Army of Two III in development, ditches Unreal 3.0 for Frostbite 2?

There have been recent rumors that the engine is also set to power Mirror Edge's next outing as well. This however might not be the only EA title to use the engine. We found a profile that might point to the direction that the next iteration of Army of Two might be in development and will feature the rendering powers of Frostbite 2.0

Army of Two III... Why not just call it Army of III and add a third person to the crew? Anyways, hope it doesn't suck as bad a s the second game. The first is still the best.

[Solid_Malone]

yeah, i was thinking the same, it should be called Army of Three instead of Army of Two 3.

I'd be amazing to see them use the frostbite engine aswell as the ANT engine.

[jony_dols]

Is Frostbite 2.0 set to be the next generation's Unreal 3?

I hope EA encourage their studios to use their own independent engines rather than reusing FrB 3.0 in all their games....

[disturbing_flame]

Really sick of Unreal engine so it would not bother me.

[DrFUD]

If this is true it might be a looker.
If it's one of the better looking games on market maybe people will try it just because of that and that's not going to happen sticking with the Unreal engine.
Because let's be real...
Nobody is dumb enough to claim any Unreal engine game is one of the best looking titles this gen unless they are 360 fanboys who try to use Gears because that's what fanboy goggles do - they make Gears one of the most impressive looking games out. LOL

[Boletarian]

cry more

[madjedi]

Can you be any more lame than that.

[AngryHippo]

Really?! gears 3 does look amazing in my opinion and so does arkham asylum and I'm sure more than a few others feel the same. Do you honestly not think so?! I think fanboy goggles work both ways!

[Dart89]

They might as well start using FB 2 on all their games :D.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

I think EA has mandated that all games now must use Frostbite 2.0 if its from an internal developer. No complaints so far but then again...I haven't really played a game yet on Frostbite 2. I am curious to see how games like Need For Speed will handle the engine.

[Solid_Malone]

yeah definitely agree with you, but it is a very cost effective solution for them to use their own built engines.

[gamingdroid]

I would be surprised if they didn't, because Unreal would cost them a pretty penny while Frostbite will not. Of course that will cause some delay in pushing out titles though... new technical stuff and moving all the stuff over.

[Persistantthug]

There are some EA developers which do use their own engines.

I don't think EA corp is forcing Visceral, for example, to use Frostbyte if Visceral is fine with their own.

[Cpt_kitten]

hopefully it will be good instead of dude and bro doing the same things over and over for 4 hours

the first one i tolerated just barely when my brother played as well

[a_bro]

i think Frostbite should be EA's Engine of choice from here on out. why spend so much money to develop it just to use another engine thats just crap compared to the superior Frostbite 2?

im glad black box adopted it for NFS.

DICE really made such a gorgeous engine this time.

[Drekken]

They should replace the engine and the crappy dev that makes the game. Talk about a game with the most wasted potential and AoT tops the list.

[jaymart]

Sad thing is, time the next gen consoles come out, Frost-Bite 2.0 graphics will be out dated.

So bring on Frost-Bite 3.0

[a_bro]

its next-gen ready. it wont.

[jaymart]

This game is like a 1st next gen game. Graphics will improve like they do every year.

[Reborn]

If true, lets see what they can do.

I'm sure DICE may lend some input too. Which is usually nice.

[MilkMan]

Excellent news if true.
and I hope it is.
..oh and I like Army of Two, so I'm glad to see this IP is getting another game and I HOPE gamers buy it and I hope they expand on the decision making they dabbled on in The 40th Day.

[Quagmire]

Yeah, I preferred the first game to the second game. The second was seriously wtf from start to finish, hope they go back to the original style.

[BlmThug]

The game is still going to be crap no matter hat engine it uses

[sickpup]

I'm sure it will be a sub title and not Army of Two 3. I think the second one was far less glitchy and a slightly better aspect to the weapon customization and gameplay. I would like to see better camera angles or a free camera in the next one instead of the over the shoulder. I'm not a fan of that in Gears either.
