Summary
A PS5 is now on order for Daniel John after a hands-on look at 007 First Light at its BAFTA world premiere pulled him back toward gaming.
The shift came from the game's first 10 minutes, which he said felt closer to cinema than traditional gameplay, with visuals and performances convincing enough to resemble the cast on stage.
John had largely abandoned gaming after dropping his N64 in 2001 and selling a Nintendo Switch in 2018, saying Mario Kart and Zelda failed to hold his interest.
007 First Light stood out because of his long-running attachment to James Bond and GoldenEye 64, while later Bond titles through 2012's 007 Legends never tempted him back.
The purchase underscores how cinematic presentation and authentic acting in newer games may be broadening their appeal beyond regular players.
