So we should interpret every single piece of news about the game according to what it means for the entire future of both the company and the franchise! I also get the feeling that this is a project that some of the younger people in EON pushed for and finally Barbara gave the nod of approval. But it seems realistic with the lack of recent games (and the quality of the last few), that she was sceptical. Maybe BB was already aware that video games are in a boom market at the moment and she just needed to know that IOI aren't total fools. This one is basically one chopped up interview with the head of IOI, so he might just be saying that, to push his own narrative.
You never now how much self-mytholigizing is in these articles. Her point about 'violence for the sake of violence' is quite a good one to be honest- the last few Bond games have featured a pretty relentless amount of murder which never really sat right with Bond- he kills people, but not that many people! Wow that sounds very impressive if they've persuaded Ms Broccoli when she was against the idea.
When they pitched to Barbara Broccoli directly, IOI had already been working on this project for two years.Īnd, as already said: Completely original story not based on any previous story or actor. There is mention of "life-threatening missions, raucous car chases and evil villains", although that is not a direct quote, so I wouldn't take that as a confirmation of car chase sequences.

I would assume not all 400 people work exclusively on Project 007, but the game obviously is massive for them. IOI is doubling their workforce from currently 200 people to 400 people for the next years. Obviously IOI's pitch turned her head, so we probably won't see a straight shooter (not that I expected that from IOI anyway). Small tidbits I gleaned from pushing this through Google translate:īarbara Broccoli was originally against the idea, because previous games were not "worthy enough" and that it was "violence for the sake of violence". New info on the game - original Bond not based on any other previous actors, original story that could lead to a trilogy of games,
