First of all, it must be noted that Quantum of Solace is running on the Call of Duty 4 engine, meaning the graphics and physics should be top notch. From the screens we have seen, the graphics surely do shine with Bond taking an almost photo realistic likeness to Mr. Daniel Craig himself. Based around not only Quantum of Solace, but Casino Royale as well, since the game for Casino Royale disappeared into the gaming ether. So instead of one, we get two helpings Bond. Expect car chases, gun fights in Venice and much more associated with the films. Word has it that Daniel Craig is acting as quality tester, keeping a close eye on how the game is developed as well as his own likeness in the game. Being a big fan of video games as well as Bond himself, Craig certainly is a perfect candidate for quality assurance
The gameplay looks to be quite interesting. Treyarch have been trying to keep the run and gun aspect of most shooters, whilst still adding a cover mechanism and hand to hand fighting that adds intensity to Bond films. Gears of War managed to keep the run and gun feel, whilst adding cover, so let's hope Treyarch can pull it off.
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.
