Now, I know gently caress all about James Bond but CoD-ification is something that'd probably happen if the movies were shot today too. It's a sign of the age.

Actually watching the video, it's kinda funny that literally the first name you see when you start the game is "Albert R. Broccoli". Screw 007, there's a superhero name.

My question for this game is "How did Bond find a silencer for his shotgun?"
The most baffling 007 gadget of them all. I don't think I've ever seen that in a game.
Except, perhaps, for the Bond-proof glass that lets bullets through without breaking.

Oh, so that's where all the cat-petting-world-overtaking jokes come from.

To be fair the same could be said of 007. I think I recall reading somewhere that the Bond novels were essentially a power fantasy of the clerkish and rather incompetent spy Fleming was.

Ah, now we're actually getting into the 007 movies I remember seeing, if only for how ridiculously stupid the bad guy's endgame plan was. It did have a cool car chase, though; game's guaranteed to gently caress that up - the whole ice palace level would lend itself really nicely to a Hitman-ish blend and explore stealth experience but no, we got an FPS stealth section.

edit: Let's face it, the best Bond game is now and forever No One Lives Forever. I'm just reminded of it with the whole "why would anyone be a mook for a villain" chat; IIRC it had a few explanations for that one.
