Conflict: Denied Ops

Eidos Interactive and Pivotal Games have finished their work on Conflict: Denied Ops, and will be releasing it this week on Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC. A demo showed off the game last week, giving you the chance to try out the co-op mode. Today, thanks to the XCN, we have an interview with a senior designer from Pivotal Games. You'll here it all about the story, upcoming content, the future for the Conflict series and much more!

Eidos released a demo of Conflict: Denied Ops today, on both the Xbox Marketplace and PSN. The Conflict series has had some good squad-based games during the years, so it was a little bit disappointing to play this. You are now controlling two guys, Lang and the sniper Graves. And soon you see that (at least in the demo) there seems to be no reason to actually control Graves, as you can take down most of the people with Lang with no trouble - even when they're standing far away. Bigger maps in the full version can change this though.
The demo has some sound issues which hopefully will be fixed for the final release, which is next friday in Europe, and inside you'll find a couple of minutes of gameplay from the X360 demo.

Eidos released these images and a launch trailer of Conflict: Denied Ops, to be released on Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC on 22nd of February. The trailers shows more of how the coop works, which lets the player control two characters "at the same time". A PC demo will be released "soon", and hopefully we'll have something on both Xbox Live and PSN.

Some of you might remember Crossfire, announced during X06 - Eidos own co-op game. Back then it was planned to be released in the end of this year, but it has now slipped over to 2008, under the name of Conflict: Denied Ops. The developer, Pivotal Games, are responsible for the Conflict: Desert Storm series, so it's probably not a stupid move to use the brand again. Inside you'll find three images that looks much better than the last one released, plus some more info about the game.
