So Quantum of Solace isn't really starting on a level playing field, is it? There's a lot riding on this title, and neither Activision nor Treyarch wants to screw it up. And based on the segment I played through here in Leipzig, it looks like they're managing to avoid the pitfalls that most movie games fall in, creating a really fun and exciting experience that fits great with the Bond franchise.
Despite the title, Quantum of Solace actually follows the events of both Casino Royale and the upcoming Quantum of Solace. The game will start with a few Quantum of Solace levels before flashing back to scenes from Casino Royale, running the gamut from that killer le parkour scene, to a casino hotel shootout."
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 also seems that they have added more casinos to battle in. Quantum Solace pwns the R6V series. I cannot wait for this one. Day 1 purchase along with Resistance 2. Nov 4 couldnt be any sweeter baby!
