Quantum of Solace Developers Talk COD4 Engine

Moving the camera into third person when behind cover is "new technology" now?

that video is way out of synch with the audio

man, i won't be surprised if these guys would use q3 engine on xbox 720 and ps4 too...

You can still see traces of Q3 tech in the engine.

This looks awesome. Calling it now. Best Bond game ever. Better than Goldeneye.

Man I can't stand games that can't decode if they're 1st or 3rd person games. I was watching the video and as soon as I saw that awkward camera pop from 1st to 3rd when he moved against a wall I lost all interest. That and having to go from a 1st person to a 3rd person to watch the same cutscene of Bond kicking some guy in the back 50 times will suck.

It's Bond. People want to see the back of Bond's head apparently. Make it all 3rd person.

That actually looks like it could be a hell of a lot of fun. I hope it will be. After all the shitty Bond games, I'll take CoD4 Bond-style any day.

What the heck is the point with skipping in a video player, if the position marker just jumps back? Why the hell doesn't it start buffering from the actual position I put it ?!?!?

When the hell are developers going to stop making the same game for the PS2 AND the PS3/Xbox 360? So many games with great potential are completely watered down due to the PS2 bottleneck.
I think people with 'next gen' consoles are sick of paying an extra $20 for what amounts to nothing more than PS2 games with prettier graphics. Seriously, what's the point of owning a 'next gen' system if you are forced to play 'last gen' games on it?
Developers need to really tap into the potential of the PS3 and Xbox 360 like they do with the Resistance series and Gears of War. Sure these are exclusives, but they are both games where the devs tried to squeeze as much as possible out of the system.
Think of how sweet The Force Unleashed would be if the devs hadn't been constrained by the PS2's power. Levels would be larger and more varied, visuals would have been better, there would be a larger variety of enemies, and we might have even had a few more force powers and/or the ability to pilot vehicles.

Man they did a good job of modeling Daniel Craig.
