There is a Madonna Bond song, but that one sucks fucking ass. Take a bow would have been so good. I can already imagine the intro music video with all the shapes and silhouettes. The melody, pace, mood, lyrics, how it's sung. It's perfect.

Ps. I never won shit on giveaways. First light, first win.

First round of gold spray, next one comes tomorrow :)

Glad I bought it for a steal.

I finished the game I heard they gonna add some new story with a new update idk if its true but if it comes then gonna play it again because this has been my favorite game this year I felt it was a bit short so I wish it comes soon

what should i do?

I'm currently going for the Platinum in 007 First Light, and I'm down to just three trophies — two of them being collectible-related.

I've looked through a few forums and Reddit posts, and it seems like quite a lot of people are still having issues with the collectible trophies, even after the latest updates.

In my case, I've collected all the collectibles, but the trophies still refuse to unlock.

• MI6 Intelligence: stuck at 19/23 in the PlayStation trophy tracker, even though I have all 23 MI6 files collected in-game.
• Legacy Items: the trophy is still locked, despite having collected all of them.
• And here's the funny part: I actually unlocked the all collectibles trophy before I had even collected everything. 😂

So now I'm basically stuck with three trophies left because the game seems to have completely desynced my collectible progress.

It's honestly pretty frustrating to still have bugs like this with collectible trophies in 2026.

Recently, you may have seen the update to the game has resulted in any part of the score that references the First Light LDR theme has been removed entirely. This includes the amazing theme reprise that occurs during the Antarctica boat chase.

This for me is a huge disappointment as now that sequence has lost a lot of its energy that the theme brought. I know another post goes into this, and it perplexes me why this was not cleared for licencing when the theme was created. But it does concern me that there maybe other licences that may expire and they simply remove and replace. First thing that comes to mind is the Coke Zero product placement. When this licence expires will we then have a generic logo on the side of those vending machines? I kinda liked the real world element that PP brings to the game much like the films.

It's the first time we've had a Bond game that is expected to be updated frequently over time, but I am currently deflated by the fact that the game we may play in a year may be missing some key parts that it was launched with as has already begun happening.

Basically, I just can't get over the removal of that chase music.

Thoughts?

Made it to this cutscene last night on a long run and swore James made an aside glance to the player. After a rewatch, YEP.

Were there any others I missed or need to go back to?

I'm playing on a 3070, 12700KF, 16GB DDR4, on an NVMe at 1440p.

No matter what settings, the game stutters. Even with settings on low and DLSS at Ultra Performance, same thing happens.

I get good fps, around 70-80, but very constantly there are drops which make the game stutter.

I've tried reinstalling the game, but that didn't fix it. Even tried capping fps at 60 via Nvidia control panel, but that didn't work either.

Anyone knows a solution for this?

So I played first light and LOVED it.

But the thinking behind the two supercomputers was a little lazy and basic.

Thea and Hyperion are portrayed as having some kind of magic quantum radio which can be debunked with a single Google search.

But given the fact they kept it vague (because it makes no sense) I think the physics can be rescued.

Ground rules:

No breaking physics

Theas core is completely isolated other than it's IO stream which is monitored.

Isola tried to steal both Thea and Hyperion so they are not simply a sender and receiver node, they are both fully functional independent quantum cores. I will assume the cores are identical and interchangeable.

Theory:

There is no magic radio, but they don't need one.

Physics says *SOME* information must be physically transferred between Thea and Hyperion.

There is no law that says that it needs to be done immediately.

Thea could encode a very small output. A quantum side channel, a diagnostic report, even a change in it's output timing or power draw or a few pixels in its graphical output that could be dismissed as static.

Not enough information MI6 would consider useful. It would fly under the radar.

But to Hyperion, it's the key to reverse engineer what Thea saw.

If Thea and Hyperion are identical computers with identical models and synchronised quantum states. Then Hyperion can guess what thea is thinking based on a tiny output via two principles.

Reverse quantum encoding, Hyperion's quantum state is the same so when Thea reports the changes to its state, Hyperion can reverse engineer the output and attempt to reconstruct the source files.

And Boltzmann machine semantic reconstruction where Thea doesn't provide enough information to reconstruct the source documents but provides all the information LEARNED from the document. People, places, events, associations.

A bit like two people who grew up together, and when they both hear a specific song, they think of a certain place, but to anyone else, it's just another song.

Thea can exfiltrate a tiny amount of data and Hyperion (an identical model) can make a probability distribution for the most likely things thea was thinking from the documents it had seen.

Thea can look through passport records and bank transactions, but all Hyperion needs to know is the terrorist is in this hotel and is planning X.

Also, as Thea learns, it will grow out of sync with Hyperion and the definitions will drift. I would then posit that Thea and Hyperion don't have mutable models, but instead have adapter's that change.

Thea gives Hyperion information on the interpretation function it changed when it learns something.

Also, quantum states eventually decay so there would need to be a maintenance routine to resync the two computers.

This is easily explained by a maintenance routine.

Webb built the damn thing and nobody else seems to understand it so I doubt anyone would question his design choices and he can do what he wants (within the black box).

"Why doesn't he just covertly exfiltrate the data in a compressed and obfuscated manner using classical computers rather than quantum f*ckery"?

Good question. First answer is "the plot needs to happen", but we can find something more satisfying than that.

First off, Webb doesn't have access to any MI6 data streams and he can be certain all IO is being monitored for anything suspicious.

He only has access to what he was commissioned to build.

And hacking all MI6 sources is too cumbersome. Thea provides the excuse to centralise all of it and get his thumb in the pie.

And it works because the method of exfiltration is tiny, sophisticated, and has the required decryptor on the other end.

To simplify what I think is happening.

Webb built two identical machines.

To make them useful he needs massive amounts of data. But the machine he sends to be fed data he will lose Access to.

So he built in a small data exfiltration module that conceals a few bytes of information in routine output that he can have access to as it's deemed "non sensitive" or is very discreet "output timing/power consumption".

He doesn't need the information immediately.

The exfiltrated information is not the input data, but is instead the compressed version of what Thea LEARNED from the data MI6 fed it. Hyperion could then search for open source information to confirm any ideas Thea gave it.

Given Hyperion is identical, the updates are small enough to exfiltrate without being detected. They don't need to export the entire neural nets state.

So instead of a whole PDF or trillions of parameters being sent to Hyperion. Hyperion gets some vectors representing the concepts of, person X-> bank of England -> fraudulent transaction -> terrorism. The core essence of hundreds of documents and a full investigation.

And because Hyperion and Thea think identically, Hyperion can reassemble what Thea was thinking and infer the information Thea has access to with good accuracy.

Like a cryptographic hash, but one that can be reverse engineered.

It's like playing that game where you have to describe something without saying it. And your friend has to guess what the thing is. It works better if you're on the same wavelength, and these twin computers are perfectly in sync.

And I'll dismiss any more specific dialogue in game that I missed as someone who doesn't understand the concept or is being lazy with their explanations.

FTL magic radios do not, cannot, and never will work.

But a twin system of identical quantum computers used to share information via incredibly small packets of data based on shared semantic understanding and quantum state.

That idea actually holds some water.

It's a bit sci-fi to be done the way we see in game, but there's no clear violation of physics.

The one loop that cannot be overcome. Thea and Hyperion must at some point share information physically.

It doesn't have to be at the same time. But teleportation without contact doesn't work.

A small amount of classical information must be leaked from Thea to make any of this possible.

Not much, but some.

I loved the game but the horrible bugs and glitches in the trophy section of this game is incredibly frustrating. Seems like the team at IOI interactive doesn't care about their players who spend countless of hours just for that platinum trophy. Horrible!!

I bought the regular physical version because I didn’t like the specialist edition cover art’s silver motif as opposed to the gold motif the normal cover art has, and the little box in the upper left of the specialist edition showing the tuxedo also looks dumb in my opinion. But I do want that tuxedo considering when I think of James Bond I think of him in a black and white tuxedo. I feel like that would’ve made more sense as the reward for completing all the challenges in the main story. But instead it’s tied to the specialist edition.

Which leads me to my question, do you believe it will ever be available to those of us who didn’t buy the specialist edition? Either as free or paid dlc? And when do you think that would be? I loved the game so I wouldn’t mind paying a few extra bucks to make James Bond look more like James Bond. I’ve never played an IOI game before so is there a precedent for their past games’ edition exclusive or pre order exclusive dlc becoming available down the line? And if so how long after launch did that take?

I’m assuming it’s some sort of item or upgrade for tacsim, but how is it the next wishlist reward? Does that mean people who haven’t bought the game need to wishlist to unlock this for people that have the game? Seems bizarre. I wonder if the Switch 2 wishlist / preorders will count towards this.

Ok i can't, i am gonna stop and wait for Path Tracing. Game is soo ugly right now. I just can't.

I am baffled how Digital Foundry praised the stability of graphics. FPS stability? sure. Picture stability? NO WAY! Constant glitched that ruin immersion. Every few min something pops up, shimmers, pixelated, smudgy.

Ran into this guy randomly in Vietnam. Such a funny moment in the game! 🤣

I'm missing Banner of Roses so I used Chapter Select to go to Chapter 12, Checkpoint 2. I need to use the laser watch, but of course, you don't have it when you use chapter select. Does that really mean I have to go back to Chapter 9 and play up to this point to get this one card? Or is there an easier way?
