I thought he looked similar to Ethan Hunt

Having jet black hair would have probably went a long way

repsahj10d ago

I thought he looks like Max Payne. XD

Iceball200010d ago

I thought the same thing “ ohh a young Tom Cruse” (Ethan Hunt).

I remember the 007 games on ps2 were all decent. Nightfire i believe it was called.
This one looks interesting and could be on my radar

Cellblock119d ago

Doesn't look anything like Drake. Kinda looks like a younger Tom Cruise.

slate919d ago

I meant this looks like uncharted. Which kudos to Uncharted for inspiring so much in today's games.

Problem I have with this is the art direction looks weird to me. Some of the animations look cartoonishly exaggerated, like that weird wind up and speed up look… and I’m not digging the Bond look. That all being said, knowing IOI, it’ll be a fun time, I just hope the art direction isn’t super distracting.

RaidenBlack9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

To me it looks unique.
Given Hitman III, and how good it looks and still was a cross gen game, they could've went for the more photo realistic look easily since this 007 game is current gen only. But it could've looked generic among the recent swarm of UE5 based games with pre built photo scanned assets.
This just have a deliberate unique touch that only dedicated veteran team can offer with experienced artists/designers. And couple that with hallmark IOI gameplay, it'll be even more unique. Just give it a chance. Don't write it off yet (reserve that for the countless UE5 based games being churned out). Also glacier engine will offer better perf than UE5.

CrimsonWing699d ago

Oh I ain’t denying it’s not “unique,” it’s a matter of preference and it’s off-putting to me visually.

I have no doubt it’ll be great to play. But for me, personally, I don’t like the look and slightly exaggerated animations. It’s just more cartoony looking than what I want from a Bond game.

Should have waited for the new movie and used the new actor whoever that turns out to be. Not a fan off the charector model on show

Si-Fly9d ago

Should’ve used Flemming’s Bond and set the game in the 60’s.

-Foxtrot9d ago

Least they have the scar but yeah I agree

They could have done an accurate Bond from Flemings description / sketch of him.

RaidenBlack9d ago

There's a big chance the new Bond under the new leadership be Cavill and with the new MI series being so Bond-esque yet at the same time so futuristic, the new Bond story/theme might target classics era like 60s/70s to appear unique.

Si-Fly9d ago

I’d love to see that but I’d say that’s highly unlikely.

Looks like a healthy mix of Hitman and Uncharted.

It has my interest.

Extermin8or3_8d ago

Both of which I'd argue are in many ways inspired by the bond films/games of the past. Especially some aspects of uncharted which basically draws from any action film/game it can.

TheGamersDojo8d ago

Definitely, and it looks all the better for it.
