Roderique: In the first game, all the characters were using the same skeleton so they all had the same size. Ron: From the video and screenshots that we've seen so far, some people have commented on a notable size difference between the two characters, was that something that you wanted to focus on? In addition to several new enemies, some of the design changes for the titular duo are discussed. In it, Pralier discusses the changes to the sequel. Would you say it's got a more L4D feel to it? I liked the scoring, which when played on co-op has a nice escalating competition to it, and your words make me think it probably is going for a L4D esque, replay this level for the best score sort of thing.The official Army of Two: The 40th Day blog has posted an interview with Character Art Director Roderique Pralier. It's a nice feature if you like it, but it isn't as well implemented here (I played the demo). This works like Splinter Cell Conviction / Ghost Recon Future Soldier, in that you can hold a button to dash to that spot specifically. You also may want to add something else for movement: when looking around or in cover, you'll see a blue arrow when you look at other pieces of cover. While aggro doesn't make a comeback, do any of these (and more) come back? To me, the hallmark of AO2 is the co-op especially with 40th day, there's a ton of co-op maneuvers you can do, like mock surrender, feigning death, counting down when ADSing to synchronize shots with your partner, and picking up a shield and acting as mobile cover for your pal. TL DR: I'm mad because The Devil's Cartel was more different than I thought it would be. I don't think it's a bad game I think it's a bad Army of Two game. But I expected the game to build off the last, and be an improvement off of existing mechanics. This may sounds like I don't like it because it isn't The Fortieth Day. 10-15 minutes on average.Ĭustomization limited to ends of levels only. Salem and Rios were more iconic, and actually had personalities. Scopes and silencers can not be removed in-game, and can only be done at the end of levels. The "tagging" system of tracking enemies has been removed, replaced with something that is supposed to help you navigate levels but is very hard to understand. In my opinion, this simply encourages grinding and replays in a game where that shouldn't happen. Instead of weapons unlocking as you progress through the story, you earn points for kills and other things. TDC half-asses this, with more customizable zones, but no inter-weapon relationships.Ĭharacter levels. You could have and M4 with the barrel of an AK-47, the stock of a G-36, a drum magazine, a silencer, and a 4x optical scope. Almost any weapon part of a weapon could be exchanged for the equivalent part on another weapon. TFD had an amazing "Lego with Guns" system of weapon customization.
You can change your clothes, tattoos, and masks at the beginning of every level. Each player is always noticed by the AI and targeted equally.Ĭustomization. In both games before this, there was the "aggro" mechanic, in which a player with a louder weapon shooting more would attract the attention of enemies, allowing the other player to flank, snipe, or dispatch them quietly. In TDC, it's exactly like every other system. When near a cover object, the character would simply move into place. It was like any other generic cover system, but there was no button to press. TFD had an awesome innovative cover system. This built an emotional connection between them and the player, making the morality choice at the end of the game harder.Ĭover. In TFD, it was specifically mentioned that out of combat, Salem and Rios would pull up their masks, allowing you to see their faces. Though this is minor, I feel disconnected from a character unless I can see them. In TDC, you cannot see your face unless you are in cover. In TFD, your orientation would only change when you moved or if you were aiming. It directly controlled the direction of the character that is, I couldn't see my face. The second thing I noticed were the aiming controls. The characters instantly move at speed, in contrast to TFD, where the characters would accelerate to speed.
The first thing I noticed when I started playing was that the movement was different. I expected a player oriented game with the same mechanics as before, with innovation and interesting gameplay. I recently purchased The Devil's Cartel, thinking it would be a fun, enjoyable experience, akin to the series' previous games.
