Cube Posted November 19, 2020 Posted November 19, 2020 Oddly I was thinking about James Bond games yesterday, how modern shooters aren't really like GoldenEye, and they a more modern Bond game should be similar, but with multiple approaches to take for each objective - shooting, sneaking, disguises, bagging your way in - a little bit like Hitman. It seems someone read my mind and made it happen. 1 2
Aneres11 Posted November 19, 2020 Posted November 19, 2020 Strangely, I too was thinking about Bond games recently. After playing the latest CoD and feeling like it played like a modern day Bond game, it definitely made me ponder on why it's been so long since there has actually been a decent one. Looking forward to seeing more about this.
Happenstance Posted November 19, 2020 Posted November 19, 2020 Weirdly I was just thinking about Bond games....
LazyBoy Posted November 19, 2020 Posted November 19, 2020 Has there ever been a non-FPS Bond game? I obviously love Goldeneye but I would hate to think that's the only kind of Bond game we get from now on.

bob Posted November 19, 2020 Posted November 19, 2020 I'd love a Bond game where you just sit and fill out paperwork at a desk.Also, I Expect You To Die is a Bond themed escape room game for VR headsets, and is very good.
LazyBoy Posted November 19, 2020 Posted November 19, 2020 @bob I like this. I'd like a Bond game with a character creator screen, where if you make Bond anything other that white male you spend the next 30 hours getting abused by Daily Mail readers 1 2
Dcubed Posted November 20, 2020 Posted November 20, 2020 Water, meet fish. Couldn't think of a more natural fit between developer and licensed IP. Massive potential for greatness here! 1

Massive potential for greatness here! The more I think about it the more excited I am. I'm a big Hitman fan, and I'm not saying that they will necessarily just do a hitman game and swap out Agent 47 for Bond... but you could. I know I'd play it. It might even improve - one criticism I have of the hitman series a criticism I have is that it has a strange tone, formerly po-faced serious, they now seem to have a weird silly sense of humor that intercuts terribly with the dark nature of your work. Its uneven and out of place for me. But the tone of Bond - well its so well defined that I imagine there's a brand guideline somewhere. Crank up the cool, top up the production values, get a funky soundtrack. Fast cars, sexy ladies, evil bad guys. No reason you couldn't do Bond's in other eras as well.
