Army of Two delayed News
Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 News by Games Industry.biz
EA's Army of Two, originally planned for a November release, has been delayed until early 2008, GamesIndustry.biz reports.
"Army of Two has potential to become a lasting EA franchise - so getting the first title right is essential," Frank Gibeau, head of EA Games, said in a statement.
The company said it needed time to "polish" the co-op shooter, which is being programmed for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter expected the game to earn approximately USD 54 million in revenue during EA's third quarter.
"It's an important game for them if they hope to establish it as a franchise," Pachter told Reuters.
Army of Two sees players collaborating as a mercenary duo who can combine their abilities to perform various puzzle and combat solving co-op manoeuvres.
Key to the multiplay is a system of "Aggro" - similar to that of MMOs - where one player can draw enemy fire, leaving another to operate with relative impunity.
Read more about all of that on our Army of Two 360 and Army of Two PS3 gamepages, homes to first impressions and an interview with lead designer Chris Ferriera.

Absolutely spot on Symbiote.
Army of Two actually looks quite nice and in a games drought will sell by the bucket loads. But it doesnt stand a chance of getting a look in this season with Assassin Creed, Mass Effect, PGR4, PES 2008, Halo 3, Half-Life 2 etc being top of peoples christmas list. No chance at all. |

The Orange box isn't EA is it? I can't see that giant EA logo slapped on the box anywhere. |

Orange Box is published my EA and the PS3 version is being handled by them.
What I've played of Army of Two was promising but it did need some polish - I'm glad they're keeping it back to improve on it. |

Delayed so you can knock together a PC release? Noooo of course not. I forgot that PC gamers only like DM and capture the motherfucking flag for multiplayer modes.
I've been playing co-op Quake this week. Co-op even made Doom 3 good. Why can't we PC people have co-op games out of the box? Why do we have to rely on mods to give us co-op? |
