Why Robin Makes Batman Better Daniel “New James Bond” Craig and Judi Dench are among the talent signed on to lend their voices to Activision’s upcoming James Bond game, Quantum of Solace.
Other voice talent coming to the game from the film franchise includes Mathieu Amalric as villain Dominic Greene, Eva Green as Vesper Lynd, Mads Mikkelsen as Le Chiffre and Ukrainian actress Olga Kurylenko as Camille, 007′s leading lady. The upcoming game will be based on both the “Quantum of Solace” and “Casino Royale” feature films, and will allow gamers to “become a more lethal, gritty and cunningly efficient Bond”.
“Quantum of Solace represents a new era for James Bond video games, allowing players to step into the role of Daniel Craig’s 007 agent as embodied in ‘Casino Royale’ and the upcoming Bond film,’” said Mark Lamia, Studio Head for Treyarch. “With the tremendous support we’ve received from the film studio and unprecedented access to the key talent from the movie, we are thrilled to be able to deliver a true, more exciting Bond universe to gamers and fans who have waited years for this game.”
Full release after the jump.
Bond game Quantum of Solace stars movie Bond Daniel Craig. The Bourne game does not star Matt Damon. It stars some dude. Quantum of Solace dev Garrett Young chimes in about his thoughts about that:
The Bourne movies I think are really good. I think a lot of people maybe thought they were maybe better than the Bond movies until Casino Royale. The Bourne game… we did download the demo, we did look at it, like we do anything that’s new and coming out. Turok we played and other things that are new, we played GTA although that’s not really in our space.
But… yeah… not super impressed with the game. No offence to those guys at all. We’re actually now partners. They’re kind of merged in with Activision, so now they’re in San Diego. I haven’t met them yet. I don’t know anything about them at all. I hope their game does well. It’s always tough though when you make a game and you don’t have the lead character from the movie.
Yep, yep. The suspension of disbelief is obviously harder. If you’re making a Bourne game, you need fucking Matt Damon.

James Bond may have taken a digital breather on Casino Royale, but Daniel Craig fans will finally get to play as the super buff super spy in Treyarch’s Quantum of Solace. Oh, sure, the name is horrid, but the gameplay could be a silky smooth experience, given that Quantum of Solace is built on the Call of Duty 4 engine. That means there will be plenty of shooting, but Treyarch’s take on Bond adds some variety with stealth gameplay and “quick time events”. Damn it, Shenmue. I’ll never forgive you for these.
