    Is there any truth to the rumour that Bond's likeness in this new video game will be based on @dewiparry? ;)

    I could style my hair like that. But this fella looks fit, healthy and focused.

    So he's a good match for you then? :)

    Hopefully a solid voice cast is announced but
    most importantly the gameplay model.

    Would open world work? GTA style?

    Always loved the casino mission in TWINE ps1. Won ten billion in one sitting. Wonder what Valentin did to the dealer, the poor bastard.

    I don't think it should be fully open world GTA style because I'm not sure how that would work with Bond, but open-ish levels with story tasks, like the Indy game sort of thing, would work I think. Hopefully not endless shoot-outs; how Bond is that really?

    One of the developer's execs specifically said in an interview it's a linear game. (Or at least more linear than Hitman, which could be considered "open-level" I suppose).

    To obtain a 00 status, you have to undertake two officially sanctioned MI6 missions and kills to pass - right?

    Doesnt mean Bond can't kill a person prior to that?

    So the game could feature Bond on operations in the Navy prior to being singled out for the double-o programme, and he could be shooting people etc during that?

    Just thinking out loud.

    As for the game structure I would expect it to be linear with some super focused levels, other in a more open sandbox environment.

    Probably a young field agent, as he's carrying a gun. Should have some licence to tactically use a firearm. I imagine missions, maybe even abroad, just not the big boys. Be cool to see a backstory!

    Given the game is about earning the 00 status, I suspect the first part of the game (at least) will be stealth and non lethal takedown focused.

    I'm glad he's holding a gun, I have to be honest.

    Was there a chance he wouldn't? In terms of violence I'm sure he'll be killing people but to be honest I hope it's not hundreds like it was in previous games, it's a bit weird really and kind of takes me out of the story the game is trying to tell.

    It depends on how involved EON was in the pre-production of the game. Barbara was against Bond shooting anyone with a gun. This derailed a sequel to Goldeneye 2 and was the reason in the game Cypher by Apple Arcade Bond shot knock out darts and enemies went to sleep in the game.

    I wondered if they would copy the Great Circle game where Indy uses a variety of items and attacks to knock out enemies instead of just shooting them up!

    I slated the jacket this morning. Thinking about it now, it's a Navy/cold-weather operations type jacket, hence the tall ribbed collar. I'm well up for some amphibious missions if he SBS.

    There's a guy called Elvis I know who should be able to get you a suitable wig in the meantime.

    It's two sanctioned hits. Not just random kills. Otherwise they'd have to hire monks.

    I do think that's much more fun, although perhaps does suit Indy more than Bond to some extent.

    Hitman Absolution style levels could work for parts of a Bond game. But it would need to have plenty of fighting and shooting as well.

    Losing points for killing obviously wouldn't work.

    No driving unless open world, and bad guys have to reload, too...

    If that is Bond in the ad, then something is off. He looks more like Felix Leiter, minus the hook.

    I don't think anything would work, since as you explained, it will be sh*te.

    What's off? The jacket maybe? Otherwise it's a man in shadow with a trim but styled haircut, a PPK, and a NATO strap on his wrist. It's a teaser.

    Looking at the promo picture again, the jacket Bond is wearing reminds me of these two jackets

    161010-daniel-craig-quantum-solace-tom-ford-jacket.jpg

    It'll probably look nothing like those when we see the full thing 😅 nevertheless it's exciting to have something Bond related to look forward to

    OK, now show me something that looks like James Bond.

    Slightly off-topic, but an interesting article about what Everything or Nothing could have been.

    As for First Light, here are my thoughts.

    If this is an origin story, could we see Bond meeting other iconic characters for the first time? Felix Leiter seems likely. Maybe a hint of SPECTRE, or another iconic villain's organization.

    I don't think that this will be a complete Call of Duty clone. Even Bloodstone tried to have it's own style. Maybe hints of Hitman, with arguably some of both Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and even Uncharted.

    All I can say is I'm happy that this is finally coming. I just hope that it's not released too near to GTA 6's release date. That would really hurt it's chances at successes in more ways than one.

    That is, in fact, literally James Bond. Sorry if you don't like the character now but they have to move on for the movies from suits every scene. And Quantum has a lot of suits. What else would you qualify as proper casual attire for your precious hero? The man can't avoid a chill?
