    Reskins and returning content plastered as a ton of "new" additions. That's why the Hitman titles haven't held much for me post-release. The H2 Mark 2 reskins were laughable.

    Definitely feel like they announced this game a bit too soon. Likely because of the delays to NTTD

    That's how most development cycles work for games and it pisses me off every time. The game has no connection to NTTD or Craig's era so I don't see why they would've announced it to coincide with that. Hell, that first teaser for Elder Scrolls 6 came out almost four years ago now and it's still nowhere close to release. Why bother?

    Elder Scrolls VI is a Bethesda game. So 4+ years in development, and it will release as a buggy mess.

    And that's just four years since the trailer. They no doubt had preliminary development ongoing for several years before that and it sounds like it'll take several years POST-release of Starfield before they even properly unveil it.

    And as you say, it'll be buggy as hell upon release. It sounds like it'll be an Xbox exclusive, so I won't even be able to cave and play it when the time comes since I'm exclusively PlayStation anymore.

    That's Xbox's loss, Playstation's gain. ;)

    It's a little disappointing about the delay, but so long as they don't cancel the game, I can wait.

    Agreed. I'm patient enough. I'd rather them take all the time they need than rush out a half-baked game.

    Absolutely.

    It's 3 years ago this month that Rebellion officially announced that Sniper Elite 5 was going to happen, but they couldn't give any further news. Though it's worth noting that they released a few other games in that time (Sniper Elite V2 Remastered, Zombie Army 4: Dead War, Sniper Elite VR, Evil Geniuses 2 and a Switch port of Sniper Elite 3). Non AAA developers do need that extra time.

    I'm looking forward to those reviews. Surprised how much it looks like a WWII Hitman title, of sorts, and I've always loved the brutal destruction caused by the bullets in X-ray vision.

    With unlockable starting points, it looks like they are taking a little inspiration from the Hitman trilogy. I am trying my best not to watch too much of it on Youtube, I have just caught little glimpses here and there. I already have my copy of the Deluxe Edition pre-ordered. It's not going to sell out, but still...

    Same here! In terms of James Bond games, I’m also hoping for Goldeneye 007 remastered!

    Yes, that's been my assumption for a while now. It's hard to tell how this behind-the-scenes work goes sometimes. Hell, I just read that Elder Scrolls VI is in "pre-production" still, despite releasing its first trailer a good 4-5 years ago. Insane.

    It was exciting to hear the Bond license getting revived in such a promising way, as opposed to it only being used on crappy mobile games for years on end, but this title was definitely revealed/announced way, way too early. I prefer games to be close to completion, with about a year or year and a half left in development or less, before we hear anything about it. That way hype is restrained, the team is able to work in a more pressure free environment (where fans aren't actively and passionately expecting a game RIGHT NOW from them), and the game has a far fairer chance of being more objectively assessed than otherwise once it releases because there was less time for expectations to be solidly erected and defended by the community.

    It appears that this game is in its very nascent stages, with no sign of us getting anything resembling an early look at it, and that's not great for us or the game. So now the long waiting game begins, and the hype machine against which IO will be fighting up until release will be in full gear until it's in our hands.

    I'm as anxious to play it as anyone, but I would also suggest that the (apparently) lengthy development cycle could possibly suggest a higher level of quality and scope to the game than we may have seen in the past.

    (The idea, now, that a substantial cross-platform 007 game was release every single year from 2001-2005 seems staggering. What times those were...)

    Except 2003. EON was supposed to be released Nov 2003, but got delayed to Feb 2004. Still, 2 Bond games in the same year is unthinkable now. That might go some way to explain why GE:RA turned out the way that it did.

    The Brosnan era was really a golden era. Movies almost every two years, a novel every year, compilation albums and cover albums, and games galore. Bond was kept in the public consciousness and not lost amidst the hype of numerous ongoing franchises and streaming shows.

    EON, what a time. I remember going shopping with my mom any chance I had so I could play the demo for hours in GameStop before it finally released.

    I'm still glad I got to experience QoS when it was brand new and popular. It's not some objectively perfect game or anything but it came out at a great point in my life, when I had a lot of free time and interest in FPS titles, and it was such a blast to me through and through - playing with friends, going for achievements, being amazed at all the locations from the films I was so familiar with. What perfection at the time.

    As to who will be Bond my guess would be that they'd be making their own unique Bond and not one from the movie: so like the Spider Man and other Marvel games are kind of close to but separate to the movies, with their own versions of the main characters.

    I'm going to keep this one out of mind for a while and be pleasantly surprised when a first look trailer finally drops. I'm eager to see what IO delivers here, what a perfect pairing this will be.

    I’d like a character creator - build your own Bond. I am sure the results would be equally excellent and hideous 😂

    Wow, that's right -- great recall! I think EON was my first video game delay I had to get used to. (Which, sadly, has become a bit of a norm for major publishers now).

    Hot take alert:

    If I'm the studio, I consider giving gamers the chance to customize the look however they like for their own Bond. Give them full character creation abilities, like modern RPGs. Then they can avoid any conflict/alignment challenges with whoever is cinematic Bond by the time the next film releases, and say they did something revolutionary by opening up the image of Bond to something more diverse and unexpected.

    (My marketing voice steps in: "Won't work. You need a set image of Bond to market the game. And his voice, mannerisms, aesthetic, inform too much of the rest of the game's design and tone that you can't just leave it to a range of user-generated chance. That's not how Bond works. Go play Fallout 4 again.")

    I got the platinum in QoS. Grinding 100,000 credits in the online multiplayer was a chore.

    If memory serves correctly there was a demo of EoN which came with the Official Ps2 Magazine about six months before the game launched. It had the initial dam/abseil level and the bridge motorbike chase. Played them both for hours. And there were some differences between the demo and final release, mainly UI related.

    I remember the 100 Golden Gun kills (I think was the amount) was a bit more nervewracking than the 100,000 credits. That one came naturally to me. I had a buddy help me focus on getting the Golden Gun in matches so I could get the achievement, it was so much fun.

    And yes, there was! It had both levels; the bridge motorcycle chase with Jaws especially was a favorite of mine. I'd play it over and over and over again.
