Game Informer Unveils Crackdown 2 Details

The upcoming issue of Game Informer magazine will unveil some details about the four player co-op game Crackdown 2.  Continuing on from the first game, it appears a zombie virus is spreading, and the civilians have banded together to form a gang and destroyed the Agency.  Day and night will play a crucial role in the game, and freaks will be bigger and badder than before.  

Of course someone managed to get their hands on the article early and leaked a ton more information regarding the game and its features.  

  • Support points are gone, instead agents can call in supplies anytime
  • The overall look of the game is grittier, but still retains the style of the original
  • Repetitive boss battles are gone
  • More instances where co-op is prudent
  • Vehicles have room for mounted guns, great for co-op action
  • While most vehicles are returning, there are new ones like a helicopter
  • The city is mostly identical, but decays over time as the infection spreads
  • New weapons like the rail gun
  • 16 player competitive multiplayer with skill progression system

Wow, sounds like quite a bit of stuff, especially for co-op.  No release date was given.

I've just seen a Zero Punctuation review from Left 4 Dead, and the guy said "Every game now includes zombies, because geeks think that they are cool."
