Several of us, who are large fans of James Bond, have probably been keeping up with when the next game for James Bond is coming out. Based on the new coming James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace, they will be creating the new game based on that movie, as well as Casino Royale. It is being released on November 7, 2008.
Here is an article that was recently published by IGN, which reveals a bit of information of the game, with their interview with a few people who are creating the game:
| IGN wrote: | In Activision's Q4 / Fiscal 2008 Earnings Conference Call posted earlier today, Activision's President and Chief Executive Officer of Publishing Mike Griffith spoke briefly about what to expect with the company's first game based on the James Bond franchise. Activision will be launching a Quantum of Solace videogame concurrently with the release of the movie, and the company is psyched up to be bringing Bond fans their next encounter with the world's greatest secret agent.
Only a few seconds were dedicated to talking about this new Bond game, but at least one bullet point was a doozy: Activision announced that Quantum of Solace will use the same amazing engine (at least on some platforms) that powered 2007's graphically-astounding Call of Duty 4. According to Griffith, Quantum of Solace, "uses the Call of Duty 4 engine and technology to bring Bond games to a new level." How this will work out for the various versions of the game that did not see the release of Call of Duty 4 (the title is planned for release on just about every system on the planet) is unknown, but for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 fans into Bond, nobody's engine does it better.
Also, although the Call of Duty engine will be used to make the game, COD4 game developer Infinity Ward will not be involved in the design of the game. Instead, Activision lists several developers for the next Bond game, including Treyarch (leading development on the various SKUs as well as producing the game on Xbox 360 and PS3), Vicarious Visions (probably the handheld version developer), and Beenox (previously confirmed as the Wii version developer) and Eurocom (who are assumedly handling the PC version of the game.) Official platform plans have not yet been made official, so stay tuned if your system of choice has been left off the list. |
I wonder how this new James Bond game, with a Call of Duty 4 engine will work out. I’m quite excited for this, as it has been awhile since a James Bond game hasn't been released in awhile. Who knows, maybe it might feature WiFi?
I’m also thinking about sending the company an email, asking for some more information (features, WiFi, etc), and I hope that they reply, but I’m not sure if they will. If you would like to ask a question about the game, feel free to include it here and at the end of the week, I will send the questions via email. |
