007 "First Light" News Thread

With that director credit, now we know where the game’s overall gold-coloured visual motif came from:

0/10 title sequence. No naked women doing gymnastics on guns like in the greatest Bond opening!

Is it really necessary to reveal everything? Leave some surprises for release.

That pretty much describes every single Maurice Binder title sequence.

Great song, cool visuals. Pretty much what I want from a Bond intro.

Did not expect to see female silhuets, like in older Bond movies. Wasn’t sure if they would go that route. Can’t even remember if the last two bond film had any.

Might be reading too much into this, but (at least as much as you can gather from a silhouette) the female character had a hairstyle similar to what we’ve seen of Noemie Nakai’s character, which makes sense as the she seems to be positioned as a Bond Girl and/or Ally in the early promo materials.

But interestingly, throughout this sequence there were repeatedly two Nakai-like silhouettes in play, so perhaps she’ll be a double agent? Or have an evil twin?

[insert own similarly baseless speculation here]

Something I’m a bit intrigued to see is how IO will manage to pull off content that is sexual in nature. If there will actually be any or they will just skip it all together. Sex is often (If not always) very stilted and awkward in videogames.

There is of course ways around it, by implying it, showing bond leaving the bed with a female companion or just maybe we will end up with a quick time event.

I’m being silly, I couldn’t help myself.

I’m fully expecting another marketing tie in. Whenever Bond is about to get laid you’ll see him reach into his wallet for a (insert brand name here) condom and then the screen will fade to black. Then the screen will come back and James will already be back in his clothing and slipping his omega back on his wrist or grabbing a cokezero. That’s a double branding tie in opportunity right there.

And so is child abandonment?

A quick time event dealing with sex in a James Bond game? I imagine player input would be something like this…

Press X to thrust: X, X, X- Press Y to slap ass: Y, X Y, XX, YXXYX, XXYXXXYXXXXYXX- Press X to answer phone.

The only sex that will happen with this game is IO fucking the players with fomo and complicated ways to buy the game.

Nothing can beat that for me.

Not even Pulp’s submitted song for the same film.

Also one of my favourites for Bond films too!

It also got stale real fast

Tbf, the alpha build does look pretty close to their opening titles cinematic:

I am positive we will see a couple of directly reused assets. Maybe a mini ninja catering van or something fun like that (=

Also really hoping for 47 to be in a level someplace either as an NPC (who has nothing to do with the level or story or anything other than a wink to the fans) or maybe on a billboard shilling clothing like in Kane+Lynch

Given IO is at the helm, I wouldn’t be surprised to just see a billboard next to a road somewhere advertising WoA in 007FL
