The latest issue of the UK’s GamesMaster magazine has revealed the first details for Activision’s first James Bond 007: Quantum of Solace game. As we previously reported, it’s been confirmed that you’ll play through levels from both Casino Royale and the Quantum of Solace films. Meanwhile, Tiscali showed 007 Quantum of Solace screenshots that use the Call of Duty 4 engine.
The magazine reports that gameplay-wise the core FPS experience is broken up with third-person elements to remind you you’re playing as Bond… James Bond. This happens during action sequences, like climbing ladders, walking along ledges, and God of War-style quick-time events that let you pull off takedowns to dispense enemies quickly and quietly. One quick-time event has you play through the chase at the start of Casino Royale. The cover system is compared to that of Grand Theft Auto IV, where the camera pulls out to an external view so you can see Bond on screen against the wall with his enemies in the background.
The AI of the enemies use flank tactics and can communicate with each other. The game will be released alongside the film on November 7th, 2008. — Via CVG & N4G.
