I was hyped for this but imho this is looking way too whacky for me. Bold looks way too young and not refined at all, and the music is the most generic thing I’ve ever heard. Considering most Bond movies have amazing soundtracks, they should’ve put more effort into it.
Edit: I couldn’t remember what it reminded me of. Now I do: this Bond has more of an Archer vibe than James Bond. Maybe Craig spoiled us all.
Here is what i don’t get: what’s the point of even doing a bond game? Why would you restrict yourself to a franchise that the target audience don’t even care about? They can’t make a spy game that is fun to play? They can’t come up with a name for the protagonist?
Splinter Cell back in the day, and Hitman in the current day are both very famous games. Also I can recommend Cyberpunk 2077 DLC. That’s peak 007 style spy game.
You can’t convince gamers not to pre-order. I’d bet the guy in this very video will pre-order it. I have not ever witnessed a hobby community that gets so uppity about pricing yet continues to pay. Maybe Warhammer fans can compete but I feel like they are well into the acceptance phase of buying into predatory business practice.
Honestly i was looking at Dune awakening today, but just before i pressed purchase I remembdered the last game i pre-ordered and how dissapointed i was once it came out and none of the features promised were present.
Not saying the Dune devs would do that but its just not worth it anymore
Pre orders and games as a service are scams from corporations that don’t give a shit about games besides how much money they can make releasing unfinished garbage.
I really want this to do well. I've lost a lot of faith in Konami in recent years, but the SH2 remake gives me a bit of hope, and I'd like to see them ride that momentum and breathe some new life into Silent Hill.
I'm glad Suda51 is still making new IPs, but I'm kinda over his gameplay? It needs to evolve somehow… like, melee here looks a lot like Killer Is Dead, which was serviceable, but not great.
Of course, everything else is captivating, as it always is, but I'll need more from the gameplay to get invested in this.
Granted the game hasn’t aged well, but for the time, it was the best game ever.
So much so that now, whenI see a new 007 game announced, I get a momentary feeling of “OH SHIT!” until I remember it’s not going to be as fun as being 14, staying up all night in the summer, eating lays potato chips, drinking coke, dragging your balls across the losers face and laughing at him as everybody else holds him down, watching WWF Raw live, and then WCW Nitro on VHS recorded hours before, playing the improv one word game that all stoners play instinctively, recording vhs game boy camera movies. The summer of 1997 and 1998 was magical.
For a brief moment, I get nostolgia anytime I see a new 007 game. Then I instantly remember it’ll never live up to those days of my youth, now in my 40s.
