So why the change? What is the social significance of the forearm bump? Is it a sign of greater manliness, or are the characters in Army of Two simply trying to fight the spread of deadly germs? Please, contribute your theories in the comments.

Damn, I love the fist bump. Oh well, that won't stop me from buying the game.

I don't think that trailer had anything new in it, but still can't wait for this game. I'm kinda upset the back to backs are, well back again. Those things sucked.

I did like the first Army of Two, but it had some problems. I hope this game is way better.

I shit you not, it was that awkward fist bump Michelle Obama gave Barack during his acceptance speech (or whatever the hell that was.) Me and my best friend had a few moves for our greetings and departures and stuff, but when you see the white news lady give a similarly awkward fist bump to the asian news lady, well, it's kinda time to go. I blame you, Michelle. But at least we had a good run with it.

Who, Michelle or the white news lady?

I'm sure they've kept the fistbump, that's probably just a variation.
If not, expect the masses to be calling for a patch.

The "bro button" (as I like to call it) from the first Army of Two was the thing that made it more than just another third-person shooter featuring co-op and a cover system. The more they move away from that theme with the sequel the worse the game is going to be. The first game enjoyed very solid sales, I would argue BECAUSE of this feature, not in spite of it, hopefully they haven't listened to the haters and cowards too much on this count.
Adding a Rock-Paper-Scissors move was a pretty good move though, hopefully it's more of an extension of the original and less of a replacement.

It's the way of the future bro, you don't even know!

Pfffssst...whatever. I like the fist bump. It gives the game character. Which is what the game was about to begin with.
If it gets all serious in terms of story, where does it leave this game? It'll be generic. Even if from a coding standpoint, it's superb.
The people who hated this game were the idiots who didn't bother playing it with a friend. It may not have been a beautiful development process (I've heard from an insider that the creation of this game was a complete "goat-phuck"), but what they came out with, in the end was fun an enjoyable, despite its technical issues (the most notable being that all the guns felt similar, and the suppressors didn't seem to do anything).

Yeah, this is a franchise that definitely would not benefit from a "darker, more serious tone".
The lightheartedness of the first one was what set it apart.
warrenEBB @ Nov 10th 2009 11:50AM
wowzers. Haven't played the first. But this trailer looks like "Manhunt 3" (but from the hunters perspective). Which makes this one eyebrow on the right side of my face kind of arch up. in the intruiged sort of way. (in the good way?)
Dr. steve brule @ Nov 10th 2009 2:03PM
just give me a full game with the co-op from splintercell pandora tomorrow or the other good co-op one, thanks.
