Well… Have a look at the Resistance 2 trailer. Thoughts? Feelings? Impressions?
Thanks, shindokie for the tip!
It sounds like tonight’s episode of GameTrailer’s TV with Geoff Keighley is going to be a must watch. Not only will they be showing the first gameplay footage of Yoda and Darth Vader as playables in Soul Calibur IV, but they will be premiering the teaser trailer for Resistance 2 from Insomniac Games.
Will we get our first proper look at Resistance 2 for the PlayStation 3 this week? I’m going with “definitely maybe.” “yes.” GameTrailers TV host Geoff Keighley teases on his blog that the April 11 episode will feature “something special from our friends at Insomniac Games and Sony Computer Entertainment”, one of seven exclusives Keighley boasts about.
People grunting and barking! Sure, these motion captures aren’t not exactly in-game footage. Well, actually they sorta are! Just image that you’re looking at alien spawn and not just some dude in a jumpsuit. More »
Last summer, the gang at Insomniac Games pulled back the curtain on PlayStation 3 R&D, attempting to the light the way of the dark and dangerous development path. It was a classy move, aimed at helping other, less fortunate developers. Today, they’ve one-upped themselves, announcing the Insomniac Games Nocturnal Initiative. No, it’s not an exciting PlayStation Network title or the beginnings of a new franchise. This is the Game Developers Conference, after all, and the announcement is aimed squarely at software developers.
Yesterday, we all read Insomniac’s snarky comment promising more religious locales in Resistance 2 after the Church of England’s outcry over Manchester Cathedral’s appearance in the original Resistance title. But maybe the folks at Manchester Cathedral shouldn’t be taking things so hard. Because as their director of communications revealed in a recent issue of Official PlayStation Magazine, foot traffic has been up since Resistance was released.
Resistance: Fall of Man deeply upset some members of the Church of England after development studio Insomniac digitised Manchester Church for a little man vs. mutant/alien warfare. So with the studio’s upcoming sequel, will Insomniac avoid religious locations? CEO Ted Price fills us in. We’ve actually made it a big focus to include more churches and now synagogues and mosques in Resistance 2.

So not only is Resistance 2 very much real (honestly, how could it not have been given the first title’s success), but it’s looking pretty fantastic with 8-player co-op and 100-foot monsters. That’s like 12-feet per person. Today Insomniac and Game Informer are serving up three clips for your pleasure. The first two are with Insomniac Founder and CEO Ted Price, and the last is with Insomniac Lead Designer Colin Munson. Most of it’s big picture stuff and there’s no footage shown, but hey, it’s some the intel on the sequel to one of the best games on the PS3 to date.
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.
