Yesterday we unveiled the new visual style that the four player co-op title Borderlands was going to sport. Today, Kotaku has gotten a hole of the exclusive PC Gamer cover article that reveals the "not cel-shaded" style. While some may argue what exactly cell shaded means, I'm going to argue that the above character shot, which is a screenshot from the game, is cell shaded.
It's a long weekend for some, which means extra time for co-op gaming!
Last night we had a very successful Xbox Live Co-Op night featuring Resident Evil 5 on the Xbox 360. But we don't want to leave our PlayStation fans out in the cold, so we're giving away one copy of the PS3 version of the game to a lucky reader.
The recently renamed Guitar Hero Smash Hits is coming to consoles in June. Smash Hits is a compilation of songs from previous Guitar Hero games, this time with full four player band support, adding in drum and singing parts. Tunes from Guitar Hero 1, 2 and 3, plus the Rocks the 80s expansion, will be included. A total of 48 songs will make their way onto the Smash Hits setlist.
We never quite covered box art like we did for Left 4 Dead with any other game. Whether it was German censoring or hand puns, we felt the need to tell the world about the box art for this four player co-op title. Now several months later, as Valve gears of for some DLC, they've revealed the original evolution of the box art.
With a title like Burn Zombie Burn a game immediately has a lot of potential. This PlayStation Network exclusive pits co-op players against hordes of angry zombies with only one goal in mind - burn em all. We'll find out if you should crack open the flamethrower for this one, or if it's only luke warm.
Not to be left out after the Xbox 360 version got it's own video, the PlayStation 3 version of Sacred 2: Fallen Angel is on display in the latest trailer of this co-op RPG.
As good as Resident Evil 5 was it really was missing something. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but after seeing the video from IGN I've seen the light - Resident Evil 5 needed more muppets.
This week we're featuring another Co-Op Couples submission, this time from guest writer Ethan Kaye . Ethan helps us revisit Castle Crashers , Xbox Live's 2009 Live Arcade Game of the Year, as well as some other favorite co-op titles. Read on for a musing romp through the living room of a friendly new Co-Op Couple...
It appears as though the four player co-op Borderlands has gone from a realistic rendering look to a more artistic cell shaded technique. The shot above shows a comparison between Borderlands new cell shaded look (left) and the old look (right). The change is of course, controversial, it is the Internet after all. A Gearbox employee on the official forums has addressed the issue, confirming the game has undergone a graphical overhaul.
As a couch co-op fan, I've been eagerly anticipating the Xbox 360 version of Sacred 2. Those who prefer their co-op online and on the PC have already been enjoying the action RPG goodness for several months now, and the experience looks to be getting even better.
If you were a fan of Hellgate: London (not many were) - then you were probably looking forward to a re-launch of the game in West by the IP owner Hanbitsoft. The co-op friendly game requires official servers to play on, despite it not quite being an MMO. So what's the hold up? Namco Bandai, who owns the rights to the game, is refusing to let it relaunch.
