Kane and Lynch DLC Details

On April 17, Eidos will release a set of four Kane and Lynch multiplayer maps to Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network at the friendly price of absolutely free. To learn a bit more about what we can expect out of the download, IGN went to Kim Krogh, game director for the fragile alliance multiplayer mode.

IGN: Does this map pack come with a software update to fix some of the issues found in the original game?

Kim Krogh: Yes, and we separated the title update and the DLC, so that everybody gets the title update when they play Fragile Alliance. In the title update we have fixed the connectivity problems, and bugs like being sent back to the start menu when a game session ended or a problem occurred.

We also removed friendly fire between re-spawned players. Too often we experienced that two players teamed up and when one of them died he started killing the other re-spawned player police. That's within the concept. But then mercs and re-spawned police started sharing the money which kind of spoiled it for the many people who just wanted to have some fun.

i played the demo finally off the PSN and it didnt seem THAT bad to not rent and try it out.

heyheyhey5873d ago

your not wrong

the demo wasnt that bad

well the graphics were awful, the controls were abysmal but at the end of the day- it was quite fun

solar5873d ago

i do agree with the controls a bit.

Clinton5145873d ago

Especially while playing co-op. I finished it with my cousin within 6 hours. Online was pretty fun but a bit laggy.

gnothe15873d ago

i have had back aches that I enjoyed more than this game!! it was so hyped, i bought it for the 360 an that game was terrible.

Sjoeter5873d ago

the game-mode is original but the game itself sucks!

Top 10 Games that Deserve a Second Chance

Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "The video game industry is a pretty cutthroat place. More often than not the cycle of a game’s life is pretty set in stone – a title is announced, hyped ,released and hopefully it’s a hit. However sometimes things don’t go as planned and a game doesn’t hit home with gamers. Not that’s it a bad game per say but due to a myriad of issues or the general mood of the world at the time the game isn’t remembered so fondly as its contemporaries. So for this week’s Top 10 we’re listing off ten titles that you should probably give a second chance to because they really are decent titles and deserve more love than they ever got."

I enjoyed Kane and Lynch. I would love to see a PS All-Stars 2 or a non-Smash take on a PlayStation fighter. Maybe a Marvel v Campcom style but with larger levels.

PhoenixUp2184d ago

Can Tekken X Street Fighter even get a first chance

FallenAngel19842184d ago

I’d rather Nintendo give Star Fox Assault a second chance and make another new game in that style. I like that game way better than Star Fox Adventures

wonderfulmonkeyman2184d ago

I heartily agree.
Maybe even a sequel with that new walker from Star Fox Zero.[yes I know it's originally from Star Fox 2, but most of us know it from Zero because we didn't get to play SF2.]

SSj4Yagami2183d ago

More people played SF2 than SFZ thanks to SNES Mini, and emulation. Also, Star Fox Adventure > Star Fox Assault.

wonderfulmonkeyman2184d ago

The Conduit.

Just, give us a reboot of that for Switch and make it bigger and better than the original, which had potential but never got off the ground due to being on the Wii.

lptmg2183d ago

Unpopular af opinion: give Castlevania 64 and Deadpool a second chance

wonderfulmonkeyman2183d ago

Castlevania 64 was an amazing game for its time and I'd LOVE to see it get a proper remake or reboot.

Freedom Fighters was one of my favorite OG Xbox game

UCForce2373d ago

I played Freedom Fighter on PC when I was a kid. Damn, the game was so freaking good.

strayanalog2373d ago

I can live with this IO. So how about that sequel, so I can forgive you already?

Kyosuke_Sanada2372d ago

WOW!!!!!! I would be so hyped if Freedom Fighters returned but it's very disappointing that Kane and Lynch is still on ice because the story has so much potential. Both games also features Jesper Kyd's best work.
