From NeoGAF user Steve who bought the latest Game Informer that ran a feature on Resistance 2. He states that the game will be a
"HUGE cooperative game... EIGHT-PLAYER story-driven campaign along side single-player campaign. SIXTY-PLAYER Competitive modes... HUGE United States Landscapes as backdrops. It will have huge boss encounters with 8 player co-op over PSN and 2 player local co-op."
Well known user JStevenson from NeoGAF who is an employee of Insomniac has confirmed the information to be true.
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.
No FPS on any CONSOLE boasts what Resistence 2 brings to the table.
Seriously 8 player Co-op holy sh1t!
This is so fuking awesome, MGS4 now has competition for GoTY
Holy Sh1t the pics are up LOOK!!!!!!!!! http://www.neogaf.com/forum...
2 biggest FPSes of 2008 ----KZ2 and RESISTANCE being PS3 exclusive
OMFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG G
@ the XTARD above
RESISTANCE has sold over 3m copies ( well ofcourse not according to VGCHARTZ but according to GFK,NPD and MEDIACRATE)
RESISTANCE still appears among the top selling games in all regions of EU including FRANCE
www.micromania.fr
RESISTANCE is outselling any x360 game in EU regions. In the MIDDLE EAST it is the no1 selling game on consoles
RESISTANCE will easily sell 5 million copies. RESISTANCE 2 however will easily top 10m
when RESISTANCE 2 is launched PS3 would have a userbase of around 22/25m units
expect KZ2 to sell in excess of 10m in its lifetime as well
same goes to GT5,MGS4 and FF13
Wow thats huge
no links or proof.
FAIL.
p.s: LOL at tanod
Edit: I haven't got a hd-dvd addon, your point being?
RESISTANCE 2
I just got my latest GameInformer and its cover feature is Resistance 2!!!!!!
Checking it out now... will update. (didn't see this on first two pages so assumed it hasn't been posted)
EDIT 1: HUGE cooperative game... EIGHT-PLAYER story-driven campaign along side single-player campaign. SIXTY-PLAYER Competitive modes... HUGE United States Landscapes as backdrops.
EDIT 2: "It is, in short, a tour de force for the untapped might of the PlayStation 3"
EDIT 3: Narrative stays with Hale the whole time... not Rachel. Hale shot down in Iceland, escapes to US and becomes part of program called Sentinels...
EDIT 4: Chameleon.. Stalker with total cloaking ability
EDIT 5: Overcoming stigma that boss encounters don't work in FPS games..
EDIT 6: Eight player coop over PSN, two player local
EDIT 7: CLASSES! Unique character with one of three basic templates... tank with heavy weaponry, special ops for distance (bullseye modified with zoom), medic
I'm READING FAST!
http://boards.ign.com/ps3_g...
I cant make my own thread, stupid gaf mods., someone make a thread!
EDIT 8: Online matching... standard difficulty discarded for scaled challenges for team skill..
EDIT 9: Partially randomized geometry... levels are different with each playthrough
EDIT 10: again... 60 players online. want sense of epic b attle.. dont want fast-furious gameplay to be focus, more focused on squad v squad.
EDIT 11: will log into smaller four-to-eight man lobbies for each squad... encouraging communication and camaraderie, squad will be tasked witha particular objective. careful level design aims to deliver intense combat zones or small team conflicts that flow within arena of larger battle.
EDIT 12: Dedicated gaming community with stat servers for faster matchmaching than any console game of 2007. full-featured profile pages through myresistance.net will incorporate social networking concepts. open clan and party system to encourage community...no player invites needed.
EDIT 13: Aiming to deliver mobile-phone-quality sound.
EDIT 13: Aiming to deliver mobile-phone-quality sound.
EDIT 14: Futher tapped power of PS3... more enemies onscreen, better AI, better lighting and shaders (SCREENSHOTS LOOK AMAZING!!!). More comples normal mapping and detail mapping combine to deliver textures that look amazing from afar and at extremely close distances.
EDIT 15: AI getting a lot more attention.. will scaled on-the-fly to players perspective and viewpoint... aka enemies cloesr to the player will actually have more spohisicated AI routines than those further away. assailants in your direct field of view received heightened intelligence. easily more cunning than before
sorry for typos... typing fast
EDIT 16: listened to complaints... working on solution to long checkpoints and health system. not positive what final solution will be.
EDIT 17: "Our time playing was a blast"... each character class contributes in a unique way and "we loved the strategy-laden medic"... unique sense of teamwork
EDIT 18: Mysterious "Cloven"
EDIT 19: "Resistance 2 will be too epic to dismiss as anything but one of the biggest, boldest, and most high-reaching titles of 2008. It's a game that won't be ignored." [END ARTICLE]
RELEASE: FALL 2008
I summation i'm so happy! Bubbles for everyone
