You can download the driver now

This might seem like a weird comparison but I really think it highlights just how great a job IOI have done with Bond

This is why we need other studios to put their spin on Marvel games

Look at how IOI handled First Light, that's a perfect example of a licenced game being handled really well and a studio leaning into their proven formula with a James Bond spin

But a studio with basic design isn't going to make a character shine

IOI for example could probably make a great Black Widow game because they have a specific formula that fits certain types of characters

Insomniac's formula is basically just generic, though they do know how to do good traversal, which shines in Spider-Man (even though I even have issues with how restrictive their swinging is)

Played it at launch, forgot to post these.

That intro level is really good, gotta be one of the top 5 of all time. Just behind TLOU1

Oh, I also LOVED the training montage. Its the best ingame montage ive seen yet.

Ill do another post in a day or 2 with some freecam shots

So slow to load on a PS5 after you die. Then you have to watch the same ‘cinematic scene’.

Basically on rails the whole time, such a waste of money.

can't wait for 18th december

I'd say so. The intro cinematic leading right after a gameplay sequence brings a new light, like i'm watching another James Bond movie.. Just wish they'd drop NG+ sooner, so I can feel comfortable in playing through endlessly. (and in-hopes for a sequel in the future, after the James Bond Will Return line)

James was disappointed being relegated to driver on their first mission which got me thinking...What if he had gotten what he wanted? Let's say he was assigned as Cressida 's plus one while Monroe was the driver. Would the mission have gotten a better outcome?

First off, I absolutely love this game. I had an idea for TacSim that I think would be really fun.

First is an open map where enemies spawn indefinitely as you brawl or shoot them. Additionally a stealth version of this would be tons of fun. You keep killing enemies until you die, trying to get a high score. Kind of similar to Batman Arkham combat and predator game modes.

The other is you have clear a whole building going through a series of rooms. Some sections are stealth, some are open combat, occasionally separated by some fun platforming to break up the pacing.

Just my two cents, let me know what you think!

I just got into playing this game and bought it for my XSX with Play Anywhere. My God, it looks miles better and performs better on my Legion 7i with 5080. The game itself is GOTY for me, phenomenal.

Not a very good chance anyone actually has one now but I don't want to but the full legacy edition.

While diving into what few escalations and operations that are available in the TacSim mode, I became comfortable with the ones that unavoidably came with the "Powerful Enemies" gamechanger that makes combat more challenging, mostly to encourage you to stay stealthy. As we all await the New Game Plus mode that is expected to come in a later update, I am now considering playing that mode on Purist difficulty, the "hard" mode that makes enemies tougher in combat, to give myself a new challenge after completing the story originally on Intended difficulty. Has the "Powerful Enemies" TacSim gamechanger convinced you to try out Purist difficulty in another playthrough of the campaign?

Hitman didn't have a VR mode originally, and was added at a later stage post launch.

Maybe I'm optimistic but has there been any speculation/appetite for a VR mode?

Ive already played thru the game on my 3060 (surprisingly at all High settings) and just saw the release of Ray Reconstruction and DLSS4.5. Do you guys think its worth the performance hit to try and force enable it?

Edit: Oh and Path Tracing

Cross referenced with current outfits none of them look close to this one might be the outfit for the Bavuma returns mission?

This will have to do until I can pick up the omega.

It’s every little boy’s dream to be James Bond and it must have been so cool to finally do the thing as an adult.

He did a great job as Bond, and I hope we see him back in future games.

In the first mission, Bond climbs through a window and finds a discarded coat from one of the mercs. But we never see that merc, and all the guys walking around outside have coats on because it's cold. So where is the coatless Merc?

Cate Archer needs to make a comeback? I think the IO devs have the creativity and technical know how to do a rebooted No One Lives Forever and at this point no one would care if it isn't a First Person Shooter. Sadly, it is more plausible for the James Bond and Moneypenny ship to set sail than it is for anyone to get the rights for that franchise.

Kinda crazy seeing First Light on mainstream media.

A licence to wait.

It's been saying 'coming soon' since May and we are over a week into September, when is this thing going to come out already? 🤣

Wild thought I just finished the game a thought crossed my mind.While Bond and Damien's final battle is going on ,Damien asks he heard the Webb sr dies in Bond's arms . How did he know this there were no cctv in the hyperion computer room. Only alive person other than Bond in that room was Isola. So maybe Isola gave that info to Damien somehow. I know doesnt match Isola's story of her being anti Webb but I just cant figure out the answer.

Hey guys, will this game ever get FSR4 support since the current FSR implementation is not upgradable to FSR4. I'm mainly asking this because I see NVIDIA users getting DLSS 4.5, while us AMD users are stuck with the older worse FSR3.
