IOI's 007 "Looking Very Cool," Project Fantasy "Not Confirmed" To Be Xbox Exclusive

Now, when for years talking with IOI meant talking Hitman, this time around their two other, still under wraps projects were getting closer by the day. And Project Fantasy specifically, which had been linked to Xbox as early as in 2021, saw earlier this summer how the Activision acquisition all but confirmed, or leaked, its future publishing under the Xbox Games Studio logo.

It's been about 20 years since a good James Bond game. Not sure if its the nostalgia but the og Xbox just had banger after banger for the Bond games

Profchaos348d ago

I think it's nostalgia the only two bond games I consider good are Goldeneye and from Russia with love which was an 6th gen game on PS and Xbox (think it skipped GameCube) the last under EA before Activision started making bond of duty games

Hofstaderman348d ago

My favorite is Agent Under Fire.

P_Bomb348d ago (Edited 348d ago )

007 Everything or Nothing was my main! Last 007 I bought/beat was Blood Stone.

terstomp348d ago

From Russia With Love was on the GameCube.
Goldeneye Rogue Agent was on the GameCube.

I hope Project Fantasy is exclusive to Xbox and more games become exclusive to Xbox in the next few years as it might get Sony to become a 3rd party publisher and release all their 1st party games on Future Xbox consoles.

thesoftware730348d ago

Battlestar23

Hahahaha, that was a good one.

Vengeance1138348d ago (Edited 348d ago )

Hahahahahahaha 🤣😂 most unrealistic fantasy ever put to words hahahaha
Also ironic since Xbox is pretty much a 3rd party publisher already, not a chance they'll make anymore hardware.

wiz7191348d ago

@Vengence if you think MS will stop making hardware now that’s an unrealistic fantasy 😂😂😂 why would they stop making hardware to solely depend on making money on the competition hardware ?? That’s kind of dumb .. they didn’t buy studios to stop making hardware lol

Vengeance1138348d ago

@wiz

Not sure if you keep up with latest events but Microsofts big push is no console required to play their games. Starfield has a big marketing ad to play straight from Samsung TVs on their hub (no console required) .
Xbox is just a subscription service nothing more. Play it on phones, tablet, PC etc literally no reason in the world for Microsoft to make another console, it's against their whole strategy. Not to mention current Xbox hardware sales are horrendous, can't even crack 30M when Sony is beyond 40M. Nobody needs an Xbox.

wiz7191348d ago

@Vengence what are you talking about ? The Xbox app you have to have a Xbox to use any functionality .. when I stream through the Xbox app it uses My Xbox , I cannot stream anything if my Xbox isn’t connected to the internet. I’m guessing ppl never heard of OPTIONS before SMFH .. Just because someone gives you more options to get into the ecosystem doesn’t mean they will drop their dedicated gaming machine. You think MS will take the same route Stadia did ?? Only fools on N4G believe that .. think about it like this wtf would they stop making hardware to develop for Sony or Nintendo .. Who are worth way less than they are ? They could just out right buy them both lol .. half you ppl on here don’t know wtf y’all be talking about lol you can only stream certain games on mobile and tablets , so you’ll still need a Xbox regardless. It takes consistent work and release of good games to easily increase sales , lol I own all three so I can enjoy everything like a REAL gamer should.

Vengeance1138348d ago (Edited 348d ago )

@wiz
Oh man what an absolute mess of a rant you just vomited lol you really reveal your fanboyism for Xbox. It's incredibly hilarious how you somehow brought up company worth into your unhinged rant like it has any impact on anything. MS has always been worth more than Sony and Nintendo since they entered the industry, how's that working out for them? Oh right last place every generation. Do you know why Gamepass exists? Because Sony beat MS so incredibly badly and humiliated them that they had to think up a whole new way to exist lol 😆
Also buy them?? Do you realize MS did try to buy Nintendo once and Nintendo literally laughed in their face LOL That's how much of a joke MS is. Sony would do the same, Microsoft would have to run out of the meeting room humiliated once again lol. All that money and it's useless to them. How's Bethesda working out? Oh right they haven't moved the needle at all.
Xbox is done making hardware. If they did, it'd be incredibly hypocritical to their own marketing. No console needed just like Starfield. Play on a TV, nobody needs an Xbox.
Go ahead name one game where anyone NEEDS an Xbox to play lol I bet you can't do it.
So adorable lol ohhh a REAL gamer oh wow, we all better watch out for you hahaha ha, big kid in town.

If anything, with the way they are going and what their overall goals seems to be, you have more chance of Xbox becoming third party than Sony

And you know it

MisterZay0000348d ago

LOL! That some weak trolling. Anyways Xbox may not even be around for much longer the way their low sales has been going.

ApocalypseShadow348d ago

I actually laughed at this ridiculous nonsense.

tay8701348d ago

Lmao that's not going to happen. You want sony games, buy a playstation or wait for them to come to pc. It's far more likely that xbox will become a 3rd party publishers since they continually finish last place and their push towards gamepass is growing. They will probably end up exiting the console market and become a huge 3rd party publisher.

DarthZoolu348d ago

I’m not excited at all because you’re not going to be able to play it off line and they’re gonna come out with a bunch of different packages that makes the entire game a mess!

CrashMania348d ago

Been a very long time since we got a good 007 game, and I don't count the recent barebones ports of Goldeneye either, I hope it's good.

-Foxtrot348d ago

I really hope they design Bond to look like the classic sketch Flemming did of him

Also I really hope this gets a vocal theme song for the game.

Is the industry hurting for money or not?

Hofstaderman1d 8h ago

They belong to XBOX. Its a dog's life....

Chocoburger1d 8h ago

Nice thing they did, but not actually gaming related, not sure why this article was approved. Also strange informing us what game Rare worked on, as if we don't know their legacy.

Tacoboto1d 7h ago

Sorry you hate dog news - here's a game-related headline for you, the latest: "Deathsprint 66 is a hyperviolent freerunner that proves game journos suck at games | Video Gamer"

Yeah we need more headlines like *that* on this site, instead of news about a studio's employee perks.

GaboonViper1d 7h ago

Its actually nice to see a story like this instead of the usual doom and gloom but people still moan, anyhow hope these beautiful doggos have a great life.

GaboonViper1d 7h ago

Really nice story, kudos to Rare.

Mulletino14h ago

I went to look at new apartments and saw only dog parks, no kid parks. We're so screwed.

Damn was hoping for a fantasy setting. Looks futuristic

jznrpg1d 10h ago (Edited 1d 10h ago )

I think that’s a screensaver if you look to the right it looks more like a fantasy game and so does the concept art leaked earlier. Who knows though

phoenixwing12h ago

Unless that structure/pillar thingy in the right picture is long forgotten technology it's futuristic.

Name Last Name1d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

Another shooter? Yawn. Thought the prevous concept looked more fantasy.

just_looken21h ago

With there same look on the right a arena setting this might be live service game #5 from sony

So a live service shooter like concord.....

StormSnooper20h ago

It looks like a fantasy game on the right screen. You are looking at a screensaver.

Goodguy011d 11h ago

Been looking forward to what they have next. Looks interesting.

Eonjay1d 11h ago

Really excited to see them release an original IP

GaboonViper1d 7h ago

Looks like my dream of them remaking Metal Gear Solid is over, still cant wait to see what they are cooking up.

Unions in gaming are necessary fr fr

montebristo1d 9h ago

I used to be anti-union, it kills productivity, investment and turns product mediocre. Their games suck anyways though so what was lost? Might as well get their people paid until they are dissolved.

shinoff21831d 9h ago

Unions are necessary regardless of how you feel. You know how fked the working class would be without them. As if we're not already.

montebristo1d 8h ago

No they aren’t, regardless of how you feel. Unions make zero sense for skill based labor. They are for people who press a button every 10 seconds on an assembly line. “working class” is a made up term. I don’t care about corporations or developers, I just want good games lol. Killing your incentives to appease the lowest common denominator doesn’t lead to great games imo

montebristo1d 2h ago (Edited 1d 2h ago )

I wasn’t trying to be offensive if I came off that way. The Union is an old mentality and I can see their usefulness but also the danger. We’re in the age of AI and robots and skill based labor. Unions can be dangerous these days. You could replace your entire workforce in one move. Checkmate. Look to the kiosk replacing workers in the 20 dollar minimum wage era.

Well run businesses don’t need unions. If you need a Union that business won’t survive anyway. Unless it’s propped up by the government with corporate welfare (which is the real issue). If you’re not going to spend some on your workers (Amazon, Google) then your welfare is cut off. No tax breaks. All you put together don’t match their wealth and resources, the union is a traditional memory at this point and counterproductive with this new enemy we face. They need a flying elbow from the top ropes. And by “working class is a made up term” I just mean we’re not a class system and even CEO Bobby Kotick puts in a days work lol. Or did.. It’s just a vague term that doesn’t mean anything no offense lol. People say “middle class” but that can change quick right? Up or down. That’s not a “class system”.
