From G4: "Turns out that the rumors were true! Barack Obama and Sarah Palin are indeed coming to Mercenaries 2: World in Flames as playable characters in an upcoming update.

X-Play landed the exclusive story and snagged some extra footage for us. We just had to set it to Hail to the Chief.

Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb revealed the news just moments ago on X-Play in the Gaming Update.

Tom Stratton of Pandemic Studios gave the following statement to X-Play:

"Mercenaries 2 is a game seemingly ripped straight out of today's headlines and fueled with the same type of over-the-top action found in the best summer blockbuster films. It only makes sense we inject the game with a spin on current affairs. The timing was too good to let pass."

The first round of content is called "Total Payback" and includes a cheat that unlocks all the weapons, vehicles and airstrikes, and another one for infinite health and ammo.

The Total Payback pack also includes cross-region co-op, allowing you to play the game with people from all over the world, and six new playable characters. There's one called Blanco, and one called Fiona, and Ewan and Eva. The other two names are secret, for some reason. Perhaps they're rude."

At 1.4 GB is downloading the Mercenaries 2: World in Flames demo worth your time?

PS3 Attitude's Brodiesan writes:

"With a meta-review score of the final product in the mid-70s it's quite apparent that Mercenaries 2 is an accomplished, if not flawed, game but if you're currently on the fence this demo will do little to sway you to the purchasing side. With its immense size and limited playability we'd recommend skipping this one and just pick up the actual game if wanton destruction and mission-based objectives are your bag."

Only two things in the beautiful, open world of Mercenaries 2: World in Flames can’t be reduced to smoldering rubble: a handful of structures essential to the story, and a ton of bugs.

Seems like an obvious answer, right? Of course the PS2 version, made for a console that’s been obsolete for three years, isn’t going to be as good as its current-gen cousins. That doesn’t mean it can’t be a good game on its own, though; after all, it’s ...

PS3 Mercs 2 Home support doubtful - Pandemic 'doesn't know enough about it right now'. (News)

Jun 12, 2008

Videogamer writes: "The PS3 version of upcoming open world blast-em-up Mercenaries 2: World in Flames is unlikely to support Sony's online 3D hub Home.

Speaking to VideoGamer.com at a recent EA Games label event in London, Pandemic's Cory Lewis said the studio was currently focused on online coop and doesn't know enough about Home "to be deep in it".

Home, which is scheduled to release as an open beta this Autumn, has suffered from a number of delays as Sony refines the service. In April Sony announced plans to expand the PlayStation Home Closed Beta test into summer 2008 in order to "refine the service to ensure a more focused gaming entertainment experience than what it is today"."

Speaking to VideoGamer.com at an EA Games label event in London recently, Pandemic's Cory Lewis said that porting it over to Nintendo's motion sensing console "feels wrong".

"I think the Wii would be a tough fit for that product," Lewis told VideoGamer.com. 'Not to say it won't ever happen. But just porting it over to the Wii feels wrong. I know the guys, the senior leaders at Pandemic, like Josh (Resnick) and Greg (Borrud) and Andrew (Goldman), they're very committed to when we come out with a Wii product it's going to be created for the Wii. It's going to really take advantage of what it offers, not just grabbing this and throwing it over there kind of thing.'"

A third game in the popular open world series Mercenaries is "inevitable", developer Pandemic has told VideoGamer.com.

Speaking to VideoGamer.com at an EA Games label event in London recently, Pandemic's Cory Lewis decline to offer any clues as to the third game's setting.

"The guys are honestly right now neck deep in making this one shine and try not to get distracted," he revealed. "I'm sure the director Cameron Brown is already sitting at home on the weekend taking long showers and brainstorming new ideas but nothing that's too distracting at this point. There will definitely be more to talk about soon I'm sure as we start to come up with ideas. We're definitely looking to continue the franchise let's say that. There are no plans obviously but it's an IP that we're really proud of and huge fans of ourselves. We just want to keep being in that universe. It's inevitable."

No Mercenaries 2 for a few months (News)

Jan 24, 2008

Electronic Arts has told Eurogamer that we will see nothing on Mercenaries 2 "within the next few months".

It confirms speculation from retailers and lack of advertising that the title will not make its currently scheduled 8th February release.

No reason for the delay was given, although Pandemic boss Josh Resnick reassured us last year that Mercenaries 2 would not be rushed to meet a release date - after moving it out of the Christmas line-up.

Back then bug-swatting and extra polish were named as the culprits behind the hold-up.

Mercenaries 2 is in development for PS3, 360, PC and PS2.

The sequel, which is in development for Xbox 360, PS3, PS2 and PC, was previously delayed from its Christmas 2007 release date into 2008. Now that it's probably been ...

Jan 7, 2008 Venezuela has a problem with Mercenaries 2: their government is convinced this balls-out-action shooter is pure propaganda for an eventual US invasion. You can see their point: by the end of the game you can expect the virtual version of their country to be charred, broken and burning. So many games promise truly destructible environments, and so few deliver. This third-person action game's mantra is "If you see it, you can buy it, steal it, or blow the living crap out of it."

Electronic Arts has today announced that Mercenaries 2: World in Flames will be launched during 2008, missing a planned '2007' release stated in a E3 2006 fact sheet from developers, Pandemic Studios.

In a statement to TVG, a UK representative at EA confirmed that whilst an exact date hadn't been finalised, "[we] can confirm it will be next year." The Christmas season is already looking congested, so perhaps it was inevitable that even some of the high-profile titles (like Mercs 2) would be pushed back to 2008.

At first glance Mercenaries 2 reminded us of a lot of other games; Just Cause, Crackdown or even (surprise, surprise) Mercs 1. But once we jumped into the carnage on Xbox Live, we discovered it's taken the best elements of the above to create possibly the next great free-roaming co-op game. The Venezuelan environment is a proper (cough, cough) playground of destruction, with choppers, tanks, petrol tankers and more at hand to send entire skyscrapers shaking to the ground, and you can do it all ...

Producer wants to go underwater for Mercenaries 3 (News)

Jul 25, 2007

Mercenaries 2 producer Jonathan Zamkoff reckons that going underwater is the next step for Pandemic's playground of destruction.

So there's going to be a third game, then? "If I have anything to do with it, there will be," Zamkoff told Eurogamer.
"We probably would be looking at underwater gameplay - submarines, scuba tanks and underwater action," Zamkoff said, when asked where the series might go next.

In the meantime, what of plans for a Mercs 2 demo on PlayStation Network and Xbox Live? "It's to be decided right now," says Zamkoff. "We certainly have ambitions to do so, but we've got a pretty tight window."

Mercs 2 has Bono under fire (News)

Mar 23, 2007

Activists call on religious leaders to join petition asking U2 frontman to stop release of Pandemic's sandbox shooter set in Venezuela.

In response to the protest, Pandemic sent GameSpot the following statement from cofounder Josh Resnick:

"While we're flattered that people think Mercenaries 2 is a commentary on the real world, it is just a video game--and as they say in the movies, all characters and events are purely fiction. Our setting provides gamers with the overall look and feel of Venezuela, although it is not an accurate street by street depiction and the characters as well as the storyline are completely made up. More to the point, the characters are categorically not based on any real political figures in Venezuela or elsewhere."

The statement continues: "It's common practice in the entertainment business, both movies and video games, to set fictional storylines in real places. This isn't any different than setting a movie like Goodfellas in New York. And while we certainly hope Mercenaries raises the adrenaline flow, anyone wanting to experience or learn more about the real world, we recommend a good history book."

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames is scheduled for release later this year on the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, and PC.
