Resistance 2 Midnight Launch Event, Insomniac Community Day Details

83 0

It’s here! Well, almost. The launch of Resistance 2 is now only days away, so we hope you and your Bullseye are just about ready to go huntin’ for some Chimera. The game officially hits store shelves in North America on November 4, and to help celebrate Resistance 2’s arrival, we’ve got something extra-special planned:

Midnight Launch Event: That’s right, Resistance 2 is taking over the PlayStation Store in San Francisco’s Metreon for the night of November 3rd (and early on the 4th). In addition to being one of the first to pick up a copy of the game, attendees will be able to meet a host of Insomniacs (including Ted Price, our President and CEO, and members of the community team), receive some cool swag, get their copy of the game signed, and have their picture taken and placed on the cover of Resistance 2. Oh, and if you’re planning on purchasing the collector’s edition, you definitely want to come to this event. Trust us; your wallet will thank you for it. You can purchase the game at 12:01 am, but fans that show up a bit early can meet us and get that photo of yourself on the R2 cover.

R2 Collector's Edition

While November 4 has been etched in the minds of Resistance fans, here’s another one to mark on your calendar: November 7. That’s the date of our first-ever community day here at Insomniac. Fans will be treated to a studio tour, Resistance 2 competitive multiplayer sessions against the dev team, a panel discussion about our latest title, and other fun activities. If you are at least 17 years old and live/plan to be in the Los Angeles area on November 7, e-mail us at RSVP@insomniacgames.com for more details on the event.

Well, that’s it for now. I hope you use this weekend to get in a few extra rounds with the beta (we just extended it until Monday). See you soon on the battlefield!

  • I can’t wait for this event…will probably show up a couple hours early :)

  • Have my collector’s pre-ordered … cant wait!

  • @redgopher : The textures were apparently low-res to fit into the download. On their forums apparently they said the full game will use better textures.

    Btw, I loved the co-op mode. As addictive as crack. Well not that I’ve tried crack, but I imagine it is a similar addiction.

  • pre-order: check
    money: check
    game: AWESOME!!!

    i cannot wait to get my paws on this one guys. my only regret was not playing the beta enough, it was kinda broken for me but I’m sure the servers will be ready for when we get that 60 multiplayer deathmatches on!

    thanks,
    Lh

  • Any chance Europe will get the Collectors Edition? Come on guys, make it so!

  • I hate the cover art for the regular version. I wish both covers were the same as LE box art. To bad I don’t buy limited edition games. Now I’m not sure if I want to buy the game =(. Ya! I’m that anal…

  • I’ll be working that event.. If you’ve never been to any of our past launch events, try to make this one. You won’t be disappointed!

  • Very nice!!
    … and if the Insomniac team ever gets a craving for real beer, real hockey, real men and women… and scared Chimerans – then feel free to hold an event up here in Canada!
    :)

  • I can’t wait for November 4th. I get to pick up Resistance, vote, be free from political advertisements for a few years AND it’s payday! What a great day!

  • Resistance 2 is really awesome.
    I enjoy the Beat a lot. !

  • \who the hell invited some of these bastards here? if you dont like the game, gtfo. i personally want r2 to be delayed since im so broke this week until the 7th but im afraid the LEs will be comsumed already by then. Beta was tight though.

  • “Time to celebrate the arrival of Chimera”
