Was not expecting that reference at all….

Combined with the Aston from The Persuaders it’s obvious which Bond the development team enjoys the most!

New suit unlocked for those who have the Hitman games - Midnight Ray, a blue tuxedo. Looks really good. Hoping the Amazon exclusive black tuxedo is made available at some point.

Yeah, it’s cool spotting all the references. Gibson seems closest to being a more physical version of Roger.

What I realized is that’s the second direct reference to A View to a Kill in a Bond game. Willem Defoe’s Nicolai Diavlo in Everything or Nothing was a student of Max Zorin’s. Interesting how that film keeps getting a tip of the hat. And I’ll always be grateful for this corker of a dialogue exchange delivered with verve by Brosnan:
M: Diavlo’s tutor? Max Zorin.
Bond: Yes, we once played bridge together…he lost.
For those curious the first ten minutes or so of the game are on YouTube. I skipped around it a bit and really love what I saw. Crazy how we’ve had nothing for so long. As they say, patience is a virtue.

It’s all a reference to the LTK-GE hiatus 😝
Seriously… all this is not for me, the last “video games” I mastered were _Pac-Man_ and _Space Invaders_ (and maybe _Whack-a-Penguin_), but I’m happy that gaming people seem to like it and that it seems to make a certain impact. And also that _“the media”_ seem to accept it and see it as real part of the franchise and not as an extra option to cash in (which hasn’t always been the case).

Might be some minor spoilers. But great acknowledgement of Bond history!

You forgot the Moorhuhn. And the one with the sheep. Easier times where you didn’t even need a controller to play…(Grandpa Simpson voice off)

I decided against watching. I’ve waited this long. Surreal to think I’m picking up the game and controller in two days. I’m eager to see what happens in the story but I’m going to try and take my time savouring the experience.

Im with you. Was tempted, but my partner pre-ordered for me the second it could be so i will wait till wednesday to enjoy it.

As you should! I don’t have a console so I’ll be enjoying Hurricane Room while reading everyone’s thoughts on the game. Excited for all of you getting to play it! I’ll probably hold out as long as I can on major spoilers just in case I get the chance down the line, but I’m glad it’s here and that it’s looking to fulfill its potential. Fingers crossed!

Will be interesting to see how this game fares with the general public. A game that’s nearly $80 with only 20 hours of gameplay and no multiplayer is a an incredibly steep ask of people, and that’s not even taking into account the dire economic climate.

I ordered the Amazon exclusive physical copy so I won’t get my copy until Wednesday. My 007 PS5 controller should also arrive on Wednesday.

It seems it’ll be playable at 3.

I’m not a gamer at all - too old, too lazy, too scared to get addicted - but by all means, share your experiences here and give your detailed opinion on this, please!

My last experience of gaming was probably Sensible Soccer on my old Commodore Amiga back in the 1990s, however I have purchased a copy of First Light to play on my son’s PlayStation.
I genuinely have no idea what I am letting myself in for here.

Seems like you meet strong criteria to become a proper gamer. 😄
My case is I’m generation PC and my hands never got to master coordination to aim with a controller stick. I’ll try the pc version when I can, cause I need the gold old mouse 🖱

Enjoy @Orion. You’ve waited a long time for this.

Whenever I read a book I make notes along the way. I’m going to do the same with First Light. I suspect any fears about this not ‘feeling’ like Bond due to his young age or whatever will be swept away. A new Bond adventure begins for me tomorrow.
