    It continues to look quality. I hope it plays as good as it looks.

    Ooh Gemma Chan.

    And new Bond theme too.



    And it is still Q Branch.
    Gemma Chan and QBranch - that's a good look.

    Gemma Chan joining the MI6 team? This gets better and better.

    Felix Leiter has been black for nearly 20 years and Fleming didn’t begin spinning in his grave.

    He also was black 44 years ago. He's been black twice.

    I suppose most have picked up on this by now, but the 'Q' logo is the same as that on the Swatch x 007 Q watch from NTTD:

    Love the test dummy in the corner of that clip with Dr. Tan.

    Bond and Q are the only British characters in this game, that's a disgrace.

    I think we should call out someone being racist when they're being racist. We're not really interested in that sort of thing here, let's just talk about the game.

    (Ironically, Bond is the only main character I can see announced so far who isn't being played by a British actor, along with Ms Roth)

    Oh no! People born and raised in Britain but have different skin color are in a Bond game, what a travesty!

    Agreed.

    Yep, same here. I can't see any logical reason to get offended at the casting here, and the game looks pretty good.

    I must admit I did not pick up on that at all! Well spotted. Did that logo appear anywhere else or just with the Swatch bits? Quite curious it's come back really.

    Wouldn't it be wise to wait for the game to be released, play it (or not), and then comment on it (or not), especially if the best you can do right now is post remarks like this?

    I'm confused. Where is it decreed that only white people can be British?

    It stems from that idea of ethnicity and nationality being synonymous. That no matter how many generations a family of color have lived in a country, that they can never be truly British. Where your ancestors originated from takes more precedence than being born and raised. Some countries like Japan made that a law. You can’t be considered Japanese citizen unless you have a Japanese parent. Every country is different.
