Four polygonal ships rendered on the same screen ...
at the same time?! On August 6, Bizarre will prove the impossible
possible when
Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 bursts onto Xbox Live Arcade. The sequel features a "remixed" version of the original game, along with 5 additional game modes: Waves (from
PGR4), Pacifism (Achievement Evolved!), and newcomers King, Deadline, and Sequence. Each game mode supports up to 4 players locally (read: not online), for either 2-vs-2 or every polygon for itself gameplay. Additionally,
GWRE2 will feature a Co-Pilots mode, where one player steers and the other shoots. As expected, all those particles still add up, as online leaderboards make a return -- hey
K4rn4ge, you still got it?
Bizarre will reveal further details leading up to the game launch, including info on new enemy types and 12 new achievements -- and hopefully ... a price!
400 points, pretty please?

4 players? My head just exploded like that screenshot!
Now lets keep the game at 400 points MS!

No online co-op? Hope that gets added.
Either way, this game is going to be awesome.

Online co-op for this is impossible. The slightest lag will crucify players.
A price point of less than $10 is also impossible-- how many people paid $40 for GW:Galaxies?
That said, I do not consider either of those things to be even remotely enough reason not to buy this. I only hope my 360 is back from the repair center by then.
Vcize @ Jul 14th 2008 9:36PM
Price-point isn't an issue for me. I'd pay the full $60 for it. Knowing that it will probably be quite a bit less than that is just icing on the cake.

How many is this like 5 Geometry Wars games??? Man they are milking this game. I guess they are just trying to get up to the level of Super Stardust HD...

You do realize they made a full retail release for 40$ last year on the Wii (and DS) called Geometry Wars: Galaxies? Heard good things about it too.

Not sure whether Co-pilotting would be a nice addition or not :/. However, I like the new multi-player option hope it gets on Live too.

Will this have all the levels that are in the Wii version?
