Square Enix has made another giant leap in its internationally minded publishing efforts. The company announced today that it will serve as Japanese publisher for Quantum of Solace. This latest James Bond game conversion was published overseas last year by Activision.
Everyone’s been thinking about James Bond lately, with the franchise’s latest cinematic release tantalisingly close yet pushed back by the pandemic. It serves as a reminder of the wider obstacles faced by this particular franchise—one that can be nimble, competitive, and invigorating—but yet is a behemoth always struggling against the weight of its reputation in a changing creative landscape. The video games inspired by these films are a particular testament to those difficulties, considering their trajectory: an early enormous success in GoldenEye, through weakly received adaptations and original stories, to a near-decade of non-existence.
In the 38th episode of GO!, the first person who plays as three different characters in three different video games who have the same first name as an Achievement Hunter becomes this week's victor and gets a sticker to add to their collection.
Continue Play's Shehzaan Abdulla takes a look back at the first major Bond outing for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 - an FPS/TPS hybrid that does justice to neither of the genres it draws inspiration from.
You should try Blood Stone if you haven't already. It's going for the same price as Quantum but I reckon it's a better game all round.
I actually enjoyed the game. The scenery was really good and varied. It wasnt the best shooter ever, but it was certainly worth playing if you like the bond franchise at all. Bloodstone was good to, just different.
Ah,what would Square be without Sony
That is stupid.Seriously
This is bad for SE themselves. If the games which SE published are bad, it'll definitely affect the SE brand.
QoS might actually be a better game than the garbage they've released this gen (might as well include the last 2 years on the Ps2 too). And anyone who played the Bond game knows how ironic/sad that statement is.
I still can't believe how bad the movie was :(
there i was thinking that Casino Royale was onto something just like the batman series and then they release this giant turd.
