Mercenaries 2 confirmed News
Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 News by Tom Bramwell
Pandemic's confirmed speculation that it's working on a sequel to Mercenaries.
Called Mercenaries 2: World in Flames, it's due to be shown off at E3 in detail. For now, all we really know is that it's set in a different location to the first, PS2 and Xbox title, which saw the player violently picking sides in a struggle for bits of Korea.
"While the original Mercenaries' high-octane, go anywhere, do anything and blow the crap out of everything style was a hit with gamers, the whole experience was screaming to run on next-generation game systems," said Pandemic CEO Andrew Goldman.
"And while we're building on the core mercenary experience we created for the original, we've taken full advantage of next-gen technology to offer a more richly detailed, reactive, living world than gamers have ever seen before."
So presumably it's hopping to PS3 and Xbox 360 then - although we'll have to wait until E3 to find out for sure.
In the meantime, Pandemic's dropping hints on its website.

If they can make the gameplay a bit more diverse and give the player more interaction them I'm sold. I enjoyed the first game but got bored of it quite quickly, so a sequel which solved these problems would be most welcome.
EDIT - also, a co-op mode (online of off) is required too, please. Taking down some enemy bases as a two [or more] player team would be the absolute dog's bollocks.

Brilliant news. Loved the first Mercenaries, hope they can make some good improvements in Mercenaries 2 and it could become a classic. And I'm 100% sure it's somewhere in South America or the Carribean, at first I thought it was Cuba, but now I'm about 90% sure it's Venezuela after seing this pic titled "playground" - http://www.pandemicstudios.com/projectq/everybodypays/index.

Mercs 1 rates as one of my favourite games of all time, it was superb, had so much fun playing it.
I don't think they need to do too much to the engine as it was fine as it was..........but definitely a multi-player option, playing co-op would be awesome.........a versus mode wouldn't be too bad either, running around the map, picking up contracts while other mercs are running around picking up contracts too :) :) |
