IOI's James Bond game is like the sixth fucking origin story they've given Bond since Casino Royale's 2006 film adaptation
Fucking why? What is there to explore at this point?
Anyway the most important question is will he eat scrambled eggs and black coffee on-screen?
Huh? It's a pre credit sequence in casino royal.
Bond has origin story?
There's really only been one major one, and it's all stemmed from Casino and Skyfall, with some extra bits in Spectre but it's all been in the Craig era of Bond.
I still think there's a lot to explore in that space without chaining it to the hyper-aggressive Craig Bond era.
game will be a stealth/action/adventure 3rd person game following bond, a young navy recruit who defies authority and acts solely by gut feeling.
his skills catch the newly-appointed M's attention, who has a controversial plan to restart the 00 program, and has bond join.
lots of women and dark skinned characters. M is female, moneypenny is a l33t h4x0r black agent.
an AI company is the bad guy.
game takes place in modern times.
gameplay trailer will be shown at State of Play.
I hope they don't waste the IP doing a rehash on Hitman.
Casino Royale's film adaptation as the start of his career for Daniel Craig's incarnation
Dynamite's James Bond Origin which is set in WW2 to be congruous to Fleming's novels
Dynamite's 21st century-set James Bond comics which have a Bond as a veteran of the more recent wars
Anthony Horowitz's Forever and a Day
Young Bond, also set in the runup to WW2
IOI's would basically be the sixth time they're writing an origin story.
It's like watching Batman's parents be murdered every three years.
Served in military
Kill guy real good
Join MI6(?)
I choose to believe this because your picture turns up nothing on reverse image search.
i strongly prefer when James Bond was a codename and not a man
saying this when Dragon Ball Z video games keep going back to the well
why do modern games look like ps4 games?
It was never a codename.
I've never heard of any of those. Nobody has.
I've only heard of casino royale
I like how something that looks like legit leak never gets any traction here but obviously retarded fake spammers with fan fiction get replies lmao. Thats how you know this shit is legit and its been this way here for at least 15 years.
Are the books worth reading
I kneel, leaker bro. Also: sounds woke.
Casino Royale is his origin story. He falls in love with a woman who turns out to be a foreign spy, gets tortured by baddies, and learns to be a bit more of a cold hard bastard.
Yes as long as you go into them with the understanding that film Bond is like 60% just Terence Young making a super cool OC grafted onto the book character, and spending half the film budget on suits, and novel Bond is very much his own character.
How are Bond comics, as a general thing? they look kinda neat.
Bond comes across as a weird psycho, and they're kinda racist. So yeah, they're pretty fun.
Unpopular opinion but I really like all Bond games apart from PC version of Nightfire this one blows. Recently replayed From Russia with Love and No One Lives Forever and was suprised how solid those games are.
That latest one where has has to stop foxdie was so bad I think I'm just going to give up on the franchise entirely.
Craig is the worst Bond
Every movie is an origin story, you secondary
Nah, Lazenby is. He wasn't even an actor and it showed
They're great fun. Bond feels more like an actual person.
I refuse to believe this purely because I don’t think the game is near close enough to being done to have these details.
They vary because every storyline has a new writer but they're generally easy reads, grittier than most of the films besides early Connery, Dalton and Craig but frequently has more out-there sci-fi elements of the pre-Craig years.
No volcano bases or space lasers but more on the level of wacky wonder weaponry that could shift the balance of power in the world.
James Bond simply doesn't belong in a world without the Soviet Union. If it's not a period piece it's going to suck.
It has 2026 release date anon. It was posted on IOI official site but they took it down fast.
Absolutely. Just know going in that the last couple books are a bit goofy. Project Gutenberg has them all online for free.
gutenberg.ca
story is set long before production. only one mission is being polished for the reveal at the moment.
patrick gibson plays young bond
In Casino Royale, they briefly go over some of his history:
’Well, in the last few years I've killed two villains. The first was in New York--a Japanese cipher expert cracking our codes on the thirty-sixth floor of the RCA building in the Rockefeller centre, where the Japs had their consulate. I took a room on the fortieth floor of the next-door skyscraper and I could look across the street into his room and see him working. Then I got a colleague from our organization in New York and a couple of Remington thirty-thirty's with telescopic sights and silencers. We smuggled them up to my room and sat for days waiting for our chance. He shot at the man a second before me. His job was only to blast a hole through the windows so that I could shoot the Jap through it. They have tough windows at the Rockefeller centre to keep the noise out. It worked very well. As I expected, his bullet got deflected by the glass and went God knows where. But I shot immediately after him, through the hole he had made. I got the Jap in the mouth as he turned to gape at the broken window.'
Bond smoked for a minute.
'It was a pretty sound job. Nice and clean too. Three hundred yards away. No personal contact. The next time in Stockholm wasn't so pretty. I had to kill a Norwegian who was doubling against us for the Germans. He'd managed to get two of our men captured--probably bumped off for all I know. For various reasons it had to be an absolutely silent job. I chose the bedroom of his flat and a knife. And, well, he just didn't die very quickly.
'For those two jobs I was awarded a Double O number in the Service. Felt pretty clever and got a reputation for being good and tough. A double O number in our Service means you've had to kill a chap in cold blood in the course of some job.
At least he has one good movie, Craig can't say the same
Wait James Bond isn't just a codename for multiple guys across the years it's his actual fucking name are you shitting me?
Like it's actually a capeshit situation?
frivolous contrarianism
Why do you retards obsesseed with the codename theory never think about what the fuck would the point be of a guy having two codenames associated with each other?
what did you think the 007 was
daniel craig will never be bond. his movies were decent action films but they were shit bond movies.
I thought there were many Bonds, and I don't mean just the actors, but that "James Bond" was a witness protection style fake identity assigned to whoever is the 7th agent, that they use during their missions to protect their pre-MI6 identity which is never named in the story.
Like obviously it wouldn't necessarily have started as such, but I'd expect it to be retconned after the actor changed a couple times
I have never seen a single bond film, old or new
M is female
Isn't she always?
Wait James Bond isn't just a codename
That's what 007 is
Where the fuck did the "Bond is a codename" theory even come from
The real M is female. There is no other M than Judi Dench
getting filtered this hard by quantum of solace
It basically boils down to does he have a rich family or not, Craig movies say No in Casino, Yes in Skyfall, an No again in No Time, the other Bonds don't really bring it up.
The Flemming books go into detail about who Bond is and his pre spy service record.
I liked Casino Royale. The others, not so much.
It started in the 00's when Craig became bond and they "rebooted" the series even tho all the supporting characters were the same
based and true
watching the movies in reverse order and going from Judi Dench to some bland guy is weird
NTA but it's stupid to release a new bond game now with the next movie in development hell, just wait till the Bond 25 is ready and slap the new Bond's face in the game, Project Bond will end up like the PS4 Avengers settling for mo capping VAs instead of the actual Bond.
If Amazon/MGM was smart they'd make doing mo-cap for the games a part of being Bond's contract and film the movie and mo cap the games as part of the same shooting schedule, and release the games between the movies in the same universe.
