Mercenaries 2 devs spotted with 360 gear

I really hope it is, i only played the original for a short while at a house party, but it was great fun. So i'm looking forward to getting stuck into the next rendition if it does come to the 360.

I played the first one to death on the Xbox, so:

w00t!

Please let it be true. I never got to finish the first one (damm it was hard) because i sold it with my xbox so i could get the 360 at launch.

Duh, I knew this months ago. Gametrailers put up the 1st dev videos over 6 months back and you can clearly see 360 controllers in the hands of several people "working" on mercs 2.

there was also another 360 that a lot of people didn't notice the guy who says he lost a ps3 at a company party has a 360 with a black faceplate (dev kit maybe) behind him with that huge white hard drive on top and then all of the employees have 360 controllers in their hands, so..

Count

Dev Kits = 2
360 Controllers =6

From their forums in a Thread titled "New! Official Developer Answers Thread!!"

"The following is a compilation of answers to questions from Scott Warner, Lead Designer on Mercs 2. "

"How much more advanced is the enemy AI? Do they work together better? Will they still fire an RPG at you point blank? And how is the allied AI improved?

It will be extremely improved. This will be one of the big innovations people notice not only with Mercs 2 but with a lot of games during the next generation. The 360 and the PS3 are capable of allowing us to do some groundbreaking A.I. development."

There are other mentions of the 360 in this tread too. I don't think this proves anything, but does fuel the fire.

They gotta add something to the mix for the sequel. The original was great, but by the end it had become really repetitive having fell into the trap many open world shooters do.

Please note if you look at the whiteboards there are PS3 AND 360 references, just use the pause button if you can't spot it.

Pretty obvious what they are up to.

I really hope they add some Multi player to the 360

We asked a few of the devs at E3 if Mercs2 was exclusive and they kind of smirked and said that development was being focused on the PS3 version, but that didn't mean other consoles wouldn't see the game as well.
