Condemned 2: Bloodshot details and screenshots |
Ó
While SEGA and Monolith Productions' Condemned 2: Bloodshot will be debuting at this year's E3, a lot of the fans are really anxious to get more details on it. Yeah, it's a bit much to ask the really hardcore followers of this game to wait a week or so, therefore we dug around a bit.
Apparently, IGN was lucky enough to sit down with a few members of the development team from Monolith. Producer David Hasle, associate multiplayer producer Tarl Raney, and lead software engineer Brian Legge appeared to be more than happy to have their brains picked, so here are a few of the interesting points that came out.
First up are the weapons in Condemned 2. Hasle gave word that the old favorites, such as the pipe, will still be in the game. They've also expanded the weapon list and added a few new twists in how you use the weapons. Apparently, you can throw them now. The practical application of this was explained by Hasle.
For example, you can throw your weapons -- that's really become a crowd pleaser internally. In fact, throwing is actually quite handy. If you time it right when a guy is running towards you, you can throw something at his feet and trip him up, hit him on the back when he's down on the ground, and then finish him off.
Another cool part of the original Condemned was the addition of finishing moves. Pulling these off required getting you opponent in a "daze state". Unlike the first game though, Condemned 2 will let you move your opponents around after you've dazed them by putting them in a half-nelson and dragging them to wherever you want to execute your finishing move.
This new feature is due to the addition of environmental finishers in Condemned 2. A fine example is the part where, as Hasle put it, "you'll find a bookcase where you can perform the old "American History X" move and stick his mouth against the edge and... Well, finish him off." That new finisher is just awesome, if only for the reference to the movie.
Condemned 2: Bloodshot is looking to be one sweet game. It will be released on the Xbox 360 and PS3 in the US come the first quarter of next year, so watch out for it. No word yet on when it'll be coming to Europe, but it's pretty safe to say you guys will be getting it there by next year as well.

this is when i got banned from the forums...
The first one made me crap my pants when it first came out. Seriously, I have pictures on my space to prove it. Looks like I gotta prepare more than one boxer for this one.
