Feature: "They Understood the Assignment" – The 007 First Light Technology Review
What IO Interactive got right - and wrong - in its best game yet. James Bond enjoyed a long run in gaming, from 1982 to 2012, before nearly vanishing from consoles for over a decade. This year Bond makes his return in 007 First Light, newly interpreted for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC by Hitman developers IO Interactive. With its decades in experience in sandbox game design, it's not surprising that First Light manages to absolutely deliver on that element - but it is more exciting to see IO ably expand their repertoire to deliver a more fully-fledged and cinematic Bond experience too. Visually, IO's approach is notably restrained, with modern rendering features deployed selectively - resulting in an image that stands out for its clarity and stability in a landscape often dominated by noisier Unreal Engine presentations. That focus delivers strong fundamentals, with a rock-solid 60fps across multiple consoles and impressively high image quality. While performance looked rocky during earlier showings, those issues have been thoroughly addressed in the final release, with the level of stability extending to base machines as well as the PS5 Pro. This impressive result is courtesy of IO Interactive's superlative in-house Glacier engine. Fundamentally, First Light's scope is significantly different from a Hitman game, requiring much larger locations to accommodate high-speed driving and more explosive set pieces, while still maintaining granular near field detail. To support this larger scope, the game relies on a new software-based ray-traced global illumination (RTGI) solution, with screen-space elements filling in the granular lighting detail.
