Co-Optimus: Red Alert 3 Interview - Greg Kasavin on Influences and Design of a Co-Op RTS

Co-Optimus writes: "Co-Optimus: Was the decision to include co-op in Red Alert 3 present from Day 1? If not, why/when was it added?

Greg Kasavin: We knew early on in the development of Red Alert 3 that we wanted cooperative play in it, and we starting designing our missions around having two players in them from the get-go. We had a hunch that co-op would add a lot to the experience because we've all played plenty of two-on-two matches in all our favorite strategy games, and wanted to bring that feel over to the campaign--and to make a long story short, that's what we did! Creating our missions around co-op play did introduce a variety of new challenges for our design team, but our designers were eager to take on the new approach and were able to use co-op play as a means to create bigger and deeper missions than our team has delivered in the past."

Top 10 Worst Video Game Sequels

Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "A while ago we counted down the very best video game sequels of all time and so we decided to flip the table and look at the very worst sequels ever made. Now we’re not specifically looking at bad sequels to bad games, that would be boring, instead we’re looking at sequels that took what was present in a good game and completely wrecked it. These 10 games started out by building up our hype to extreme levels only to shatter our dreams and break out hearts once we got our hands on them and so we’re calling these out as the worst sequels ever made."

Dragon age 2 was not a bad game, just a terrible sequel if that makes any sense. Should have been it's own IP.

I loved Dragon Age II. I even got the platinum trophy for it. That was the very first medieval themed fantasy RPG that I enjoyed aside from an Ultima game I played in the early 90's at a cousins house.

Not that it was a bad game, just not a fair successor to DAO.

NapalmSanctuary2236d ago

Surely Twisted Metal 3&4 have earned a place on this list.

Lord of Shadows 2 was one that left me scratching my head because I loved the first one! Red Faction Armageddon was another one that I still wonder why they didn't just give us something more like Guerrilla.

Halo Wars 2 and 5 Strategy Games for Console That Also Weren't Rubbish

OX writes: "Halo Wars 2 is a Halo game in which instead of controlling one big space soldier, you control lots of little space soldiers from high above the battlefield. It's a real-time strategy game, yes. But aren't strategy games on consoles always terrible? Not always, as we discover in Show of the Week."
