Images of Mercenaries 2

EA and Pandemic release some new images of Mercenaries 2: World in Flames. It's still quite ugly visually. As for the gameplay, well, let's hope a lot of work has been done since last year's catastrophic playable build. I'm not holding my breath.

the lack of split screen kills this game for me.

I'll pass.
Maybe someday they will try and pull a good story/cinematic along with it.
It feels empty.

This game needs 4xAA, 720p with no AA looks so bad in open world games :(

I played the original Mercs after hearing how amazing it was, and was massively disappointed, I'm not particularly excited about this, especially as it's coming out at the same time as Saints Row 2. Although the region you have to explore this time does look a lot more interesting than the first games, as do the vehicles you have.

The game looks WAY better in motion, than it does in stills, particulary vehicle sections.

without the option to just sit next to a mate on the sofa and blast people to hell over split-screen its just not worth buying.

That's your opinion, you're entitled to it. Like i'm entitled to mine.
From the videos i've seen it looks pretty stunning, especially considering the scope of the game. Plus someone who has played the final build says it is stunning. So basically, these screenshots don't do the game justice.

Yeah, from footage, looks stunning. Just the amount of stuff on screen with exploding buildings, vehicles, it's pretty impressive. Co-op will be insane.

From what I seen so far this game look like a pile of crap. Hopefully they will release a demo that will change my mind.

Ehrm. Actually the game looks good. Yey, AA etc. isn't done very well but explosions, coop mode, destructable environments + the whole open world system is moren than just a "piece of cake" for a console. Remember a console has it's limitations in hardware.

I think you're all basing the game too heavily on screenshots. The first Mercenaries was ugly and didn't have co-op either, but it didn't matter, because those weren't the reason the game became so popular. Gameplay is where it's at, and if they can do it once they can do it again.

I don't think judging this game heavily on screenshots is a bad thing considering how bad this game looks. There's just no excuse for the game to look this way.

The game looks a damn sight better in motion, granted, it's no graphical showcase by any means, but it looks decent enough to me.
I just hope the performance is up to par and the pop-in is acceptable. The destruciton is cool, though a bit *understatement* cheap. Still, it looks like a lot of fun! That nuclear explosion vid I saw recently was pretty cool as well.
I remember the first one having some great controls, especially the chopper conrols are spot on! It felt really natural. Hopefully that'll still be intact and I'll have a blast! :)
