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."

  1. "Ripped from modern day headlines" by iriefrank · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If it's really ripped from modern day headlines, that means the game shows up at your door without you wanting it, it has a shaky story about why you have to play it, but you have to play it, and when you're finished playing you have to play again and again. All of this even though everyone knows the reason why you had to play in the first place was based on lies. And to top it all off, by playing, you're making some big companies lots of money.

    KumaWar, anyone? Yeah, real innovative, EA.

    How can a game that was just officially announced be "much anticipated"?
