Gameloft Podcast #9 – ‘Modern Combat 2’ Details and ‘Star Battalion’ Announced

Gameloft recently released another episode of their series of podcasts, which like most of their podcasts includes some new tidbits about upcoming games. It also includes quite a bit of Real Golf 2011 [$6.99], so if you’re not interested in that feel free to skip to about 2:30 in the video.

Last week we posted about Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus, and this podcast includes a brief clip of the incredibly corny trailer along with some additional details. Aside from refining the original controls, they’re also packing in a gyro control option. There are going to be 3 playable characters across 12 battlefields and players will have access to 15 different weapons which can be tweaked with various accessories. They’re also calling it the “most complete multiplayer FPS on the App Store."

In addition, Gameloft also teased an upcoming developer diary of Dungeon Hunter 2 and revealed a new space shooter called Star Battalion which looks a lot like the upcoming Galaxy on Fire 2 by Fish Labs. One incredibly intriguing component of Star Battalion is the inclusion of online coop gameplay, since really, coop play makes everything more fun.

We’ll keep an eye out for more information on these games, but historically by the time Gameloft starts showing games off like this, their release isn’t too far off.
