Io-Interactive and Realm Pictures recently invited a select group of people to become Agent 47’s handler, as he goes on a mission to eliminate a Serbian arms dealer in a real life Hitman experience unlike anything created before. And two of the most dangerous men in the UK were invited to take part: Paul and Barry Chuckle.
Hitman developer IO Interactive was approached by several IP holders, but eventually settled with the James Bond IP.
Interested in seeing how these turn out. An updated Goldeneye style game would be nice if they could take everything good about it but modernise it and expand/make better, without taking away that particular feel it had.
“with their version of Bond being closer to Daniel Craig’s than Roger Moore’s”
This is disappointing to hear, I liked the Craig films but they made Craig more like a tank, Bourne style, I was hoping for someone who looks like what Flemming envisioned for Bond with his sketch, it’s a video game they could literally do the most accurate Bond ever.
Someone who you’d underestimate, relies on gadgets, his environment and his quick thinking to get out of situations, Craig didn’t really have that.
The month of October is going to be filled with excitement as the Hitman franchise is commemorating its 25 years of being in the business.
It’s the 25th anniversary this year?
I’d have assumed it would have gotten something like a remastered trilogy of the original games or a remake of the first game. Something for a 25th celebration.
Super lacklustre
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
Paul is a savage. Barry is the voice of reason.
"Bleed the radiator". Please, my sides can't take much more.
