Quantum of Solace Video

Quantum of Solace Video
Written Wednesday, July 09, 2008 by Dan Webb

The Bond franchise has been the most unpredictable gaming franchise on the planet, it has supplied some incredible highs in the form of the classic Goldeneye and some weak ass, incredible lows such as Rogue Agent and Nightfire. So when another Bond game comes on to the horizon, although we're hopeful it can reach the epic heights of Goldeneye, we can remain pretty grounded and expect another mediocre shooter.

The new Bond game, of the same name to the upcoming Daniel Craig movie, The Quantum of Solace, in its first gameplay clip shows some promise which we are thankful for but whether it will have a license to kill ... the opposition [Jeez, that was just plain terrible], it remains to be seen.

Oh and a few quick things; yes it is on the Call of Duty 4 engine and yes it is being developed by Treyarch [who I am not a huge fan of, so I'm even more skeptical than usual]. Check out the first gameplay clip and make your own judgment.

James Bond games are probably the only good movie games made, there may be some, just cant think of them

Goldenfire was good.

Agent Under Fire kinda sucked.

Nightfire was awesome.

Some strange third person one I played on the XBox sucked balls.

This one looks pretty sweet so far, but nothing like the others.

It looks like a slightly dumbed-down version of COD4 or Vegas 2. That's not a bad thing. What really grab my attention are those button prompts for hand-to-hand combat sequences. rofl @ throwing clueless guy off of veranda.

It looks ok....I guess...I wish Infinity Ward was working on it...I think it could of been better if they developed it. But I guess we have to wait and see.

" weak ass, incredible lows such as Rogue Agent and Nightfire." Wtf in my view nightfire was the best split screen game of its time :)

Disturbing to know that this won't be exclusively next gen.. but I'm sure treyarch can handle a bond game when they're not in the shadow of CoD greats like the CoD3 fiasco...

Pffffft, Nightfire was terrible lol It's one of the PS2 games I still own because I couldn't sell it... Each to their own I guess :P

CoD4 engine = awesome
Treyarch + CoD4 engine = CoD WaW (could be good)

So this game could be good. The weapons look a bit too large, but everything else seems fine-tuned. Hope the environmental destruction is not just a cheap gimmick.

Why do they always give a great license to a shite developer (treyarch are not rated highly in my books COD3 was awful) then whinge when the game turns out to be bollocks!!!! They should of given it to Infinity Ward. just because its running on the COD4 engine means nothing people have used the unreal 3 engine and produced shite (perfect dark zero anyone!!!) its about the skill of the developer to harness the engine something i dont think treyarch will do, i dont think much of the look of COD WAW either why go back to WW2 looks like another rehash of COD3 (why god why!!!) again move on COD 4 proved that works build on that!!

SP4RT4N360... Perfect Dark Zero was not made on the Unreal 3 Engine..... And this game looks good, I have yet to play a Bond game I didn't enjoy.

looking good, the environmental destruction looks nice too

Comment #33 by OMGmyFACE
Thursday, July 10, 2008 @ 12:45:11 AM

I'm gonna say it's looking great just because this is the debut video. All the tweaks necessary to make everything better are gonna come later into development so for the first glimpse to look this nice is saying something. I'm gonna hope for the best because Bond games have been good to me in the past.

Goldeneye... Good? Who are some of you gamers? Goldeneye was and is still an awesome game! When I'm tired of my Xbox 360 and want to mix things up a bit, I will pop in my Goldeneye 007 cartridge into my Nintendo 64 and fire it up. Still the greatest Bond game of all time if you ask me! All other Bond games since then have been a joke. They've all tried to live up to Goldeneye and failed!

I even recall Stack being my favorite multiplayer level in the game, so great in fact that at the time I was developing levels on my own for Duke Nukem 3D and re-developed the Stack from Goldeneye into Duke Nukem. It made for an interestingly odd experience, but great nonetheless!

I must say... that this game is definitely shaping up to look pretty good so far! I hope it has a solid single and multip

GoldenEye ruled.
Tomorrow Never Dies sucked.
The World is Not Enough was ok.
Agent Under Fire was pretty bad.
Nightfire was very good.
Everything or Nothing was awesome (silly Blackjawx)
From Russia With Love was average, too similar to EoN and nothing like the film.
I hope this will improve, and I think it shall.

Just to clear something up, For everyone that has no faith in Treyarch who have made some amazing breaktroughs in games in the past, that Infinity Ward are making the following COD game, The game title is owned by both creaters now and take it in turns to develop the games, Oh an also Treyarch have borrowed some of Infinity Wards Top Call of Duty 4 Designers to help out with WAW, and another thing why are you al moaning about Treyarch makign te game when you still going to buy it when it comes out anyway, so lets wait till youv played the new call of duty befo writing it off, and good on them for making a new bond game, its about time we had a new one, im a big fan of its predecessors I think that witht he enhanced COD engine it should give the missign elements whitch were missing from Eve

Nightfire was one of my favourite games. It was the first game i loved to play multiplayer on. If QofS is anything like it then i am definately buying it!

This game looks awesome and the best thing is that theres still alot that we don't know about it yet. Like what kind of multiplayer matches types will their be and will they finally be able to do what rare wanted to do with Goldeneye and have past Bonds as playable characters before having to take them out ( please, love to take on daniel craig with roger moore) Also will their be any driving sections as rumoured now that actvivison own bizzare creations. the fact that it's also two films in also is a huge plus as i can't wait to chase the bomber through the construction site. hurry up november.

1. Goldeneye
2. Everything or Nothing
3. TWINE 64
