Gamespot reports :-
"Resistance 2 will be a much bloodier game than the original. To help demonstrate this, Schneider showed off a brand new weapon: the Splicer. This weapon allows you to shoot 15 saw blades per round, but it also supports an alternate fire where you can charge it up for a superpowered attack that lodges the blade in an enemy and simply continues to spin until he dies. The gun was demonstrated against a Chimera Ravenger, a hulking brute of an enemy not seen in the original game.
Resistance 2 has a lot of ambitious ideas working for it at this point. We're hoping to check it out in further detail soon so we can see if all those great ideas can coalesce into something really special. In the meantime, you can expect it to arrive on November 4."
While it's been on ice for as long as it was around, the Resistance franchise has no shortage of quality.
My take:
Single player
3, 2, 1
Multiplayer
3, 1, 2
Overall
3, 2, 1
I beat the lengthy single player in 1 multiple times and spent hours in the online too. Plus 1 featured my home town! Special mention to the audio design in 1: playing that with surround headphones blew me away.
Note: I have the platinum for Resistance 2.
I only played the 3 main Resistance titles. My ranking would be;
1. Resistance 3
2. Resistance: Fall of Man
3. Resistance 2
Man I loved 3's campaign. Another gem stuck on the ps3 and who knows if insomniac will go back to the franchise.
While the studio is best known for Spyro the Dragon, Ratchet, and Clank, and Spider-Man back on the PS3 the studio broke from creating platformers and made one of the highest regarded science-fiction first-person shooters of all time. This was Resistance and it remains one of Sony's most acclaimed and dormant franchises.
Resistance 3's campaign was gorgeous for the time - and an awesome game to boot.
I've said in the past I'd like to see this series return and have it take place years later, like in the present.
I'll give you an example if I'm not mistaken the last game ended in the 50s, so if it was to take place some time in the 2020s you'd have an opportunity to see how the world changed after the fall of Chimera and all the new technology that came out of that war.
Just like in our universe we all know WW2 happened, but we never experienced it, so if the next Resistance game takes place years later so too would people in that universe know a war look place against the Chimera, they just wouldn't know what it really was like.
So getting to see how that universe would respond to the Chimera reemerging would be interesting.
Imagine a little kid talking with his grandfather about the war and the kid just thinks it was just a made up bed time horror story and what was said was worse than what really took place, but now that the Chimera come back the kid will find out why years later the old timer adults were still waiting for the Chimera to return.
I think there is great potential for this series still and I really believe the best way forward for Resistance is make it have a time jump too.
So hopefully this series will return.
I was blown away when i played for the first time Resistance on the PS3. Great Game. Also liked very much an played for hundred of hours the Co-op of R2. The SP campaign of R3 is also excelent. I really hope that Sony and Insomniac annouced the Remaster of the Series and a new chapter. They got story to do that.
Resistance 2 was one of the first few games i played on ps3 and I loved it, would definitely finish that again :D
With Insomniac Games now under the Sony Worldwide Studios umbrella, the studio could bring a new Resistance game to life.
Insomniac didn’t feel all enthusiastic at continuing the series after the third installment
I don’t see how them getting bought out would encourage them to make a fourth game when they could work on another new IP or a sequel to Ratchet & Clank or Spider-Man.
Plus the third game ended on a deserved bittersweet note with a sense of finality against the Chimera. It’d be soul crushing even for this series to make all those sacrifices go to waste
No. let them work on what they want. I loved Resistance, but Insomniac proved they can work on New Ip and are hitting their Prime with the release of Spiderman, so let them work on what they want, and have a smaller 3rd party remake or remaster Resistance, and see if there's an audience for it.
Insomniac should do whatever they want, they deserve every freedom to deliver the game they want.
I'm really interested in the boss battles. The stalkers were something else, but that big spider thing that kept appearing was hell, but EXTREMELY satisfying to defeat. Insomniac promised some great boss battles this time around and I know they'll deliver.
So bosses exclusive to the 8 player co-op that are harder than the ones from singleplayer o.O Insomniac really did mean two full seperate campaigns lol i expected the co-op one to be dummed down without bosses but man Insomniac really has a stellar package here lol
give me bubbles!!!!
Im too lazy to make multiple accounts!!
Btw this will eat gears2!
but with all this news,, do you guys really think it will bout out on Nov 4th? It seems like they are really ambitious. Ive seen less done to a game and took more time to do it when it comes to making games. For example, look at gears of war.
i wish they would release on the same day as gears. double midnight releases, they could get the gaming community together for the releases at gamestops and sh1t. i could get into debates with the gears boys. that would be fun
