![]() Only this time I’m not excited about the prospect of going back to sitting on a couch in my basement playing splitscreen with friends. So I find myself once again getting excited about a followup to GoldenEye. That’s exactly the world that IO plays in with Hitman, and it’s the side of Bond I most want to see in a game. While the older Bond games captured the bombastic action and car chases, they’ve typically skirted around the sneaky spy stuff and the related gadgetry. But it seems fair to assume that the studio is using its Glacier tech because it wants Project 007 to play like Hitman. IOI didn’t provide any solid details about how its James Bond game will play. I want a 007 adventure that does something different, and that is where IOI comes in. It’s something we suffered through because it was the best way to approximate the multiplayer deathmatch action that other games would later turn into actual fun games on Xbox and beyond.Īnd now that we’ve had 23 years since GoldenEye, I know that I don’t want a James Bond game like GoldenEye. If you weren’t playing Quake on PC, you didn’t know what a first-person shooter should feel like.Īs time went on, even most GoldenEye 007 fans admit that it was probably never that good. This was a console shooter before Halo or Call of Duty. And the issue with that is GoldenEye 007 had the benefit of its time and place. This led to publishers sticking to the first-person action of that Nintendo original. The problem with every 007 game after GoldenEye is that fans believed they wanted GoldenEye over and over. ![]() IO Interactive will do something new with James Bond So why am I letting myself get excited for a new Bond video game adventure? Because time has recalibrated my expectations, and because IO Interactive is an ideal choice for this character.
