James Bond Using The COD4 Engine

The new James Bond game uses the COD4 engine and this video you can see how they adapt it.

I hate when games use the same engine because they all end up with similar art styles which annoys the crap out of me. Though I'm sympathetic to the fact that it costs a lot of cash to produce these engines.

Either way, game is looking nice at least.

agreed...but this seemed pretty different from CoD 4, at least what the video showed...with some new tech, especially the refractive water, which you can see when bond is standing in the casino pool or whatever...it wasn't the most insane water ever, but it was a whole hell of a lot better than CoD 4's lame water effects...

this isn't a game I am terribly excited about anyway, in which case standard middleware doesn't bother me...but source and UE3 are completely played out for me...left 4 dead looks like a game from 2004...I am sure it will completely kick ass, but I can't help but wonder if that gameplay with a true current gen engine could be unstoppable...

you can say it all you want...graphics < gameplay...but when you already have great gameplay, better graphics never hurt...

Alot of times yes, but not always. I mean looking at Mirror's Edge you would have no idea that is Unreal Engine 3, the same engine that powered Gears of War. Mirror's Edge is so bright and colorful, while Gears of War is dark, dreary, gritty, and shiny.

Because Gears of War, Bioshock, Mass Effect, RB6 all look the same?

I'm not sure if anyone cares about james bond anymore? The CoD engine is a cool edition, but does anyone play on spending their money on a 007 game, when there are alot of other great games coming out?

I loved the last James Bond movie so I am excited about this game. There are a couple of gameplay videos on IGN.com. Heres the link: http://media.ps3.ign.com/me...

The CoD4 engine is probably the best engine out right now. This game is like a cross between CoD4 and Rainbow Six Vegas with a Bond storyline....sounds awesome to me.

I heard this tidbit on xplay about a month ago

Where Have All the Bond Games Gone?

Everyone’s been thinking about James Bond lately, with the franchise’s latest cinematic release tantalisingly close yet pushed back by the pandemic. It serves as a reminder of the wider obstacles faced by this particular franchise—one that can be nimble, competitive, and invigorating—but yet is a behemoth always struggling against the weight of its reputation in a changing creative landscape. The video games inspired by these films are a particular testament to those difficulties, considering their trajectory: an early enormous success in GoldenEye, through weakly received adaptations and original stories, to a near-decade of non-existence.

I paid a few quid for a copy and I enjoyed it.

You should try Blood Stone if you haven't already. It's going for the same price as Quantum but I reckon it's a better game all round.

jontrueno3650d ago

I actually enjoyed the game. The scenery was really good and varied. It wasnt the best shooter ever, but it was certainly worth playing if you like the bond franchise at all. Bloodstone was good to, just different.
