First 007: Quantum of Solace intel declassified

by Randy Nelson { Jun 3rd 2008 at 7:55PM }

CVG's sister publication, GamesMaster, got its hand (the other was holding a martini) on the latest Bond game, James Bond 007: Quantum of Solace. Previously confirmed to run on Infinity Ward's slick Call of Duty 4 engine, it is said to combine scenes and settings from the upcoming (22nd!) Bond flick as well as the previous film in the franchise, Casino Royale. (GamesMaster confirms that one of them is the latter's thrilling "free running" opening sequence.)

Gameplay is set to be a mix of first- and third-person action that sounds a lot like Rainbow Six Vegas. The camera reportedly pulls out for a view of Bond when he sticks to cover, climbs ladders, climbs along ledges, and in other "cinematic" situations, such as stealthy button-timing based takedowns ... or, dare we suggest, for "interacting" with the Bond girls?

CoD4 engine or not, it's a movie licenced game, so it won't get me excited. There are so few that break the mould of 'poorly-made cash in' that it's not wirth thinking about them unless they get exceptionally good reviews eg Chronicles of Riddick.

The thing that worries me is that it's Treyarch developed and I didn't find Call of Duty 3 to be all that great.

Casino Royale was one of the best Bonds ever, I think Daniel Craig makes an excellent Bond. I'm totally with you on that, I just don't expect much from the game. It will be full of meh.

The names Kong, Jhongerkong.

With that out of the way, the fps action in Nightfire and the 3rdps action in Everything or Nothing seem like a good mix.

Rob i dont know how many of the bond games you have played, but they are all movie licsensed games, and must i remind you that Goldeneye 007 was also one of these games. The only bond game that has ever sucked was the one on playstion Tomorrow Never Dies or whatever the hell that pos game was called.
