I remember growing up with the Wii version of this game so when I went out shopping, I saw the PS2 version and bought it for $2.00 so I could relive that good old nostalgia. I had no idea that the PS2 was a third person shooter and so I was in for quite a suprise when bond spawned in third person

And who knows, if it didn't flop and maybe came out a year earlier, so at the same time as the 1st uncharted, we might have ourselves a new Bond video game offspring every second year.

I had it on gamecube and it rocked my world. I haven't played it in like 12 years. Your silky smooth voice plus that game would be amazing.

A very insightful analysis of the Quantum of Solace games. Having two development teams (sort of) sharing assets does create two nice but different games.

@idonteatcheetos 4 года назад

Gaming Exhibit I liked that there was 2 different versions of the same game. I would like to see modern game developers do something like that so each version would play to the individual consoles strengths, but no everything has to be the same because of Fear of Missing Out. The N64 and Ps1 were so different, you can tell just by playing the cross platform games and you can see loads of little and big differences, us gamers dont really have that anymore and I miss it.

I always wondered if an Uncharted-like game could really be doable on the system PS2. Uncharted's movement and exploration style was actually done quite faithfully on PS2 before Uncharted released via Tomb Raider: Anniversary (summer 2007 release). Clearly the shooting element was emulated by this game. Only thing this really needed was better actual mechanics. Quite a fantastic looking PS2 game, especially with the bells and whistles of emulation working in it's favor.
