About this demo-conference

[In English]

« How can we create coop moves that the players gonna experient? »

An ambitious project, “Army of Two” is EA’s first project entirely designed and developed in Montreal. It’s ambitious because Ao2 is completely reinventing the concept of collaboration. To advance, it’s imperative that the players work in teams. The principal challenge resides in the fact that networked connections do not hinder the flow of the game. The artificial intelligence used in the game is based on the concept of “aggro”. The robots go after the best-performing player, not necessarily the one furthest ahead.

EA Montreal is promoting the concept and its use for entertainment. The enterprise has broken new ground and affirms that the Montreal development studio will be an integral part of EA’s future projects.
