In the latest issue of GameInformer they have exclusive screen shots of the game plus tons of information. It wasn't long untill they hit the internet. The biggest news about the game will feature 60 players online and will be released in Fall.
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!

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

Not that interested in online play, but certainly can't wait for the off-line modes
Wow I didn't really think Insomniac could one-up what Resistance did...but these guys just *bleep*ing blew me away with this kind of hype. Glad to see Hale's back...though I see he's losing touch with his humanity.
Although the first Resistence was kinda average in terms of everything, I'm REALLY looking forward to this one. Looks amazing.
And nice detailing in the screens
Anyway, the graphics have got a nice polish. I see there's now dynamic lighting and the sorts.
Some nice details, I especially like the MP campaign...game is quite huge, looks like it's taking advantage of the space available to them on Blu-Ray. :S
That's something I'd love to see with screenshot/video comparisons. And I'm going to have to steal my friend's Game Informer this month, simply because that cover is pure *bleep*ing awesomeness. I want.
Anyways. See the fifth screenshot. Those chimera are running fast. Thats freaking awesome.
I'm glad they don't disappoint.
Thats so awesome! I cant wait!
The graphics are beautiful, the online sounds unprecidented for a console game (have yet to hear of a 360 game with 60-player online frag-fests), and it's altogether a firecracker just waiting to explode its awesomeness in all directions! Plus, this game has aerial vehicles, too!
Yeah, I don't think it will be delayed either
A seriously killer game...will probably get PS3 game of the year for 08, if not Game of the Year across all consoles >_> Unless FFXIII and Versus XIII see a Fall 08 release date >_>
