Seconded on the hope to see the PSP game come over. It’s great to finally have EDF here on PS3 for big-screen bug bashing, and a portable companion would be even better.

These downloadable games are putting some disk based games to shame. Looks like a purchase to me

It’s me again, if your still taking questions I have one last one..

All of the footage I have seen of the game has been on the Xbox 360 from GDC, will you show any PS3 footage at PAX? I assume the 360 is your main platform so I’m just curious on how the port is going.

Kevin, it’s a little different.

Most of your weapons are purchase. As you earn points, you earn XP and credits. XP used for upgrades and Credits used to buy weapons.

Now, some of the crazier weapons can only be found as drops. Elite enemies (Bomber Spiders, Hectors, etc.) will drop random, drop-only weapons. These are totally random. You can be playing a level 1 Jet Armor and find a level 6 Trooper Armor weapon. Similar to how it works in Borderlands, you may end up finding something that you can’t use right away, but something that you’re sure as hell looking forward to using once your character reaches that level!

I hope that clears it up.

maybe i just loved the rpg element of farming to try and get something valuable but i heard you kept the weapon drops in the game–does it work the same way as the first where every enemy has a chance to drop a weapon and its random as to if you find something new?

Kevin, since you asked nicely, I’ll put in a good word with the programmers. =)

J/K… you can play all modes in either split screen, single player, or online. That includes Survival Mode, too!

this game is going to be great–thank you very much for listening to our comments about split screen and adding it!

1 important question, since i will be playing this game in split screen will you include split screen for survival mode too please?
