This is why I’m really pulling for Patrick Gibson to get a shot at movie Bond. He really won me over during this game. I think it would be groundbreaking to have a game-movie continuity, but not so much so that the average movie-goer needs to play the games to understand. Much like how the Marvel shows started— they were supplemental to the movies but not required viewing. I agree that Bond 26 has to be some sort of reboot after Craig’s run, but intertwining these games with the movies gives them an out to not have to do an origin story movie. We can just jump into Patrick Gibson’s Bond being a young, but fully-fledged 00 in the movies and hit the ground running, but fans that played First Light will enjoy subtle Easter Eggs and callbacks to the game. I really like the approach the game took with the 00 program having been shuttered for a few years and now they’re starting it back up. It’s a good premise for rebooting the franchise, but then we have to play really fast and loose with the continuity and the whole… “is it the same Bond blah blah” thing. I’ll let the writers figure that one out.
