Treyarch’s James Bond 007: Quantum of Solace in motion

Utilizing the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare engine, James Bond returns to gaming in James Bond 007: Quantum of Solace from developer Treyarch. Shown off at Activision’s non-E3 press conference, Quantum of Solace takes place within the story of both Casino Royale and the upcoming Bond film of the same name. Starring new Bond, Daniel Craig, the game is presented in a first-person perspective but uses a cover system that snaps to a third-person view — a la Tom Clancy’s Rainbox Six Vegas style. Surprisingly (because it is based on a license) the game looks fantastic and we can’t wait to see more. James Bond 007: Quantum of Solace hits shelves this November.
