What went wrong?Do Zoomers not care about James Bond or Khaby Lame?The Bond franchise killed Bizarre Creations and Eurocom. Hopefully IO survives.
>>739663753I haven't seen a single James bond movie
>>739663753Why would zoomers care? Not even sneedllenials give a shit about him anymore
>>739663753>james bond game>play as a faggot pussy looking zoomer boy instead of a sophisticated and suave mature womanizergee I wonder what could cause it to be less popular than other James Bond media??
I legitimately have no idea who that nigger is. I assume a TikTok star or some shit?
>BUGTHESDA>UNSHARTED>PRE ORDER TRACKING :OOOOJust end this gay ass industry bro
When was the last time James Bond was relevant?
no brosnan no buy
>>739663753nu-james bond is shitwhat's the fucking point of it when it's just another generic action flick since they "modernized" bond, (meaning he stops fucking bitches)at least mission impossible still has the fun asspull gadgets.
>>739664251Early 2000s when cars and watches were sold merely on the suggestion they were in a Bond filmI think Die Another Day was the last time the theme made the charts too
>>739664372skyfall did because it was sung by Adele
>>739663753Nobody wants to pay $60 for a linear one-time story heavy game with zero replayability
How much did they expect to sell? 4 million out the gate?
>>739663828Understandable. There hasn't been a new bond film in 5 years and there hasn't been a GOOD bond film in 14 years.
why did he do it?
i heckin love paying 100 dollarydoos (1/10th of $1000) for a 15 hour video game
>>739663753i like casino royale thats it
>>739663753character looks too youngtoo many brownscrappy cutscene animations
>>739663753The fact that the game plays like Indiana Jones or Uncharted is precisely the problem when the game was made by the same people who gave us Hitman.We had the chance to play a Hitman style Bond game, and they delivered generic action man game #47.
>>739663753I watched a stream of it, the colors are extremely washed out, the game looks low polygon which is kinda nutty, and I shit you not half the game is automated cinematic experiences. It transitions so seamlessly you might have had your controller down and immediately are getting punched in the face by enemies. Xbox Series X version
Everyone's giving the portrayal flak for bond being a zoomer but I don't think it's that weird that they went for a younger Bond this time around.James bond has always been a power fantasy for middle aged men. But the current crop of middle aged men (millennials) are vehemently against all of the traditional bond character traits because they think it's problematic or something. So it's not really surprising that they're trying to do something a bit different and see if they can get traction with a different generation.
>>739664608they NEEDED to focus on the story and set piececan't do that with Hitman style gameplay
>>739663753But I loved Indiana Jones...
>>739664667Lots of people your age do, now lets get you your daily stretches before bingo.
>>739663753If it's good, I'll play. I'm not paying $70 for it, though, if that's what they thought.
>>739664608The reviews say the levels are a mix of the 2 styles. With some linear setpieces and some stealth focused sandboxes.
>>739663753Bond has been the domain of monke Craig for like 20 years nowOf course no one gives a fuck anymore
>>739663753>What went wrong?i'm not paying 70 for a 30 hour game no matter who the main character or gameplay is.
>>739663753It costs $70
>>739663753Every person praising this sounds like an insufferable shill trying to reference lore to justify shot or metanarratives about Bond needing to be relevant. Bizarre insecure marketing.Also, they have Bond doing an annoying Dreamworks smirk while having a generic video game protagonist face.
>>739663753>do zoomers not careI'm a millennial and I don't care. It's gen x and boomer core. Pierce brosnan movies came out when I was like 10 or something. Nightfire was a fun game AT THE TIME, but it completely doesn't hold up to contemporary shooters.As an aside, I was blown away by the graphics of goldeneye: rogue agent, which I've never seen anyone of /v/ ever mention. The game was fun but it came out when Halo on xbox live already existed, so no one wanted to play local multiplayer anymore except for halo
>>739663753They marketed it with brown people and non stop articles about how Bond is now for the modern audience or something. What were they expecting?
>>739663753Boomers and Gen X ruined Indiana Jones and Bond way before either game released. No fucking wonder the hype is lukewarm. Nobody wants to play the IP equivalent of moldy bread.
I like 007 but I don't like this one James BondRemembers a bit too much of Nathan Drake, but with an even bigger shit eating grin
>not care about James BondI care about Cressida.
>>739663753this twerp is not Bond
>>739663753Because it's not James Bond. He gets saved at least 3 times from the bad guys by the more competent female agent. Sure, it's cliche for the hero to be saved by a female partner or love interest at least once, but when it happens multiple times it becomes emasculating, and just makes the character looks like an incompetent chump. And that's the entire problem, he comes off as a chump. Even in picture of him he has the stupid ass early 2000s Dreamworks character smirk which was reserved for when the protagonist was a fuck up. No one wants to play that kind of character, not even the modern audience.
>>739663828They're all trash. Watch The Rock instead.
>>739663753Wait, Indiana Jones had bad sales?
>>739663828Not surprising. The franchise has been prime dogshit since the change of millennium.
>>739663753>james bondlol. lmao even. Fucking gay.
>>739665186I played both local co-op. I love local co-op.
>>739663753They thought they could own the chuds. We proved them wrong.
>>739664626You've put way more thought into it than the devs did. They just thought "oh cool we have the Bond license let's make it an origin story and hope it's a success but also make him lame and gay."
>>739663753>>739664293>no brosnan no buyI'll wait for the Brosnan mod.
>>739665320It's really funny that they obviously inserted a couple of sex scenes later in development to try and make him less of a loser, but it doesn't work because the other 90% of the game is him being treated like shit by everyone aside from a couple of faceless lab techs who go "oh boy, Mr Bond you're really cool!". When most of the cast is a girlboss, the mild shittesting even from Greenway starts to get grating.What's funny is that they set the game up for a sequel, as if anyone would ever want to play as this character again.
>>739663753I was told it was for modern audiences and not for me. First IO game I didn't buy at launch since I can't even fucking remember.
Why in what world how could they possibly think anybody gives a shit about james bond in the year 2026.
>>739665736Will that make every women obese?
>>739665320is there a scene equivalent to one that made peter parker famous?
>>739663753Man I don't give a fuck about James Bond, and I actually watched the movies and played all the games. It is the most of a franchise I have consumed in complete disinterest. The zoomers are right on ditching this, Ghostbusters, Star Wars, all that 80s funko pop junk.But also they made a really, really shit James Bond.
>>739664642Didn't they do that with hitman absolution?
>direction of art>writing>game play>sound trackfocus on these things.
>>739665965I can't imagine any man not liking Bond. Note that Craig isn't Bond, all his movies are worse than Die Another Day.
I legitimately have no seen a single (gameplay) trailer for this, but based on the IP and that Indiana Jones game, I get the feeling that this is an interactive movie with even less gameplay and action than the mentioned Uncharted.I.E. despite its developer, it gives the impression of being a walking simulator with a very generic protagonist who gives off Hughie Campbell vibes more than the gravitas of a Sean Connery or Pierce Brosnan. All of that paired with the lack of emphasis on an antagonist and attractive women, which were the core draws of the Daniel Craig era, I'm not sure what they were expecting.Maybe the game has all of the aforementioned and more. Maybe the protagonist is actually the best portrayal of the character and the gameplay is impeccable and there's action setpieces around every corner. I'm not saying there couldn't be, all I'm saying is the marketing has been really dogshit.Not to mention that the IP, while not necessarily deflating in value, has been in a bit of a rough spot for the last decade, what with only two films between 2015-present and no film announced in proper production. I would go so far as to say people are more attracted to the casting of Bond than the movies themselves, and First Light's appears to be the most boring portayal since Roger Moore.Personally, I would've sooner played a Man From UNCLE game loosely based on the 2015 film, starring Henry Cavill's likeness and voice as Napoleon Solo.Thanks for reading my blog.
>>739664372>>739664451Bille Eyelash's (No Time To Die) actually charted higher in the UK than Skyfall, but lower in the US (16th, compared to the former's 8th).Somehow, Duran Duran's "A View to Kill" is the best-charting song in the series' history when accounting for US and UK charts. I only saw the movie once and I can't remember the song at all.
I'm getting this for free with a 5070 ti, is it at least worth the price of free? And does it at least look good to the point of IO losing money on a Blackwell pack-in deal? No one's complaining about performance from what I'm seeing (yet)
>>739666017I agree that Craig isn't Bond and fundamentally misunderstands the character. Some really nice location scouting in Casino Royale that play into that European women and cars fantasy aside that was pretty good in isolation.But the early Connery-adjacent movies are cheap so everythings resolved with exposition dumps, and most after pull some goofy jumping the shark bullshit that's just... retarded.There's some mythical early-Bond rewrite I really like that replaces the "yeah this is what's going on" cheap YA script with, I don't know, drama or whatever. I like the idea of Bond, the character, this intentionally anachronistic 1800s action hero allowed to exist in the post smokeless gunpowder era of cynicism, but I'm just whatever on most of his adaptations.
>>739666020Absolutely not, it's closer from a dishonored than an uncharted. Probably why it didn't had success, they were trying too hard.
>>739663753Yes, considerably.
>>739666190No. I watched it for a couple of hours last night and I want my time back, it was fucking awful.
>>739664608Well to be fair, Bond has been Generic Action Man for the entirety of the century thus far. It's been awhile since he's done any real spywork, or at best he just does it during one sequence in the second act and that's about it. The movies have practically the same formula as Indiana Jones.My issue isn't really that though, it's that from what I've seen the gameplay actually looks worse than Uncharted, which if nothing else functioned pretty good as a TPS cover-shooter with run-and-gun elements. Much better than Gears of War, which IMO always felt clunky as shit.I was kind of hoping for this game to have the vibe of the opening sequence of Uncharted 3, which itself homages the opening sequence of Temple of Doom.
>Jensen. Adam Jensen.
>>739663753The bond franchise ran out of ideas with Skyfall. It’s a boomer franchise now
>>739664251Skyfall and Casino Royale, last time that it had a meaningful impact on pop culture.
>>739663753This game will actually sell because it is good. It will have legs unlike frontloaded garbage like metaphor.
>>739666109Because it was a really good Bond theme and matches Live and Let Die for Moore.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkuUnnlAPZkPair it with the movie score and it's a great ending for the Moore era.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gxzcMuHEFc
>>739663753No one cares about James Bond anymore, and the game looked like "Uncharted + HOURS of dialogue trees"people made fun of James Bond movies for being campy, but the reality is that was the charm of them, they were a bit tongue-in-cheek and ridiculous and that was the charm. Casino Royale (2006) tried to reinvent Bond as a more gritty spy thriller, and whilst the movie is a nice breath of fresh air for the franchise, it had no legs going forward, as every sequel after that was just "Casino Royale but worse", the villains weren't as entertaining, their plots were so much more mundane than anything in the older films, and the commitment to realism meant we all but lost the "gadets" side of the franchisetl;dr version: people made fun of the old campy Bond, but that was where all the charm in the franchise lay, and the new gritty Bond is just boring
>>739663753james gets rescued, insulted and ordered around constantly by woman. the purpesfully made him lame and less competent to push some feminist agenda.game even ends with him having to be rescued by a woman 3 times in a row.
>>739663753There hasn't been a good James Bond film in 24 years, nobody has grown up with this franchise. The modern films are made by people who actively (and publicly) hate them and IO Interactive stated that they had zero intention of making this game feel like any of the classic James Bond films. There is absolutely zero audience for this game and I'm genuinely shocked this game has sold as much as it has.
>>739664129>old school blue would be colour blind today, we move the colour towards more modern hues
>>739663753>more in line with Indiana JonesIndiana Jones peaked at 13k.007 peaked at 55k.Whos the retard that said they were close lol
>>739665320pretty much, it has become so overdone i already knew it was going to happen the moment the first announced it also its 4 times, not 3. earlier in the game they both get knocked out by a bad guy and she easily frees herself and rescues james again while james is still beaten up.
>>739666656>whilst the movie is a nice breath of fresh air for the franchiseIt was Bourne slop. I honestly think that people who liked CR are the same kind of retards who watched Star Wars 7 and went "yeah, that's alright".Everything about the movie is shit. The love interest is shit, the plot is shit, the drama is shit, the gay torture scene is shit, the ONLY saving grace of the movie is that Mads plays a half-decent bad guy. And retards saw this and went "no dude it's totally Bond, just reimagined!". Craig was a terrible fit for the role.
>>739666784Eh, after the Brosnan films started getting a bit TOO ridiculous it was interesting to see a serious take on Bond, but I think it should have been a one-off in hindsight
>>739663753I love Bond, but the shit was product of a literally different time in almost every conceivable respect.Bond Women, Bond Theme, Bond Gadgets, it's all shit that just doesn't fit well or impress in modern society. Like, how do you get a zoomer excited about Bond having a wristwatch that fires bullets or paralytic-poison dart cufflinks, when he can go on youtube and watch people build and test out their own assassin hidden blades, flamethrowers, and hoverboards?
>>739666826If you want a serious take on Bond, you just have to go back to Dalton, he played him as a total sociopath.
>Those fucking ECONOMIC TERRORIST CHUD ZOOMERS aren't buying my HECKIN WHOLESOME 100% CHUNGUS JAMES BOND GAME
>>739665830IOI doesn't deserve anyone's money after the shit they pulled with H3 being an Epic exclusive and needing a literal Excel sheet to know how to buy the game. The woke shit is the final nail in the coffin. Pirate Hitman, it's a fantastic game, but IOI can fuck off and die.
>>739666754>brown guy doesn't understand englishpreorders are not steam sales you retard
>>739666875Don't worry IOI, I might buy it on sale in a few years
>>739663753>licensed IP gameswhat is this 2005?give me some more hitman you fucks
>>739663753All they had to do was at least Blood Money Hitman but with the Bond Flair and they couldn't do that.
>>739663753When are companies going to stop cathering to this so-called and nonexistent "modern audience" and start to apply again basic market laws like "supply and demand" regarding what consumers and fans really wants?
Want to keep the Bond name? Then keep it Bond too, dumbo.Trying to sell people Jimmy, the awkward Internship agent under that name will not get you any favorable response
>>739667312When the fiat money/ESG will be dismantled. You as the consumer are never part of anything they do unless the government needs to rob you at gunpoint, at which point you shut up and pay to not die.
>>739667329After 20 years of Craig, there is no Bond identity anymore.
>>739667312There is no MUH GROWTH in selling products to an existing audience. The corporations think that the people who are not yet their audience is where the real big money is.
>>739667401doubling down on that mistake wasn't going to improve things either way
>>739667381>vote for Red Zogparty instead of Blue Zogparty What a long winded piece of shit post just to endorse ZOG again kek
>>739667591Obviously, but Bond is just Bourne-lite now. They COULD have made a game set in the 80s with exotic locales and hot women, but they wouldn't get any ESG investment without the mandated minorities, which means it needs to be a "modern" setting.

>>739667774The thing about money is that it's ultimately nothing more than a medium for exchanging things. It's the physical manifestation of power, influence. It doesn't matter what it is so much as what it can do.
Who the hell cares about James bond anymore. I watched one of these modern movies and basically he was scolded by women and called a sexist chud while some POWERFUL nigger girlboss was pushed as his replacement. Comedy.
>>739667873I’m just not voting for Redzog just to own Bluezog, sorry. You have to try harder to get people to vote for you, especially when you call us shills and openly lie about people who more accurately represent us (Massie, Fishback etc.) to remove them from your Gay Old Faggot Party
>>739663753>What went wrong?Nobody outside of a retirement home gives a shit about bond, the fantasy is dead.It's too much to believe that there's a contemporary Monarchy called Great Britain localized on the same island as Bongladesh>>739666190M is a Jeet who trusts an AI that hallucinates intel reportsf or her to protect britain, your direct supervisor is an uppity nigger who hates you because you tried to stop a bomb plot while he was sitting on his ass all day watching a chess game and instead of being buried by rubble he only ended up with a broken arm.Apparently adding good gameplay to alpha protocol is too tall of an order because nobody can write anything remotely close to alpha protocol.

video games should be gameplay with a few cutscene, not cutscence with a few gameplay
>>739663753I grew up with Bond movies but it's been so long since I touched anything from the franchise that I've stopped caring entirely. This also just looks like your stereotypical AAA cinematic, linear game so it doesn't really appeal from that point of view either.
Zoomers killed another thing
>>739663753He looks like James Bond Jr
>>739668556Wow, so you're genuinely either a brown retard or straight up baiting me. God of War games are based on greek tragedies and feature a doomed hero who initially just wants to be left the fuck alone after the horrible death of his family then falls into full on murder rage when he has enough of all the bullshit in GoW 3. Anyways, you will never be white.
>>739663753If I can't kill minorities I'm not buying your game okay
>>739668660are zoomers the good guys?
>>739663753Did they really expect Uncharted levels from this slop? Really?
Because its garbage DEI slop. dn the main characetr is a baby facd bitch boy, not an agent.Also, people are sick of intelligence agencies.
>>739663753That's Natan Drake
IMO James Bond was always incredibly shallow as a franchise but persisted because our entertainment options were limited. The internet really showed what franchises people still find interesting and which don't
>>739663753games where britain does something cool and impressive are on the same level as games where russia takes over the world. vitanarrative dissonance, if you will
>>739668324>The 20th century is dead in the 21st centuryReverting insight, brownie. But enough for today, we'll learn about 2-3 tomorrow
Indiana Jones didnt have a PS5 or Switch 2 release at launch, so if it's only doing as well as Indiana Jones while coming out on everything, that isnt a good look for James Bond.
>>739668798>Also, people are sick of intelligence agencies.This, especially MI6, anything British establishment, makes me think teh game will make me kill some guy for talking about Paki rape gangs and I bet there's a button to praise the queen

>>739668845>Zoomie doesn’t understand allegory
>>739663753This iteration of Bond is just not that likeable.But even with the DEI bullshit aside. It just did not look very good.
The reveal trailer where 90% of MI6 was brown nurtured a lot of the hype that the trailer was supposed to jumpstart with Bond's core demographic. It's hard to overestimate how big of an affect this first impression had.
>>739668962>nurtured*neutered, damn it.
>>739668962Why do you like brown people so much?
>>739663753I didn't even know this game exists and came out.
>>739669165I found out yesterday
>Your dialogue choices lead to the exact same outcomes and dialogues.Bravo IOI
>>739663753Bond has been dead ever since they switched over to Daniel Craig
>>739669109That was a typo. Bond's core demographic is largely white men older than 30, with nationalist leanings. The kind of guy who believes in stuff like king and country, for instance. But even non-english people who like their country can relate to it. The main justification for Bond killing and beating people is because he's doing it for his country. More personal motives are typically introduced halfway into his stories, but his missions always start out with a big picture approach.So when you take that country loving audience and show them all these ethnically non-british people that James is fighting for, it can have an outsized impact on their opinion of what the story will be like. I'm not saying this way of thinking is good, just that it is what it is. You don't want to show them a DEI cast right off the bat if you want to hold their interest after the reveal trailer.
>>739663753With every passing decade a "contemporary Bond" becomes less and less plausible, let alone fun. Just look at that Craig era shit sans Casino Royale.Just ditch it already and go back to the 60s. Zoomers don't give a fuck about a Zoomer Bond anyway.
>>739669451im pretty sure people like bond because hes a spy
>>739663753Unironically in a non-shitposting way, who is this game's target market?
>>739669451People like Bond because it’s a campy spy thriller based on dime novels. The action matters first and foremost
>>739663828Read the books first. The movies leave out a lot of details
>>739669570Retarded white nationalists from peru, brazil, venezeula, india and sri lanka who found HITMAN™ world of assassination to be too intellectual challenging.
>>739669681Are they any good though or is it the case where the movies moved it into a better direction?
>>739663828They're all shit dont bother.
>>739669570The devs themselves were, before it went through a bunch of consultancy departments.
>>739663828the idea of bond is better than any of the actual movies
>>739663753Bond really hasn’t been a juggernaut franchise since 2007. Other spy thriller franchises like Bourne and John Wick overtook it.Most of the younger generation see Bond as a dated product of its time.
>>739663753>Do Zoomers not careMate, James Bond is boomer shit
>>739664553this but unironically
I was excited for their bond game years ago when they announced it, but the naked greed they showed with the way they handled the third entry in the new hitman trilogy really sapped any kind of enthusiasm I had for anything IO. Hard to get behind them when they treat their customers like absolute garbage.
>>739663753Europe was destroyed because of Britian's warmongering. You see all of the brown people? That is Britain's fault. You see all of the former communist bloc states? That is also Britain's fault. 60 Million European deaths? Yeah, that is also mostly on them.So yeah, I am not to fond of the bongs or their icons and have no interest in James Bond. Also, the game is full of browns (see above).
>>739663753Because james bond has sucked for the past 26 years
>>739663753I'm Millennial and I stopped giving a fuck once Craig's era started. Midge grumpy fag, terrible Bond.
>>739664642The most memorable setpiece in any IO game is waking up from the coffin in blood money. Certainly that moment will live on long after the bond game is completely forgotten.
>>739669717The books are more serious than the movies and depict Bond as an emotionally unstable sociopath. People forget how much of the books were about his emotional insecurities and psychological trauma.
On top of how shitty IO has been lately, when I started seeing the game described as being similar to uncharted, that really killed my interest in it. Fucking hate Uncharted.
>>739669717the first two Connery film and the one Lazenby film capture the vibe of the books fairly well. But the movies sanitize bond. He's way more cold, cruel, sexist, heavy smoking, heavy drinking 1950s man in the books.
>>739663753All women are old/pajeetas
>>739670004That was also easily the worst level in Blood Money as it was just a shootout carried purely by vibes with nothing else to it.The worst Hitman levels are ones that deviate from the sandbox formula in some way.
>>739668474Craig's movies did better than Brosnan but his movies were Jason Bourne ripoffs and not really bond movies. Craig himself is a downgrade from Brosnan in every way so despite the greater success people still associate Bond with Brosnan.
>>739669497>>739669641You're not asking the right question. It isn't "Why do people like Bond", it's "Who likes Bond enough to buy stuff with his name on it, and how do we not tread on their toes with our first trailer". It's the same problem that keeps happening with other franchises, like Dr. Who. The marketers assume the core audience will show up no matter what, so they're free to target a new demographic that isn't currently invested in the product.
>>739668542jag refusing to sell their new woke cars in non retarded colours is something that needs investigating
Diamonds are Forever, You Only Live Twice and the World is Not Enough are the best Bond SongsTom Jone's live version of Moonraker is really good tooShirley Bassey is fantastic but the song is meant for a man
>>739670178Craig just doesn't have the charisma that Brosnan or Connery had.
>>739668763always weremillennials are the bad guys
>>739664608>action man gameIf only
>gmanlives glazing the game while his b-roll looks mid as fuckAt least he was upfront with the fact that the game doesn't even use the Bond theme until the credits.
>>739663753i am not interested in zoomer james bond nigga. the appeal of bond is him being a macho man not a skinny ahh twink
>>739670974you can say ass here
>>739670915Oh shit I had this one as a kid!
>>739670994shut your ahh up unc
>>739663753>Can’t dress up as a clown and disarm a nuclear weaponWhy would I buy this?
>>739670821He just doesn't look or act the part. He's like a cross between E.T. and Al Bundy.
>>739664129>Ifunny
>>739663753>James Bond game>you play as twink Tom CruiseWhat they were thinking? From the very first teaser this always looked like a Mission Impossible game for me.
>>739663753I can't take a bond under 40 seriously. Ideally bond is between 42 and 48 years of age.
>>739663828it's boomer john wick
>>739663753I don't care about storybased rail shooters where the hardest diffifulty, I can stand in an enemies face while slowly reloading and still not die while he unloads his infinite ammo gun on me.Also brown people.
>>739668845Do you even have a real complaint, you stupid kid?
>>739671303Unfortuneately it didn´t even looked as good as M:I. Just check this trailer out kid and tell me you´re not interested as playing ethan hawkehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixhdw9o3RyA
>>739663828Once you've seen one, you've seen all of them
>>739663753I always associate Bond with that Brosnan? guy. Ehat went wrong with me, bros?
>>739670915Action Man But it's just a point and click adventure to figure out how to do insane bullshit in bullettime mode
>>739672217You know why.Not because of the game itself, but the meme it spawned.
>>739663753>Do Zoomers not care about James BondZoomers got skullfucked with "toxic masculinity" and you're trying to sell them that game now? And it's not even the real James Bond, it's some fruity looking smiley face dude. Fire all your devs or whatever idiots consulted for this shit. It's ridiculous. JamesBond IS the literal Twilight or 50 shades fantasy but for a male audience. You either go full pedal to the metal or you go home, you don't do DEI safe shit. Absolute idiocy to make this type of game today. Also James Bond IP hasn't been relevant since before Daniel Craig had his stints as the character. Zoomers? Fucking Millennials don't give a fuck about James Bond, and you trying to make the setting some wish washy woke-lite thing is completely missing the point of the character. The male fantasy evolves with the times. James Bond was a character created for the time when vacations were fucking hard to get, and during a turbo prudish cultural period in western culture, so you had this suave womanizer who fucked a lot of women (male fantasy), visited exotic places(vacations), played with ridiculous toys(male fantasy), drove expensive vehicles which had loads of gadgets and toys themselves(male fantasy), fought the bad guy(violence as male fantasy) etc. TODAY, the James Bond character has to appeal to a generation of males who don't do any of the above so that they can vicariously live through the character and if you're trying to appeal to women with a game like this then that means you're not taking your jobs seriously. If you release a James Bond video game today or in the future and the video game "journalist" class and feminist and the other freaks don't absolutely shit themselves WAY MORE than they shat themselves when Stellarblade released, then you made a shitty JB game.If the writers or devs or whoever made this game didn't think in the above terms, the game was doomed from da1 because the core fantasy of the character is nowhere to be found.
>>739663753Do people even remember who Khaby Lame was?
I don't really care, stop adapting shit, make your own franchises.
>>739664553This. Games need to be 100+hrs of busywork and procedurally generated quests. I love clearing hundreds of copy pasted bandit camps for exp and loot to grow up my character. If I pay full price I want content damnit
>>739672539>sold his youtube channel to a big company and dippedWhat the fuck was the point in buying it if the guy took off after selling it? Like what was their master plan?
>>739672539I never even heard of him before this week.
>>739663753It's a streamer slop.
>>739668474skyfall was a huge hit at the time
>>739663828You should watch Austin Powers instead.
>>739663828Watch xXx with Vin Diesel, its the best bond movie
>>739672852I'm sorry, but The Rock is the best Bond movie.
Is the game any good? How does it compare to nuHitman? I quite liked replaying levels to complete challenges.
>>739663753>find article because OP is a gigafag>articles source is a fucking xwitter post based on a retardera commentI hate you faggots so goddamn much.
>>739672539>10 buckslmao. the markup must be crazy on this
>>739674903i've heard stories claiming that it goes for less than a dollar nowadays and still nobody's buying it
>>739663828You're not really missing out. It's something people watched in the past because there was less to watch.
>be nu-Bond>see a bunch of upstanding minorities chasing an evil british 9-year old girl>shoot her in the leg>the good pakis take her away to a warehouse
>>739663753should've had brosnan with weight gain mechanics.
>>739667312They don't just want to cater to the modern audience, they want to create it.
>>739668542Is that the gay new Jaguar nobody wants to buy?
you guise can hate bond and say it’s dead but pretending the last twenty years and craig HASNT been the most financially and critically successful era of the character is just wrong and incorrect and denying reality
>>739663753Shoulda made a new Hitman. Nobody wants this James Bond shit, specially not a twink faggot James Bond.
>>739675382More people have TVs in the 2010s compared to the 1990s across the globe. The whole "more eyes", higher gross is such a fucking retarded way of looking at relationship between success and entertainment.
>>739663753I'm 32 and I do not care about James Bond. James Bond is another example of the British forcing their shitty cultural touchstones on the rest of the world because the USA chose them to lead Europe after WW2. Not everything British sucks, of course, lots of good music from them and I like Top Gear. Aside from that though? Bond is the definition of boomerslop, and not even good boomerslop.
>>739663753I dont trust western devs and for good reasonEven the bikini woman has safe horny wide waistsIll let the trannies buy it lole
we all agree that pierce brosnan era bond was peak
>>739675720people bring their TVs to the movie theatre?
>>739675739James Bond cant resonate with this generation. He's a fucking deep state glowie. People unironically prefer joker or homelander.
>>739663753The game presents probably the worst example of multicultural brainrot that you can.>Nearly every character is a different race or ethnicity for maximum divesity>Bond is allowed to flirt with women, but every flirt has to be responded with by a barb from another woman. Keep a running tally of flirting vs insulting/emasculation>Bond is forced to be the subservient of a black dude who is a veteran agent plus brown women>Is 'young' so it is an excuse for everyone to treat him like a retarded kidThis does not appeal to the fantasy of James Bond. James Bond does not have an HR department following him around telling him how to act. MI6 would be filled with old white guys, a few old white ladies, and then the young agents who would be mostly white with a few indians mixed in. Instead the agency looks like a college advertisement.I either get the feeling like the devs hated James Bond but were forced to make it OR they got James Bond to be a heterosexual white male and so they had to make every other concession to keep it that way.
>>739675869Don't you?
>>739675929Also this. James Bond is literally outdated. He is some glownigger special agent that represents the government that hates you. Back in the day he was a cold warrior defeating the soviets and other spies. Nowadays he would be arresting people for social media memes.
>>739675929bond is what glowies are supposed to be but everyone is very disillusioned with this idea
>>739675331Wait, it's a real car? I thought it was fake not just because of the looks but because of the logo looking like bootleg jaguar. Like where did the jaguar go? Jesus.
>>739664129Nice Fake news bro.
The only bond game I remember doing well was the one on the Nintendo 64. Every other game either sucked or wasn't good enough for anyone to talk about. And all the movies are just advertisements for products. idk why they thought they were gonna make bank.
>>739676082nightfire was pretty fun
>>739663753Zoomers are tired of millennial wokeslop.
>>739670178
I wonder if people in this thread realize the entire population of the uk will purchase this game simply out of patriotic duty; as they do the films
>>739676118And, yes, it's millennialtroons doing this shit.
>#1 seller on Steam>IOI's top Steam game (Hitman 2 was botted when it went free for a weekend for trading cards)I dunno seems to be doing ok to me.
>>739676118I think everyone is tired. This feels kinda like another Gollum situation.
>>739676128Most of the Faggots here on /v/ arent even gamers. Theyre just Posers in engagement farming.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_hLmZVwOrg'member when james bond was kino?I 'member
>>739676128Are there even enough of them left for it to make a difference? /doubt
>>739676176Hope it reaches up to 200k by the end of the month...
>>739676162Millenial hate is a meme pushed by ((them)). Yes zoomers please please focus your hate on the generation who doesnt even own homes instead of the ones who own and dictate everything in western media.
>>739676064Yeah, pic related. The car + the ad campaign.
>>739676176>>#1 seller on SteamDo people really not understand how relative rankings like this work, or are they just pretending?Asking for myself.
>>739676237the most recent bond film, no time to die, is the second highest grossing film in the uk. the first highest grossing film in the uk is skyfall, another bond film
>>739676286This shook up the marketing industry, this is when the layoffs starting hitting heavy. And now AI is about to take the other half. Cursed commercial indeed.
>>739663753Why do they keep using these lame ass boomer IP that have weaker brand recognition than their own gaming series? Nobody gives a fuck about 007 or Indian Jones, everybody would prefer a new wolfenstein or hitman game.
>>739676419Or you know, more John Wick shit, Sicario. Something relevant.
>>7396637531. James Bond is culturally dated. There hasn't been a Bond movie in almost 15 years. The youth generations know Bond only as their uncs (literally their uncles') scrimblo bimbo character.2. If you want to pander to that older millennial/genX crowd, you will fail. By all accounts, the late-30s-to-50s crowd is washed. They don't play videogames anymore, and anytime they try, they get immediately filtered by something stupid and blame it on the zoomers. You will never sell anything to the bitter washed up millennial crowd besides cheap nostalgiafaggotry wanking ever again.3. Your target zoomer demographic, ie the one with the motivation to still play games (not the washed up uncs), is a bunch of broke ass niggers, there's a reason they play nothing but gachashit and gaslight themselves into thinking it's free.People will blame it on the mid-tier Uncharted gameplay, but Uncharted sold gangbusters back in the day.
>>739676286I am absolutely convinced that somewhere outside of the West we are being looked at like lab rats, and this kind of pozzed "culture shift" is just a massive psyop experimentHow do I get out of the maze bros I hate it here
>>739676386That's extremely grim news.
>>739663753IOI wanted James Bond so badly for years only for ironically everyone else to just want Hitman from them
>>739672713same
>>739663753>Straight white male. >Single player, no microtransactions. >Hot women. >Still complain. If you can't see that you have been completely mindbroken by the left to where you can't even see up or down anymore then I don't know what to tell you.
>>739663753>What went wrong?I was going to buy it. But they added denuvo, and I don't pay for malware.
>>739676419007 did more sales than the entire Hitman WOA trilogy you zoomie shitstain.
>>739676484Both of those are worse brands than wolfenstein, maybe games should stop acting like anyone under 35 gives a shit about Hollywood.
>>739676551Good morning saar
>>739676118>Young white guy that is young and dumb so everyone can make fun of him>Every person who has authority over him is black or a brown woman>Old boomer is the wacky gadget guy with 2 seconds of screen time>Strong independent woman who 'lets' Bond flirt with her in between making fun of him
>>739676487This is a bullshit outdated article you're replying to.
>>739676286Absolute comedy.>>739676505I can only imagine how many conditions must have been set for them to be able to touch it. IOI is not a bad studio, Hitman is fucking based. But this game is way to DEI and not even a good studio could fix it.
>>739676565No one gives a shit about wolfenstein dude. Especially after the last three games. They would be better off sticking to mainstream shit.
>>739676035>>739676061Why is Leon so popular then?
>>739676346>The same people are telling you a game with a 200M+ budget but couldnt break 60k concurrent is a smashing success.I wonder
>>739676560The game came out a few hours ago, no it didn't. If you're talking about prior James bond games they haven't been relevant for longer than the completely irrelevant film franchise
>>739676591LARPING troons like you are easy to spot. The fact the Anons ITT are actually falling for your psyop is impressive.
>>739676703sexoooooooooooo
>>739676740Seething AND Reddit spacingJust go back, lil guprett
>>739676740SAAAAAAR
>>739676703Because I don't really feel like Leon being a special agent really factors into his character other than just getting him to Spain or Raccoon City or whatever. In RE4 they do make a few comments about Americans, but it feels so cheesy and Leon responds basically like the audience does.The vibes are just different. Bond is almost always acting in authority for the government. Leon is just fighting zombies, I guess with the Government's support, but we all hate zombies regardless.
>>739666463My favorite Bond theme is The World is Not Enough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBrz-5ai1moThe movie is kind of shit though... got completely ripped off for that shitty third Nolan Batman.
>>739676650Yes and even fewer give a shit about Indian Jones or john wick, if nobody cares about your main IP then make a new one, reaching for boomer Hollywood or b-tier IP isn't going to save you
>>739676892John Wick would easily make more money than Wolfenstein on name alone.
>>739666109Nigga it is Duran Duran, of course it was popular.
>bond game>written by people who don't like bond>developed for people who don't like bondI can't believe it underperformed!
>>739676035'Queen and country' doesn't really resonate with either side these days.
>>739676776So here's the grift. You LARP as is if you aren't a seething troon and shit on a game that doesn't have a bunch of fags and troons running around in it. Then later on you can't point to it and say that the woke faggotry you like to have shoved into games isn't the problem. It will be like clockwork. Just watch.

>>739666020>Personally, I would've sooner played a Man From UNCLE game loosely based on the 2015 film, starring Henry Cavill's likeness and voice as Napoleon Solo.That was a fun and sadly underrated movie.
>Pander to millennials>Give them the gameplay that they grew up playing (Uncharted propped up Naughty Dog's finances for 3 straight console generations)>The millennials make up a bunch of bullshit culture war nonsense to excuse why they're too poor to buy it>"Fucking zoomers did they by uhhh existing"The millennial midlife crisis is unironically smothering online discourse around the world. Millennials are parasites on virtually every hobbyist forum in the modern era. All they do is seethe about being old and underachieving while projecting that anger about being failures onto everyone around them. 4chan itself is fucking dying because nobody comes here anymore, there's nothing to talk about except [jerking off your precious childhood memories] and seething. I think there's a Pragmata thread on this board that's almost 4 days old and isn't even halfway to the bump limit. This place is a fucking ghost town. A tiny handful of bitter chopped NEETschizos in their 40s who chased away everyone else and do nothing but endlessly reply to each other.
>>739677204i got more money than you lil gup
>>739663753James Bond is cool. This game has some fag in it that isn't James Bond.
>>739677204found your channel
>>739663828>>739665463>>739671398>>739672803>>739672852Seen all of these and enjoyed them tribal fucking faggots.But i can see zoomers not enjoying the old Bond movies. But i guess if you want to see one check Goldeneye. It is a good middle ground that might grab your attention enough to use 2 screens instead of 3.
>>739677204>Millennial>grew up playing unchartedI am a millennial and i was 21 when uncharted came out. We didn't grow up playing those games we were already adults lol.
>>739677342Most of the Bond movies do suck though. There is a whole wasteland of forgettable Bond flicks. It was always the few diamonds that stuck out.
>>739670181the core demographic of doctor is people with nationalist leanings?

>>739663828Bond was MCU capeshit before MCU capeshit, you're not missing out
>>739677481It depends. Some Bond movies are way above others. But for me they all have their fun taste. I might just be a sucker for the old school british archtype. Too bad most of it got replaced by Hollywood checkboxes.

>>739677949It's funny because Ferrari just did the same thing with their new faggy EV that no one likes lol.
>>739663753Hasn't been a good James Bond movie in over decade. Made by a dev that's not exactly known for making games that are must haves. Wasn't too much demand for this game. Doesn't help reviews are just good. Not really good or great.
>>739677949rich people have luxury beliefs anon
>>739677896>sold 49 cars in a single month, down from almost 2k the previous year for the same month.KEK
>>739677578How the fuck did your brain tell you that's what I meant? Are you drunk right now?
>>739672536Good assessment, also who even asked for this game?
>>739678062They also don't buy the cars as proven by this>>739677896
>>739678031The last good Bond was Skyfall, I think. That came out in 2012.
>>739678020Looks like one of those "Ferraris" some African builds that's powered by pedals and made from fiber glass
>>739663753>3 girlbosses lecturing him, saving him, the entire game The game is literally a male figure humiliation ritual How the fuck the woke audience is not buying this crap?
>>739678108yeah I'm just saying I can see how a marketer who travels in those circles might think it's a good idea
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXhjR44CCtAdo you like the theme?
>>739678089I think it has more to do with retaining licensing. Kind of like how Disney will release a movie for an IP nobody cares about. They would rather just have something out there so they can keep claim to it.
>>739678198They absolutely get locked into a reinforcing echochamber of bad ideas once they think they've hit a creative 'leap'. I just, after watching that video I can't believe Jaguar killed itself, one bad idea after another. People buy for the heritage of the car branding, they deleted their own entire social media history, everything, rebranded their logo, removed cars from their dealerships for an entire year, didn't sell anything, stopped production of all cars and instead only sold the brand new 3 EV car line up they had changed to, and for over $100k each.If I wanted to destroy a car brand and company, I'd do exact what Jaguar did. Anyway back to the game, it should be an Aston Martin not a Jag for Bond's car.
>>739676551Based dishonest anon pretending to not understand things in order to make his point.
>>739663753Zoomers care about John Wick not james bond
>>739676286So that's why they chose them instead of the usual Aston.
>>739676162>it's not leftists, it's millenialssure thing 'berg
In the Nightfire game Bond bangs like 7 different women. In this game he gets shit on constantly.Fuck IO and fuck the shills.
>>739663828It's a series for boomers, Gen x and older millennials the modern audience millennials make up like .001% of that nobody wants to play DEI bond. Gen A and zoomers don't really watch movies at all. They watch horror slop
>>739678643desu "leftist" and "millenial" is almost synonymous given how much these demographics overlapt. basedllenial
People want a homelander game. It's true. It would sell a billion dollars. It's true.
>>739663753How many women with wierd names like "lotta cox" does James Bond bang in this game?
>>739678907>Do a prototype again!I'm not against it, but I'm also not in a hurry to play copypaste.
>>739663753>Young BondYoung _______ is almost always shit, so even their starting premise before starting production was already on a bad foundation. Not to mention they got Bond completely wrong like >>739665320 said

>>739679413>>Supposedly with fucking influencers appearing in his gameIt's confirmed, at least one meme nigger and Jacksepticeye, and I believe a good few others. Why would anyone want e-celeb retards in their game, idk. It's not even like Dispatch and its "we took e-celebs as voice actors" which might be ok, it's just "look it's random dirty retard#58 with 60 million subs!"
>>739679510>Churchill literally started cryinglol what a bitch
>>739663753He’s more Lames Bond in this one
>>739679510>Churchill literally started crying when Roosevelt sided with Stalin over Poland you disgusting inbred mutt.The same Churchill who refused to declare war against the Soviets at any point during a 6 years war when the Soviets invaded Poland less than 2 weeks after Germany did (and Germany had legitimate reasons to do so and gave peace offers on day 2 of the conflict)
>>739680462It was almost like he was already at war with another major power, stop being retarded.
>>739680823Damn, it's almost like he could have made peace to not be at war with 2 major powers at the same time
>>739663828Austin Powers is more loved than anything James Bond at this point because it was always a dogshit franchise loved by pathetic boomers that wanted to larp what they thought was cool.
>>739681032>Bro I know I already told you I was going to stop the other 3 times but this time I'm foh realNigger
>>739681593
I love James Bond. 'Young, Bond is literally the lamest idea for the game, I have 0 interest of it what so ever. I have watched couple of trailers and from them it looked like the game is even more heavily scripted Hitman. That is the impression I've got. First trailer should have been about the villan, villans are as important as Bond, if not more. Just look at movie titles, like half of them are named after the villan.
>>739681684Almost like the g*rms started another chimpout 20 years earlier and then complained they had to pay reparations
>>739663753It's too expensive.Sure I can afford it but I can't justify spending $100 on a video game.Especially when I could get Subnautica 2 for $45 or Outer Wilds for $18I'll wait for it to go on sale for $50 or less then I might buy it if people really liked it and it has at least 15 hours of (non-replaying missions) gameplay.
>>739681992>>739681684even literal children in school are taught the treaty of versailles. maybe americans don’t teach it
>>739681032Why declare war on the Soviets for doing what the Germans did if you make peace with the Germans? Also Germany was much closer then the soviet union so it is the clear priority. One again you are being retarded.
>>739663753that indiana jones game came out?
>>7396823922 years ago anon
>>739682336Because the Germans, unlike the Soviets who were on an actual colonization streak, only wanted to fix the obvious and objective crimes of the treaty of Versailles, a treaty that many called out as bullshit from the very first time they saw it. All Poland had to do was let Germany have a small corridor to access Danzig, which again was explicitly stated in the very treaty to be an independent city that offered services to both, not a raped hostage of the Poles. And this agreement was going very well when Pilsudski was in charge until his death in 35, it's after that warmongering retards started genuinely believing they could take Berlin in 2 weeks because Poles are small-dog brained.
>>739682817>the obvious and objective crimes of the treaty of Versailles
>>739675940They're probably just going off the newer Bond books where he's a completely emasculated cuck who hates and wants to kill the villain because they don't hire enough minorities and immigrants for their evil schemes, and their actual crimes are a secondary thing for him.I'm not joking.
>>739683030>Promise to be fair to Germany if they surrender despite not a single enemy soldier stepping on their territory>Germany accepts>Ass rape Germany with an unfair treaty that violates every previous agreement, France literally invades a good chunk of Germany and sends colonized niggers to rape their women>Somehow this isn't a crimeFrance had been ungabunga brainwashed to hate Germany for many decades, and this was the result. Germans were not at fault, the French elites (who liberated then worshiped a full on traitor, the jew Dreyfus) were for turning the entire country into an anti-German sect.
>>739683281Genuinely, who is responsible for writing this shit?
>>739682817>Because the Germans, unlike the Soviets who were on an actual colonization streakJust ignore Czechoslovakia, Poland Austria, then their plans on the USSR. Once again you are being retarded.
>>739682817The only crime of Versailles was not dismembering "germany" into it's component pre-prussian states.
>>739682817>only wanted to fix the obvious and objective crimes of the treaty of VersaillesWhat do you mean? The treaty of Versailles was extremely lenient.
>>739664251Skyfall, before that Casino Royale, both well over 10 years ago at this point
>>739665238They made him young so they could neuter his personality. I haven't seen much but what i did see didnt move me, and the abundance of redguards was jarring. It's not the IP, it's the execution.
is it more hitman or more alpha protocol
>>739683437Austria was a reunification that was approved by a referendum with around 99.7% yes (only communists, foreigners and jews weren't allowed to vote). It was literally nicknamed the "war of the flowers" because not a single shot was fired, the Germans were welcomed with flowers, it was their homeboy returning with an economic miracle.>CzechoslovakiaA fake country full of ethnic tension dominated by a small clique of bloodthirsty Czech, Poland itself and Hungary invaded as well. All Germany did was save and retake Ethnic Germans.>Poland Already explained, willful ignorance on your part.>then their plans on the USSRThe USSR was (and did) getting ready to invade dozens of countries with subhuman commie herds, killing dozens of millions in the process.>>739683483>>739683534Mask off, jews want to kill all Germans for resisting their tikun olam, more news at 7.
>>739664553Your fault for being a sick cunt
>>739683340>blah blah blahVersailles was a meme tailored to satisfy Britain's ambitions.Foch was right, he was proven right, and there's nothing you can say or do about it.
>>739683547no time to die is the third highest grossing film in the uk and the highest grossing film of 2021
>>739664129This is why I am not interested despite loving Hitman.
>>739663753Well they said they wanted to give bond modern values so thats a pretty big problem
>>739683690>Austria was a reunificationIncorrect.>A fake countryLike America and Germany>Already explainedYes, it was colonialism.>The USSR was (and did) getting ready to invade dozens of countries with subhuman commie herdsBut when Germany does it it's ok? Interesting.Once again stop being retarded. Germany destroyed Europe.
>M is a fucking jeeta>moneypenny is a black zoomette>Q looks swarthy>bond looks like he's in his 20sI'm just not fucking interested man, they lost me at the fucking jeet M. If the game is good then great, but I'm not paying 70 fucking dollars for it.
>>739664462Most retarded take on the situation
>>739683907>mentally ill jew hating on Germany, exhibit 4783
>>739683690>The treaty of Versailles was super mean because... because it just was!
>>739663753>Hoped for Hitman WoA with hair and cutscenes>It's Hitman WoA but there is only 1 approach to the problem and in case you don't immediately get it, the game tells you what to do(and if you are still too dumb, it plays itself) with hair and cutscenes and marvel quips
>>739683956>Germany destroys Europe, kills millions of Europeans and kills European colonialism to stop the JewsInsane.
>>739663753I think this young bond is really lame compared to the movie bonds.
>>739684146
>>739664251Casino RoyaleSkyfall was something of a dead cat bounce to many, but I still think that movie was overrated as hell
>>739663753That ain't JB
>>739669570The modern audience
>>739663828Same. It's boomer trash
>>739684146This. Th new bond looks like basedboy zoomer, not a suave, refined gentleman.Nice milkers btw.
>>739663753Idk what a khabby is but I never seen or played a Bond, not even your holy grail golden eye (it looks lame)>t. 22 zoomer
>>739664553I am all for this as long as PPH (Price per hour) is mandatory to be shown based on average playthrough time with heavy penalties to publishers if they lie about it.
>>739664251As a movie, Casino Royale, as a music video with a movie attached at the end, Skyfall.
I never heard about this Khaby dude even once in my entire life despite not even being 30.
>>739663753Amazon wants to modernize Bondthis is only the first step
>>739663753Honestly, I didn't knew it was coming this week. Marketing has been quite lackluster and the addition of a tiktoker really feels at odds with the regular Bond audience.
>>739686041Probably the only step at this rate.Younger modern audiences hate the character in general and no amount of "modernization" will pull them in, meanwhile all that said modernization will also alienate millennials and older because it's nothing like the Bond they like.
Why does it seem like there are no consequences whatsoever in the industry for releasing AAA flop after AAA flop for God knows how many years in a row, each one resulting in hundreds of millions of net loss? Why does gaming refuse to crash like it should aaaaaaaaaa
>>739686495Because you are a subhuman with the memory of a goldfish. How does your rotten garbage brain not connect record job losses with bad game launches? How? Imagine what else you are retarded about - the answer is everything.
>>739686495We've been seeing plenty of consequences start happening since the interest rates went up a few years ago and the big finance gravy train started to slow. It's just that this has mostly come in the form of mass layoffs of low level employees. It will be some more years of this before you see a giant actually go under. My guess is Ubi is the first to go. If by some miracle GTA6 flops then Take-Two.
>>739672713>>739676546he made BILLIONS doing funny faces on tiktok
>>739686495It's a mix of many of the flops being rainbow funded (happens less now) so the flop doesn't hurt as much + indians doing the work of tons of fired lowbie workers so it's not quite as apparent as it should be yet>>739686660somone got fired
>>739663753I only watched the one with Le Chiffre and the so called genius got tricked by the most obvious poker move and that's when I realized the series was garbageAnyways, the 64 game was fun
>>739663828The only good ones are the ones with Roger Moore, because they are timeless camp.
>Palsy>Cerebral Palsy>mixed-up, not stirred
people would rather watch their streamer play than play single player "experiences"
James bond kind of sucks now that we know he wouldn't do shit about (and probably works for lets be real) his own epstein.
>>739663828It's a vibe. Bond movies are either cool for the right reason, or funny for the wrong reason.
>>739667749>THE DIRECTION-BRAIN>anyways vote for my direction
Besides what others have already mentioned about millennials and zoomers not giving a single fuck about 007 and actually considering him to be problematic, there's probably also the factor that glowies stopped being cool in the late 2010s. Nobody thinks it's cool to be the golem of moloch-worshipping lizardmen anymore.
Honestly, it just seems like Uncharted but for zoomers.Bond is kind of a bitch, the women are all abrasive and annoying, it's the exact opposite of a male power fantasy, the west flat out isn't capable of making those anymore because western zoomers are extremely insecure about that kind of thing because they all play games while thinking about what twitter would think of what they're playing.Ironically, chink shit like Anata is genuinely closer to what a Bond game should look like than this game is.
>>739676176Anon, the game cost $200 million.You're gonna be the first retard in the upcoming layoff threads bitching about how "corpos just have unrealistic standards."
i'm 35 and i don't like a single james bond movie. Boring repetitive trash
>>739668416As opposed to all of these new IPs that are just raking in the dough?
>>739690861It's too British for my tastes, needs Sean Connery, his Scottishness cancels out my repulsion towards those English bastards.
Can’t stand the zoomer twink bond and Reddit dialogue.
>>739682227Yes you have to pay if you break something. Apparently only autistic children and g*rms don't get it
>>739668504>movie collection*ftfy, FAGGOT
>>739663828I'm 31 and I've ever only seen quantum of solace. It was alright I guess. I loved the shit out of the ps2 goldeneye game though.
>>739689103Does anyone even know what the post-millennial fricassee likes anymore? I know it's all parasocial content drip but how the fuck do you make money off that?
>>739669713I'm a White nationalist from shitzil and I have zero interest in moviegame woke jewish shit
>>739691928>but how the fuck do you make money off that?You don't.It's why there is no "zoomer culture" since it's all just social media grifters since there's no money to be made in making actual media for zoomers.
>>739676176The game had a fuckhuge budget and has been in development since like the mid 2010s. It's going to need to pull huge numbers to make a profit.
>>739664523>14 years.Skyfall was that long ago?
reminder the only "source" to this is ZhugeEX on twitter
>>739692227Yes.2012, anon.
>>739665915The Architect doesn't makes women obese. He transforms them into squeezable plap goddesses.
>>739663753didnt they go woke and turn off their core fanbase? thats why OP you fucking faggot
>>739664129I agree, but this is probably due to market research on forums exactly like this one. There's trying to come up with a guy young enough for their target demographic to self-insert as.
>>739692791Men don't self-insert though. We want someone to aspire to, not someone who is "literally me"
>>739667381except his retarded "findings" are much better explained by the republican "two santa clauses" tactic wherein they are literally attempting to bankrupt the country so they can steal more.That whole post is fucking stupid.
>>739693000>Men don't self-insert though.lol
>>739693000explain autists trooning out over picking female character or their negative of never playing a female character because if they do they will immediately turn gay and troon out.However the Zoom, James Zoom is completely unaspirational, the whole world in the game is hollow, fake and gay, spent and made out of microplastics.>Jeeta M worships ChatGPT that hallucinates MI6 intel since 2014 but Sam Altman sends his son and hitmen to correct the record™ to make reality match the AI hallucinations
>>739693240Where did you find this picture of me?
>>739663753This is 100% to do with being a linear, single-player game sold at full-price with no (gaming) legacy to bank on. The comparisons to Uncharted are wishful thinking. Uncharted sold well because it was THE PS3 flagship and originated in an era where linear, single-player titles were much more the norm.
>>739693240Literally me except I'm bald, fat and have glasses
>>739663753I grew up thinking James Bond was shitty schlock because all I'd seen were the Pierce Brosnan one with Sean Bean. Recently I went back to watch a while bunch of James Bond films old and new. Lo and behold, each one of them was kinda shitty. I can only conclude that in my personal opinion James Bond is a terrible franchise and I have a hard time finding anyone who really disagrees with me.
>>739689103>Nobody thinks it's cool to be the golem of moloch-worshipping lizardmen anymore.Zooomers don't think anything is 'cool' they are all neurotic perma-self conscious losers
>>739663828go watch james bond jr insteadyou can find many of the episodes of youtube
I would much rather have a triple A Austin Powers game.
>>739663828I watched one where the opening sequence is in Mexico. All I remember of the main plot was how hard I cringed during the villain reveal.
>>739663753What happened you chud retards? I thought a straight white male and hot bond girls are what you wanted? What's your excuse now, dipshits?
>>739663753who cares about James Bond now along with Indiana Jones
>>739691154people care about those slightly more then some shit grandpa used to watch.
>>739695740its a damn basedboy james bond
>>739695740too many jeets, niggers and ecelebs.
>>739695740007 is the epitome of the post-WW2 mythos which is quickly dying and quite frankly has been obsolete since the fall of the iron curtain
>>739695740Please do not use my dead girlfriend for shitposting.>>739666020 pretty much shares my thoughts on the matter, I've seen a handful of cinematic trailers and like twice as many info-graphics and bits telling me what I'd pay to play the game, what I get in hitman for preordering, etc, etc, etc, fucking etc.Its far too fucking expensive for me to shell out without so much as a proper long-form game-play trailer; so I have to wait for serious reviews and consensus to form.As someone who really likes Bond and even found sparse (and I mean sparse) things to like in No Time to Die; I'm not shelling out 70 bucks on a guess.
>>739663753The Hitman games are right there
Pierce Brosnan is the only bond I enjoyed.
>>739696392He's the worst one.
>>739664626>(millennials) are vehemently against all of the traditional bond character traits because they think it's problematic or something.Brought to you by the mind of a terminally online zoomer.Most Millenial men loved Brosnan Bond.You generation war fags are so obnoxious.
>>739695740Gross, don't shitpost with my wife you faggy yurinigger.
>>739696521Golden Eye was fun. I love Sean Connery too but his bond movies remind me of star trek TOS.
>>739663828>all of these "they're shit anyway" comments
>>739696521He was perfect for the role, his movies after Goldeneye were just not good.
>>739695956>>739696045>>739696243>moving the goalpost until the very endyou are no better than the people you criticize. no, you are worse
The gameplay I've seen looks like Hitman on rails but with cutscenes, just like all those generic Sony third person shooter movie games.Unless you want exactly that but with a pinch of Bond larp, there's no reason to play this.
>>739664553Game? Why game! Give me high quality 5 second orgasm so I can move on to next thing!
>>739666784>>739666826i agree eva greene was a shit bond girl.it had some good set pieces, Mads Mikkelson was kinda cool, but thats it.the scene where Craig refuses to fuck the busty latina says all it needs to. Connery or Brosnan would not have even thought about it.>>739666831zoomers are still male humans. the fact that they go on tiktok to look at things like that just enforces there is demand.All men like the pulp anti-hero fantasy of Bond. Just like anime with anti-hero type protagonist are more popular than ever. There is no market for a neutered version of him however.
>>739663753I don't want another generic Bond slop game thanks.I was interested in it if IOI made Hitman WoA with Bond skin that's pure 100% gameplay, but they decided to make a movie game so I no longer care.
>>739697392I am god, no one is worst then god
>>739697392Die mad your game flopped lmao Bottom text
>>739663753this is the first time i heard of this game releasing. im a terminally 24/7 online neckbeard and if i didnt hear about your game you did something worng with marketing.
>>739666784>It's not Bond>Literally an adaptation of the original Bond story
>>739698721It's an adaptation of tomorrow never dies but shittier because it's the end of history.
>>739698779Casino Royale is the original Bond story and the movie, while it of course takes liberties because it came out 50 years later, hits all the major plot beats of the novel
Took at peek at shrouds stream now I have this stuck in my inventory until June 23rd any way to get rid of this?
>>739663753I dont have a 5090, why would I buy a game that will run like shit for me?
>>739664462Source on that image?
>>739698851Fuck sorry, I'm retarded and didn't follow what you were replying to, the game is a shitty rehash of TND>>739698910Just DO NOT REDEEEM if you don't want it.do not connect whatever account it requires to with the connect button.
>>739663753His face is too punchable.The face of a Saturday morning kids TV show, not James Bond.
>>739682817Hitler actually wanted Poland as an ally. His goals were to restore German borders and defeat Bolshevism. All Poland would have had to give up was Danzig and the Danzig Corridor, which were inhabited by Germans. In exchange for an alliance with the most powerful nation on earth, Poland would have literally only have to give up that tiny sliver of land with 300K people. Yet they rejected all diplomatic solutions. It's no wonder they are still considered stupid idiots to this day.All said, most people get their history "education" from Hollywood Jews and it fucking shows.
It's interesting to see video games modelling the failures of the film industry instead of simply learning from them. Soft reboot of an old intellectual made with "modern audiences" in mind, with a collective budget too large to recoup from it's meager turnout. Perhaps the large investment bodies don't even care about making money, they just want to create a reality where nobody even remembers what non-homogenized goyslop looks like.
>>739663753saw the opening mission on youtube ~ 2h of barely bearable quiping, plot holes everywhere (like the nerve gas) and standard sneak n shootaside from the visuals nothing worth buying
>>739663753full of mutts lacking charisma for le representation and the protag is possibly the least interesting depiction of bond (i think you can do a young bond but not like this)also idk who the fuck lenny kravitz is but some random american negro celebrity isn't all that appealing
>>739664553Agree with the general sentiment, but with the caveat that I never pay more than 20 dollars for a videogame and I also still maintain the idea of "value", it's just that instead of hour per dollar I count it in entertainment per dollar, as a game can have more entertainment in 1 hour than another game has in 5.
>>739701016I watched a guy play for a couple hours on twitch. It never gets better.
Mid level developers need to get the message fast that games are too expensive.Just because Nintendo and Rockstar can sometimes get away with pricey games, doesn't mean you can.You're making a James Bond game. This is something staunchly in the category of "Maybe I'll check that out for a reasonable price". It is not "OH MY GOD, I NEED THIS NOW!" tier. There have been a lot of mid James Bond games, and Bond as an overall franchise has fallen slightly out of relevancy, even if people have some good will toward it. Read the room, niggas.
>>739701485The worst part is, they actually HAD something people were willing to spend their money on. "James Bond made by the Hitman devs" was one hell of a selling point. Somehow they just delivered an Uncharted clone though.
>>739664553I'll pay 120 bucks for a brilliant 6 hour gameGood experiences in life are worth suffering forI don't give two fucks that a 60 dollar game gives me 300 hours of gameplay if it can't even give me 1 fucking hour of pure enjoymentNot saying that about this bond game though I doubt it's worth more than 30 bucks
>>7397014856-8 year dev cycles. It'd be like trying to stop a runaway train.
>>739663753I stopped giving a shit after Brosnan was out
>>739663753He doesn't look like fucking James Bond for starter.
>>739663828Casino Royale is the only good one.
>>739701485>Mid level developers need to get the message fastNo. They need to get the message to shut the fuck on on social media and keep your heads down.The economy is in the shitter world wide, so most consumers are already starting from the baseline of 'I dont want to buy this game' rather than the default of 'I want this game' of a few years ago. The entire persuasion calculus is now changed for games sold at premium.
>>739663753goldeneye (the game) was a one hit wonder, and a lot of people who bought the game didnt give a shit for the movie franchise
>>739663828they're fun as fuck.
>>739665736if you give me a 3d scan if his face, or any Bind actors face for that matter, I'll do it
>>739663753I didn't even know about Khaby Lame before this game. Then again, I don't use Tiktok.
>>739663753I'm sure they'll be fine, If IO dies I'm going to be surprised.
Just make another fast paced shooter like goldeneye or nightfire for fucks sake.
>>739704041Goldeneye wasn't that fast paced. It was more about learning the environments.
The bump limit has been reached!
>>739702432On the contrary, it completely revived the series, and created a ton of new fans.
>>739703983>If IO dies I'm going to be surprisedThey were supposedly bankrupt after Hitman 3 and it was only because they got paid to make First Light that they were able to stay afloat. If it flops, they're finished.
>>739701485I think a lot of Euro devs live in an alternate reality where their obvious AA game is actually a AAAA game, and thus is totally worth dumping $250 million into and charging $80 for.
>>739676703Because in Resident Evil the government agents are all fighting against an obvious big bad corporation that just wants to dominate the planet and turn half the population into violent zombies.
>>739705390>Resident Evil is more fantastical than Bond.I love how a lot of his gizmos and gadgets were ludicrous over the top "only in the movies" kind of shit, but because of how old they were that technology not only exists now, but is so much more practical than their "high tech" gizmos.Like any old movie with a GPS tracker or something, and they always just hold up a big plastic brick with a few light bright red pegs plugged into a crudely drawn map.
>>739663753Millenial here. I think I watched the first movie (the 60s one) but I can't remember a single thing about it. However I do like the idea of a British spy with gadgets and stuff. They just said the game is nothing like that. I plan to play and watch the old Goldeneye however.
>>739706043Goldeneye s a great entry point to the series. It does a great job as a stand alone movie, and it fit right in perfectly with all the other amazing 90's action movies of the time.
>>739663828They'rebad movies only watched by boomers cuz they're was nothing else on
>>739663828There's like 3 good ones so don't worry about it.
>>739676225Games really used to have such unique soundtracks, now all it's just generic orchestral samples
