Renegade Ops is an upcoming top-down vehicle-based shooter for Steam, PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade. Avalanche Studios announced the game on March 30, 2011

RENEGADE OPS puts players in a mobile commando unit sent behind enemy lines to defeat Inferno, a madman intent on global domination. Defeat enemies across a range of stunning environments using a wide variety of vehicles, from tanks armed to the teeth to fully loaded helicopters.

Players have the choice to fight alone in single player mode, team up offline with two-player split screen or join the dynamic 4-player online co-op experience. Blast your way through enemy lines by working together, or compete for achievements as you and your friends aim to top the online leader boards. Unleash your full arsenal of weapons and destroy anything that stands in your path as you battle to protect the free world in any way possible.

Madman Inferno, the commander of a sinister terrorist organisation, has detonated a devastating bomb to demonstrate the power of his new deadly weapon. Furious at the world’s leaders decision not to fight against Inferno, General Bryant has recruited a crack team of military specialists, known as the RENEGADE OPS, from around the globe to wage war against Inferno’s promise of world domination.

I'll be coming back to this thread updating as new info comes out. I made it a bit rough since there's a chance the game wont meet its supposed release. Again, release is September 13 on PSN according to some sites, but the steam page still says only "September 2011", so we cant know for sure..


How excited?

VERY

 

[glaurung]

I pre-ordered the game via PSN when I still had PSN+.

Now my PSN+ has expired. Am I fucked?

 

[DaBuddaDa]

Rumor is the PSN version is September 13th, and the XBLA and Steam versions are the 21st.

[Kinky John]

I traded in a free promo game on GMG and pre-ordered this for 23 pence the other day. :-D

 

[Dascu]

Oh, this is supposed to be out this month already? Cool cool.

 

[DaBuddaDa]

source?

Renegade Ops is a part of the PSN PLAY (Summer of Arcade) promotion and has been listed as the 13th for that service for a long time.

The 21st date for Steam was by a dev on their forums somewhere, I'll look for it.

yeah i was refering to this, thanks!

exclusivity ftl, but oh well

 

[Relax.MX]

I pre-ordered because the GAF Steam hypeThread without knowing something of the game, hopefully it's good

Nope. Only the free games you get from PSN+ stop working after your sub expires.

 

[Dead Prince]

won my copy through gaf contest. i am ready.

 

[duckroll]

Why isn't there a pre-load for this on Steam?

 

[Salsa]

By the way Steam has a ridiculous fourpack going on for $30, basically $7.5 per game. Fuckin bonkers, jump on it.

Excellent. EU-gaffers looking for co-op partners are welcome to add me on PSN.

As I said in that other thread, Green Man Gaming says the PC version is out on 23 September.

I made a thread about it when it first went up!

well, we are where we began basically. All we know is PSN is coming 13/14, so at least we'll be getting some reviews/impressions soon

 

[jet1911]

I've bought the game from GMG and I haven't received my code to activate it on Steam yet.

 

[duckroll]

Wait, it's not coming out next week? I was expecting it to unlock on Steam next week! Fffffffff.

PSN users

 

[LuchaShaq]

Victoria's secret 15$ off 100$ purchase ad here thanks google!


That said, pumped for this game since I saw the tiny tiny quick look.

 

[glaurung]

Market logic dictates that they will delay the game as much as possible, trying to ride the water behind September releases, but getting out before the October madness. My money would be on September 20th.

 

[Discotheque]

Probably gonna get it for PS3. Online community is shit for games like this on PC. Like really bad.

edit: oh damn but it's so much cheaper on steam....hmmm

 

[Dascu]

Is anyone hosting a 4-pack?

 

[Salsa]

I've bought the game from GMG and I haven't received my code to activate it on Steam yet.

same here!

i can wait though

 

[robot]

Pretty sure I say this in every Renegade Ops thread, but needs to be said again.

One of my favorite games of E3!

OMG THERE ARE CHOPPERS TOO! YEAAAAAAAAH LETS GO GO GO!

 

[duckroll]

If you like playing with strangers, sure. The cheap as hell 4-pack ensures that I'll have friends to play the game with on PC, and that's good enough for me.

 

[Gaspode_T]

Another of the games that looks close to what I imagined all games would be like in the distant future back in 8 bit days (the other being BloodRayne)

 

[Zeppelin]

Ah, totally forgot about this game. I remember the Quick Look looking real good. Also, I fucking love Jungle Strike! This game reminds me of exactly that game. I wonder if maybe I should go with the Steam version instead of the 360 version this time...

 

[Salsa]

yeah, this game just screams for a full playthrough with 3 buddies.

and then another playthrough in local mp with a friend!

and then!

 

[itsgreen]

Ooohhh would be totally hot for a XBLA Desert/Jungle/Urban Strike

 

[Salaadin]

Wow this is coming out already?

Now to decide on Steam or PSN. That 4 pack deal is tempting.

EDIT: Nice OT btw

 

[Seraphis Cain]

Day one. Should probably go ahead and pre-order, actually.

 

[sixteen-bit]

This looks interesting. I'll give the demo a try.

 

[DaBuddaDa]

Watch 5 minutes of the Quick Look and you will be sold, guaranteed. Game looks sick.

 

[Discotheque]

EDIT: Nice OT btw

if you go on 4 pack message me, I'll be down for it (and hopefully y'all will be willing to play online soon)

 

[Metalmurphy]

Have it pre-ordered on Steam, can't wait for it to unlock!

Looks like an awesome co-op game.

 

[Salsa]

no demo yet, but the quicklook will be more than enough!

 

[Salaadin]

if you go on 4 pack message me, I'll be down for it (and hopefully y'all will be willing to play online soon)

Edit: Got in another 4 pack. Thanks

 

[Salsa]

Added upgrades trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLuzzib5qJM) to the OP. Missed that one. Voiceover is great, lol.

 

[GeoramA]

First DD game I ever pre-ordered. Give it to me, Avalanche!

 

[Twinduct]

Pre-ordered on GMG .. can't wait for the code to be sent! Funding my Just Cause 3 (Let me go into space :0)

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Tbh I'm kind of bummed this is in vehicles only. Choppers - awesome but jeeps, buggies - meh.

If this was on foot it'll be like next gen Commando, Ikari Warriors, Mercenaries, Shock Troopers.

I'm bit more sold on Gatling Gears.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

This one is going to be damn good. I have it pre-ordered on Steam and may pick it up on PSN. I hope there's a demo on PSN so I can check it out before it hits PC.

 

[Artadius]

Just Cause 2 engine (whatever it is actually called) is the best engine this generation

Really looking forward to this game

 

[GeoramA]

This game is basically a tribute to the Strike Series. On-foot gameplay would be heresy.

Shit ain't isometric.

Isn't meat of the game the ground vehicles? Choppers seem like a bonus.

 

[RoaringHawk]

Can't wait for this. The trailer when It first came up on Steam was too much for me.

Please do a preload Avalanche

 

[Firebrand]

This game is basically a tribute to the Strike Series.

I'm thinking SWIV / Silkworm myself.

Pre-ordered at GMG at $10 just for the co-op, because co-op makes everything better.

 

[Snuggles]

Dammit Salsa, I was gonna make this. Oh well.

I will buy this game.
