be brutal.
>>738181514What Mish Moneypenny did before I met her ish her buishnessh
>>738182032https://youtu.be/eknj5_0tF2s?si=Ay8apkz-UgXhfmMZ
>>738182286zoomers going to lose it when they learn bond girls weren't all pure virgins
>>738182150But Connery Bond seduces women constantly, so that automatically makes him worse than literal Hitler. Accordin to them.
They censored all the Bond novels also. They even pushed a forced update to the existing E-books, so if you bought them on Kindle, your copy gets replaced with the censored copies.
British spy will never get dated. It's a historical thing like wild west cowboys and pirates. I loved the show where the British and Russian spy fell in love and have kids btw.
>>738182368Yeah never understood that. plapping whores is awesome. never marriage though.
>>738182368Were any of them?
>0 hype>0 sales>7 threads a minute shitting on itLooking forward to release
>>738181514Who is the intended audience of this game?
>>738182286This guy looks like he slaps hysterical women.
>>738182465Blackrock.
>>738182465Zoomers who have never seen a Bond movie except maybe the last few Daniel Craig films and think that this is exactly what Bond should be.
>>738181769>finds a way to whine about Trump even in a James Bond threadimpressive
>>738182425Idk. Read On HIS Majesties Royal Service (2023). Its about Bond taking out a far right political party in Britain at the direction of the King. Its comically bad. Bond has internal monologue about the importance of bike lanes, for example. And fucks a troon.
>>738182465Starving Hitman fans
DOOD LENNY KRAVITZ
>>738181580Denigration. The formula has been the same for a decade: if it has white heterosexual male fans, the character has to be defecated on.
>>738181514Might as well say "PLEASE DON'T BUY OUR GAME, ITS SHIT LOL!"
>>738181514How would they butcher him?
>>738182465Me. I like all eras of Bond, even the woke stuff.
>>738182459I'm planning to blindly buy this game, thinking it'll hopefully fill the Hitman void in me.
>>738181514Why would they say this??There is no financial benefit of saying any of this. Instead, NOT saying this is a net profit in this case.
>>738182181>Darksydephils the WWE gacha addict is 44 years oldThe number checks out. Gacha was a mistake.
>>738182701The answer might be shocking to you.
>>738181514Is there any hope the game can be somewhat decent?Nu-Hitman is pure genius and James Bond should be a natural fit for the formula. But I can see them forcong movie shit in the game instead of using the Hitman formula with a few Bond tools to spice the thing up.Is there any hope?
>>738182907I'll risk it.
>>738182920Watch the gameplay footage. It looks like a really bad AA title. Chest high cover shooter with big red barrels everywhere. Lame car chase sequences with arcadey floaty boat cars that don't have any semblance of real physics. Simplified stealth mechanics with ubisoft takedowns and a "spotted" meter that fills up so slow you can just sprint staight towards enemies in an open hallway before they spot you.PC Gamer was complaining the AI was tok braindead. Do you know how dumb a game has to be for fucking PC Gamer to say it is too dumb for them?
>>738182451Pussy Galore was a pure penis hating lesbian before Bond set her straight. (technically she only became a lesbian because she was raped by her uncle, but they don't tell you that part in the movie)
>>738182451It's a major plot point in Live and Let Die that Bond lies to this chick and pops her cherry, and the villain is super pissed he couldn't do it himself
Ok. Add a cute transgirl romance option and i'll play it.
>>738182931They hate you
The "modern audience"/"modern values" is Larry Fink from Blackrock
>>738181580Branding. Many people buy on brand alone
>>738181961>The bad guys are far-right nationalists who want to eliminate trans rights. Why do they have to ruin EVERYTHING?

>>738183456>your mission is to seduce her>she seduces you insteadexpectations subverted
>>738182549Anything not written by Ian Fleming is basically fan fiction
hire IOI because you really wanted a cool Bond game about 007 globe-trotting adventures kidnapping/killing targets and Hitman's devs could 100% do it right>instead IOI decides to lean more in to cinematics, and make James Bond an underage-looking goober instead of a professional 30-something naval officer recruited by the glowies
>>738183456
So is it Hitman WoA or Absolution?I've never liked one Bond game. Just need to know if I'm playing a good IOI game. FOMO Always Online regardless. It's shit but nobody protested it so it's here to stay.
>>738182649Luckily after two seasons of crap someone managed to force Patrick Stewart to go along with making the third season TNG 2 and it turned out genuinely enjoyable.

>>738183902kek
>>738184076>I've never liked one Bond game.play the one on gameboy it's kino
>>738184076Neither. Its Gears of Wars, but with always-online timed content just like Hitman.
>>738181757Intersectionality
>>738182149What does the cum swapping scene entail, exactly?
>>738181580because the audience for the game will start crying if he does a womanize
How come, whenever a company wants the younger audience, all they do is introduce a bunch of minorities and LGBTQABCD?It feels like they're more focused on what they want the younger audience to like than what they actually like.
>>738182150some normalfags consider bond a rapist now because he seduces and lies to women
>>738181580What? He acts exactly like Bond. Have you actually watched any of the Craig movies? Bond in those is a sensitive pussy with PTSD who has homoerotic dynamics with, at least, TWO of his villains and basically never hits on women. It is funny how pussified Craig's bond is. He basically barely ever drinks, smokes, or interacts with women. He just kinda shoots people and cries. That is what modern Bond is all about.
>>738186871>Have you actually watchedstopped reading right there. Read the novels
>>738182814Is part of the demoralization the devil wants you to feel powerful as all your heroes are dragged trough the mud.Once this shit fails like they always do, the demons in charge run away with the money. Same story different day. Just stop giving them attention, we got old classic games, indies, and Asian games worth playing.
>your mission, 007, is to save the President of Israel from the Hundred Army Mob And Syndicate>"Tel-Aviv is lovely this time of year.">James, I needn't repeat the importance of the mission. The Jews have been in Israel for thousands of years, they'll still be there after the job is finished.>"Don't worry, M. There's a martini at the bar that was promised to me 3,000 kills ago."
>>738186963Okay well then I am sorry but your opinion is just meaningless because the creators of the game and the films for the past like 50 years do not care about the books.
>>738186963Lol, recently I finally actually read the copy of Casino Royale I had sitting on my shelf for years, and I kept cracking up at how blatantly Bond just hates women. He throws at least two tantrums about even having to have Vesper on the mission, is consistently lamenting having to save her and wonders if it'll be easier to just let her die, and immediately after being pulled from a car crash which nearly kills him he fantasises about raping her because he sees her tied up in the back of the villain's car.
>>738182550As one of those fans, I'm not going to buy uncharted with railroaded 'hitman' segments.You'd have to be blindly trusting of IOI to buy it for that and I really can't imagine anyone who actually played the nuhitman trilogy would be. They're fucking awful.
>>738181580This, make something new instead of changing what's old.Besides I bet they would sell very well globally if they just made him act just like he did in the 60s bond movies. 90% of the wold is still like that.
>>738187346They could unironically pull an Austin powers plot, have 60's bond in modern day. Hilarity ensues.
>>738182286lulz At least he didn't have to experience how bad things have gotten.

>>738186418The world is in a weird place. Most industries have moved beyond the point where their target audience are the people who buy their products. Instead the business model is about appealing to financiers, collecting finance from them, and then spending a portion of that on a product while the rest goes back into finance. It doesn't actually matter if your product sells because most of your money comes from markets and not sales.Videogames are in a weird spot. They still need consumers to buy things in order to turn a profit, but they also need to cater to financiers to raise the funds necessary to make that product. This puts them in a weird spot, because what consumers want and what financiers want is usually at odds, but more than that, financiers tend to have this kind of obsessive idea that ONLY the finance side of business matters and that a company which compromises in any way to appeal to its end consumer is a company that is poorly managed and "stuck in the past," therefore a bad investment. Financiers want woke and LGBT not because they have an agenda, they're all soulless autonomations that believe in nothing except boilerplate libertarian values, but because they have algorithm-driven metrics that say these are the things a company needs to be to generate equity. That's it. If National Socialism was business-trendy then you'd see swastikas in every game. The people pushing this don't care what they're pushing as long as the numbers say it's a statistically good bet.Games going woke is a survivorship bias thing. A game doesn't get made unless it's woke because nobody will finance it. And especially a triple A game won't get made unless it's woke because there's no way to raise money for a triple A budget without appealing to the zeitgeist. Then it inevitably flops and maybe takes the company with it but the financiers make money speculating on the whole debacle so it just keeps happening.
>>738187097"James before you go, do you recognise Israel's right to exist?"
>>738187405>>738187559>austin powers was frozen for 30 years until '97>it's almost 30 years since he would've been unfrozen
>>738187603Just adding to this>isn't it weird that the people funding the development of games are very obviously demolishing the industry?No. It's by design. All industries tend to go through periods of growth and contraction. Something finds success and the tide surges, everyone jumps on board to make money off of the trend. The bandwagon hopping causes the industry to become overvalued, ie there's more money tied up in it than it's actually worth. Once people realize it's overvalued, it shrinks back down. Now people jump from the sinking ship and the value plummets, making it undervalued. Now people can buy in for cheap and the cycle repeats.Gaming as an industry surged through the 2010s from being a relatively niche entertainment industry to being bigger than hollywood and everyone putting money into it believed it wasn't worth that much. The past 8 years or so have been a market collectively holding its breath waiting for the inevitable correction to happen so they can short it and profit from it.The pandemic was the turning point where the games industry's growth finally slowed down, which is why the bizarre and self-destructive political shit exploded afterwards. Investors KNOW these products are going to fail and they want that, because even as they buy into a company to push an agenda on it, they bet larger sums against its success. Then it implodes, there's mass layoffs, stock value plummets and you can now buy in cheaply confident that the developer is now undervalued and will inevitably bounce back.It's more or less controlled demolition of the industry. Consumers see it (though they may not understand why), businessmen see it. The only people who don't see it are the people working in the industry, who now exist just to be layoff fodder.
>>738181580To demoralize you by systematically dismantling every facet of your culture and history and turning them into humiliation rituals.
instant no buy
>>738183394I think it's an effort, consciously or unconsciously, to further atomize the western individual by simply destroying culture. Sad though it may be in the grand narrative of history, big Hollywood productions did used to be culture for common people. Spy films, Star Wars, superhero movies (for what seems like a brief period at this point), tv shows like BrBa and GoT used to be these widespread cultural events that brought people together out of enthusiasm for the material, however lowbrow. There was once upon a time where the newest shocking moment of Game of Thrones was talked about in every break room in the US by the late teens-30s demographic. What do they talk about now, since covid really? I saw my local public library is doing some Star Wars event this week and I thought "that might've been cool before any concern I had in that franchise was destroyed".Lefties will kill themselves before admitting that 1. everything has been ruined and 2. they cheered on every moment of it, but their actions speak otherwise. The destruction of unifying culture also explains why the average person is increasingly using ongoing current events as their new entertainment; people like me can probably be spoken of similarly, just 10 years earlier and to the far right. The unremarkable commoners who don't read or pay attention to anything are thinking about the Epstein operation and feeding a genuinely unhinged conspiracism culture every day because Disney made Luke Skywalker a lame bitch.

We hope you will LOVE new chocolate just as much as old chocolate if not more! If you don't then that must mean you are a bigot and we will spend most of our money shaming you online.
>>738181514*067*00 is licence to kill, we don't want to traumtize the modern audience. And "zero-six-seven" sounds more natural than "double-o-six-seven".
>>738188265Hershey managed to replace the taste of chocolate with vomit and americans love it.
>>738181514why does this bond game suddenly matter after all the ones between this and goldeneye didn't matter
>>738188281>you've got a license to unalive, Mr. Bond
in the next hitman game you will get bonus points for killing ICE agents and the targets will be chuds and transphobes who deserve it which makes 47 morally in the right

>>738188281*67*We don't want to make this too difficult for them to understand
>>738181514there's something wrong with you if you could not tell immediately in the first frame of the first teaser that this was going to be some worthless woke modern slop shit
>>738189632Because it's a wildly successful parody that has ultimately held up better than basically every James Bond movie since Goldeneye.At this point Austin Powers holds up a better model for making a successful bond film than most of the bond films.
>>738182814Because woke video game 'journalists' won't give them positive coverage unless they recite mantras like these.
>>738182368Wait til they learn Bond isn't a virgin!(though he may still be one in this game)
>>738190124Journos write what they're paid to write. They have no power over the industry, they're just stooges that sell positive coverage.
>>738187192NTA but what exactly led you to think the creators of this game care about the films? Genuine question.
makes sensethis is a game about young bondhe still has time to mature and learn to hate women and minorities properly
>>73819025299% of Journos are leftist trust-fund kiddies. No one else can afford to get into the profession.

>>738181580For the enshittification of England, James
>>738184479dude blows him and they kiss with cum still in his mouth
>>738182549>bike lanesI had forgot all about that book already. The fixation on bike lanes was such a weirdly specific thing for the author to focus on. You can tell he was a salty cyclist. Both Bond and the bad guy king mentioned bike lanes several times.
>>738189234kek
>>738188986 Not far already. WOA is about taking down a secret cabal of bankers, and the game trips over itself to make it very clear none of them are Jewish.
>>738183902>>738183902hahahah thank you for making the meme I had in my head already you funny bastard
>>738182273For Your Eyes Only had a trans character though
>>738181514That's bullshit for "there's going to be no sexy women in this game".Why can't they just say that?
>>738181514>IO Interactive announces that 007 will be lame and gay in their newest gameWhy even announce this
>>738181514It's so bizarre how a company willingly signals in advance that they're going woke. Have they not seen how every other woke media has flopped? How many studios have gone under because of this? Do they believe the same wont happen to them? Are they just suicidal?
>>738194628Its either cave in and admit your enemy is right or stand by your principles even if they drag you down to an abyss of failure and obscurity. I'm sure theres a more concise term for it but thats their logic here.
>>738193414Interesting. Never knew that. Funny but of trivia. In the new novel though, they play trans girl as a real girl with only some slight hints they are trans, like them mentioning a falling out with their family and not using their birth name. You don't really piece together they arw trans until they talk with Bond about how the bad guy will single out people like them--highly implying it because they are trans.
>>738194628Its a religion. Like every adherent of any religion, they can't keep it subtle. They must constantly proclaim their faith as loudly as possible.
>>738182286>>738187406>Dull and Prosaic": Connery famously described Bond as a "dull, prosaic English policeman". He believed that once you stripped away the "exotic touches"—the gadgets, cars, and glamorous locations—the character himself was uninteresting.>Lack of Development: As a classically trained actor, Connery grew tired of the repetitive plots and the complete lack of character growth. He felt Bond was a "blunt instrument" who didn't change or learn from his experiences>A Personal Disconnect: Connery stated, "I don’t really suppose I’d like Bond if I met him. He’s not my kind of chap at all". He viewed Bond's absolute certainty and lack of doubt as unrealistic, noting that most people are "plagued by doubts," which made the character feel more like a fantasy than a human being.>Becoming a "Piece of Merchandise": He resented how the character's massive popularity overshadowed his own identity, turning him into a "public institution" or "piece of merchandise" rather than an actor.>Later in life, Connery praised the shift back toward a more realistic Bond, specifically complimenting Daniel Craig's portrayal for bringing back the "danger element" he felt had been lost in more gadget-heavy eras.Seems like he would love the new Bond actually.
>>738189234Good one.
>>738188005Ding ding ding ding.Right on the money and this board is too full of midwits to see it. There is no racial or gender agenda in the driving seat, the only agenda in the driving seat is a financial one, all others are merely along for the ride.>B-b-b-b-but this isn't a deliberate strategy the activist investors are just incompe-If I had a dollar for every time a supposedly "incompetent" person in power somehow mysteriously keeps obtaining more money and power regardless then I might have a few people calling me "incompetent" myself.
>>738195163By the time that Casino Royal came out he was well into the symptoms of Alzheimer’s anon
>>738195163Funny enough, that's what especially Connery's Bond interesting to me. His Bond seemed so deeply unhappy despite the money and cars and women. He wore those things like a costume. He felt like an anti-hero, because he seemed like he was truly just in it for the killing. But the films were never so blunt as to just come out and say that. It gave them some depth.
>>738181514imagine just setting it in the 60s and not giving a shit about anything modern.
