IncGamers' Tamer Asfahani talks to Alex Hutchinson, creative designer on Army of Two: The 40th Day about the "tone" of the first game.
According to Hutchinson, Europeans didn't seem to get the humour, and Hutchinson went on to agree that although the game sold well, it wasn't a critically acclaimed title.
Kevin F. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Many of the best Xbox 360 games are playable on the Xbox One and Series X|S consoles. Some even with some enhanced visuals and performance. Unfortunately, not every game from the Xbox 360 library has received this glorious feat of being able to be played on more modern Microsoft consoles."
The Spider-man games will never happen. The xbox 360 Marvel Ultimate Alliance games have a better chance of happening than Spider-man titles but won't happen. The Xbox One Ultimate Alliance games delisted years ago
Yeah... you can totally forget about those entries that got delisted because of licensing issues. Those are not happening.
Almost all of the games people want to play are BC, and that's a hell of a lot better than having none available.
Almost all the games people want to play? Not true. Majority picks screw over the minority who have games collecting dust. Metal is right. Fans make it seem that it's all. 39/997 games from OG Xbox is NOT all. 568/2154 from 360 is NOT all. But you guys play it up like it is.
And from my count, there are 4,000+ PS4 BC games on PS5 that I see. And almost every VR game. Series X has no Kinect games or Kinect 2. But you played that up too. No more dancing.
As for the article, some of the BC games make sense. The others with Spider-Man aren't happening.
The team behind the best Playstation 3 emulator, RPCS3, has shared a new video showing some major graphical improvements that has implemented in the latest version of the emulator. As such, the team showed God of War 3, The Last of Us, Army of Two, Skate 2 and more games running on the emulator.
For pirates. I love running PS2 games on my PC. I can run them directly from the *real* disc. That is not an option for PS3 emulation. Thus....the problem. Endorse this and you endorse piracy. Period.
Well, Sony could have kept backward compatibility and not locked it behind a GaaS pay wall.
"Well, Sony could have kept backward compatibility and not locked it behind a GaaS pay wall. "
Right....cuz that halted Xbox 360 piracy in its tracks? Oh....wait.
How about for people who own the discs and a broken console?
Creating backup copies to play games that you own on an emulator of a console you have, and working or broken, is pretty much legal.
Yes, there will always be pirates, but there are some people who like to go back to their old games without having to buy a second hand console that may or may not work.
Emulation is a great idea, especially if you have already spent a fortune on the items you own, but cannot use.
Most people would just rip the disc to their hard drive anyway. There's nothing wrong with PS3 emulation and it doesn't equate to piracy.
"Most people would just rip the disc to their hard drive anyway."
Oh come on. Most people go find the bit torrent.
Mr by the law, considering I owned a original ps3 and if I download the games I owned whats the big deal.
Offer your games on PC, and then less of this will happen.
And that's not even speaking of the visual and performance difference.
***Well, Sony could have kept backward compatibility and not locked it behind a GaaS pay wall.***
They actually couldn't. They shot themselves in the foot in that regard by going the route of the cell architecture. It requires a much better cpu than current generation consoles have to emulate and run.
Fact is that these games are running poorly on PC now and likely will for another two+years.

I need to build a PC that can at least play PS2 games. I have a working PS3 and I don't mind using it to play PS3 games.... but since Sony doesn't support BC anymore.... you have no choice. The PS4 pro, should allow emulation for PS1 and PS2 games....
The PS4 actually does emulate PS2 games in HD. It's just not universal (it's only a select few games) and you can't actually use your discs, you have to pay a bunch for digital versions. At that point just use a PC.
I'd love if the PS5 was fully backwards compatible (PS4 games natively as a PS4 Pro, PS 1-3 via emulation).
Someone made a video saying that PS4 has software emulation built in according to hackers that were able to hack an older firmware and enable the ability.
found the video: https://www.youtube.com/wat...
I'd like to se Sony do this on their own, and come out with a proper digital marketplace on PC. Consoles will always be around in some form, but PC is the future.
there's a better method here:
it's called buying a dirt-cheap PS3, and playing the games natively on the console.
I would say the better method would be to copy MS on the X. Backwards compatibility with increased resolution and frame rate for no extra cost. The pro could do this. Or even just B/C on a ps4 without having to pay anything.
How is that better? You spend money on a console that has a limited lifetime and will only play the games as they were made instead of not spending money and just emulating the games at resolutions and frame rates that will only get better over time, better yet, It will last for as long as the software is executable. Which will be much longer than the lifespan of any hardware.
It might be the best way to play the games if you have to play them right now but I imagine that people that have held out for this long don't mind waiting a little longer. If you're buying used, morals don't come into the question as no money is going to Sony or the developers either way.
"How is that better?"
you're playing the games natively on the console.
"You spend money on a console that has a limited lifetime and will only play the games as they were made instead of not spending money and just emulating the games..."
heaven forbid that you spend money on something instead of stealing...
Buying the game and playing it on an emulator is not stealing, there are people playing pirate copies of games on a hacked PS3 (real hardware) right now, as well as stolen discs, morals are up to the individual and not the format/hardware.
@BVFTW I agree, I own three of these games but don't have access to a working PS3. I would love to be able to play them again without shelling out any more money.
I know, Bladesfist XD my PS3 is on it's last legs and I hav'ent even played half of my backlog yet! I've a lot of retro games as well and sometimes I play one of my oldies in the office through emulation, it's a great advantage not having to haul my old consoles and a crtv with me if I'm just looking for one quick fix with one game.
Nowadays, game sequels rarely end at the number two mark. So here are five two-game series in need of a third installment.
finally someone who enjoyed Army of two. story was not that great. but co op is one of the best out there. cometo india and i will show you people playing it all day at gaming parlours.
God that game was awful. And not, in any, funny. Apart from the unintentional homoerotic comedy that is.
The humour of it?
Interesting that they're going for the middle ground. Not surprising, though. Army of Two wasn't funny, it was just ridiculous.
So, humour killed the game? :)
the video they released for the new game was supposed to be funny ??? that video alone made me decide NOT to get this game. EVER!
