Preview of James Bond: Quantum of Solace

There’s some new information being kicked around by the developers for this one.  A series of screenshots were just released to tease us for the future release of this companion to the Bond movie of the same name.  The graphics look pretty sharp but I’m worried about some descriptions.

I feel a mix of hope and fear towards this new title.  The game has been picked up by developing powerhouse Treyarch and uses the same engine as Call of Duty 4.  I would normally be cheering.  We might finally get a good movie game that isn’t a cheap attempt to ride the coattails of its mother.  Call of Duty 4 was amazing and I’d hope that the effect would carry over.  The first shots of the game seem to be a little disconcerting though.

They do show a lot of the good bits that an action game needs.  It should have a good story as it works off of Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace.  There is a mix of stealth and gunplay wrapped up in a pretty package.  You will move through pretty environments, use cover, etc.  All the standards are there, but it just doesn’t feel right.
