IO Interactive of the Hitman series. Perfect. I was thinking they would be great for making an open map James Bond game.

Mavrick · 11-19-2020, 01:28 PM

Better be good.

Sounds exciting, IO are a good choice for something like this. I’ll wait to find out more before getting excited, especially with stuff like the Avengers game getting completely warped beyond belief.

tcripe · 11-19-2020, 06:03 PM

Perfect choice of developer. Can’t wait to see how this turns out!

IOI...what a damn minute...can't wait.

I'm a huge Bond fan, got all of the original Fleming novels and a complete collection of the Bond movies on BD, and i notice that this game is directly tied to the Bond film franchise rather than taking the position of being based on the actual literary property, which is a separate entity. Interesting...

I don't see how that's interesting. Has there been any Bond video game (aside from the likes of James Bond Jr on NES) that HASN'T been based on the movies in some fashion? The movies are what everyone thinks of when they think James Bond. They're the cultural zeitgeist of the property, even if they aren't the origin.

TheWildWhelk · 11-21-2020, 11:36 AM

Why should we assume that Eon Productions own the complete literary rights to Bond, both Fleming and beyond? I'm not saying someone can make a film out of Sebastian Faulks work, or Raymond Benson, rather that a video game or other media project based purely on the books doesn't need to be tied in at all to the film franchise.

Are they still creating new 007 books/novels? That's cool. I never spot them in the book stores, new or used books. I'll have to take a closer look next time I go to a book store.

Other writers tasked with continuing the Fleming legacy were John Gardner and Raymond Benson, and to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Fleming's birth in 2008, renown author Sebastian Faulks wrote the novel 'Devil May Care' which became a bestseller. Other authors since have written further books.

I have put literally hundreds of hours into Hitman. If this Bond game is anywhere near as fun I'm very excited.

1st person would have immediately killed any interest in this for me.

The visuals seemed pretty dated to me though.

The proportions of the characters and movements seem slightly cartoon based, which is odd for 007 unless it's a kids game maybe.

I would've expected realistic graphics. It looks good for a cartoon game though.

James Bond, maybe this was a younger agent just getting starting in the business as a 00 agent. He looks like he's in his early 20s. James Bond is usually in his 30s to 40s.

Otherwise, it looks interesting and the Hitman team can make fun stealth action games with the Hitman series. So there is hope for a fun 007 game here.
