so, after the disappointment that was Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon (save for the Inferno ending), they've gone ahead and announced Earth Defense Force 4 for them Japanese folk for PS3 and 360 with online co-op. it's by Sandlot, the dudes who made EDF2017, and pretty much every other EDF game except EDF:IA. thank god for that.

anyway. i'm crossing my fingers that this game comes to North America because i absolutely adored EDF2017 and EDF:IA was fun for a bit before i realized how boring it actually was.

edit: oops. it looks like this was announced a year ago and it's only being detailed now. nice going, me. well.. there ya go! online co-op. could somebody also attach this to the EDF4 page please?

Hmm... hope this one is good. The second one was underwhelming.

Really, all I needed was online, 4 players, and more enemy types. And possibly more varied levels, but thats a mute point when every building is just flattened within a few minutes anyways.

Glad to see Sandlot back at the helm.

I liked insect Armageddon but there wasn't enough enemy variety and it got boring after a while. Especially fighting those giant mechs that take like ten minutes to kill.

Insect Armageddon was a real disappointment, looking forward to this now though!

As long as it doesn't turnout like that boring shit fest Insect armageddon, then its all good.

Excellent! EDF 2017 was a real unexpected gem and one of my favorite games of this generation. Sadly, I'm part of the crowd that wasn't a fan of IA, I think it just lacked the scale 2017 had which really took away a lot of the magic. Hopefully with Sandlot behind this, it'll be back to the good old days of you, a rocket launcher, and 1000 giant red ants!

I just hope this has another level where you get to fight off an invasion of giant robots rising up from the sea. That was totally the best level in 2017.
