Kotaku has had a chance to experience Army of Two: The 40th Day first hand. How does over 8,000 weapon combinations, pre-combat planning, and their new AI feature called "enemy symmetry."
For more on The 40th Day, head on over to Kotaku's preview. Army of Two: The 40th Day is slated for release on January 12, 2010 across the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PSP consoles.
Turner says The 40th Day will have some 8,000 combinations, including some special "homebrew" additions.
Turner showed a handful of those during our preview, including a pair of bayonets made from a screwdriver and a kitchen knife, a stock that appeared to be fashioned out of scrap metal, and a suppressor made from a soda can. Some of those will be found in the world of Army of Two, not from the in-game store. Whether players will actually covet some of these D.I.Y. parts remains to be seen.(...)
Turner talked at this point about "enemy symmetry," the feature that supposedly gives Army of Two: The 40th Day's AI-controlled bad guys the same abilities that the player has. That includes taking cover and the ability to feign death, making it harder than facing a group of baddies that simply run and gun, hoping to overwhelm you with force.
