It's for video game systems!
You use the controller to kill insects. I believe that the subtitle is "Insect Swarm," which implies there will be lots of insects.
Um, it was announced at a GameStop convention? (is that a place)
Look, that's really all we know right now, but my journalism teacher just taught me never to bury the lede therefore :plorp NEW THREAD
In conclusion:

sequel to the best third person shooter on x360 :)
-
Maybe now they'll come out of the stone age and add online
-
Co-op EDF please
-
Pale Wing or bust.
There's no mention of it at the D3 Booth according to the GAF thread. However, there's supposedly a banner for it at said Gamestop wankfest, but no one can be bothered to take a picture of it.
-
Yessssss.
-
I'm guessing we'll see this officially at TGS.
-
They mentioned before that they wanted to bring the series to XBLA so maybe that's what this is :omg
It would be hilarious if they announced an XBLA game at a Gamestop conference as a big f u :lol
-
sequel to the best third person shooter on x360 :)
Nailed it. At least until Vanquish comes out.
...Actually, let me fix that:
sequel to the best third person shooter this gen :)
-
Coop or will never buy.
-
Pretty excited. If this winds up on a handheld or the Wii, you'll find my body swinging from the rafters in the garage.
-
Never played EDF 2017. Alwasy looked like an f-tier game to me.
-
Gee, so did we all. Still better than most games out there. Glad you are still as vapid as ever though

that there's a good chance that this as of yet unknown game on a as of yet unknown system will reach these shores well before the already complete Wii game that they made (never) really raises up my dander.
-
Someone on GAF said that Sandlot might not be working on this because D3 was shopping the series around for a western developer.
Better not be true. :maf :maf :maf :maf :maf
-
That would be a terrible shame.

That would explain why this was first heard at a Gamestop convention.

Now I am scared of this.

DAMN YOU, MOTHERSHIP! (http://i53.tinypic.com/x55i8j.gif)
-
more new (old) info is that the game is on the Xbox 360 and releasing in February. Someone about twittereded weeks before the Gamestop conference about it, and since he got the name right, it is assumed that the February release and console are real too.
-
If it's out in February, I'm guessing they'll reveal it at TGS.

TEASER TRAILER HERE
http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/112/1121006p1.html
Earth Defense Force is a cooperative arcade shooter that gets your blood flowing by throwing thousands of giant bugs at you. Over 150 weapons will help you to squash the invasion -- and the entire city of New Detroit thanks to the destructible environments. Now up to three players can battle through the campaign online (the first EDF only allowed for two). There will also be a Survival mode for six players.
Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon will be released next spring. It's being developed by Vicious Cycle, the studio behind the Matt Hazard games.
-
Party's over... time to go home :lol
-
EDF is awesome. They'll sacrifice anything to throw more bugs onscreen. Best 5fps game EVER
i thought the last level was gonna give me seizures :lol

Developers of Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard are doing this. That should work out.

It should work out if you want a shitty game maybe. What the fuck is this shit.

Yeeah.... oooh. Oh.
-
Well I don't know, the screens look pretty good. I guess I can't get too down on it yet, at least until I see some gameplay.
-
:lol The Lysander Z is godlike. I mainly used that, the Stingray MF (or whatever the highest grade is), and the ZEXR turrets to beat Inferno. I would have used the Stampede XM a lot, but it was the final weapon I needed so I had to go without it.
Hopefully the weapon drops aren't so random in this game.
-
I'll probably still buy it out of EDF love, but my penis just shrunnk inside my gut and now i have a clit
About 2017... I'm only like 10 levels into Hard. It is hard to dedicate to that game for long times by yourself :fbm
-
Have any of the EDF games been set in space?
Nope, just Erf.
-
After 300 hours I'm still missing the fucking Lysander Z
i think i got it on my save file and i dont think i spent that absurd number of hours. i think i have like 4-5 levels left on the hardest difficulty? still fucking hard, i need to jack my HP a lot if i want to 1000/1000 some day...or find a decent player to help me. even if it's just to roll around and set turrets.
i just need to beat inferno for the last damn 500 gs...oh and some weapons missing
-
There's some pretty good missions to farm for weapons though. There's one that takes place in a creek with nothing but red ants swarming you, and you can just set a turret and flamethrower them all. That's the best farming spot that I could find.
I think I beat Inferno with 3000-3500 health, but it's been so long I can't remember. Farming the last weapons I needed took another 10+ hours I'd say. Shit sux. :-\
-
I dont have the attention span to remember to pop the disc in every day. I prefer to go thelong haul and marathon.
-
Mojo sent me EDF for secret santa last year. :-*
I would be down for some co-op.
-
I played right after I opened it. I haven't played in a while but I have played it. Was there an online component?
edit: It's in my 'Games Played' list :smug
-
Looks like shit
Sounds like shit
Glad Demon Souls 2 got announced this TGS or I would have to go kill myself.
-
Also I am so confused.
Does this mean Sandlot is booted from the property? I'm pretty sure Sandlot said after they finished Reginleiv at the start of this year they were going back to EDF. Since Reginleiv kind of sucks and is no EDF and this EDF will suck and be no EDF, if Sandlot can't go back to EDF that basically the end of EDF.
-
fffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
-
also no split-screen coop
so basically the game is worthless
-
also no split-screen coop
Why the fuck not?! This gen is annoying.
-
D3 specifically produced this game for western audiences + Matt Hazard devs = bad signs
Still waiting on gameplay vids before I write it off though. This gen is awful.
-
http://www.destructoid.com/hands-on-earth-defense-force-insect-armageddon-185347.phtml
There are two gameplay videos there
-
It looks okay, but the engine is starting to choke with such a small amount of enemies on screen. :-\
Inferno better be packed.
-
Looks decent but the robots are teeny, and the black people quotes are completely offputting.
-
Awesome.
If Sandlot is developing EDF4, I don't care if Insect Armageddon turns out to be crap. It is looking okay so far though.
-
In a strange turn of events, there is a new EDF in development internally too!
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/1293166683
To summarise:
EDF2 Portable for PSP
EDF Insect Armageddon (by a bunch of stinky foreigners)
EDF mobile (moshi moshi)
EDF4 (the real deal)
:rock
I think EDF2 Portable would actually be a lot of fun in Japan where people can huddle and play PSP co-op. If they add 4p co-op instead of the old 2p and everyone can ad-hoc together and fight monsters and get loot it'd be pretty cool. Means nothing to us living outside the nihon though, since no one else owns a psp ^^;
-
Man, if Sandlot is behind EDF4... :o
-
EDF4 is for PS3/360, right? don't want a surprise where it's for the Wii or something :-X
-
wtf does it matter? the graphics wouldn't change with a wii-to-hd port other than resolution or framerate maybe.
I wonder how many dozens of hours it will take to health farm to beat the game on inferno now. Took so long but I finally got that achievement.
-
wtf does it matter?
Online coop? And yes, the graphics would still be better on 360/PS3.
-
Well I was thinking of EDF 2017 level of graphics. At 480P and with a little fogging, I would think it's graphics are mediocre by Wii standards.
I just saw the trailer for the new one and it looks a lot better. Looks like a mediocre current-gen game which is more than good enough.
-
Does this still have offline co-op? if not the game can go fuck itself.
-

What Beezy said. Wii online is comparable to the Dreamcast.
I don't think anyone expects great graphics from these games.
-

I know they've shown screenshots of the split-screen.
-
Don't even try to justify or comprehend the performance of 2017 on x360. I mean, look at the PS2 games and look at 2017, other than resolution do you see any real difference in what the game's pushing? It's fair to say that 2017 was the same scope as the past PS2 games and similar detail level even, shouldn't be hard to imagine Wii doing a PS2 game at 480P.

Impressions seem positive.
-
It's not coming out until June 28th? I thought this was a February/March title?
-
Sandbox is working on their own EDF sequel, right?
-
This might have been a dream I had, but wasn't Sandbox also doing a PSP one?
-
yes, a co-op enabled port of the PS2 EDF2 I think.

-
Insect Armageddon exists solely to tide me over to the real deal (the Sandlot games). I'll buy it just because it's EDF but I have no expectations for it. Even if it's bad, co-op should be fun for a few days.

The art is crap compared to the original games, but it does look fun. Probably gonna be there day 1.

Mojo is so hard right now.

All the impressions I've read have been negative, but I'm still interested.

Are these impressions coming from people who like the previous EDFs?
I'm still getting it. Even if it sucks compared to the previous games, it should be fun enough with online co-op. Plus it's only 40 bucks.
Inferno mode better be brutal. :hyper

Yep. I wonder how much of it has to do with the fact that it's not from Sandlot, though.

Same here. $40 price point is awesome. And it has split-screen co-op, which is good with my group of friends.

My problem isn't the art, it's that there just doesn't seem to be as much going on in this one as the previous EDFs. Maybe it's there but I haven't seen any big EDF style battles from any of the footage I've seen.

want
-
Mere days away people. Apparently the 360 version doesn't come with a printed manual ???
-
PAL :gloomy
-
I think Gamestop pushed it up to Saturday. Someone on GAF already has it as well.
I hope Gamefly doesn't get their copies until Monday/Tuesday.

This game only has 15 levels, according to a dev from Vicious Cycle. FAIL
whether we do DLC or not really depends on how the game sells. That's all up to D3. Levels-- five are in an urban residential type area, five are in an industrial zone, and five are in a downtown/financial district. There's a little bit of a story in each campaign, enough to keep the player moving and killing stuff. Most of them are 15-30 minutes long and all contain multiple objectives (mostly having to do with killing Ravagers).
15 levels take place on 15 different maps, with a few areas you might see more than once. then we also have the Survival maps.

-
This game is gonna drop like a rock... I'm still interested in it, love co-op in the vidya.
-
how the fuck did they manage to screw up this game. I imported the originals, they were super cheap and even if they ran at 10 fps, they had more content than this new release. Even the EDF2017 had something like 60 missions.
What the hell went wrong? A random mission generator could generate gameplay forever on this kind of game. What an atomic fail
-
Yeah. If there were ever a game which could easily support random mission generation, this is it.
-
Am I the only one here that picked this up? Bomba total.
-
Does everyone still have swivel-hips? That was the best part.
-
I haven't gotten to play yet but I hear the swivel-hips aren't back. :(
-
does this game do anything right?
-
Am I the only one here that picked this up? Bomba total.
Gonna pick it up tomorrow.
-
Cool, we should party up. GT is the same as my name here on 360. 8)

PS3, bro. Sorry.
-
Eh, there's plenty of sa goons playing, I'll party up with them shitheads. This game gives me the motion sickness after playing for a bit. Of course that might also have been triggered by lack of sleep since I had to drop somebody off for a flight at like 4 a.m. this morning.
-
Yurogamer gave it an 8. Maybe it's only dirty neckbards who are annoyed
-
GameFly sent me this but I really am not in the mood to play it... I might just keep it since it winds up being like $25
-
$25 is more than I paid. :teehee
-
I guess I dont care because I am gangster rich.
-
I picked this up today for 360. I'm on the second to the last stage on Normal playing through it with Trooper Armor. So far I've gotten it up to level 4. Bitches, let's play.
GT: FatalT
-
The online for this is just kinda wonky. Unable to host/join a game for very long with goon types and got to play two levels with some randoms before they both bailed. Shit needs patching.
-
Just watched the Giant Bomb quick look. This ain't the EDF I know. Like I said earlier, there doesn't seem to be much going on here. Where's the screen filling swarms of bugs? Where's the colossal motherships and robots? And active reloading?!?! :wag
EDF is dead.
-
No it's not, Sandlot is making EDF4. This game is just a stopgap.
-
Well that's good news. Hopefully the only thing Sandlot will take from this EDF is the online co-op.

Well that quick look was played on pussy difficulty level with just one human player and low tier weaponry. It gets a lot more insane then that. Also what kind of fuckwit brings a grenade launcher and homing missles into a stage where they know they're going to have to shoot down some carriers? Goddamn moron. Online was working way better for me today btw.
-
Cleared 3-5 hard with some goons, now all that's left is inferno. :rock
-
I'm rank 5 with Flight and rank 4 with Trooper. Up to 2-4 on Hard!
