Looks like I'm the only one who's disappointed!
This all seems awfully flat and generic. Flashes of in-game violence have a different, lesser impact to movie violence - better to show what makes this unique. (Usual weapons, targeting system, 'big' events...seen it all before.) Only, there doesn't seem to be anything that does.
It's awfully concerning that the footage coming out feels so incomplete and underdone - the CR sequences at least should have allowed a good head-start on development. Makes me wonder just what shape it'll all be in with only three months to go.
There's a cliched, low-rent version of the Bond theme, and nothing graphically or in terms of interaction that puts this anywhere near the top-drawer. The comparison to Agent Under Fire seems worryingly apt - the films have evolved into something more complex, atmospheric and intellectual, and while the games could have done (Bioshock anyone?), all evidence suggests the contrary.
The gameplay clip on GameTrailers DOES show a little more promise, but it's generally the same old stuff (shoot explosive, knock hole in wall). I honestly think we're looking at review scores of the 75% and 7/10 variety.
Still, I hope to be proved wrong. I'd LOVE to be proved wrong.
Official Quantum of Solace game trailer released!

Yes, Daniel Craig is going to be doing VO for our game. We'll have more details later, we're just starting to reveal details about the gameSo is Craig confirmed to be doing voice work for this game? It seems odd that they have Judi Dench speaking, but nothing from Bond.
.For more info, go to www.007thevideogame.com, and be sure to keep an eye out for additional details in the coming weeks and months!

Are there any other cast members doing voice work for the game? And are you planning to release demo? And more important - when?

This gameplay footage only further adds to my excitement for the game.
I really like the look of the mix between the 1st and 3rd person POVs, especially having never played any games before that have this approach.
I hope we do get a playable demo at some point. Not one of those horrible timed ones either (ala Iron Man demo on PS3).
