Could be awesome. Will have to wait and see. As long as they stick to what made James Bond cool then I'm interested. Gadgets, cars, womanising... :)
 
Not a fan of 007 but relieved a game is being developed that is not another extraction shooter or Battle royale.

I also hope it is not open world and has the same level of detail and NPC design as Hitman.

Was looking good until the portal section and the release schedule at the end...

Maybe the years of dealing with gaming industry bs has made me cynical but the more I think about it, the less I am interested.
Looks like they are making a minimum viable product, with a user created content feature as a means to placate people and future content by developers to be released over time as paid DLC.

And by placate, I mean they know there are going to be defenders who go:
"You don't need to buy any DLC, there is tons of free user created content for you to play."
Willing to bet money that will be used as a defense for this.

I mean look at this... wtf is this.

Even Hitman they want you to keep on paying, I just don't.
 
Hitman was absolutely amazing back in the day.
What do you mean back in the day? It is still absolutely amazing and looks and play stunning..

Microsoft Should just buy Warner Bros then they will own both parts and can issue lic to anyone that wanna expand/remake.
 
Cars, gadgets and women. Game looks good and great fun. Bond does not. He looks weird and annoying, hate how he's always smiling.

And I don't like the idea of a super young Bond or origin story tbh.

But will check it out as a huge Bond fan. Last and only Bond game I've played was Nightfire almost 20 years ago.
