Shank Will Feature Local Co-Op

The back-story to the main single-player game in Shank will be told through a local co-op campaign.

Local co-op is good, but online is really the way companies should start focusing on. Yes, it's more work, but the consumers appreciate it.

Which is unfortunate. Tell me what is the point of owning a console if games were only to enable 1 player per console with online co-op? The games differ obviously, but people may as well get a suped up computer next generation if this online co op only continues.

Developers should cover all bases by having offline and online co-op rather then just one or the other. They shouldnt forget about offline co-op, its the only legitimate reason to own a console.

That being said i prob wont get this.lol

No im not a PC elitist. I have a shit pc but own a ps3,360 & wii.

I have to agree with nvm1987. Developers are focusing too much on online play to the detriment of those of us who enjoy couch coop. I'm glad to see that Shank will incorporate this, much as Trine did.

A great example of good co-op on a 2d platformer is Earthworm Jim HD imho. Great local, and great online. Its clear companies focus on online multilayer, but for games like Shank and such, local is very important. But there should be online also.

I love how all the arcade games got local co-op. I greatly enjoyed playing Trine and Deathspank with friends when they came over on local co-op.

Agree.

Trine and DeathSpank are both a 9s in my book, but what the hell is up with the uselessness of the wizards? Can't a bearded man get a sword?

Very nice, co-op is always welcome.
