![]() ![]() You could make the argument that Bond was originally written to be that “blunt instrument” that Dame Judi Dench so callously referred to him as in Casino Royale, but I can’t help but think back on how Sean Connery’s Bond used underground passages and hidden contacts more than a gun in arguably the best Bond movie ever, From Russia With Love. On paper, there’s no studio better equipped to do James Bond justice. That’s not just a better case scenario: it’s the best-case scenario. Instead, IO Interactive secured the rights to the franchise. If you had told me that Activision was producing another Bond game, I’d have rolled my eyes and made peace with being modestly happy to play it on Game Pass one day. ![]() That’s what makes this announcement so exciting. Its failure to do so was the sadly appropriate end of Activision’s run with the James Bone license which failed to produce a single title that felt worthy of legendary Bond games such as GoldenEye 007, Everything or Nothing, or the late Sean Connery’s farewell to the Bond franchise, From Russia With Love. If you’re wondering why it feels like it’s been even longer than that, it’s probably because 2012’s 007 Legends was a poor attempt at not only recapturing the glory days of Bond himself (its gimmick was that you got to play as every major film version of Bond) but the glory days of Bond video games. And if the critical acclaim for the latest Hitman games are anything to go off on, James Bond is in good hands here.It has been eight long years since the release of the last James Bond game. To be fair though, they haven’t even started working on the game yet, so there’s no point in complaining about it. We can only make guesses based on tiny details from the teaser. IO Interactive’s teaser trailer for their new Project 007 game is pretty cool, but devoid of anything about the actual game. A spoonful of salt for your troubles? Conclusion You’re free to take it with as much salt as you like. You can clearly see the bolt handle there.Īlthough that’s just speculation at this point. This seems to suggest that sniping will be a major component of Project 007‘s gameplay. Although, we have seen James Bond use rifles and other long-arms in some of the movies and games whenever he want to take out enemies from a distance. Insert bullet, close chamber.Īlso, the gun appears to be a bolt-action rifle of some description based on how James Bond loads it and the size and shape of the bullet (which seems to be a 7.62x51mm NATO round), but that’s a detail that’s only of interest to us gun nuts. The interesting thing about the teaser is that the camera is actually inside the gun, first pointing towards the chamber as the gun is loaded, and then slowly panning towards the muzzle, where we finally see daylight out the other end. Project 007: Not Enough Intel to Die Over Intel insufficient! Abort, abort!Īll we got for this teaser trailer is a short animation of someone (presumably James Bond) loading a gun and firing it, revealing the logo for Project 007 at the end. It’s hard to show off any substance when you don’t have any. Although, the fact that they haven’t actually started developing this game may also be part of the reason for this. It seems that IO Interactive want to keep any details tightly under wraps. We’ve got a new mission for you.Īs you can see though, there’s not much in the way of actual substance in this Project 007 teaser trailer. ![]()
