When speaking to Eurogamer recently, Cameron Brown, Pandemic’s creative director said the game is “specifically designed for the PS2 and the limitations of the platform, so it doesn’t have co-op, for example, and is a little more designed around the hardware”.

“The two games are loosely connected; they have the same story, the same characters, we shared assets. But they filled out an entirely separate game world and reinterpreted a lot of the mission designs,” Brown added.

We should see then game released on August 31st in North America.
