EA's Army of Two

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the change-of-pace dept.

EA today confirmed the existence of a much-anticipated next-gen title, Army of Two. From the Eurogamer article: "Army of Two 'will throw gamers into hot spots ripped from current day headlines,' says EA, where they will use two-man strategies and tactics, transitioning between playing with an AI partner or a live player. We're told that EA's wanted to make this for ages, but until now it's felt that the hardware couldn't deliver a suitably believable co-operative AI player."

    There are only a hanful of recent games that impliment a well-made co-op mode. For the past 3 years this has been a feature that everyone has been clamoring for, so it's nice to hear that a mega-studio will emphasize this to such a degree. I can only hope that other games will put in this type of option.

    I hope it allows split screen offline co-op and not just online multiplayer.

      Try contra, or ikari warriors, it's been around a LOT longer than 7 years.
