IO Interactive General Thread - Developers of Project 007, Hitman, Freedom Fighters, Kane & Lynch (and Mini Ninjas)

  • The Kiwi Farms was targeted with a historic DDoS attack last week. Confirmed reports of 2.8Tbps on an individual provider, topping 4.8Tbps when known volumes are added together, and possibly up to 8Tbps if the attacker is believed. This is the third of fourth largest recorded.

It looks boring to be honest. It looks just like Uncharted if it were made in the Hitman WOA engine and given a James Bond lick of paint, but one that is very safe and progressive, complete with muh vulnerabilities and race swaps of established characters. Why bother. Nothing new at all.

I binged all "modern" Bond movies and then MI and honestly, MI blows Bond out of the water. The whole "gentleman walks from car top to car top without a sweat" doesn't work when it's competing with "Crazy scientologist nutjob runs on a plane with no wires". There simply isn't any 'class' left in Bond. It's not a national holiday in britannia when a new movie drops.

According to IGN India the new soy bond is far away from the traditional malecoded Bond stereotype. He is more soft, he will not make jokes that hurt womens feelings :story:

So.. lack of confidence; the one thing that makes sexist jokes land?
 
It's like they took that one MST3K sketch from back in the day (from episode 504, featuring a 60s Eurospy flick Secret Agent Super Dragon) where Crow T. Robot has written a spy film script that's very politically correct in the 1990s way (I mean, the episode was produced in the 90s but I think you know what I mean) and full of psychobabble about "affirmations" and "respecting boundaries", and the makers of this game decided to write something in that vein but seriously.

Tom: For God's sake, man! I want to drink martinis in Istanbul and utter glib bon mots in Moscow, and drive with my feet while escaping thugs in Monte Carlo, and meet girls in Ipanema--the kinds of things a super-secret super-spy is *supposed* to do!
Crow: I support your owning those feelings.
Tom: Yeah, support this.

People insisting there's no problem with the new M because Dame Judi Dench was M and- shut up, as far as I know, most people's preferred cinematic M was Bernard Lee, and anyways there's a large difference between Dench and some hideous Desi.

Making M Indian is just spitting in our faces. And of course Moneypenny is still black.

Craig's run was filled with bisexuality and woke shit and they would still throw an attractive woman in to try and trick us. This is no different.
 
Yeah, a 007 gta/saintsrow-like sandbox game with a non-existant story and a shit ton of gadgets/weapons/exotic enemies would have been better.
 
Having a black tiktokker no one have heard about doing stupid hand gestures appear in the game. That is not funny at all, its just fucking lame. What about having the Hawk Tuah girl as a romance option, and when you success you get her to your hotel room. The lights turn off and you hear the "Hawk Tuah" sound, that would have been fucking funny. But cant have that, because the blue haired hambeast with septum ring would scream its misogynist and sexist.

I’m up to chapter 3 which seems like the first real mission of the game.
Everything up to this point has been a real slog, completely on rails, in and out of gameplay and jarring at times.

Apparently it picks up eventually and gets “good” but this is the most shit start to a game I’ve ever played.
I’m 2.5 hours in lmao, sick tutorial bro.
 
What I got from trailers is that it plays similar to Hitman when you just decide to start shooting into the crowd (Self defence situation), rather boring cause the enemy AI are either brain dead or Chris Kyle getting headshots from across the map.

He looks like Pink Guy, which makes me think they should of had him as the protag rather than digging up Bond's corpse.

The thing looks like an even more generic, sterile version of Uncharted 4.

Also, all the female characters look like shit. Anyone that argues otherwise has the standards of a redditor.

You thought Soyny was bad with their self inserts, Here we have IO Interactive with the self insert of their bathroom cleaning lady from India as M in the game. Gotta fill them DEI quotas :story:

Okay, I’ve seen enough. No, thank you.
 
For whoever doing the sacrifice to share their insights about this excuse of a game: My respects :semperfidelis:

I hate this era of what gaming have become. A fucking DEI / Bridge broken virus that ended up butchering & bastardized beloved franchises just because the previous games formulas aren't fitting for this so called Modern Audiences.

Not even with a 20 feet pole would touch this shit excuse of 007. I rather to play the previous because at least is not going to have DEI or cringe ass self-inserts.

Gaming seems fucking dead nowadays
