Ruffian Games and Paradox Interactive’s have revealed some brand new info on their upcoming 2D Shooter title, Hollowpoint. Developed by the same team behind Crackdown 2, Hollowpoint is a 2D side scrolling tactical combat title where levels are procedurally generated. The game boasts of features like co-op gameplay with full progression and customization options for characters.

Hollowpoint Creative director, Billy Thomson, has uploaded some more information on the game on the PlayStation Blog:

“The game is played in large 3D cross section environments, made up of multiple exterior areas, internal rooms and corridors, and stairwells that connect them all together — imagine a huge ant farm, but replace the ants with groups of well-armed men and women trying to kill each other with big guns.

The players are constrained along the 2D axis at the front of the scene near the cross section — or the glass of the ant farm — so they can move along the 2D plane running, jumping, grabbing, moving in and out of cover, etc. The Enemy has free reign of the full environments, they emerge from the distance and, depending on the enemy, they will find good cover positions to attack from or they move from cover to cover as they move towards the 2D plane where they are most dangerous.”

This seems like an interesting take on the co-op shooter genre. Billy has even revealed some details on the abilities that players will possess in Hollowpoint.

“Many of the Abilities that you have are team buffs that are transferred to any teammates who are within effective range when the Ability is activated, so activating them alone doesn’t allow them to be as effective as they could be. Every enemy kill that you or one of your teammates makes will provide a reward of XP and pickups for Ammo, Credits and Health. These exact same rewards are also given to any teammates who are close enough when the enemy is taken out.”
