wtf does it matter? the graphics wouldn't change with a wii-to-hd port other than resolution or framerate maybe.

What Beezy said. Wii online is comparable to the Dreamcast.

I don't think anyone expects great graphics from these games.

Does this still have offline co-op? if not the game can go fuck itself.

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?

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #66 on:** January 21, 2011, 07:49:43 PM »

This might have been a dream I had, but wasn't Sandbox also doing a PSP one?

HyperZoneWasAwesome · « **Reply #67 on:** January 21, 2011, 07:52:41 PM »

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.

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.

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.

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

Quote

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).

Quote

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.

Shuri · « **Reply #86 on:** July 01, 2011, 10:57:01 PM »

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

chronovore · « **Reply #87 on:** July 03, 2011, 11:51:09 AM »

Yeah. If there were ever a game which could easily support random mission generation, this is it.

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.

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.

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #102 on:** July 08, 2011, 12:43:15 PM »

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?!?!

EDF is dead.

iconoclast · « **Reply #103 on:** July 08, 2011, 12:45:01 PM »

No it's not, Sandlot is making EDF4. This game is just a stopgap.

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #104 on:** July 08, 2011, 12:57:07 PM »

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.

I'm rank 5 with Flight and rank 4 with Trooper. Up to 2-4 on Hard!
