I really liked the 1st one and my nephew always asks for us too play it. He picks Rios because of the flames and I get Salem. It's kinda crazy and sad that the 1st time we played it the ps3 got the disc read error. Then the second time during gameplay my nephew had a convulsion in the ukraine level. That really freaked me out. I remind him of it and he still wants to play. I love that kid. Just felt I had to share that its a great game to play with a friend or family member. #armyoftwothe40thday

I saw the single player mode of The 40th Day at E3, and I wasn't impressed. It seems like the multiplayer is really relying on the same thing the first game had to rely on: having a decent partner to play with. #armyoftwothe40thday

This looks pretty cool, though its bullshit that its a GameStop pre-order release. Which then causes a delay for everyone else to get it.

Since as anyone knows the longer a game with MP mode sits around the longer folks lose interest. Even more so when its a title that isnt large like Halo or COD.

So the question is will folks really still care by the time the new mode is released 30 days later? Will the game hold the initial users attention long enough to last those 30 days? #armyoftwothe40thday

@Witzbold: agreed perfectly. Coming out on January might have its benefits for the game, for if it were released in the midst of the holiday games rush, people are more prone to beat-it-and-forget-it, or even trade it in for the higher value while its still new.

Of course, all the delay of games that have been happen are making early '10 rather crowded too.

This may be yet another boneheaded move on the part of EA and GameStop. #armyoftwothe40thday

@jackburnt: problem is, how many people will be playing the game 30 days later? For some video games, especially mid-tier games, 30 days is the entire life span of the game. I might have a small, dedicated audience, sure, but will it be enough to sustain the mp mode? #armyoftwothe40thday

These look just at home on the Wii. It looks like NFS for girls too with the colorful pallete used. It's like Barbie's ponies on wheels.

@StillLee: @Milton Allemand:

Point being that it's too colorful, not lack of brown or gray colors. I didnt state that, look closer.

If you did in fact play those burnout or Forza games, you would notice that they look great without looking like a Baja or Dirt rip off. Heck even Motostorm looks amazing without looking too cartoonish.

I just want to see what next years game looks like. Criterion will rock this franchise, and if they can't make it good, nobody can.

@-Skyline-: I didn't know Criterion were picking up the franchise.
I wonder how they'll split up the work load and, more importantly, the gameplay innovations between NFS and their own Burnout series. Separate teams working on each game?

@Antiterra: Yeah John Riccitello leaked out that they have the next game. And they haven't put out anything out since the burnout Island in June, a full game since January of last year, so i'm sure they have multiple teams. I'm gonna guess they have people on Black 2 also...

Apparently, the Video Game Illuminati met in secret and quietly decreed 2010 to be year we release all our good shit. 2007 was sick, 2008 was legendary. This year was kind 'meh'. With all the big name titles listed to drop 2-years-till-the-Mayan-apocalypse... (that's 2010 to me and you), I'm gonna have to either a) take out a second mortgage (pretty hard since I don't have a first, nor a house), or b) sell organs (preferbly others, not my own, though we shall see) on the Chinese Black Market. Ah well, business as usual...

@Game_Sovereign: People say crap about 2009 but it still has a ton of games....
ODST, MW2, Beatles, Borderlands, DJ Hero, Forza, Assassins Creed II, and Scribblenauts will all probably be bought by me at some point...

Also games i probably won't get but look cool would be like Batman, Wolfenstein, Layton 2, Dragon Age, etc.

Wait, a multiplayer mode for people who preorder?
Isn't that, you know, kinda counter productive? The mode sounds nice, but I'm gonna have to wait an extra month to play it?
No.

@FeatherNET - Live in Canada: They did the same thing with Halo Wars and the MMythic Map pack. The problem is that the people who pre-ordered have nobody to play against. Did the original Army of 2 have Multi-player other then the Co-Op stuff?

@FeatherNET - Live in Canada: It's better than releasing a game, lets call it "Esident Revil 5", then, a month later releasing a multiplayer mode and charging for it.

This way people who preorder get an early adopter bonus. Those who have shown that they can wait for something, get to wait for something else.

@-Skyline-: Yes it did. 2 vs 2. Buggy as hell, and irritating when people left midgame as it would quit the game, but it had it's moments.
I don't know about Halo Wars, but Map packs are different than game modes. And having a lack of people to play with is just as I said: "Counter productive".
