They certainly have the capacity to make a great spy/stealth game, but the question is what kind of game they'll try to make. After all, James Bond isn't known for its stealthiness, but rather for the action and the mess it leaves behind him. Because I assume it will be a him, not a her inspired by the next movie. |
I agree. I mean, Bond does tend to go for stealth quite often, but usually things go south and chaos ensues - which means there is some room for stealth as well! But action certainly has to work too, otherwise it won't really be a Bond game. IOI ought to have the capacity to nail the stealth part, but it's the action part that seems less certain. I imagine the game will at least have a good amount of player choice, which would fit an agent game really well - I think even a Bond game.
(Also, I'm personally not a huge fan of having to even discuss the gender/sex of an established character. If you want change, create a new character, put him/her/them/it/whatever in a great game, and I'll buy it regardless of the gender. Did I mention yet that I hate English for having gendered pronouns?)
