Annual Bond confirmed, but Treyarch won't be doing next year's

360 News from N4G | Quantum of Solace

360 - Quantum of Solace - Annual Bond confirmed, but Treyarch won't be doing next year's

Talking to D+PAD, Quantum of Solace's lead designer Adam Gascoigne has confirmed that we will be seeing a new James Bond game every year, but Treyarch won't be developing the next one.

Asked whether the rumour that Bond is to turn into an annual franchise was true, Gascoigne replied:

"Yeah I read that one too. There is more Bond to come - I know Activision said that they were going to do a yearly Bond title - but I know that Treyarch won't be doing next year's because we don't believe in just banging out a licensed game every year."

"From Treyarch's point of view we wouldn't be able to make a game with the quality we want in one year - we've done that before and it was too much! We did it with Call of Duty 3 and it was hard, hard work. If we were to work on another Bond it wouldn't be until 2010, but we don't know for sure yet. I know that we're ready and we're Bond fanatics and we really believe in the gameplay - I think that has places to go - so I hope we get it."

360 - Quantum of Solace - Treyarch: We're already thinking about next Bond game

Treyarch is already thinking about a follow up to upcoming Bond title Quantum of Solace, the developer has revealed.

Speaking to VideoGamer.com, Treyarch's Adam Gascoine, the co-design director on Quantum of Solace, said that the team wants to do another Bond game because it "has a lot more to say" and wants the jump to be similar to the one gamers saw with Halo to Halo 2, and Call of Duty to Call of Duty 2.

He said: "I do know that our team wants to work on the next Bond. Because we feel we have a lot more to say. The first game in a franchise is never the greatest game ever made. We've got a really good game and we're really proud of it but we want to build. We want to go like Call of Duty 1 to Call of Duty 2, Halo 1 to Halo 2. We want to make sure that gamers can play this and say all right this is the start of a dynasty. This is going to get better and better and better."
