Far Cry 3 And The Stranger In A Strange Land We got a chance to go hands-on with EA Montreal’s follow up to the original Army of Two a few weeks prior to E3, a chance to strap on the Kevlar vest again.
Oh, don’t get me wrong. EA Montreal’s Army of Two sequel looks like a blast. It’s very pretty. Textured just the way we like it. It’s just the name — Army of Two: The 40th Day.
After a lovely week and a half of rumour and speculation, EA Montreal pulls back the curtain on Army of Two: The 40th Day, now under development for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PSP.
With EA teasing a sequel to their co-op shooter Army of Two leading up to a potential reveal on March 12th, numerous details about the game are leaking out all over the internets.
EA Montreal is expected to announce the sequel to Army of Two next week, a title that we understand is currently titled Army of Two: The Sequel. In preparation, EA has begun teasing the game.
The developers of Army of Two and SSX On Tour (oh, and Boogie) are ready to announce their next title. What is it? You’ll find out March 12th, according to an invite from Electronic Arts.
When I first saw Skate It during a press event in San Francisco earlier this year I was enamoured. The idea of creating a fun, pick-up-and-play skater that uses the Wii Balance Board as a controller was sublime, I thought at the time. What game, besides maybe snowboarding, is a better fit for a balance board controller than a skating one? Then I got a chance to check it out at another event in Los Angeles. The controls were a bit tricky, but after playing around with them for a bit, I seemed to be getting the hang of it. Skate It quickly became one of my most anticipated Wii games for the holiday season. I needed something to do with that balance board tucked under the sofa and this seemed like the perfect fit.
Another game movie incoming. EA Montreal developer third person shooter Army of Two has been licensed for film to movie studio Universal. EA is attached as the film’s producer, which is a first for the publisher. Scribe Scott Z. Burns (The Bourne Ultimate) will take writing duties, and producer Scott Stuber is also attached. He previously was attached to the Halo flick. Burns talks about the film version:
While EA’s Army of Two has been doing brisk business since it’s release last week, the tale of two military contractors has been raising eyebrows and ire for its subject matter. While some have deemed it to be too ‘pro-American,’ it was developed in EA’s Montreal studio. Alain Tascan, the general manager, said: “In Europe for instance, certain places feel the game is very pro-American. But the thing I want to tell them is, ‘Do you know it’s being done by French Canadians?’” He further went on to address criticism:
The US and Europe will have EA Montreal’s co-op shooter Army of Two by the end of the week. As for Australia? We’ll have to wait until this time next week.
So, if the chance to carry around your gun-toting mate on a forklift piques your interest, or other parts of your anatomy, and you own a Playstation 3 or Xbox 360, then Army of Two is probably worth a look. The PS3 box can be seen above, and the Xbox 360 art awaits after the jump.
