Project 007 (IO Interactive James Bond Game)

[Derek Metaltron]

Don’t think I have ever been as hyped for something I know nothing about as this. I mean it’s the perfect premise - Hitman’s open ended missions and world travel, but with James Bond?! So excited for this!

Says it's an "origin story". We've sort of seen that with the Craig films though, so I'm kind of curious if this will be it's own thing. If it does follow the "Craigverse" perhaps it'll deal with Bond's military career, something that's been touched on in the films but never really elaborated on while his troubled childhood and gaining of his 'style', 00 status and supporting cast are pretty much all the Craig films have been about.

I'm kind of wondering how they're going to design and characterize Bond with this. Evoke a specific era and style it after Craig or do their own thing?

[Derek Metaltron]

I am presuming it'll be its own thing, though likewise I do wonder if it's going to be modern or a period setting. I feel like the 50's/60's era of the books is more appealing personally but I could enjoy a Craig style modern game as well.

It better have "slappers only" mode.

[Hilden B. Lade]

Hard to believe that we went through an entire console generation without a new Bond game!

I'd wager the best approach to characterizing Bond is to do something like Obsidian's spy rpg Alpha Protocol - let the player determine which Bond their Bond is most like.
