" I loved the Mercs single player experience (both Mercs 1 and Mercs 2, despite the latter's technical issues)... "

Only exciting thing about that entire trailer was the music and it's only because it was absurdly loud and nonsensical. You put some Johan Sebastien Bach in there and suddenly the graphics stop looking good and you notice it's not even running at 40FPS. Oh the power of the guitar and anorexic bisexual frontmen whose pants constrict the blood in their nether regions.

This was the only way I think they coulda gotten me interested in Mercs again.  After being heart-broken by the second installment, I could have cared less about another Mercs.  This at least looks interestin'.

Mercs 1 was fantastic, Mercs 2 got way too boring

I'd play it. I loved the first two.

So this is a PSP game right? 
 
Oh no I didn't!

After the awful shit that was Mercs 2 I think ill pass. . . Bad thing about Mercs 2 is I ran it on the computer and my computer is no slouch and it ran like crap.

WHY WOULD THEY SHUT DOWN A STUDIO WORKING ON CHOICE CUTS LIKE THIS?!!

"I'm glad the announcement was because of the leaked trailer, otherwise this would've been in fucking awful taste.  And the trailer looks pretty uninteresting.  I'll be buying The Saboteur though. "

I need a proper sequel to Mercenaries, Mercs 2 doesn't count for obvious reasons.

Feel even worse for the people who just lost their jobs. Fire them and then announce the game they were working on? That's rough.

yeah id much rather they use mercs 2 tech and refine that and make a whole new game, I loved mercs 1, and i loved mercs 2 mercs 2 looked good for what it was, had some problems but if they were to refine it so it runs at a smooth 30-60 fps, defaulted at 720p and refined the engine so it has not so many bugs then id love it.

Is it just me or does this game look even less impressive than the last game? Considering this won't be out until next year, that'll be something close to two years since the second mercs game came out. One would think the technology would've been refined by now, not degraded.

This sounds like such a weird game, and it is being announced at such a weird time. EA doesn't announce games in pre-production, EA just closed Pandemic, and this sounds like the worst idea ever...

and to add salt to the injury it is "using what appears to be Mercenaries 2 technology."    
 
YUP. 

I'll definitely be waiting for the reviews on this one, after the massive dissapointment of Mercs. 2

I had a lot of fun with Mercenaries 2 except the part where you interact with the helicopter guy. Whenever I needed a lift from the PMC we would all of the sudden be out of bounds and I would have to medvac if I wanted to keep my gear or else I would die. Every time I would call him out in the field he would fuck up too. When it came to getting lift I would be booted out of the chopper when selecting a place on the map for almost half of my attempts to go somewhere. When airlifting supplies he would just hover there and do nothing at the same amount of attempts as it took to go somewhere. As long as they fix that in the next game then Im all for it.

Did the video get pulled?

So EA destroyed Pandemic and scooped up the IP?
 
Everything old is new again!

looks more shallow than the other Mercenary games. looks like a typical console game

Mercs 2 engine was shit.
 
I'll forgive you EA if you debut Dead Space 2

I'm at the point where I would rather see EALA make a new Boom Blox over a new Mercenaries.

Ugh....this is what they are doing? Come on, bring back the fun of the first game with better technology. No one wants a multiplayer-focused Mercs game.

I logged into vimeo but it still won't play!! AAAHH!!!

Trailer is private.

Aww. Missed it.

It uses the Mercenaries 2 engine?
Oh no...

But is a private video....WTF

Meh, stuff like this confirms to me why Pandemic went under. The footage looks like crap.  
 
And am I cruel and heartless because I don't give a shit that a second-rate developer crashed and burned? People get laid off every single day; it's called America.

poor 
pandemic  in 2005 there look shit hot now they ips are beeen raped

No-one wants a multiplayer focused Mercs game. Way to miss the point EA.

this seems in really poor taste for EA. Can even wait for the dust to settle from the Pandemic layoffs, then go ahead and announce a new game from the studio itself. 
 
Dirty.

EALA doing a Mercs game? Well, they managed to kill C&C and MoH, why not go for Mercs too? :\

I don't have permission to watch this video

Trailer is gone.

What? private video.

Video, anyone?

 the game seems kind of cool but has no business being in the mercs universe. looks like GTA's online.

Uh oh! This video no longer exists! Or so it says for me, anyways.

 
 
OPVideoRemoved
 
  

Why show a badly made video, with lacking graphics? Simple. To distract people from Pandemic shutting down, and offering a product instead.

Ah, too late.

i had more fun playing the last one than i did playin gta4
