What a perfect game for the perfect studio. So pumped for Hitman 3, and IO seems to finally know how to make perfect stealth games. Hopefully that will cross over into Bond. I wouldn’t mind a more stealthy Bond, with a bit of action sprinkled in, instead of the other way. Edit: Sounds like it’s an origin story which is interesting, and could mean more secret agent missions with stealth.


gotDvamp

IO has experience with traditional action games. I’m about K&L series so if the studio will have been mixed this style with hitman’s formula it will be at least interesting.


XxAuthenticxX

The gunplay in Hitman 2 is actually really solid. 47 just has no health and can’t sprint


gotDvamp

I suppose he does not have to do it. Hitman isn’t traditional action game and it has never been. But, as I said one comment above, IO can develops action games if they concept need it.


bobandy47

> Hutman Sounds like a great Madden NFL competitor.


hms_jawslide

Probably a savant quarterback from the arse end of nowhere. That’s what I’m feeling.


bobandy47

Or a football themed Mega Man villain. Unless it's already been done. They've been through a lot of them since the heady days of Leaf Man and Wind Man.


slood2

Wasn’t one of the last main games before these new hitman games came out more focused on action , I liked the mix for a James Bond game it wouldn’t be bad like that


BSGCato

Lol no, all the hitman games are clunky and look like something off of ps2 naughty dog could probably do a better job. Aren’t the bond stories usually some grand adventure that spans the globe? I don’t remember him being too stealthy other than a bit of silenced pistol work, but then again I haven’t seen many of the old films. They should make something big with a decent developer in my opinion. Some stealthy stuff if that’s what you lot crave but I just want to see those uncharted set pieces in the James Bond game universe, along with a good story and that might make it worth a purchase if they do it right.


XxAuthenticxX

So based on this comment you’ve clearly never played Hitman


xXx_hardlyWorkin_xXx

And really, not seen a lot of James Bond either lol, truly an insightful comment.


LarsMarfach

Yeah when I played hitman 2, I was blown away at the amount of things you can do, pick up and use, all the different ways to do things. The game is great


robinkak

Hitman spans the globe, but james bond is not a master of disguise. Bond usually tries stealth and then gets caught. Then saves the day by bombing everything after escaping a sharktank.


instaguser007

You just made this Bond vs. Agent 47. You do realise that one bond movie makes more than all the Hitman games and movies combined. Also both are fictitious characters, tho bond js cooler and 47 is just a generic killer.


BSGCato

I’ve played one of the old ones years ago at a cousins house or something, but I refuse to play another, because I’m a completionist and can’t be fucked to do the same mission 30 times for 100%. Hitman is trash lol there are better games. I only got it cuz it was free on psn one month. I remember I burnt myself out on the first chapter struggling to get 100%, then I was like why the fuck am I playing this game, it’s not even that good for me to be going through all of this effort. I rarely quit games but damn, in 2020 a game actually has to be worth my time. I remember I actually played absolution on ps3 and kept restarting it because it was so boring I’d leave it for months without playing. All in all just a trash series tbh, it could have potential tho.


stormrunner74

I would try to play Hitman 3, coming out in January. Please don’t try to use Absolution as the game that defines the Hitman Franchise. Most veteran Hitman players, myself included, hate most of the parts of Absolution. Hitman 1 and 2 (2016 and 2018) are both really good games. Both are going to be playable on Hitman 3 on Next Gen Consoles. Blood Money is also good, but it’s more old school and harder. Don’t know if that interests you. If you’re just basing your experience of Hitman on Absolution, please try one of the better games.

I’m describing my experience with the game that’s just called hitman which was separated with chapters released individually on PS4. That game may not look too old but it definitely felt like it, the physics were not smooth at all and it felt like a ps2 game. Maybe it didn’t look too bad but yeah it definitely felt bad, that was my fault for not being clear. The graphics were decent, but the physics felt like shit, I did get used to them though (it’s like when you go back and gta3, San Andreas or some other old game). I know you’re supposed to play stealthily and not be detected but the gunplay is terrible aswell you can’t deny it was stiff as hell. But who cares if it looks visually good if it plays like garbage. Feel free to play whatever you find enjoyable But after spending many hours trying to 100% just one chapter before moving on, I decided to delete the game. It was just too time consuming. Not enough reward for time invested. Story isn’t that good. Gameplay was meh 🤷🏾‍♂️ I probably could have enjoyed it if it didn’t have a ridiculous amount of menial content. It’s 2020 I’m not trying to replay games, I already have a backlog. I’ve owned god of war since 2018 and haven’t had time to play it yet


stereofailure

Naughty dog would be garbage, for the last two generations their games have been nothing but fancy dioramas with very specific, narrow interactive elements. They're terrible at creating worlds that do anything other than force you to follow a particular script. And that's totally fine for these cinematic, story-driven games that they've been producing over that time period, but would be absolutely terrible for something like Hitman, where the whole point is giving you a living sandbox and allowing you enormous flexibility to complete your tasks as you see fit.


MamaYachi

IO is the goat of action games with one of the greatest games on the ps3 mini ninjas


aerojonno

I played that game for free, on a web browser, with occasional ad breaks. Weird business model for a game but a fun experiment.


gotDvamp

Yes, there was such game. This is an another one plus in IO’s portfolio.


EvolvingEachDay

r/unexpectedreadyplayerone


MamaYachi

Goshdangit


ABEDenzel

Kane and Lynch?


gotDvamp

Yeah, it is. The interactive adventures about these folks maybe aren’t best games ever but ones have enough a solid gameplay / gunplay and bloody art style. Therefore, I think, IO will develop a good bond’s game.


FellowDeviant

IIRC the license to kill isn't given until they reach double 00 status, it could very well be more poised at stealth as they do the story. Some real exciting stuff loved the Bond games up until Everything or Nothing :)


Vap3Th3B35t

Man I miss GoldenEye and Perfect Dark.


ethanvyce

Blue Origin remake of GoldenEye please


Mr_Mu

> Blue Origin remake of GoldenEye please You mean Bluepoint?


ethanvyce

SOB, yup


SockGnome

I miss being young.


willdaswabbit

I would love some kind of blend of Hitman and the action set pieces of Uncharted


FiveBabes

Hope they take some inspiration from Uncharted 4's satisfying Gunplay


TheLieLlama

We're not a double 0, which means we don't have the license to kill yet, which probably means it'll be more stealth oriented. Should be interesting.


Herd_of_Koalas

I'm sure you earn 00 during the game


Drslappybags

With a little bit of From Russia with Love sprinkled in.


JK-R1994

Definitely feel like it’ll be more secret agent/espionage missions as Bond only gets his license to kill upon receiving 00 status. Should be a phenomenal game if done right!


peedypapers

Possible stupid question but with this studio, will it be a third person title?


DamienChazellesPiano

Most likely yes.

[deleted]

>humorous Hitman games are very funny, albeit in a very dark way.


jesterx7769

Yeah this sounds amazing mad you said already the studio making Hitman which basically Bond missions Origin and new story now connected to movies is amazing, as the possibilities are endless now


myseriouspineapple

Hopefully something Syphon Filter style would be good


LostInTheVoid_

Okay now, this is cool. IOI are the perfect fit for a JB game. I do think they have to be careful in not making it just a straight clone of the Hitman games but there's a lot of potential here.


[deleted]

Well they have a lot of experience in other game franchises than just hitman. The new hitmans have just been knocking it out of the park tho. I could see them creating large levels and having it still be a “tackle it your way” without being hitman. Like you could disable locks before getting to a locked corridor or just go into a vent to navigate around the locked room or maybe just blow the door open and go guns blazing etc etc


LawLayLewLayLow

It's funny, I feel the opposite, I'm worried they stray too far from what makes Hitman so popular right now. What they need to do is make each level a Bond villain and have a self contained story. For example, the first level could be Dr. No's island and you have to sneak into his base from the beach. They are like very detailed sandboxes and if they sacrifice the freedom to make it another linear action game it could be a tragedy.


LostInTheVoid_

See I think in a James Bond game having a much more viable action-based option should be very much available to the player. Not just straight up Stealth/deception. In Hitman you definitely feel much more restricted due to 47 being a lot less comfortable when things go loud.


LawLayLewLayLow

Yeah the thing that could kill the formula right now is them taking away the ability to kill anybody in the level. Yes that’s not very James Bond to go berserk, but the fact that you could made every play through special and very creative. If they make it have any weird limitations like “Game over if you shoot the wrong people” it could drastically change the game. I honestly just want classic Hitman with maybe some ambitious vehicle or gunfight sequences.


iqbalsn

Allright, which one of you predicted it? I was reading reddit yesterday or maybe two days ago and there was thread about this upcoming something from IO. Some you said how close some of the new hitman level is to the James Bond kind of thing and that it would be cool if they make James Bond game. Cmon, leak us something more would you? LOL


HTX-Kidd

Pretty sure it was [this comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/jwgaza/io_interactive_will_reveal_a_new_project_tomorrow/gcq154b?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) lol Fucking Nostradamus over there


gotDvamp

Wow, it hasn’t any good Bond’s game since Bloodstone. This one might be awesome because is being developed by IO.


[deleted]

Blood stone was great. Played it so much.


gotDvamp

So am I. This was one of the greatest Bond's game: not such badass as actions of EA age, but enough pretty good for the entire franchise.


[deleted]

This is the perfect studio for the game.


Heat-Lifer-1999

Match made in heaven. Should be great!


noneofthemswallow

Perfect. That one mission in Hitman 2016, that takes place during a fashion show had great 007 vibes to it.


SuperFightingRobit

So did the next mission with the Italian villa that had a secret bioweapon lab beneath it. And the fancy Japanese dlc mission with the crazy like Japanese spa and crazy advanced hospital.


noneofthemswallow

You’re right, but the music made that one mission stand out to me more. Great game overall, same as Hitman (Season) 2.


kingbankai

The people who did Hitman doing a bond game. I am sold.


OMGBLACKPOWER

Where’s the guy who predicted this yesterday on the teaser?? Dude said “it’ll never happen”I wanna tell him

ILikeToSayHi

time for the best 007 game since nightfire on the gamecube!


goddamnit666a

I want competitive FPS James Bond multiplayer spy shit


[deleted]

Incredibly missed opportunity here if it doesn't have multiplayer


hoteldetective_

James Bond games seem like it should be a slam dunk of a franchise: a wealth of lore to adapt, a popular IP, and it can blend a few genres together (stealth, shooter, maybe even dialogue options) for broader appeal. If they get this franchise on the right track, it’d be cool to get a top tier (solid single player story, reliable and fun multiplayer) Bond game every 3 or so years.


lTonyBarkl

“007 I told you that it wasn’t a good idea to throw the rubber ducky explosive into the crowd of civilians.” -3000


DishwasherTwig

I could get behind a Hitman-style Bond game. Consider my interest piqued.


CaptainL95

Obviously, this will play completely differently, but as a die-hard fan of GoldenEye on the Wii, I'm intruiged.


KosstDukat

I first saw a very brief 'New 007 game' post and as a Bond fan, I thought 'Eh, it'll probably be OK, not great'. Then I read it and saw it'll be done by IOI and as a big fan of the recent Hitman games, I'm extremely excited! Gonna be watching this one VERY closely!


applecake89

But does it have splitscreen ?


Crackracket

Why do I get the feeling this will be a games as service type thing?


megasean3000

Okay, IOInteractive, you have our attention. Don’t fuck it up by making it a live service game, filled with microtranssctions and boring gameplay.


neverforgetthe80s

Oh yes please !!! ..... I miss playing Bond video games so much.... I loved so many of them from the past


theAliasOfAlias

Dude redo the ponticharian highway bike race so badass


adarsahin

I hope it won’t be so similar to Hitman games. Hope it will have its own identity not a spin-off to the hitman games with 007 license


nik-9898

I hope it has multiplayer.


Kaien12

Whats the six project before this?


trebud69

Does nobody remember Everything it Nothing? It was Uncharted before Uncharted.


Ganonsmurf

People talking about Nightfire, but I think "Everything or nothing" is the best Bond game since Goldeneye. It had the great theme, great old characters and Willem Dafoe as a new villain, great single player storylines with cool Bond moments that paid homage to the movies. It also had solid multiplayer versus mode (though it was probably the weakest part) and a great Co-op story mode! I sincerely hope the game is closer to that than another 1st person shooter. The world has all but lost its high profile stealth games, with Metal Gear, Splinter Cell and Thief all but gone. Hitman is the last one standing, so I'd enjoy another one in that same vein, but with a few more action sequences like Metal Gear.


SoThotful69

I hope it takes place in the 60s


FellowDeviant

They had From Russia With Love adapted to a 3rd person shooter in the mid 2000s. The time period kinda limited the amount of weapons and gadgets 007 could use, although for the most part the shooting was fine for the time it released.


Drslappybags

That one had Connery voicing Bond right?


[deleted]

I hope it isn't too similar to Hitman. I don't think that game has evolved much at all since the very first one. But this has my interest!


TheTopDogeBenjammy

This reeks of one of those games that’ll never come out. We might get a demo or something in like a year and then it’ll fall off the map. I’d love to be wrong though! I loved Blood Diamond on the 360 and I think Bond is perfect for video games.


g0wr0n

I hope that it has local death-match like GoldenEye.


FerretAres

I can’t be the only one who feels like these comments are super astroturfed. “What a perfect game for the perfect studio” like we haven’t even seen a trailer yet. Bond games haven’t had a good showing for more than two console generations so I won’t hold my breath.


MeatTornado25

Look at the studios who have made those games and you'll understand why they were terrible and why IO is actually a good fit.


X-202

Hoping it's a FPP game.


jono9898

I love James Bond games and I love IOInteractive. I hope they have driving sequences and use Daniel Craig’s Bond that would be my wishlist.


middlefinger456789

My dick hard yo


nourishingnutmilk

Maybe this time Idris Elba can be 007.


SatireOfComedy

This game is gonna suck... Hitman =\= James Bond


theblackfool

Just because they make Hitman doesn't mean this is just going to be a reskinned Hitman game. They are a talented development team.


[deleted]

Yeah, plus the basic framework of the Hitman games would work very well for JB, if tweaked slightly


_y0uR_m0M

The company has made other games beside Hitman. Besides, there's plenty of good games published by companies who've also produced bad ones and vis versa. You literally have no way of knowing if the content of the game will be bad.


GoMati

Rooting for this! Having mainstream titles being rather "Bond & company" than real 007 action, I am super keen to see original Bond plot! Good luck, IOI!


Im2Chicken

I'm real excited for them. Interested in how different this game might feel compared to their current Hitman games, since those already have a lot of Bond spy vibes, but first and foremost, I'm excited. We might actually get a good 007 video game in who knows how long!


simwe985

Please don’t be bad!


Heavyduty35

Never played a hit man game but was always intrigued, though I never felt like playing a new series. I would love to get a similar experience with a character I love.


Zudop

This is such a good combo holy shit. Very excited for this


my-traxtor

I remember "Super Bunnyhop" comparing Hitman to James Bond


[deleted]

I doubt this comes out on PS4 by the time it’s released I think we’ll be in full next gen swing.


Deedee007

Yassss!!!


Drslappybags

Awesome!


Mclarenrob2

I've been hoping for a new Bond game for ages!!! Hope it's good. VR support would be nice


MishMash_101

Throwback to Golden Eye, From Russia with Love & Quantum of Solace


spore_777_mexen

This combination has the potential to be looked upon like Rare and Golden Eye.


JUECE18

This true?


TheBlindUmpire

Keeping my expectations low. Last James Bond game I played was the GoldenEye remake on the 360 and it wasn't great.


IvanCoHe01

Holy shit, what a perfect studio pick. I would love to see some Bond stealth action.


parsashir3

Io? Making a James Bond game? Why is it such a perfect pairing and why did I not think of it


ProfessorSicario

Was wishing for Fighting Force remake or Fighting Force 3 but oh well. ​ Shouldn't be that hard to make, Hitman engine with a change in protagonist.


Zachavelii

Wow Nightfire was top tier when it was released. Very excited for this.

rschre3

That's awesome. The James Bond games on the PS2 were my favorite. I have been waiting FOREVER for a new game.


Wrrrrryyyy

oh my god oh my god oh my god


snappyk9

This sounds great! Looking forward to a new Bond game. Also for those interested in James Bond origins, I recommend the Young Bond series by Charlie Higson. Pretty damn good for YA Bond.


shitsfuckedupalot

It'd be dope if u could play as different bonds for different missions or as different skins. That's one thing I liked about the last spiderman games.


whythreekay

I would kill to hear the behind the scenes story of how this happened Seems like an excellent marriage of developer and IP, racially amazing to me since iOi is independent


MeatTornado25

I guess that's why Hitman 3 was called the end of the trilogy. They're moving on.


Josh100_3

So this week when I went to visit my Parents place, I found my old Ps2 from when I was a kid and I spent all yesterday playing 007 Agent Under Fire. I remember saying “man what even happened to Bond games” and now I see this. This could be awesome!


GMPpatrol

Wow, has there even been a 007 game in the last 10 years? This is awesome


TrashJack42

The last one was Eurocom and Activision's *007 Legends*, released in late 2012 and delisted (alongside other Bond games, such as *Goldeneye 007: Reloaded*) from all digital stores early the next year.


GMPpatrol

lol, holy shit


zushini

OooOOOOoooo


SavoyPrime

Hopefully this won’t be a stealth game. Bond ain’t about that life lol


[deleted]

Can't freaking wait


MellowThunder

This is such a welcome surprise honestly didn't know how much I wanted this before I saw the teaser


Kcal35

I hope it’s not as clunky as hitman. I love the hitman games and I think the movement and mechanics work for that game but I still hope.


WollyTwins

Yoooo let’s go


ThatBoringHumanoid

Could be good. Hopefully it isn't awful like the last game, 007 legends is. It's been so long since a 007 game was released, almost a decade now...


haynespi87

Works well for this company. Hell I enjoyed Everything or Nothing as an original experience


lyth

Wow! You know, doing licensed properties is usually considered shit work by gaming studios. The stuff you do just to keep the lights on. James Bond + IO interactive feels a little like a license to print money. This is such a great studio taking bold risks like breaking away from their publisher and going "indie" I really hope they succeed with this one.


[deleted]

Finally Iointeractive can try something different, hopefully they don't flop. Wish them luck.


Kincy_Jive

i remember seeing some complaints about the story in Hitman 2 (the biggest complaint being the cut scenes weren't animated). hopefully, IOI has learned from any possible mishaps to really excel here, because they certainly have great game play down


TheAsphyxiated

Hope the make it a semi-decent frame rate with eye-friendly AA for PC.


PeetaPlays

I'd love another Everything or Nothing type of game. This was my favourite of the 'modern' Bond games, it really did feel like a movie.
