Thorton's adventures are in the vein of such renowned badasses as James Bond, Jack Bauer, and Jason Bourne.

None of them stand a chance to the almighty Sean Connery.

I totally want to shock people with electrical wire, jab eyes with pencils and shoot people in the leg... just because. So I'm voting Bauer. :thumbsup:

 

Even better, Obsidian should hire Sean Conner, Matt Damon & Kiefer Sutherland to do three choosable voices for the PC. That would make everyone happy! :thumbsup:

 

... and blow the entire budget on voice actors. :lol:

Sounds like story-wise, it's going Bourne.

 

Besides, I like the odds associated with Bourne movies. 24 would make a terrible RPG, raising ridiculous stakes to ever more ridiculous heights until the plot is completely useless. And Bond is outdated.

I have never seen 24, so can't comment on Mr. Bauer.

 

Between Bond and Bourne, Bourne definitely, but the Bourne of the first movie please - no killing off the romanctic interest simply because the writers can't handle grown-up stories.

I really like the Bourne movies (yes, even the second one, despite them killing off Franka Potente in it) so I'm hoping for a touch of Bourne in this one. An every day guy who has skills above the ordinary.

Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

This guy is clearly too extreme for any of those bozos.

What is it with the initials JB and action?! I noted in the poll the fact that all 3 names had J but didnt think about the last names! JB! All 3 of them! Aaaack! :aiee:

No, I mean outdated. Even the Broccolis implicitly acknowledged this by retooling the franchise in a way that, like it or not, was heavily indebted to the fantasy-averse Bourne franchise. When I say "Bond" I mean "invisible cars, suitcase helipacks, laser watches, volcano hideouts and martinis". All of that, while still retaining some charm, is outdated, and would ill fit into a halfway-serious real world RPG.

Considering I find the Bourne movies boring and can hardly bring myself to sit through them I'd say James Bond.

You're referring the 80's Bourne Identity mini-series starring Richard Chamberlain and Jaqueline Smith right?

They do genetic profiling at birth, and only those predestined for greatness are allowed a name that would result in the initials JB. It's true!

More Bourne for me, please! :thumbsup: Not that I have anything against the other two but they can get cheesy sometimes.

James Bond of the novels, since he has not really been portrayed yet.

 

Hopefully the game will include some good torture sequences. :thumbsup:

Bond is all style and not enough realism, that was just great for the 70s and 80s, not so much anymore.

 

Bourne, well the new one, not the one starring Richard Chamberlain was excellent, although the whole brainwashing thing got kinda old, not much material there for serializing unless you start off in another direction.

 

Bauer was great for a TV show but it's great weakness is the plot which is usually everywhere and nowhere at once, that just gets to be really annoying after a while.

 

For secret agent type I hope they find something more original and less generic.
