Eidos Announces Conflict: Denied Ops

Eidos Announces Conflict: Denied Ops

Paramilitary wannabes will soon get their chance to tromp through South America with guns blazing in the latest installment in the Conflict series. Eidos Interactive announced Conflict: Denied Ops, the fifth game in the series, on Monday.

Denied Ops will be a cooperative first person shooter, meaning players control a two-man team instead of a lone soldier. Each has specialized weapons and tactics, and players will be able to quickly switch between them to execute team tactics like laying down covering fire, exploring diverging paths, and creating distractions.

Pivotal Games, which has developed all four previous titles in the Conflict series, will also handle Denied Ops. This time around, their proprietary Puncture Technology will give the game a highly destructible environment, allowing players to blaze their own paths or create the perfect sniping spot with a little explosive handiwork.

“We are taking the Conflict series in a new direction, making it more explosive and mature,” said Robert Lindsey, executive vice president of sales and marketing at Eidos, in a statement. “Conflict: Denied Ops delivers large-scale Hollywood style action sequences in real-world political hot spots, sure to appease fans of the FPS genre.”

Conflict: Denied Ops is slated for a spring 2008 release on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows PC.

World of Goo 2 might just be the Nintendo Switch’s next must-own co-op game
A built structure in World of Goo 2.

When I sat down to demo World of Goo 2 at this year’s GDC, I noted to the developers on hand how surprising it was to see a sequel after so long. “It’s been, what? Ten years?” I said. I was very far off the mark: They noted that the original World of Goo launched in 2008. After playing a few levels (and having an existential crisis over time’s rapid passing), I’d find myself wondering how such an obvious slam dunk didn’t come sooner.

Like its predecessor, World of Goo 2 is a physics-based puzzle game where players craft structures from little, gooey critters. It presents a series of engineering challenges, as poorly built structures will topple under the weight of all those jiggly little pals. Rather than reinventing that concept entirely, World of Goo 2 adds some wild new ideas onto that stable structure that opens up its puzzle potential. The result is a chaotic co-op game that’s a perfect fit for the Nintendo Switch.
