TVGB: "As creative director Alex Hutchinson from EA Montreal takes us through a demo of Army of Two: The 40th Day at the Eurogamer Expo 2009, he explains that the original title sold an impressive 2.6 million copies worldwide, but the vast majority of these sales (70% to be exact) are from America. What does the ex-Maxis dev and the rest of EA blame this on? The tone of the game, apparently."
IncGamers reports that Army of Two: The 40th Day has been given a 15 rating by the BBFC.
EA Montreal, a studio of Electronic Arts Inc., has announced that renowned film composer Tyler Bates will be creating the score for the highly-anticipated Third-Person Co-Op Shooter Army of Two: The 40th Day. The sought-after composer, best known for his work on the blockbuster films 300 and Watchmen, is crafting an immersive score that will highlight the epic co-operative battles gamers and their friends will face in the first major videogame release of 2010.
Army Of Two: The 40th Day Producer, Matte Turner, in a recent interview with PLAY magazine, reckons that retailers must "hate them", after the recent release of its download-only PSPgo.
Army of Two: The 40th Day Producer Matt Turner has explained the reason behind his title's January release date, telling GamerZines that going "toe-to-toe with Modern Warfare 2 would be a silly thing to do."
The Army of Two movie will run on a "different path" to that of the games, EA has said.
"EA announced ARMY OF TWO: THE 40th DAY will ship on January 12, 2010 in North America and January 8, 2010 in Europe. The 40th Day is the sequel to the 2008 multi-platinum co-op shooter that sees the return of the ultimate two-man private military team, Salem and Rios."
PlayStation LifeStyle writes, "In just over a week, PlayStation LifeStyle will be reporting live from the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). We've been trying to get a handle on the plethora of PlayStation games that will be on display from June 2 through June 4, and it's quite astounding. If you weren't excited about the prospect of new announcements for the PlayStation brand, what if we told you there will be over 75 unique PlayStation games on display - that we know about?! While many are multiplatform titles (though the best still appear to be Sony-exclusive), it is a large increase from last year's showing."
GOONL!NE: The first footage of Army of Two: The 40th Day will be shown this Thursday. A trailer and new gameplay footage will be coming on GameTrailers TV, according to Geoff Keighley.
