I'm a little nervous about 007 First Light, which—from what I've seen—seems to play everything a bit too safe and linear to really leverage IO's strengths as a studio. When I played First Light, I found myself asking if, perhaps, the Bond license-holders at Amazon were a bit precious about their character. Maybe IO simply couldn't get as whacky with someone else's intellectual property as it can with Agent 47.
But I guess I was wide of the mark, because when I asked 007 First Light franchise art director Rasmus Poulsen about what it was like to work with someone else's license, he said it was actually surprisingly easy to nail down the big stuff, like making 007 a young'un.
