Mercs 2 to be published by EA.
Today, though, BioWare/Pandemic revealed it has struck a deal with one of the most traditional publishers of all, Electronic Arts. The agreement will see EA distribute, sell, and market Mercenaries 2 worldwide through its EA Partners program much like it does Valve Software's hit shooter Half-Life 2. According to a press release from the publisher, the game is set for a holiday 2007 release, and is still exclusive to the PS3.

It's not so bad. At least this time around they'll get some marketing.

They had plenty of marketing for the first game, I saw commercials on ESPN all the time. As a result, Mercs was the top selling multiplatform game in the month it released, by a fair margin IIRC.
Oddworld: Strangers Wrath. You'd think they'd have learned their lesson.When was the last time an EA published game was an exclusive? During the Dreamcast era?
I'm sure it'll be on 360.

Ah. Well there was virtually none over here.
I hope they include the Burnout 3 DJ.

Say Ahhh
It's official! Mercenaries 2 on PS3, XB360, PC, and...PS2!?!
Source“Mercenaries 2: World in Flames delivers the next evolution in explosive open world gameplay – regardless of the system you play it on,” said Pandemic Studios CEO Andrew Goldman. “All four platforms are incredible gaming machines, and from the beginning we designed an experience that accentuates their individual strengths and delivers the interactive freedom and explosive action Mercenaries fans demand.”
Time for a change
spring up speed up
I wonder what strengths individual to the PS2 will be accentuated by PS2 Mercenaries 2.

The interesting thing about the EA deal, according to the IGN interview, is that Pandemic was able to keep the IP rights to Mercenaries. Pandemic definitely got the better end of the deal (excellent distribution system, no ass rape).
