SystemLink: "Super-spy Supernnuation has dug up a whole lot more secret treasure recently, and claims that Dante's Inferno and Army of Two will be coming back for seconds. Or, in Army of Two's case, thirds. Army of 2.3? Wait, we're confused..."
A pair of job listings posted on EA's website have revealed that a new Army of Two game could be in the pipeline, with Visceral Games Montreal reportedly heading up development.
Speaking to IncGamers, Alex Hutchinson, creative designer of Army of Two: The 40th Day has said that the game sets up a sequel opportunity.
TVGB: When the original Army of Two was released last year, it was easy enough to pass it off as just another Gears of War clone, but really it wasn't according to EA Montreal's Alex Hutchinson. He offered a few more thoughts towards the problems of the shooter genre when we asked him what it was like coming from Maxis, the developers of Spore, to a more conventional game like Army of Two: The 40th Day. I think in the shooter genre or RPG genre, or any of these established genres people get stuck in a rut, they're inspired by other games that are the same. So everyone right now making a shooter wants to be Call of Duty, or every time you make a third-person shooter, everyone says you're Gears of War, which isn't good.
TVGB: Moving from the unique title Spore to a more conventional one like Army of Two: The 40th Day must have been an interesting experience for EA Montreal's Alex Hutchnsion. We caught up with the ex-Maxis dev on the show floor of Eurogamer Expo 2009 on Saturday to get his views on the original title now that he had been tasked with making the sequel a must-have. I thought it was a very brave game to make, he began as we watched over The 40th Day's zoo level being played out in front of us, Everyone at first kinda thought it was a Gears of War clone, but I really don't think that it is. I think the reason it sold well is that the core fantasy is very strong, the idea of you and me against the world, you and your best friend.
