About Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon

Taking place in the fictional city of New Detroit, Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon is a completely new game developed by Vicious Cycle that takes on the concept of Earth Defense Force 2017 (Japanese Title "Earth Defense Force 3" developed by SANDLOT). Insect Armageddon continues to follow the rich history of casual fun and addictive gameplay that made the franchise a cult classic. Insect Armageddon also adds a new aspect to the Earth Defense Force series that was born in Japan, with additional elements for all EDF soldiers to experience. The Campaign mode that lets up to three players team up online to battle the insects and aliens across a completely destroyable city. Every EDF soldier is armed with over 150 weapons and four upgradeable armor sets and engages in nonstop arcade action that is the fastest and deadliest in the series. In addition, the game also features a six-player Survival mode that pits a human squad against a nonstop onslaught of the largest enemies the aliens have to offer. New Detroit's giant bug problem is unavoidable, and mankind's last hope lies with the Earth Defense Force to defend the world from the insect swarm, even if it means blowing up the entire city as part of the extermination process.

Thoughts ? :)

Glad it's comming to the HD consoles.

I feared a PSP release after I saw the teaser first.

Hopefully they're fixing some stuff and make some better achievements this time

Online co-op and survival mode may juuuuust make up for the lamentable lack of Sandlot involvement.

Plus, I liked Eat Lead!

Are you questioning the makers of Dora the Explorer: Journey to the Purple Planet? have more faith in them!

Well, if they can leverage their experience with illegal aliens into a project about space aliens, then EDF should be in good hands.

It's actually a sequel for them...

I'm gonna need to see some video!

I want no less than eight dozen giant bugs on screen at peak

Also, will they keep beloved traditional EDF features such as vehicles and choppy framerates? A buttery smooth 60 fps = no buy.

Man if those vehicles are fun to drive, I'm going to be pissed.

Yeah. And tanks mustn't be able to hit the blind side of a barn (or even a 100-storey robotic dinosaur).

Equally as important, you shouldn't take damage from trivial things like when your helicopter explodes in midair and you plummet hundreds of feet to the ground.
