EA talks Army of Two sequel

At EA's HQ earlier this week, lead designer Chris Ferriera told CVG that he wants to get the development of Army of Two just right, so that the chance of pumping out sequels in the future is a possibility.

"To think of this game as a new IP within EA, it has to be right," he said. "We want the first game to be perfect, because if we launch an IP and it isn't what we want to make and isn't made to the right quality level, then the future for the franchise doesn't exist. We want to really build something strong."

EA Montreal has already put a good few years into the co-op shooter, and it's now sporting an intriguing "agro metre" inspired by MMOs like World of Warcraft.

When questioned, the lead designer told us: "This is EA right? So when we have a hit we'll make more."

    If the first one is good, they will start to pump out sequel after sequel and then people will start to complain... I think that they shouldn't have said anything about a sequel yet, especially since the first game isn't even out yet. If Army of Two is any good, I will get it, because I'm not about to buy Gears of War on 360. That game was too short, only about 8 hours max on normal or hard I forgot which one. Hopefully this is close to what Gears was gameplay wise.
