Mercenaries 2 delivers the goods with 'Improvise' trailer

by Alexander Sliwinski { Jul 9th 2008 at 2:00AM }

After what feels like countless delays, the new trailer for Mercenaries 2 rekindles our hope that the latest release date of Aug. 31 for the game actually sticks. The video gives examples of a couple different ways to complete missions within the game, from being all stealth-like to just going in guns blazing.

There's something disturbingly satisfying about the idea that, if a mission goes south while trying to sneak through it, the option of just flipping out and destroying everything is still on the table. Check out the video after the break.

Wow that looks terrible. People complained about the graphics in GTA IV but the trailer looks like a last-gen xbox game.

+1

good grief. Did i ever get let down here. I was eagerly awaiting a real franchise update...so much for that

The first mercenaries game was one of my fave games last generation. This game takes the crap out (Now you can swim and knock down trees! SCREW YOU MOTHER NATURE!) put tons of awesome stuff in (Customizable vehicles!) and upgrades it to next gen (HUGE SCALE!)

Yeah, i'm excited... Now only if they made it less BROWN.

arrrgh @ Jul 9th 2008 9:04AM

i dont mind if it's brown as long as they actually put some animations into the game. I feel like i'm watching the gingerbread man's take on mercenaries

Is this one going to get completely stale and boring about halfway through too?

Vidikron (FU) @ Jul 9th 2008 11:09AM

Did you quit the last one before going to the next area? About half way through the first one you change locations and get access to all kinds of new vehicles. I thought the first game was great start to finish. Much more entertaining than any GTA game, IMO.

That's what I'm saying! This game is going to be awesome for us :D

I'm sure Loco Hugo will speak about it though, and I'm gonna see Jack Thompson incarnated in him.

You know, as if we didn't have enough trouble already, we have to focus on evil videogames from the empire!! xDD oh the idiots...
