Mercs, Inc appears to be a sequel to Mercenaries under development at EA. The trailer below, which is apparently a couple of months old, has only just surfaced via a leaked LinkedIn profile. The game, currently being pitched for PS3 and Xbox 360 looks to have multiplayer options and some kind of sandbox setting.
Looks like precisely the sort of thing that would go down very well with our TSA Community – lots of guns, explosions and plenty of belly laughs when you see mates flying over your head. Digging the graphics style, too – so let’s hope this one ends up on the shelves so we can all have a go.

Looks better than the failure that was the last one. Hopefully it will have enough development time invested in it in order to make sure it feels like a fully finished game this time

Yea I agree, first one was great but second was terrible.
The video looks good so far so fingers crossed

Yeah, the PS3 effort was poor IMO, so let’s hope they get it right this time!! The trailer looks promising.

I wonder who is developing that – Mercenaries was a Pandemic game and there’s not many of them left.

BOOM! Headshot!

My thoughts exactly. This looks like It’s had a fair bit of dev time so It’s either a now cancelled Pandemic project or the IP was given to another EA dev.

EA retained all the titles even though they got rid of most of the Pandemic staff, so I guess the one’s that didn’t go were working on this

The first one rocked! Though the second wasn’t that good (opinion entirely based on the demo)

apparently this was to be pandemic’s next game but has since been cancelled.

hopefully if ea retain the rights they can take the work that’s been done already and finish the game.

I think I just noticed something really cool! At 00:33 that guy is runned over by the car, but I think he was shooting while being run over by the car. Niiice. Could this engine be euphoria?
