Game Informer's QoS Preview

We've got another Quantum of Solace preview, but this one from Game Informer is a little trigger-happy with its title. It headlines the preview with the tease "Can there be a better Bond than Goldeneye?" Oh yeah, they asked it. The Wussies Game Informer pawns off the answer on QoS developer Treyarch though. They have the same preview images that IGN 360 had.

The results are apparent in the gameplay. Confrontations come in the form of stealthy take-downs, one-on-one shootouts and massive multi-room battles. In our short demo at Treyarch’s studio, we watched Bond use stealth to avoid detection, use his physical prowess to eliminate enemies, and engage wave after wave of opponents while maintaining his cool. Each sequence was drastically different. However, one thing unified them – nonstop action.

Quantum of Solace surveys exotic locations and diverse terrain, with all the stylistic influences we have come to expect in a Bond property. The graphics, interiors and AI in Quantum of Solace are as refined as Bond’s façade. Bond also boasts online play – which will allow gamers to battle friends online in a variety of gameplay modes. So while it is still early, things are looking bright for Bond. Who knows, a complete franchise reboot may be just what the doctor ordered.

This one is coming out for virtually every platform, including the Wii, DS, and sadly, the PS2. You might recall Treyarch mentioned that WaW would be better than CoD3 because there was no PS2 version, and the Wii team was just focusing on Wii. It seems that little quality control morsel might not apply to QoS.

Catch the gallery after the break if you haven't already seen it.
