007 First Light - IO Interactive

Appropriate, as Nintendo Switch is palm-sized, is it not?

Switch 2 seems to a bit bigger, but yes.

I have a soft spot for Nintendo, and I’ve been playing a lot more Switch of late. But if I’m playing a new Bond game it’s going to be on a PlayStation. I’m glad Project 007 is going to be across all platforms, though. Let’s reach the widest audience possible. There could be young Nintendo gamers out there who don’t even know they’re going to be Bond fans yet.

I believe it’s since been announced that this will not be at summer games fest, but rather IO Interactive are holding their own showcase.

Thanks for that. What do we think of the title? From the existing game catalogue it most resembles NightFire. It does have the origin story vibe going on. At least we don’t have to call it Project 007 anymore.

Slightly off-topic, but an interesting article about what Everything or Nothing could have been.

As for First Light, here are my thoughts.

If this is an origin story, could we see Bond meeting other iconic characters for the first time? Felix Leiter seems likely. Maybe a hint of SPECTRE, or another iconic villain’s organization.

I don’t think that this will be a complete Call of Duty clone. Even Bloodstone tried to have it’s own style. Maybe hints of Hitman, with arguably some of both Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and even Uncharted.

All I can say is I’m happy that this is finally coming. I just hope that it’s not released too near to GTA 6’s release date. That would really hurt it’s chances at successes in more ways than one.

I really can’t wait to see footage from the game and the character model they’re using. I’m sure there will be levity but I’d like to see a tone similar to the sniper sequence from the beginning of TLD. The jacket really does promote the idea this is a Bond out to prove himself.

I keep hearing Jonathan Bailey.

I am SO on board…yes, I know, preaching to the choir

I just arrived at work so I can’t say all I want, but I’m really, really happy with what I see. Vehicles, gadgets, humour…the Bond cocktail is all there and I couldn’t be any more excited.

Incredible. I love how wonderfully cocky Bond looks.

Also are we going to SEE Bond’s parents in this?

Looks fantastic I think some on here would be quite upset if this was the storyline for the next movie but I’m all in on the look of the game.
