We'll presumably find out when it is revealed.
I hope they take what makes Hitman so good (dynamic missions, multiple paths, etc.) and apply it to the James Bond license. That way we'd get the choice of action or stealth. Adding in dialogue options could make for a good shift in that gameplay style too.
There's a suggestion they want it to be part of a trilogy, so maybe the name will make more sense if/when the two follow-ups are announced.
For example:
First Light / Daylight / Final Light
First Light / Second Sight / Final Rite
Both VERY poor examples (I'm no writer, after all... These would be terrible names!) but it illustrates the idea.
Also, 'Agent Under Fire', 'Nightfire' and 'Bloodst...
I think they'll go for a version that more closely fits his description from the original novels. What you can see here fits that fairly well. I hope they'll set this in the era of the original books, rather than it be modern day, but who knows.
I really like the look of his coat from this! A minor detail, but it looks promising.
So far this year, I've only bought games that RRP at around £35 to £40 (Expedition 33, Split Fiction, plus have a few others in mind).
Both of the above are far better games than most of the higher price games that I've played over the last few years.
...what?
I did wonder whether Sony was going to have a go at the whole 'tie-in TV show to accompany the game' gimmick.
Naughty Dog's last two franchises have both been brought to the screen in some way. There are still talks of a Jak and Daxter movie, too. So it would seem plausible that Sony are taking a more pro-active approach this time.
Not that I am in favour of this - I think it's a sure way to make neither the game nor the TV series (/movie)...
I was holding out hope that Nightreign WOULD be for me. I ONLY play single player, and often only have an hour or an hour and a half to play in one sitting.
I thought a bite-size slice of Soulsbourne gameplay would be ideal.
Sadly, it seems the single player option is only for elite players. So it's going to be a pass from me.
Very excited for this - it sounds like a very worthy follow-up to the excellent main game.
I'm not sure I'd even buy ice cream from him anymore...
It is amazing how similar my story is to yours.
Many of us bought Borderlands 3 out of a sense of nostalgia for how much we enjoyed Borderlands 2 (which is, to this day, a great game). But despite buying everything Borderlands have released, the last time I wasn't disappointed by something they produced was the Tiny Tina DLC for Borderlands 2. That was over a decade ago...

Not all of us. I'm a big PlayStation fan, and have been since the PSOne. But I can't begin to defend what's happening currently.
At least Nintendo release a large number of games from their major franchises. Sony is just not banking on their established franchises, and yet are raising prices. Not great.
It might not be for everyone, but it was highly celebrated by critics and fans alike. The level of storytelling is unparalleled, and the worldbuilding and interconnectivity with other Remedy games is something that has never been done before in the medium. I think that makes it 'great'.
I agree, and suggesred as much. But I was approaching it from the perspective of the employees, of whom there are now many more, working more years for the same release.
Thankfully, gaming has become more mainstream, which is what has kept the cost low for such a long time. Games now sell in far greater numbers, which keeps the cost low. But as this growth slows (as is inevitable), we should expect to see the cost rise.
I don't like paying a lot for games, but frankly, this needs to happen if the industry is going to improve.
Back in 2005, brand new releases of PS2 games usually cost £39.99 in the UK, with some going up to £45. Adjusting for inflation, that's between £70 and £80 today.
Then consider that in 2005, many games were being developed by teams of around 40. Nowadays, for games of the same 'tier', you're looking at 500+.

As a big fan of the Remedy-verse, I really REALLY want to like this. But I'm not usually a fan of online multiplayer games. I really hope that what the developers have said about it not requiring you to play frequently turns out to be true.
I think the point they're trying to make - whether we agree or not - is that if the game was released as a new game now, with all these bugs, it wouldn't be considered acceptable. So why should we embrace it or use it as a standard by which to compare modern games, just because at the time of it's release, it's bugs and glitches were largely overlooked?
Not saying I necessarily agree, but I can see the argument.
Because Indiana Jones isn't a game that needs to be worked on right up until release date (which is the main reason for this trend). The game has been complete for months.
For me, this has taken the game from being a day one purchase to a 'wait for a sale' purchase.
Spooky...

Hopefully they'll find some middle ground between the two. The extra verticality was great. But personally, I prefer being able to pause the battle when opening the combat wheels/menus, rather than just slowing down events. Allowed for much more careful and tactical gameplay.
The one thing I hope they fully bring back is a proper class system. Andromeda's system where you could mix and match across all the classes is a perfect example ...
Quantum of Solace is a title of one of the original short stories by Ian Fleming.
The story of the movie is not based on that short story, however.
