00:00What he did in Iceland...
00:15What he did was ill-disciplined, utterly reckless.
00:20Any one good reason to put him in the program, Mom?
00:24I think you just covered them all.
00:27It's really quite simple.
00:30One is a bullet without a target.
00:34Let's give him one.
00:46Hi, I'm Herken Abrak, Game Director on 007 First Light.
00:51I know everyone has been waiting patiently to finally see our game.
00:55And that's exactly why we're here today.
00:57So without further ado, and on behalf of our talented team,
01:01I'm incredibly proud to introduce an extended playthrough
01:04of Bond's first mission as a recruit.
01:07Please enjoy our gameplay premiere of 007 First Light.
01:11This is a black tag operation.
01:15So discretion, ladies and gentlemen, is critical.
01:20No, I could get used to this.
01:27Don't act too impressed, dearest, or you'll blow our cover.
01:30And James, do quit your pouting.
01:32I'm a glorified hood ornament.
01:33What could I possibly have to pout about?
01:34Sorry if the assignment doesn't live up to your grand expectations.
01:35Someone must watch the perimeter.
01:36If 009 slips through our fingers, you're the last line of defense.
01:37Exhilarating.
01:38Greenway's testing your mate.
01:39Asshole.
01:40Don't give him an excuse.
01:41The cap looks good on you, though.
01:42Really brings out your cheekbones.
01:43I'm a little bit too impressed.
01:44I'm not too impressed, dearest, or you'll blow our cover.
01:45And James, do quit your pouting.
01:46I'm a glorified hood ornament.
01:47I'm a glorified hood ornament.
01:48What could I possibly have to pout about?
01:50Sorry if the assignment doesn't live up to your grand expectations.
01:54Someone must watch the perimeter.
01:56If 009 slips through our fingers, you're the last line of defense.
01:59Exhilarating.
02:00Greenway's testing your mate.
02:02Asshole.
02:03Don't give him an excuse.
02:05The cap looks good on you, though.
02:07Really brings out your cheekbones.
02:16Take a left up ahead, James.
02:18Backseat driver.
02:19What's that, darling?
02:20Just a frog in my throat.
02:33Hold.
02:34Is everything in order?
02:47Routine inspection, ma'am.
02:48Won't be a moment.
02:50All clear.
02:52Please proceed.
03:03You think if I sold a kidney, I could afford to stay for a night?
03:09I think I have.
03:11Stayed here, I mean.
03:13A wedding back in 22.
03:15Doesn't sound like something you'd forget.
03:17Well, the hen was in Cannes, so we flew in by private jet.
03:20It was dark and we've been drinking, so...
03:22Oh, well.
03:23Cannes.
03:24At least Sheila will be happy.
03:25Private jet.
03:26What?
03:27Nothing.
03:28Darling, nothing at all.
03:33What do you make of 009?
03:35He was the best in his day.
03:37That was a long time ago.
03:38My guess is he's tired of running.
03:41Greenway thinks we're being played.
03:43And since when do you trust Greenway?
03:46I never said I did.
03:47They knew each other, though.
03:49That much is clear.
03:50Something to do with an operation called Nightfall.
03:53That begs the question,
03:55did 009 pit Greenway out of good faith,
03:58or bad blood?
03:59Well, we're about to find out.
04:02Pull up.
04:03This is our stop.
04:04We're alive, gentlemen.
04:05Switch to comms.
04:06In row, with me.
04:07James.
04:08Stay.
04:09Save the world some other time, yeah?
04:10No.
04:11No.
04:12No.
04:13No.
04:14No.
04:15No.
04:16No.
04:17No.
04:18No.
04:19No.
04:20No.
04:21No.
04:22No.
04:23No.
04:24No.
04:25No.
04:26No.
04:27No.
04:28No.
04:29No.
04:30No.
04:31No.
04:32No.
04:33No.
04:34No.
04:35No.
04:36No.
04:37No.
04:38No.
04:39No.
04:40No.
04:41No.
04:42No.
04:43No.
04:44No.
04:45No.
04:46No.
04:47No.
04:48No.
04:49No.
04:50No.
04:51No.
04:52No.
04:53No.
04:54No.
04:55We're entering the premises. Team status?
04:58Nash. Delivery area. In position.
05:01Sink. Staff quarters.
05:03Ronson. Conference wing.
05:05Kingsley. First floor suites.
05:08Bond.
05:09Bond.
05:12Parking lot. In position.
05:15Greenway. Grand Hall. Switching off comms as instructed.
05:18Keep a low profile and don't let your guards down.
05:21009 most certainly won't.
05:23Out.
05:25Out.
05:55Not exactly the five-star treatment.
06:25No harm in stretching my legs.
06:30Bond, reporting suspicious behavior.
06:32009?
06:33No.
06:34One of the hotel staff.
06:35Strangest-looking bellhop I ever saw.
06:37He was...
06:38mishandling luggage.
06:40Are you joking?
06:41What are we, the local tourist board?
06:43I guess he had to be there.
06:44It was odd.
06:45I'm gonna check it out.
06:46You will not.
06:48009 is our only priority.
06:50Stay at your post, James.
06:52That's an order.
06:53Yes, ma'am.
06:55They had poor taste if you asked me, and got what they deserved.
07:05Pardon me?
07:06Need to see a man about a bag.
07:09Missed him.
07:11Afternoon, sir.
07:13Staff and press only.
07:14Oh, damn.
07:15Forgot my press badge.
07:16You're not the first.
07:18Can I duck through?
07:20I need to catch up with that bellhop.
07:22Show me your ID and all is good.
07:24Better go and get my ID then.
07:26If you want to catch your bellhop.
07:27Fair point.
07:28I'm gonna switch.
07:30We're sorry.
07:31We're not.
07:32We're not.
07:46We're not.
07:47There's something so much.
07:49We can see a man on the ground.
07:51We can see a unserem's.
08:23Do you think I could get Gretchen Wong's autograph on my daughter after the game?
08:28She dreams of going broke.
08:31I think.
08:53What's that?
08:54I don't know.
09:24What the?
09:25God.
09:25Sorry.
09:27Oh, my.
09:28I don't know.
09:30I don't know.
09:31I don't know.
09:35I don't know.
09:37I don't know.
09:39I don't know.
09:40I don't know.
09:42I don't know.
09:45I don't know.
09:46I don't know.
09:54I don't know.
09:55I don't know.
09:56I don't know.
09:57I don't know.
09:59I don't know.
10:00I don't know.
10:01I don't know.
10:03I don't know.
10:05I don't know.
10:06I don't know.
10:07I don't know.
10:08I don't know.
10:09I don't know.
10:10I don't know.
10:12I don't know.
10:14I don't know.
10:15I don't know.
10:16Yeah, I crashed it long ago.
10:19I don't know how far it is now.
10:20I mean, right.
10:22Did you open it?
10:23Yeah, please.
10:25You know what I mean.
10:26I meant you to huddle on the cliff.
10:30Besides, I couldn't find a lucky thing.
10:33Gate crashing a black tie event?
10:35Haven't done that since final year.
10:39I'm not really white.
10:41No, but I'm not...
10:43What?
10:44Ken Banks, penetration tester.
10:46I need to have a stern word with your manager.
10:48Good to have you on the team.
10:52Okay.
10:53Let me stop you later.
10:54I have bets to make you.
10:56This guy better be worth it.
11:10Don't mind me, ladies.
11:11Good afternoon, sir.
11:14Which room is here?
11:15I don't know.
11:17But he's getting an extra mint on his pillow.
11:20That's for sure.
11:21No, I don't know.
11:23Now, let's see what all the fuss is about.
11:37There's Greenway.
11:49Hopefully I'm the last thing on his mind.
11:51What are you here for?
11:57I'm going to get back up there.
12:09I'm going to get back up there.
12:12I literally have no idea what you just said.
12:16Kingsley alert.
12:17Let's not get spotted just yet.
12:19Need to build a case first.
12:20Bond.
12:34Bond.
12:34Status.
12:35All is quiet in the parking lot.
12:36No sign of 009.
12:38Over.
12:38How do you do?
12:46Where have I seen him before?
12:47I think he models for Alexander Dithian.
12:50Oh, right.
12:52Now, where do you go?
12:54Is it your own concoction?
13:02I can't take credit, I'm afraid.
13:04The hotel owner has a huge collection of mixology books from the 20s.
13:08Book collector, huh?
13:09Now there is his pride and joy.
13:12He's got all sorts of antique books on display.
13:14About the castle and local history.
13:16I wonder if you could help me.
13:17I'll certainly try, sir.
13:19Did you notice the blonde bellhop who just passed through here?
13:22There's a fated Picard in the lineup.
13:25Probably one of the pimps.
13:26He was asking for the directions to the backstage earlier.
13:29A chess fiend.
13:30I knew it.
13:32I'd stay clear of him.
13:34Just need a quiet word.
13:36Nothing dramatic.
13:52Looking for these?
14:02Hold on.
14:08Just who the hell are you?
14:10Not now.
14:11Eyes on the road.
14:16Look out.
14:16That's the car.
14:25It's got too much of a head start.
14:27You need to cut some corners.
14:29Careful what you wish for.
14:29Ambulances, watch it.
14:47Ambulances, watch it.
14:55Ambulances, watch it.
14:57Look out.
15:07Look out.
15:09Buckle up.
15:22She...
15:22You're right!
15:33Left, go left!
15:52Brace!
15:59There he is.
16:22Clear the road!
16:28Hold tight.
16:31Now we're talking.
16:38Right, who are you really?
16:53Asian Charlotte Ross.
16:54I'm with the DGSE.
16:55That's...
16:56French Intelligence.
16:57James Bond, MI6.
16:58Yes, I figured as much.
16:59What's your interest in 009?
17:00Beckett didn't spend his fugitive years on a golf course.
17:01That's what you think.
17:02DGSE has been hunting here for a long time.
17:03This is the closest we've ever gotten.
17:04And I'm not letting him slip through my fingers now.
17:05Sounds like we have a conflict of interest.
17:06How about we burn that bridge when we get to it?
17:07Fine by me.
17:08I'm fine by me.
17:09I'm fine by me.
17:10I'm fine by me.
17:11I'm fine by me.
17:12I'm fine by me.
17:13Anyway, who are you really?
17:14Who are you really?
17:15Asian Charlotte Ross.
17:16I'm with the DGSE.
17:17That's...
17:18French Intelligence.
17:19James Bond, MI6.
17:20Yes, I figured as much.
17:21What's your interest in 009?
17:22Beckett didn't spend his fugitive years on a golf course.
17:23That's what you think.
17:24DGSE has been hunting here for a long time.
17:25This is the closest we've ever gotten.
17:26Now.
17:27Sounds like we have a conflict of interest.
17:28How about we burn that bridge when we get to it?
17:30Fine by me.
17:40There.
17:41Pull over.
17:46No sign of 009.
17:49Plenty of his friends though.
17:51I'm not loving the odds.
17:52I've had worse.
17:53Or in that case.
17:56Get down there.
17:57Draw their fire.
17:58I'll flank them.
17:59We need to keep that plane on the ground.
18:00Well, what are we waiting for?
18:01There's that English sans-froid.
18:02Good chance, James.
18:03Turn off.
18:04Good chance, James.
18:09There's that English sans-froid.
18:11Good chance, James.
18:33Looks like I've got a plane to catch.
18:39Great! Grab the lift-off, now!
18:49You were born.
19:09They told me you needed a hand.
19:15No!
19:17I can't stay here.
19:19The plane's leaving.
19:21They told me you needed a hand.
19:23No!
19:25I can't stay here.
19:27The plane's leaving.
19:29Right behind you.
19:31I can't stay here.
19:33The plane's leaving.
19:39Right behind you!
19:41Right behind you!
19:43I can't stay here.
19:45See you later, Devon!
19:46See you later.
19:47No!
19:48I'm gonna do this!
19:49Love you later!
19:50See you later!
19:51I found you!
19:52You got me there!
19:53I found him.
19:54You got me there!
19:55Come in there!
19:56You got me there!
19:58Move!
19:59No!
20:00Do I know what you need?
20:01Good for me, Max.
20:02I'm gonna get you down.
20:03Get down!
20:04No one ever, move!
20:10He's reloading!
20:28Push him out!
20:34I'm on it!
20:38I think he's got it!
20:40He's reloading!
20:42He's dead!
20:45He's dead!
20:46He's dead!
20:47He's dead!
20:49He's dead!
20:50Surrounded!
20:52Fuck the weapon!
20:57I'm bleeding!
20:59I need you!
21:01He's dead!
21:02He's dead!
21:07I need you!
21:08The hose!
21:09Grab the hose!
21:11Oh no, you got it!
21:12It's not without me!
21:15Oh, no, you don't!
21:27Don't without me!
21:45What about winning it?
22:15Okay, 009, you're next.
22:27Package secure.
22:29Snug in the front.
22:30Did you kill the transponder?
22:32No such thing, all the small radio stations are 23 minutes out.
22:36The Lord's track was.
22:38That near David disappeared.
22:40I'm back with a plan here.
22:45The plane's flying dark.
22:53It's all up to me.
22:54Think.
22:55Need a way to force it down.
22:58If I could access the flight control system.
23:03Let's make some turbulence.
23:15Never a dull moment.
23:28Ready to go.
23:29Get out of here.
23:43.
23:47Let's go.
24:17Let's go.
24:47Hey, I'm Patrick Gibson, and I'm honored to announce that I'm playing James Bond in IO Interactive's much-anticipated game 007 First Light.
25:13It's thrilling to be bringing this character to life in the gaming world, and I'm joined by an incredibly talented cast, including Lenny James as Bond's mentor Greenway, Prianga Burford as M, Alistair McKenzie as Q, Keira Lester as Bond's most fervent supporter Moneypenny, and Noemi Nakai as the enigmatic Mizraat.
25:34Bond's world is all about what's seen and what's hidden beneath the surface.
25:39You've just watched an extended mission playthrough. No commentary, just a raw experience.
25:44We hope you liked it just as much as we loved crafting it for you.
25:50But there's more than what meets the eye.
25:53In this next section, we'll guide you through how it all works.
25:57The tools, systems, and choices that shape the gameplay in 007 First Light.
26:04Let's take a closer look.
26:06Welcome to the world of James Bond in 007 First Light, where infiltration and espionage are just two of many spycraft skills.
26:16In this mission, our unseasoned but highly trained Bond must track an assassin through a sophisticated Kensington Gala.
26:23You'll want to blend in with the crowd while scouting for tactical options.
26:30Creating a mental map of available pathways without giving yourself away.
26:35Sorry, I'm trying to get past you.
26:36Go to the security room. It's first floor, East Wing. Staff officers.
26:40Got it.
26:41Bond must gain access to the upper floors, but some areas are off-limits, even for those with a stolen ticket.
26:51Sorry, sir. Can't let you through.
26:53Just looking for the bathroom.
26:55Other side of the bar.
26:56Dialogue from other characters can offer clues to the mission's progression.
27:00Listening in on conversations is a useful intelligence tactic,
27:04potentially revealing opportunities for an easy breach.
27:08If he doesn't make an appearance in the next 10 minutes, he can watch from down here.
27:14Yeah, do that.
27:16Rob Minkley, Crux Magazine.
27:21And you are?
27:22Rob Minkley, sorry for the way.
27:28About time, Mr. Minkley.
27:30We almost gave up on you.
27:32Right then, go grab your camera, and I'll take you past security.
27:38Photography can be such a negative experience.
27:42First Light provides multiple pathways for achieving Bond's objective.
27:47If he's prepared to get creative.
27:51If he's prepared to get creative.
27:55What?
27:57What?
28:15All set.
28:16Follow me.
28:18The balcony should give you an excellent view of the stage.
28:21Sorry, miss, but this man can't go upstairs.
28:24Relax, fellas. He's with me.
28:27You say so.
28:30I read your articles in Trucks magazine on rogue AI and cognitive warfare.
28:35Hopefully this is a good time to drop in.
28:37You won't always receive the red carpet treatment.
28:40So sometimes you might have to take the initiative.
28:43In these highly volatile stealth situations,
28:46it pays to choose caution over direct confrontation,
28:49as everyone can be a valuable source of information.
28:53Saunders.
28:54I'll be needing that key card.
28:56Watch it.
28:57What?
28:58Damn it.
28:59That needs a look.
29:02Moments when Bond remains undetected offer the chance to survey hostile areas.
29:12North exit. That's my way out.
29:15Bond can use the environment to his advantage by choosing from multiple routes,
29:21exploiting opponents' positions or security vulnerabilities.
29:25Christmas gifts are just clogged up our cabinet.
29:27Depending on the situation and the odds,
29:31Bond can always go with a quick and blunt strategy.
29:34No, there is he.
29:46Could have played that a little smoother, James.
29:50He got away with it this time, but they could have called reinforcements.
29:54Alternatively, Bond can opt for a more elegant style,
29:58using the scan from his watch to highlight options for distraction and misdirection.
30:03What was that?
