007 First Light - IO Interactive

Io have said they’re going to use their Hitman model of adding stuff long after launch, and indeed did yesterday, so I imagine they’ll keep doing that until at least they announce a part 2.

Enjoyed the new TacSim missions they added yesterday. I loved that it was just a surprise drop. I assumed we’d have to wait till Autumn for new DLC content. I happen to have the week off so I spent my whole afternoon playing through all the challenges for the new missions. The challenge “Ahead of the Curve” for the “Extraction Avenue” mission took me many, many attempts to figure out a pathway that worked.

I’ve played through the story mode twice and I had completed all the TacSim missions and challenges so I had moved on to other games. Yesterday’s new missions got my back in Bond mode so I’m going to go back through the story and start going all the challenges there.

I do hope we see some First Light merch beyond the t-shirts at the 007 Store and the collector’s versions of the video game. I want action figures, Funkos, diecast cars, etc. I’d love it if LEGO gave us another Speed Champion set. The yellow Aston Martin DBS would be great.

I love the game but I want something tactile too.

Like Bond once said to Elliot Carver: “Give the people what they want!”

What do people think is the liklihood they’ll put it up for sale?

You think of a physical copy? Probably depends whether their analytics indicates there’s a big enough profit to be made. But for now they are glad to be able to run this business unaffected by wars and cease fires.

I’m hoping La-La-Land Records might eventually put the soundtrack out on CD. If they can release Never Say Never Again they can do First Light.

For some reason I’ve just been listening to the First Light soundtrack - not the entire thing, just scanning the tracks for potential material for a jogging playlist. Did people already mention the Bigger is Better remake of OHMSS?

It’s used in a not very subtle chase. A later equally “subtle” chase uses Dua Lipa’s theme in a similar way.

Over 4 million copies sold in 3 months. That’s a good result so far and makes the case for more content in the future.

What´s this bloke “secretagentfan” talking about?

The song is very entertaining! Maybe it took me a few times to get into it. But now I do love it!

Really, the nerve of some people immediately hating things on the internet…

Oh, and the game´s score is pretty good, too. (Am I maybe too starved of Bond content that I now welcome it with open arms?)

I so wish this game was available on Xbox One as I am not prepared to update my console when the next generation is rumoured to be late 2027. Oh well, I can hopefully buy the Game of the Year addition with lots of extras at a cheap price when I finally upgrade.

I’ve collected and unlocked everything I can in the game on my 3rd play though but unfortunately the trophy glitches are preventing me from having 100% and achieving platinum.

It’s odd to think that because of the gap between 007 Legends and First Light there was never a James Bond game for the ps4. An entire generation skipped out.

IOI released a new patch for First Light and my final four trophies popped up. Officially 100%!
