NeoGAFfer Wollan received the latest issue of Game Informer magazine today, and breathlessly rushed to his computer to transcribe details about the cover story - Insomniac's Resistance 2, the follow up to one of the PlayStation 3's biggest hits (and only really good launch title) Resistance: Fall of Man. Highlights include two story modes, one for single player and one for either split-screen local play or 8 player co-op. Also of note is the introduction of character classes, with players being able to choose from a tank, a specialist, or a medic for multiplayer goodness. Speaking of multiplayer, the game will support up to 60 players online, with players forming up in 4-8 man squads in the lobbies with different objectives during the match to help keep things from devolving into giant free-for-alls. Other details include limited randomized geometry within levels to keep things fresh, graphics and performance that tap more PS3 power than ever before, and much, much more. Check out the GAF thread to see Wollan's complete write-up, or better yet just get your hands on a copy of Game Informer as soon as humanly possible. I've not known their writers to be given to unnecessary hype, so when they end a story with "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", I can't help but get just a little excited.
Under the shadow cast by the mighty juggernaut that is COD4?Good luck with that.
As you know, last year there was a little bit of a controversy regarding your game and the Church of England. It was big news in the UK. Will that affect your decision to use real-world locations in the future?We've actually made it a big focus to include more churches and now synagogues and mosques in Resistance 2.
Well I played the beta over the weekend and here are my thoughts.It has changed a lot. The multiplayer feels like a cross between HALO and COD4. Perks and leveling up seem to be taken directly from COD4 while some of the gameplay especially the jump and gun feels very much like HALO.Graphically its pushing a hell of a lot more polygons but the resolution seems lower than the first and the textures don't look as detailed. Still it looks pretty good but nothing that blows you away like Gears 2 or MGS4.The online cooperative seems more fun to me than the competitive.For a PS3 owner I'd say its a must buy.
