Geoff Keighley of GT TV recently rounded up members of Insomniac Games' crew for a Q&A session regarding Resistance 2. Insomniac president Ted Price was among those present, and was more than happy to introduce some new details regarding the game.

For starters, Price noted that by the time Resistance 2 begins, game protagonist Sgt. Nathan Hale only has 19 hours to live. Price didn't explain how or why this is the case, though it certainly adds intensity to Hale's plot, even as he once again enters the fray against the chimeras. Here are some of the other interesting tidbits Insomniac mentioned in the video - don't worry, there are no plot spoilers:
  • Focuses on Hale - he's got 19 hours to live
  • One boss in Resistance 2 is 300 feet tall
  • No pullouts to show narration - it all within Hale's perspective
  • Hale isn't the only soldier immune to the Chimeran virus
  • Starts two years after Resistance: Fall of Man
  • Eight-player Co-op campaign, with specialized roles
  • Setting: Downtown Chicago and San Francisco
  • The Hailstorm's gone
  • No vehicles for the multi-player bouts
And lest we forget, expect to see generous amounts of gameplay footage, which should give you an idea of how far along the title is in development. Aside from Resistance 2, expect to see some extra clips discussing THQ's upcoming game based on the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), and Activision's Guitar Hero: Aerosmith (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii). Grab a chair, maybe a drink, and enjoy the video!
