games would last hours and consist of players dressed as dog catchers killing innocent mail men that look a little fishy.
So ...
PS: Note that actual stroke is not a laughing matter however. Learn the signs, including slurred speech, dilated unequal pupils, paralysis to one side and immediately call 911 or your nation's emergency equivalent.

I actually thought Remedy would be the perfect developer for Bond but this is obviously a perfect fit as well.
Kinda like wanting Sucker Punch to work on a Spider-Man game then finding out that Insomniac are working on it instead and being just as excited.

I'm not sure what this means, Bond is a pretty good franchise to build a game around. I'd like to see their approach to it that's for sure.
What? You mean you didn't enjoy losing access to all your unlocked weapons and items just because the internet went down! I loved that feature!
They're better than 1995 Rare?
EDIT: 1997! Although it will have started development in 1995.
You've got a bunch of developers and publishers sat around, excited to make a genuinely interesting reveal, and it's ruined in a fairly cowardly way 45 minutes prior by someone briefed on the project in confidence who wants to score social kudos.
Hitman and hitman 2 were homeruns. Goldeneye's campaign was pretty good but eh, the game blew up thanks to its local MP.
It's kinda crazy to think we haven't actually really had a good bond game since then...and with Goldeneye aging horribly there's literally nothing to play these days that's bond related that's stood any sort of test if time...like...how is that even possible? It's James bond for Christ sake. It sounds like an IP that SHOULD be impossible to mess up.
Yeah I'm excited about the prospect of a good 007 game. But I really don't enjoy stealth gameplay, so obviously I'm a bit concerned with IO at the helm.
Where did I say they organised them?
Are you saying they don't pay attention to them, or get excited about them?
Do you think the hundreds of people working on AAA games *enjoy* being NDA'd for 5 years at a time about their work?
He does it all the time, like literally before anything big happens. I hate it every time, proper dickhead move
Damn ok, I'm in.
its gonna really suck if they're NOT working on James Bond lol... my hype is pretty high right now

I think if it's a matter of having a cool surprise reveal at 3pm, or having someone ruin the surprise 45 minutes earlier they'd probably rather wait.
Your viewpoint on this is bizarre.
It's the very worst of internet In The Knowism.
Being dicks to score points.
From what I remember their partnership ended on a good note. Sure SE lost interest in them but they sold them back to themselves and let them take the IP. I don't think there were any burned bridgesHmm, the Warner project seems like the obvious thing, but I wonder if Square Enix is involved in some way with this at least in the EU, because Square randomly also opened a Hitman 3 preorder page just yesterday (which is kinda funny)

Edit: Just found out that SE is actually handling the retail release for Hitman 3 in like most of the world outside America. A bit ironic to have the Square Enix logo back on a Hitman box this quickly after the split.
If they do it right, it could be a sandbox where you can choose your approach. Frankly, the Bond-like approach is how most people play Hitman anyway: they attempt to do things quietly, then things don't go according to plan, and they end up shooting their way out!
That guy just loves ruining reveals just before they are announced doesn't he....IOI + 007 = gaming nirvana,hope it's real.
This would be fantastic. They were licenced games, but I miss the Bond games. I'd play one, especially one made by IO.
They've made others games though of varying quality that aren't stealth games. Freedom fighters, mini ninjas and Kane and lynch being the obvious ones...
I can't say i particularly want it to be a shooter though. Because bond films aren't really like that. And bond himself isn't really a Sam fisher type so I wouldn't expect any shadow lurking stealth either.
Hitman already actually feels VERY James bond to me. All it really needs is to replace the assassination target gameplay loop with some James bond-esque objectives and action set pieces. Can even keep most of the social stealth aspects to approach the missions how you wish...bar the changing clothes thing. That might be a bit weird š But there could be other ways around that, finding identification you can flash at guards to get in areas you otherwise couldn't etc.
