Killzone 3 is sounding better and better with each passing week. According to the developers, Guerrilla Games, Killzone 3 will definitely support split-screen co-up, but there has been no official work about online co-op. TheSixthAxis contacted a trusted source to learn that the game will support both online and offline co-up.
Many retailers offer exclusive DLC for pre-ordering games before release. One of the pre-order bonuses offered by Gamestop is a exclusive multiplayer map and the Super M90 Shotgun for the game, which has also confirmed co-op multiplayer for the title. Description for the shotgun reveals “This weapon can be used exclusively for multiplayer co-op missions.”
A new Red Dead Redemption patch, released over the weekend by Rockstar Games, has added a number of new trophies to the game. The patch adds 10 co-op trophies, but will only be unlockable later this month when the free Outlaws to the End co-op downloadable pack is released.
Uncharted 2′s co-op multiplayer missions are certainly popular among players, and its likely that Naughty Dog will be expanding the available missions. Speaking with G4, Naughty Dog’s Evan Wells has said “So for future DLC, could we add more co-op? Probably more in the arena-style type of gameplay, like our Survival and our Gold Rush modes.”
Infinity Ward has scrapped the co-op support for Modern Warfare 2’s main campaign mode, claiming it “really broke” the game’s cinematic experience. Speaking to VG247, communications head Robert Bowling commented, “We did it early on; that’s what Spec Ops started out as, as co-op through story.” As a result, the original co-op mode formed the nucleus of what would later become the Spec Ops feature, allowing players to tackle a number of segments from the main campaign which proved suitable for a two-player experience.
