MCV has a quote from developer Treyarch saying that their Quantum of Solace game should offer a quantum of solace to James Bond fans disappointed in the quality of recent games starring the super-spy. They lay the blame for the shortcomings of recent Bond games on former license holder Electronic Arts, contradictorily referring to the new game as a chance to make a "first impression":

“We’re not trying to fix anything EA did wrong, because that’s just what they did,” explained Quantum of Solace’s executive producer Garrett Young (pictured). “I’m sure the series pissed off a lot of gamers over the last few years as the games started to go downhill, but we have no control over that.”

“The pressure we feel is more about launching this franchise in the right way. We know that you only have one chance to make a really great first impression, and this is it.”
