3:00PM Brian Ashcraft | Sure, the Quantum of Solace movie is getting a mixed buzz, but that hasn’t dampened our interest in the QoS game. The Activision title runs on a modded Call of Duty 4 engine, which just sounds great. We can already hear the Bond theme in our head. We always here it, you know — especially when we walk around our local shopping mall in sunglasses. More »
Bond Song Coming to Guitar Hero World Tour
3:20AM Brian Crecente | Reading through a press release about the upcoming Best Buy midnight opening launch event for Quantum of Solace, I stumbled upon this interesting tidbit: Additionally, those in line at 10:00 PM will get the exclusive opportunity to be one of the first to play the Bond song “Another Way to Die” performed by Jack White and Alicia Keys which is soon-to-be-released as downloadable content for Activision’s Guitar Hero® World Tour. I kinda like the song. It would be great if they released this as a freebie, but there’s not even a hint of that, so I’ll just hold my breath until they make it so. Annnnnd GO…..

12:56PM Seamus Byrne | If you were unaware, the Quantum Of Solace game includes the storyline from both the latest movie and Casino Royale. The events of the new movie begin very shortly after the last, so the combined storyline should work nicely in the game — and probably offers a better selection of sequences to choose for a well paced action game. That said, we only got to taste two scenes at this stage, both from the Casino Royale side of the coin (to prevent us learning any juicy spoilers). First a Vienna chase sequence and then a stealth scene through Casino Royale.
The Vienna sequence was quite a challenge, starting with an underground chase and then moving onto rooftops with quite a lot of enemies to contend with on route. There was no penalty for taking your time, but enemies were happy to throw grenades should you play too conservatively. One issue I found was with the cover system, which was a little too sticky in a crisis. Hopefully this gets loosened up a little before release.

8:30AM Adam Barenblat | Just as the title says, this latest video from Activision talks about how the developers are translating the environments from the film to the game. Unfortunately, there isn’t much to see here in terms of gameplay, but you do get to see a few new locations that you’ll encounter. You can expect the game out about two weeks before the movie November 4th. More »
