In a first look exclusive interview with Edge magazine, PopCap have discussed why it's taken soo long for a sequel to the 2009 PC sensation that was Plants vs. Zombies and what we can expect from the new title. The four year hiatus has obviously not gone unnoticed by the studio and while the games title "It's About Time" seemingly pokes fun at the fact, it's actually also the main theme behind the game, that is to say time travelling. The first piece of big news regarding PvZ2 is that it will be coming first and exclusively to mobile devices, PopCap are planning to release it for other platforms in the future but we're not given any sort of schedule. I'm actually really disappointed with this news, I do agree that PvZ was a lot of fun to play on a touch screen device but at the same time I think the PC version was a lot smoother and so that's my platform of choice. The second piece of big news (unfortunately also bad) is that PopCap are releasing PvZ2 as a free-to-play game, couple this with the fact they are now owned by EA and I bet you're starting to have reservations just like I am. Obviously it's slightly unfair to pass judgement before I've played the game but if history has taught us anything, free-to-play does not benefit the gamer and EA makes terrible decisions when publishing games. Anyway, I've linked the article below so if you want to read the whole thing yourself and/or have sneak peak at some of the new plant types and garden arenas, then scroll down for the PDF. For those that just want a quick summary, I'll highlight what I believe to be the important points.
