Gadgets almost turned Bond into a wizard, but the developers abandoned many cool, but unrealistic things. PC Gamer spoke with Tom Marcham, senior combat systems designer at IO Interactive.He said that some of the original ideas for 007’s devices had to be discarded because they literally endowed Bond with “magical powers”: “This is not the world we live in.This is not a cyberpunk game, not the distant future or anything like that.This is modernity.We really wanted to stay in this believable Bond world.Bond has always been a very authentic franchise.It seems that everything (happening in the universe) may well be happening (and in reality), but is a little exaggerated.”True, he did not name specific miracle gadgets as Marcham.Perhaps the studio is saving ideas for its own IP. #game #PC
