Casino Royale relaunched the James Bond license on the silver screen. Now Activision and Treyarch are hoping to do the same with its upcoming Bond game, Quantum of Solace. With the Call of Duty 4 engine as its backbone, Treyarch is putting together a game that it sees as the launch of a franchise. That engine is a good place to start, but it's only the beginning for 007.
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.
it makes me sad
Tryarch is behind this?Thats a shame.
call of duty 4 looks better then this, what the hell...
Lost interest the moment I saw Treyarch as the developer. Seriously, after Spiderman 3 and their comment about GearBox, I have no respect for them.
...Kutaragi...Sir Ken Kutaragi!!!;-D
PS3...Licence To Thrill!!!;)
I liked GoldenEye(N64!!!See i'm not a FanBoy...much!) ;-D
+ NightFire(PS2, the 4 player spilt-screen deathmatch on that was cool;) Loved the Rocket Launcher which you could guide remotely!!!) ;-P
