We are not going to lie: James Bond is perhaps the least secret secret agent in the world. With 007 First Light However, English will be at the very beginning of a career and with the big experience in developing developers, the latter want to make the protagonist a discreet fighter … but also a minimum supposed. By that mean that in the game, he is not even an agent 00 yet and, in fact, he does not yet have the iconic “license to kill”. Bond cannot therefore kill any NPC, in principle and respect for human life, yes, and also because it is illegal, even for him.
It was Jonathan Lacaille, director of the Io Interactive franchise, who gave more details on 007 First Light During an interview with Radio Times Gaming. Far from the assumed carnage of certain previous games, this new episode will therefore choose a certain restraint since Bond does not yet have its “permit to kill”. This particular status will directly impact the gameplay: Jonathan Lacaille then evokes a “Commitment rule” scalable, which will be detailed later this summer. Some missions will impose strict limits on the use of violence, forcing the player to adapt to each situation. A legitimate way to use gadgets rather than lethal weapons, and force infiltration. And it’s smart.
Io Interactive, with its expertise on HitmanApply a similar philosophy here: encourage improvisation and rapid decision -making. Lacaille announces that the accent will be put “The present moment […]that the player reflects all the time with his cold, and that he must make rapid decisions, whether under pressure. “
This also raises the question of body to mele, historically perfectible in Ioi. 007 will therefore have to play fists, but not send the mower in express: the promise of a more successful system is expected at the turn. We should know more very quickly, finally, we hope.
