From GameWatcher: "There are three things the videogaming world needs more of: co-op games that aren’t about shooting things, games where you play kids in the vibe of Stranger Things or Stephen King’s IT, and more games from the makers of Bioshock. The Blackout Club combines all three."
Try to cope with your friend through terror with this list featuring the best horror Co-Op games you can play today.
The Humble Thrills & Chills Bundle just launched today. It features games like The Blackout Club, Dusk, Layers of Fear 2, and more. As usual, you pay what you want and a percentage goes to charity.
In a podcast with Wassup Conversations, Jordan Thomas, director and the writer of BioShock 2 reveals his initial ideas for a new rapture and how they were shut down by 2K.
"My first proposal was about a little sister, it was playing as a little sister and it was much more horror-oriented pace and about vulnerability, closer to Thief frankly, but I was told no, we want it to be our Gears of War, this need to be a big shooter franchise with an emphasis on the shooter element, and so what I think of the protagonist of a shooter as is a big lumbering sort of porthole on a stick with guns sticking out in front like you’re almost a vehicle."
And he also wanted it to be above the sea or in space. What a wasted opportunity.
It's surprising the game turned out to be good with this guy at the helm. The combat mechanics were actually the biggest improvement in the sequel as much as he wouldn't want to hear that, everything else was inferior.
Title had me at Left 4 Dead.
yes please!
Bioshock 2 ugh.. Sounds really cool though.
It looked great the last time I saw it, e3 I think. Bioshock 2 was a great game. That team would have done much better if they didn’t have to redo rapture. They did great for what they had, I enjoyed it a lot and it’s solid mechanically. Extreme selfishness vs. extreme selflessness was a cool counterbalance imo. They made it work but an original setting would have been better. Left4dead is my favorite coop game of all time and I love 80s cheese. This game is going to be solid, I can already tell.
