I mean as someone who grew up playing all the 007 ganes, this fits right in. The games have always been like that. Start slow and sneaky, sh#t hits the fan and it turns onto an action set piece.

-Foxtrot176d ago

I really hope in the future any other Bond games made by different developers will use their own Bond and Universe rather than just using whoever is playing Bond in the films. It's a video game, they should have the freedom to do their own take rather than being restricted by what the films are doing.

Hopefully outfits and Easter eggs found in this game won't just all be of Craigs era, really want to see some original Sean Connery stuff.

Man, glad Sony is there to promote the unheard of indie studio IO Interactive.

neutralgamer1992181d ago

With no more E3 it's just what we have been left with. Hate minium efforts by these companies. I was so disappointed to find out there was no Xbox conference at gamescom. Those were the days when we had 1-2 hour showcases

Sony is falling really low to promote an uncharted clone.. this is unimaginable 4 years ago

Eonjay181d ago

State of Play is an game advertisement platform. Nintendo and Microsoft do the same things with their platforms as well.

Christopher180d ago

Those others promote more first party than third. Sony is overwhelmingly mostly third party the last 3 years.

RaidenBlack180d ago

@Chris
But you were ok with Borderlands 4 SoP?
And FFVIIR? (Not 1st party and It only had launch exclusivity)

@zubbs= obscured: “ At least Xbox still does a summer showcase. Sony does nothing”
Hey obscured at least Sony is promoting a game that not many in the community know about 🤷🏿
At least try to contain your excitement till we know more about this game 🤣

Thanks for sharing Alt account comment. It has been marked as spam as usual. Another ridiculous comment from him... When will he learn that all his comments get removed because they are mostly stupid.

I didn't know IO Interactive were a sony first party studio 🤔😂 they could have showed this at Gamescom instead of a *sony state of play*

wesnytsfs181d ago

They are not a first party studio. This game is also releasign on pc, xbox and I think switch

pwnmaster3000181d ago

That’s the point. Why even have a state of play for it.
I think you misunderstood op’s meaning.

RaiderNation181d ago

Its not unprecedented. Sony has done State of Plays for 3rd party games before. Just this year they had one for Borderlands 4.

Jingsing181d ago

James Bond Jr. character model.

KiRBY3000181d ago

well, it is a new original story so that makes perfect sense. they are shooting for a trilogy, we'll get "experienced" James Bond eventually.

-Foxtrot181d ago

Yeah they could have done a bit more to him, maybe make him more like Flemings original sketch of Bond.

He looks like Ethan Hunt or some redesign of Nathan Drake

cloganart180d ago

Supposed to be like an early Origin story. Makes sense!

Fun fact: The actor also played Dexter Morgan in Dexter Original Sin!

Lightning77181d ago (Edited 181d ago )

I think we're starting to feel the effects of the new leadership and regime under Sony now. They've been through changes many times in last console gens but they've always remained to their mantra of great games and gamers coming first.

Jim was terrible but at least he knew the games we liked even though he was the pioneer of LS push early this gen for PS. Current Sony is seemingly clueless. I know Santa Monica is ready to announce their game at some point this gen it's been way too long. Stand Alone Venom game for 2026 could be on the cards. Maybe some Saros gameplay.

Maybe they have one more State Of Play in them and the game Awards. So maybe I'm speaking too soon(probably am). It's just getting annoying and tiring trying to figure out what Sony is doing anymore.

Smitty2020181d ago

I forgot all about this game since it got announced ages ago
