After having played Arkham Asylum and Tomb Raider who both hint at larger threats behind the scenes via secrets and Easter eggs it got me thinking if Spectre will be teased at all in First Light or if they will make an appearance at all in the entire trilogy. I know there are a lot of James Bond Easter eggs in the game itself if the previews are anything to go by so a reference to an in universe Spectre organisation would have to be something specific.

Does anyone have a link to a reliable list of release dates and times for the 24 hours early access.

I'm in Australia and have read some different reports on release date and time.

I was just thinking about how the trailer has a night time mission with Bond in the white tux and the fireworks behind him. Got me thinking if a location could be used twice but a day and night variant and with different parts of the map opening up/set pieces evolving.

In some Bond films he will establish himself at a hotel in a particular location and then spend an extended period of time (well extended for a globe trotting agent) meeting contacts, antagonizing the villain, doing surveillance, breaking into secret areas, dodging assassination attempts and of course seducing women.

I think a set of levels like this would be fantastic. Would allow you to grow attached to a location like we do in the films, play out that Bond fantasy of the slow set up and could allow IO to build a more open environment akin to Hitman while still being guided and pushing the players forward..

Imagine Vietnam during the day is Bond in his hotel, meeting a contact by the water for a drink, scoping out a lair on his boat and then at night (level 2) Bond is suited up and in the local casino seducing someone with access to the lair and fighting for his life in a hotel ambush.

What are your thoughts about location reuse for a few missions?

While I'm sure a vehicle developer diary is upcoming I was wondering about what gameplay systems and ideas may not have appeared yet.

1. Obviously we know gadget vehicles are incoming. Like mentioned by someone in another post will those all be chase missions? Will there be some variation. Escaping bad guys? Destruction Derby like scenario? A race?

2. With Vietnam having that scuba diving shot in the trailer will those just be NPCs or will Bond be able to do some scuba diving or swimming in general? Likewise with boating

3. We have undisclosed gadget upgrades and mission challenges

4. Will dialogue options just be for some info gathering or puzzle navigation or will it also be with the main characters? Hoping at least for some branching dialogue with Q and Moneypenny back at the lab.

5. I wonder about al lthe other spy stuff. Tailing suspects, bugging phones etc. Cant wait to see the atmosphere that IO develop about each location.

6. Hoping, like Hitman, we get to play out the classic check in at the hotel and go to your room scene. Love setting up the level like that and orienting yourself before you get to work.
