Resistance 2 confirmed for Fall 2008 - Image 1 


No more speculations and no more rumors, Resistance 2 has finally been confirmed for the PlayStation 3 and it's bigger than ever. The latest issue of GameInformer gives us the details for the highly anticipated sequel to Resistance: Fall of Man.

According to GameInformer, Resistance 2 is going to be bigger than the first one, supporting up to eight players in online campaign mode (two for offline campaign mode) and up to 60 players in multiplayer mode.

Visuals are also getting a major upgrade with new lighting, shaders, and compilers. Resistance 2 will also be able to show more enemies on screen and with better AI too. Enemies will be smarter and more cunning in this game.

Resistance 2 will follow the story of Hale, who was shot down in Iceland and escapes to the US. All in all, the sequel sounds more epic than the first game. Check out the latest issue of GameInformer for the complete feature.

Thanks to Quixand for the tip!

 » idk bout better then killzone 2

I'll need to see more of it cause these pictures look kinda frizzy (I guess its because it came from the magazine). I'd rather wait to see some gameplay b4 I jump to that conclusion.

 » I think resistance could have

Done somthing like this the first time around, but they were rushing to make the release date of the PS3. I knew it would be something great like this when the second one comes out.

 » i tell you man

i'll give you major props if you could name me a launch game on the 360 that comes even close to Resistance.

Resistance 2 is going to own, you can't expect anything less from Insomiac... 2008 is nothing but PS3.

and QJ thanks for the love man...

   Re: Eclipze_ - 2008-01-11
 » um

Resistance was rushed, even tho still look at the quality of the game (its basically lag free), first console game to have 40 player online, great story, gameplay, and guns.

This time around tho they dont have to rush themselves to reach the release date so they can actually take time and work to make this one even way more better then the last.

I didnt mean it in a bad way what I said up there, I just mean that the first Resistance was crazy (even tho it was rushed.. not insomniacs fault) but now imagine how crazy the second one will be!

   Re: Quixand - 2008-01-11
 » i know what you mean man

know u didn't mean anything bad, and i also agree with your assessment of resistance but still as i said even with all that you still can't find anything on the 360 that rivals resistance as a launch game, hell resistance is even better than most games released on the 360 a year or so after it's launch...

and when you get your brand new PS3, and you pop in resistance for your very first next-gen experience... it just blows you away man.

 » Yea

I remember I played resistance for the first time on when I got my PS3 in january, The game was so damn fun.

 » OH F**K YEAH!

Hells yeah! Do you realize that if the game drops say... november 08... that 3 huge hitting, well polished games from insoniac in just 2 years!

All hail INSOMNIAC!


   Re: Quixand - 2008-01-11
 » you're right about that Hush

this developer couldn't have picked a better name for themselves!!!!

this got me thinking what kind of weapons are we going to have in Resistance???? i'm ready to be surprised.

   Re: Eclipze_ - 2008-01-11
 » I heard

That theres going to be classes, so like you can shoot far with the bullseye or somthing.

The mic's are supposed to be cell phone quality.
And I heard the maps are going to be destructable, or they change over time or somthing like that.

   Re: Quixand - 2008-01-11
 » maybe it's time

they should give the black dude (the 2nd player in offline multiplayer) a name in resistance 2... the guy is just not getting any love.

and to top it off he always gets shot by Nathan (cause the players want to see if they could kill it)... hehehe...

give the guy some love!!!! give him a couple of one-liners here and there.

   Re: hush404 - 2008-01-13
 » RE quixand

lol, i know right? He's just the nameless black guy who does 1/2 the work and doesnt even get included in the cutscenes!

I remember playing and my lil brother commented "this game is racist as f**k" :P
   by Payka - 2008-01-11
 » lol

I was thinking the exact same thing quixand.
And I wonder where he goes in the cutscenes?

 » PS3 has 08

Theres nothing that can stop it.
In game XMB
Home
All these games, Mgs4, Killzone 2, Resistance 2, Littlebigplanet.

60 players online! No one so far on any console has beat Resistance fall of man's 40 player online. Now NO 1 will even touch it with 60 player online.
& I know lag wont be a problem because I've played 40 player resistance matchs with no problem at all. I think Insomniac must know somthing about the PS3 that others dont lol.


   Re: hush404 - 2008-01-13
 » well

Insomniac + gawds.
