The Co-Op Release Alert for the Week of 6.25.2012

News
Twitter facebook googlebuzz

I was excited when I saw there were five new games coming out this week. The summer can be a little sparse when it comes to new releases. Then I was sad when I realized all but one are re-releases or system ports. Then I was happy  because Dead Island is an awesome co-op game and everyone should play it. Then I was sad again, for no reason. I need to change my meds.

Dead Island: Game of the Year Edition (360, PS3) Dead Island is a great open world zombie game which gets even better with friends. If you like chopping and smashing various zombie parts, this is the game for you. Here's a link to our Co-Op Review4 player online co-op

Ghost Recon Future Soldier (PC) Gadgets! Guns! Guerrilla mode! Allow me to link you to our Co-Op Review of the 360 version. 4 player online co-op

LittleBigPlanet (VITA) It's cute and tiny! Build stuff and share it. Oh look, here's a link to our PS3 Co-Op Review. (The Vita version will include new adventures and Vita-specific features) 4 player online co-op

Resident Evil Chronicles HD Collection (PSN) On-rails shooting, anyone? It's like Resident Evil from a few years ago, without the pesky movement.  2 player local co-op

Spec Ops: The Line (PS3,360,PC) Ah, here we go. A new game! But what's this? It will NOT include co-op until a later date. Co-Op will be added through free DLC that should launch "around" release. Whatever that means. 2 player online co-op available through future free DLC

The following games will be available from Amazon this week. Please use the links and help support Co-Optimus! And as always, if I missed something, feel free to note it in the comments section.

LBP Vita is not coming out this week. It was originally announced as 6/26 but they have since dropped the release date. The PS Blog post that just went up today just says it will be released this year. I am in the Beta and it is awesome so everyone with a Vita should keep this game on their radar.

Well when LBPV does come out, I will be buying it the day one, for sure!!

I recommend Dead Island to anyone that's a fan of Borderlands. I think me and a few of the other Co-Opers still haven't played through the very last quest together yet, but I don't mind playing if I get invited =D

RE Chronicles HD looks good, but I've got too many rail shooters as it is. I'm totally with Bob in that these things NEED ONLINE CO-OP!

@Kevinclough
Thanks for the update on LBPV! Everyone else Sorry about that.

@Psyclops
I agree with you on the rails shooters. They'd get a lot more traction with online play.

How are the load times? I have the digital version of LBP PSP, and the load times are so horrendous I don't even touch it.

I timed a couple load times and I had 8 seconds, 13 and 20. I never timed the ps3 load times but it seems about the same. I need to try creating a level next.

The PSP load times were upwards of 2 minutes, so yeah - I'd say that's an improvement.
