Quantum of Solace for US in early Nov

By Robert Purchese Published 23 September, 2008

European retailers stick to late October.

Activision Blizzard has confirmed 4th November as the launch date for its James Bond game, Quantum of Solace, in the US.

There's no word from the publisher on a European date, although retailers Play, Amazon and GAME all tout 31st October as the day of release.

Quantum of Solace is the new James Bond film, in which pouty Daniel Craig will use his swimsuit muscles to dispose of baddies in a gritty and realistic manner.

This will be the first Bond game by Activision since the publisher acquired the licence from EA in 2006. Call of Duty 5 developer Treyarch is behind the adaptation.

We had a look at it recently - head over to our hands-on impressions of James Bond: Quantum of Solace to find out more.

    Yeah I was going to say the same thing, maybe they don't want to spoil the plot or some shit.
    Can't bloody wait for the film, the game, not so much.

    That link is taking me to the UK top 40 page.

    I'm hoping the game will surprise us all.

    Couldn't give a crap about either.

    From what I saw on the videos how they've modified the COD4 engine, I'm kinda looking forward to this. More so than COD5...

    Could be goood... could be so baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad. I'm usually apprehensive about licensed games, particularly movie-based ones so I'm expecting the worst. That way I'm not likely to end up disappointed. :D

    There are, of course, rare (ho ho) exceptions like GoldenEye 64 and the superb The Chronicles of Riddick but these are vastly outnumbered by the mediocre and terrible ones. Years of playing games (since 1983) has taught me to be ever so, ever so cautious about licensed games... although I occasionally do make the odd slip up... Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End being the most recent example.

    I'm not particularly excited about the new Bond movie anyway so I'm even less so about the game...
