We waited a long time for the sequel to Resistance, the sci-fi shooter on the PlayStation 3. According to a preview from 1Up, it looks like the game isn't in any danger of being delayed so we won't have to wait any longer than we have to.
According to the preview, Resistance 2's single-player maps and the co-op campaign are already running thanks to a new initiative from the developers:
Unbelievable as it may seem, Insomniac claims that more or less all of the single-player maps are finished and running in a rough state. This is largely due to a new initiative from the developer that has them focusing on building the gameplay first and then adding art assets and balance tweaks later. Large portions of the co-op campaign are also confirmed to be running, so that fall 2008 release date is looking pretty much like a certainty now.
This is certainly welcome news since Resistance 2 is a pretty ambitious project. In the initial announcement of its release, Resistance 2 has been revealed to have 8-man co-op and supports up to a whopping 60 players in multiplayer mode.
Here's some other details you'll find interesting for co-op and multiplayer modes. In co-op, you won't be able to choose a difficulty level. Rather, the game's difficulty will increase depending on your team's skill and rank.
Also, a system will be implemented where you'll be able to hook up with random players online for co-op play. If you left the game at a certain point in the story, you'll be able to hook up with others who also left off at the same point.
In multiplayer mode, you don't have to worry about the battlefield being too saturated with players. (60 is a big number). Players will be split into six-to-eight member squads. Some areas will induce fighting an a large scale, but most will be "smaller skirmishes."
