I can't believe this slop is out tomorrow. IOI need to grow a fucking brain, this is a worthless property after 20 years of garbage Craig films, and they haven't spent anywhere near enough on advertising for a title like this. Their always online Hitman garbage was carried by positive word of mouth and FOMO, this has neither.The brand has zero appeal to anyone under 30, it has negative appeal to anyone in the 30-60 range, at best they can sell it to 60 year olds who haven't seen a Bond film since Brosnan.

>we got the bond ip, what sort of game should we make?>how about something that's completely fucking gay and nothing like james bond?
>>739599742I mean, I haven't cared about the games since GoldenEye on the N64. The last Bond game I ever played was like 20ish years ago over at a friend's house and I can't even remember which one it was.
does bames jond even have any fans under 50?
The more I see of this game the less appealing it looks.When all I knew about it was "what if Nathan but James?" I thought it would be a fun deep discount game.But its like everything the show just makes me hate it more. From the onions ass "errm Bond was always a heckin sexism" to the "multiple ways to play a scenario". It's just shit. Looks like it runs bad too.
I remember I had a Kaby Lake when I built my first PC.
What is this?What is that?Nigga looks like a sloth.If he was rendered in Smugglers Run on PS2.

Bond without all the classic spy-thriller camp just seems pointless to me. It's just a dude with a gun (sometimes) then, what's the hook
Where's the hot Bond babes?
>>739601979sorry chud, this is for the modern audience, and they dont like seeing attractive women

Bond was already going through an identity crisis. Casino Royale was the swan song. A good Bond would be easy but they'll never do that.

Did they try just making Hitman with new maps and a James Bond skin? Or did they just jump straight to the "let's fill the game up with nonwhites and literal who people that only 12 year olds recognize"?
>>739603006Alpha Protocol is basically already the blueprint for a good Bond game right there.Thanks for the reminder anon, I know what I'm playing instead of this shit.

Still waiting for reviews to drop, before deciding. If they lifted the embargo earlier, sales might look healthier.
>>739603181>>739603191My ideal Alpha Protocol-like bond game>Your tutorial is getting the 00 codename and license to kill by whacking an Albanian Arms Traficker Child Rapist, Online Casino Operator whatever, his existance is to tutorialize the gameplay mechanics.>Mission accomplished, you get license to kill, starting funds, maybe some baseline gadgets>You are thrown into diverse, seedy and unpleasant locations like Marrakesh, Cairo, Hong Kong, Dubai where you walk around looking for clues, getting into fights, doing corporate espionage to piece together the BBEG plot you then work directly on dismantling
What's wrong with the game? Does it not play like Hitman?
>>739603353>If they lifted the embargo earlier, sales might look healthier.that's exactly the opposite of what would happen and why they didn't lift it earlier. they know.
How can they be so retarded.I bet autistic anon like myself could figure it out better.Nobody but older whites males likes/remembers bond anymore. Youth has a different culture now.You could have targeted that demographic but they specifically said how the movie bond is problematic.Who the fuck is supposed to buy the game? Total Insanity. How out of touch can you be to put youtubers or whoever that is in there.Just a cool dude, sexy babes, gadgets, evil conspiracies. All it would have needed.

>>739603353Any time devs push a review embargo it's because they know it's a piece of shit and they don't want to let people know ahead of time, because it'll mean cancelled preorders.There is never any other reason for this.

>>739599742All they had to do was have an adult James Bond banging attractive women and drinking but instead they wanted the Zoomer audience. I hope this doesn't kill IOI as WoA ended up actually being pretty good.
I think that the people who make these games have literally just not watched the original bond movies. I'm not a huge fan or anything, but they are incredibly silly and that's what I liked about them. Also the fact that they portray a bygone civilization where white people are everywhere and people are relatively civilized. Robert showed the entire bond franchise back to back with Austin Powers after, and it made me realize how fucking ridiculous bond is. As far as what I've seen in the newer entries in the series, they take it far too seriously considering this is the same series that has a character literally named pussy galore. The secret to making this franchise work for younger people is to drop the "EPIC COOL SPY BOND" thing and really just accept that it is incredibly silly and stupid, but don't play for laughs like Austin Powers, have it he ridiculous but take it completely serious. It would basically need to be like a kingdom hearts, something that would look insane to outsiders but you'd get a loyal fan base who loves the franchise.On another note, this image is incredibly funny because of the >You'll see a familiar face, the famous nigger, Mr. Literally who!!!
>>739604556>the fact that they portray a bygone civilization where white people are everywhere and people are relatively civilizedYeah that's the main appeal of these films. Old Bond films are very good at just showing cities that don't exist anymore

>>739599742>here's some literal who niggerSo who is supposed to be the target for this game, exactly? Because I don't see how this sort of advertising is supposed to appeal to either fans of the franchise or people who might be interested in this sort of game.
>>739604838I know anon, I'm retarded but I'm not that retarded. I'm just bringing it up in comparison to modern Bond where everything's taken to the opposite extreme, it's all too serious and Bond isn't allowed to have fun or say a one-liner or bang a girl without apologizing for it immediately afterwards.

I keep forgetting this even exists. Is it really releasing for the summer game fest? Way to be burried under new projects noise
>>739599742It's sad. I used to be the biggest Bond fan, just pure autistic hyperfixation on the movies when I was younger. This franchise should've been put down years ago, it's simply incompatible with the modern political/cultural landscape. All they're doing now is flaying its decayed corpse and turning it into a mockery of itself. It belongs in the past, just like Doctor Who
>>739605515If your coworkers are all dicks then chances are you're a dick. I'm ok with the western games industry collapsing they're all complicit.
>>739599742I doubt IO themselves had much to do with the general zogged up character of the game. The movies have gone in this direction for a long time
>>739603905>"Pre orders">Calls others consumers Retard
>>739606932>The game's art director, Rasmus Poulsen, stated that the team sought to avoid portraying certain aspects of the character that were deemed outdated, and in particular, attitudes towards women seen expressed by Bond in previous series entries that the developers believed would be considered sexist by current audiences.
>>739607032Why do these people think that the James Bond IP has any audience under the age of 35?
>>739607032I can only hope this means "no casual butt slaps" rather than "no interest in the opposite sex" but I will not hold my breath
>>739599742Was that the top hat guy from Live and Let Die? Im going to be honest, I think James Bond does not have many black firends.
>>739601630God I miss seeing batboy in the papers.
>>739607139What it means is that he's going to be surrounded by girlbosses and undergo humiliation rituals every five seconds in the vein of how whedon type quip protagonists generally do
>>739601134If they just made a cool game it would be fine but this doesn't look good at all.
>>739607250That would be impossible with modern diversity hires. Obviously they should've just made something people wanted to play, but I'm saying if this is the turd they have to sell, they should've spent WAY more on the ad budget.
>>739604140AAA games take years to develop, they would have been funded during the COVID boom.
Ever since its first reveal it just hasn't looked appealing or like it would be a fun experience. Definitely one to wait and see how it actually plays out.
>>739599742That Bethesda Indiana Jones game was kinda woke, but it still felt like a classic Indy movie.But this shit is just lame, like they tried to copy Uncharted instead of doing a 007 game and on top of that its also woke.

>>739599742How is publicising the presence of some guy called KWABY LAME a 'unique marketing strategy'? What's an old school marketing campaign anyway and shouldn't they be more concerned that showing off the game isn't working?
>>739599742>KWABY Lame>a familiar face
>>739601206the zoomer bond shit really puts me off also I don't like the idea of james bond being just another hitman game, my experience with old james bond has always been fairly linear levels with lots of shootouts, with vehicle sections and various setpieces.
>>739608550>fairly linear levels with lots of shootouts, with vehicle sections and various setpiecesYou know that's just Uncharted, right?
>>739608581you need to be 18 years old to post here
I don't think most people care about 007 faggotry these days.He's literally too incompatible with modern day ethics and standards anyway. Oldschool fans won't get what they want and even a sanitized DEI-fied Bond is still too much for ((modern)) audiences.It's a lose-lose situation.

>>739610779The PC version of nightfire has really good atmosphere but I remember about every 3rd level having some insane softlock issue because the AI gets a stroke, however it has great pacing and atmosphere, also does a smart thing of relegating driving transitions to cutscenes instead of adding half-assed vehicle combat and driving.>drop in by parachute, can climb a tower and drop onto a truck to get inside a castle you walk around and then inflitrate a party>find the guy and his gorrilla nigga interrupts your evening so it turns into a shootout that leads to an ill advised escape via cable car>fucking dreadful sniping section where you cover mentally disable female agent>infiltrating a Japanese office at night ends with a helicopter bossfight>you infiltrate an island lab being sneaky or shooty>final boss fight is in space.But this gay retarded industry will never actually make a GOOD, WARRANTED remake to realize unfulfilled potential due to technical constraints at the time.

Could it truly be echo-chamber fartsniffing at game devs, or is there more to it? I thought Blackrock was done poisoning vidya with their printed money.
It's over for you detractors
>>739612098>sector.sk>ppe.plwho?
>>739611028I don't know how it plays, I'm just talking about the tone. 47 made for a good Bond. That entire first level of nu-Hitman where the music swells as the villain comes waking down the stairs, the fashion show venue, 47's lines, the kills, it's all disgustingly James Bond and it hurts to see IOI go full le quirky action slop when they already nailed it once.It kind of feels like Kane & Lynch all over again where they follow up a bunch of bangers with slop.
>>739599742it isn't james bond if the girls are all ugly DEI tards, half the point of bond is hot girls and fast cars.

I find it strange this thread is pretending this one specific video game is some profound and significant fulcrum in the existence of james bond. As if this one piece of software will dictate any and all future possibilities for the character. No one said or thought anything remotely similar when bond came out on the gameboy, or goldeneye, or nightfire, or agent under fire, or from russia with love, or everything or nothing, or the mediocre tie ins for quantum of solace. why this one specific game is some lynchpin in some overarching culture war confuses me bond IS already dead. the broccolis sold to amazon. their very last film killed their cinematic bond. week it. how bizarre you all are. there was even that weird memorial concert thing at the oscars.
>>739599742The current demographic for James bond is like 28-40+ The "modern audience" of shitlib San Francisco retards aren't enough to generate sales for DEI bond gen A and younger gen z aren't interested in bond or movies for that matter
unironically why would you pick this over forza 6 if you are a normie that cant figure out torrentsor gachas like wuwa/uma/nte/whatever that are freenothing about this is worth playing over Goldeneye.
>>739613202This game's existence and direction is the direction Amazon wants to take the series. They're going to turn M into a pajeeta in the new Bond movie.
>>739613420no, the game was developed before the broccolis sold to amazon, and was made by their directive to correct their personal annoyance with video game bond killing everyone like some doomguy
>>739599742>Yeah, let's just add a popular nigger, gaymers love those
>>739599742Just like how none gave a shit about that Indiana Jones game, nobody gives a shit about this. Boomer nostalgia is dead
>>739613420It's not. it's very much born of IO's desire to have their own Bond who they can develop over multiple games, instead of licensing actors.
>>739613828This one is a nigger from the 90s so he gets a pass
>>739613278Who plays Forza, other than boring car nerds?
>>739614820Forza (Horizon) is the game for casual players rather than fans of a specific racing sub-genre or car culture, Einstein.
>>739599742who the fuck is khaby lame
>>739614968Tick-Tock "comedian" that mocks disabled folks accessibility tools like a shoe-horn and able-bodied folks think it's hilarious to shit on the cripples.That's it. That's the whole shtick for him: Shitting on people that already have a hard life.So typical nagger shit.
>>739599742>make a bond game>presumably for people who grew up with bond>make bond an insufferable millennial>scatter a few easter eggs for nostalgia's sakeWould it have killed them to just make a bond game entirely in the old style?
>>739615116That's pretty funny because this pic makes him look like a pinhead circus freak
>>739615116That's okay, but depicting Bond as a sexist is bad?
>>739600154Old James Bond movies are actually pretty fucking terrible, try watching one now, they're super shallow and boring as fuck for movies that aim only to be fun.
So this is the game culture war faggots will jump at next?
>>739615136Amazon probably wouldn't allow it even if they wanted to.
>>739601134>The brand has zero appeal to anyone under 30So is any new game, zoomers don't buy games, they just play GaaS stuff, AAA is literally for uncs.
>>739615359Nope, they're still as good as I remember, you're just used to being overstimulated with flashing lights and explosions thanks to Michael Bay.
>>739615541Not at all, I like golden age Hollywood movies, I've watched every Hitchcock movie and they're all good, Bond movies are just shallow as fuck and the action doesn't compensate.
The Indiana Jones game had it right making him look like young Harrison Ford, if they had this Bond look like Sean Connery it would attract some attention, but they literally made him Nathan Drake. The game is one horrible decision after another.
I think a big problem with this game is that you don't play as James Bond, you play as some kid they're are calling James Bond. In the past James Bond games you were playing as an established Bond like Pierce Brosnan or even Craig, like that was the whole point to play as the actual James Bond from the films and all.
>>739601134its not a good IP but its better than making a new one, bigger issue is no one believes its going to be any good
also the Bond franchise is in a really bad state right now, I don't think there is a worse time to release a big budget Bond game. Should have made a chibi block pushing puzzle game.
>>739615359only the classic ones are good and maybe casino royale. watch the brosnan ones.
I can't wait to for the John Wick game to mog this one.
>>739615742Exactly, add to that the modern audience bullshit, and the game doesn't resemble 007 at all. It's not even similar to old 007 game, it's just using its name trying to convince some retards into buying it.
>>739615742They marketed him as nu-bond as well which made it even worse, if the made him some sort of updated version of the original bond i.e an over the top sociopath sigma male meme character the game would do better
>>739599742>waste all this money on James Bond license>could have just made it a Lucas Grey >Who the fuck is Lucas GreyHitmans brother. >but noone knows who that isAnd noone cares who James bond is, the name isn't garnering sales the way it should
>>739600154On her Majesty secret service MOGS
>make him look like Sean Connery>make it first personThere you go, nobody cares about cover shooters with shallow platforming anymore.
should have made bond an anime girl
>>739615359I thought a lot of them were boring back then but watching recently makes me appreciate them a lot more. Labelling everything as nostalgia goggles only works if the modern takes are halfway decent
>>739599742Didn't this nigga stop making content years ago? Why would they think using a retired e-celeb would get people to play??? This might be one of the weirdest choices I've ever seen in gaming
>>739616707Dev cycles now are so long that they probably added this guy 5 years ago.
>>739601206Pretty much. When people think Bond they think suave veteran gentleman super spy, not some green prick. This would have been better off as a fucking Uncharted game.>>739601134>at best they can sell it to 60 year olds who haven't seen a Bond film since Brosnan.hell no this looks nothing like bondIf they wanted to make a Bond game they should've just used a knockoff Sean Connery Bond
>>739599742If Khabe Lame doesn't work to get gamers excited then I don't know what will.
>>739615136The whole point is to "fix" Bond by making him more progressive. They don't like the old version.
>>739599742Why does /v/ want this game to fail, anyway?
>>739616995If an IP is retconned in the woods and no one sees it, is it retconned?
>>739617263
>>739617263Asmongold told me to hate it
>>739615359Connery carries it with charisma. Moore is maybe not such a strong era. The Brosnan movies are just good 90's action movies. Nothing to complain about there at all. I honestly remember almost nothing about Dalton or the other guy.
>>739599742unironically I was considering the game and this shit turned it into a firm skip for me. Enjoy your bimboko bimbolo literal who zoomer icon
>>739617367>hot girl walks up to Bond at the bar>starts flirting with him, "So, what's your name?">"I'm...gay, very gay" >starts making out with black man bartender
>>739616754That's hilarious but it would be retarded to pay e-celebs that early in development.
>>739616086that's literally Agent 47, to be fair. I think they want to not do Agent 47 again.
>>739603353i'd play a dalton bond gameor a game with that ian fleming drawing of bondor moore or brosnan or connerydon't want to play as that young bond in this game
>>739617610isn't Agent 47 basically asexual? Hes a different sort of guy, I was more thinking a guy that behaves more like one of these looksmaxxing influencers but with less autism
>>739617520>I'm Gay, James Gay>Pounded, not stirred>I always enjoy learning a new cock>I think he got the cum
>>739602201lol tell it to the landlord
I just don't understand why call it 007 at all other than to piss off 007 fans. Might as well have a woman protagonist that happens to be a lesbian.
>>739617270The way they see it, you can enjoy Bond on their terms or you can not enjoy it all. They do the same thing with Star Wars, Marvel, pretty much everything that they touch.
>>739617367Surely they just mean that the game can't be just about cold war or the 90's/early 00's terrorist craze in its central themes anymore, right?RIGHT???
>>739617818It's not a Sony game. They have a patent on lesbian protagonists.
>>739617818The point is to ruin the IP.
>>739617818funnily enough the director of dune and bladerunner 2047, wanted that asian guy from weapons (the guy with the popped out eyes) to play the new bond, but luckily that got declined. God knows how amazon bond is going to be.Also first light player numbers during early access (preorder to get early access)
>no hot bond babes>Amazon tier DIVERCITYi'll keep my money and buy something else on summersale
>>739616086>>739617610Reminder that they also sanded down 47 to be a warm wholesome chungus by the end of WoA. Beyond any partisan stuff, the modern audience can't handle something where the protagonist isn't a good person.
>>739618103>18kEven if the game is just hitman reskinned with shitty store assets they aren't making money
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trvIyyFt_MM>Bond is a reckless womanising bad boy waho!This literally just looks like the old Bond, but younger and less experienced.I think the bit about him "no longer being a sexist" was PR, bros. Amazon probably made them say it.Also every Bond since Brosnan has been advertised as "shedding the sexist past of the franchise", and they all end up getting off with a series of beautiful women, because it's James Bond.
>>739618103Game is doing so bad in preorders they decided to upgrade everyone who preorders the game, to the deluxe edition lmao.steam and sony takes 30% cut, amazon takes 30%cut that leaves io with only 40% of the revenue.
>im so glad to be alive in 2026 with such amazing graphics and character design in new games!

>>739602923Holy victim complex. Nobody gave a fuck about Bond for decades please shut the fuck up. Nobody cares about it beyond goldeneye for its gameplay/speed running potential. You think anyone actually say around and gave a fuck about the story or retarded characters like the midget with kung laos hat? The remakes meanwhile brought new fans to the series and made it relevant in the first place again. You're whining about this shit now when youve had like what, 3 modern movies? If you actually gave a fuck about the IP at all you had forever to air out these concerns and whiningI'm convinced you've not seen a single James Bond movie before it became cool to whine and bitch about it's modernization that happened 10 years ago you whiny self serving nigger
>>739619169>please shut the fuck upYou won't silence men anymore

>>739619169nobody gave about bond for ages because it's already been ruined for ages with their rebranding shit
>>739619169people have been saying it's shit ever since the new movies started because that's when it turned to shit.this is just another entry in a line full of garbage. this isn't the first Bond related thing people do not like, it's just apparently the first time you read it, I guess because you never cared about the IP at all before you got the idea that you could do a bit of dishonest spamming around it
>>739602158M for Mumbai

>>739601474im 34 but i dont consider craig films true bond movies thats the only way to endure. Same with Star Wars and all other IPs in the last 15 years
okay not sure if this is the right thread to discuss the story but i might pass for this one, although i might try out the sequel gamesi've shared in a previous thread, my main issue is that Bond is "young and inexperienced" and as a fan of suave and very skilled bond, it just feels like we're playing James Bond Jr.also lately i've been watching clips and cutscenes and i noticed>Bond not dressing like classic bond, the impression feels like we're playing nathan drake>M and Q doesn't have the same banter with bond in the movies, it just feels way too professional>Moneypenny isn't flirty>i've heard in a review that the classic bond theme only plays in the ending, same as casino royale's scthick
it isnt Bond without hot girls, btw.
Games take 6 years to develop now. They put him in back then. Turn off desu
>>739619169>remakeswhich?
>>739619770I think they should just lean into Bond being a really sick action movie now, and making Bond a cool character again.The Craig era has this malaise of dreariness about it. They need to kick some energy back into the franchise. It doesn't necessarily have to be "silly", but it should be bright, and loud, and enjoyable. For what it's worth, this game seems fine, although it wouldn't be my first choice for him to be so young.
>>739620147literally has hot girls in it. You people don't know what you're upset about. At least watch the trailers.
>>739620103Casino was really good though
>>739620232yeahi mean some people might want a modern bond origin story, same thing as some people want a batman story back when he's training all around the globebut playing as a "young" bond, isn't really for mealthough in the future, I'm hoping IOI will finally give us the classic bond in the sequels hoping for a mix of roger moore and dalton

>>739620232>The Craig era has this malaise of dreariness about it. They need to kick some energy back into the franchise.That's why this game is so good though? It's back to wisecracking snarky Bond.
>>739620750It crosses the line that the Brosnan era Bond walked between parody and sincerity into the parody camp and it doesn't have the writing chops to pull it off.

>>739620750>though?
>>739620750That's what I'm saying, but the movies need to get away from the Craig stuff as well. The direction of the Craig movies was interesting until Skyfall, and then I was just done with it.
>>739620830Brosnan is my favourite Bond, but I wouldn't call his run particularly great. Goldeneye was the only standout writing and The World is Not Enough was decent. The other two were slop bordering on parody.

>>739608616you realize that game you posted is 25 years old right? a quarter of a century old, in other words
>>739622501I think this is a huge issue on reddit as well, in general that's a place that attracts low IQ people, which was a filter that old forums had as you had to be kinda into computers to participate. The problem is that people on reddit think they represent the entire world and that's why their political predictions are always wrong, the fact that they ban dissenting opinions doesn't help either. You're gonna read the stupidest things you have ever seen in that site and they're absolutely confident about them.
>>739622325007 is more expensive and will have more players than Pragmata by tomorrow, its already super close.you lost.
that opening level feels like a ripoff of uncharted 1as in it treads no new territory and plays exactly as you would expect.>crouch in tall grass>turn on radio to make guard move>ledge climb around cliff until a rock breaks off and you nearly fallwhen you save the mi6 guys and youre all running with the same sprint animation in a line is a bit jarring tooso far not seeing how this is a 10/10 game

>>739622317Claiming First Light is parody camp but Die Another Day ISN'T invalidates your entire post. DAD is the cheesiest, corniest, over the top, ridiculous physics-breaking movie of them all which is fine if that is what you are looking for in Bond, but it it wasn't subtle at all.

>>739622757it's a 007/10 game
>>739603225Instead they turned the main character into a clueless retard that requires POC "guidance" (ie. hazing) to function, which is arguably worsewhite men only are allowed idiot protagonist or cartoon nazi villain roles nowadays

I was 50/50 on buying it, pending a little towards yes so I was going to anyway. But sneaking in Denuvo 3 days before release shifted my inner balance just enough that I decided not to. Its not even about Denuvo itself, but about the scummy way IO went about doing it, almost as if they fucking know they're in the wrong but tried to do it anyway and be sneaky about it.

>>739599742Bond stopped being good after pierce brosnanit stopped being fun and over the top and become generic and lame
How is the gameplay in First Light?Does it let do do whatever the fuck you want like in Hitman or is it linear?I saw that video of the first minutes of gameplay and it looked incredibly linear.
Im a 90s child so I grew up watching Brosnan. To me he is the ultimate Bond. I've seen a few Connery movies and he's decent as well but Brosnan got it right for me. Daniel Craig... he's just not a good Bond unfortunately. I loved Layer Cake and Casino Royale but I dont think he's a good Bond.
>>739601134I can't believe that the last genuinely good Bond film was Goldeneye, which was released over 30 years ago.
>M is a street shitter and Q is a chinklmao
>>739601630
>>739630137Casino Royal was fine.I'd even say No Time to Die (bar absolutely not using Rami) was fine as a Bond-delving film, even if it wasn't a GOOD "Bond" film.
>>739618268>>739626284MindsEye and then this. IOI will be okay, right?
