Multiplayer bedlam got you down? Endless cross-map sniping bumming you out? Insomniac Games honcho Ted Price feels your pain and he’s doing his best to fix some of things that often plague the best of multiplayer shooter matches.
He has to. Resistance 2 online play will support up to 60 players on one map, and without some way of sorting through some of those problems the matches just wouldn’t be any fun to play.
If you really don’t care about the confusion of such a mighty match, if you revel in the disorder, you can still play the matches you want, but for the rest of us Price and his team has some pretty neat ideas.
We sure liked Resistance. It’s a good game! So good that some people wish that they could take it will them on the bus and train and shoot-up aliens. That’s be super! But is it going to happen? Insomniac Games bossman Ted Price says: Sure. I think that’s possible… I think Killzone demonstrated that it doesn’t have to be a first-person shooter. I think Killzone: Liberation was a fantastic game, but a very different game from the original. Anything is possible.

Now that Insomniac has found success with both the Ratchet & Clank and Resistance franchises, you might expect them to simply sequel the IP as long as the checks come in, staggering each title’s two-year development cycle to release one game a year. But Insomniac’s president Ted Price explained that such a schedule ping ponging Ratchet and Resistance wasn’t the plan. Instead they intend to, “continue to produce new IP, there’s no question about that”.
So a new IP is coming from Insomniac in the semi far to far future? Sounds good to us. Insomniac’s Ted Price Talks ‘Ratchet’ Sales Surprises, New IPs [MTVmultiplayer]
