Heya, it’s been a while since I’ve been seen around these parts as James Stevenson, Bryan Intihar and the others at Insomniac have been doing most of the Resistance 2 posting as of late. Along with my return to the blog, I bring a few announcements with regards to R2:
- Today, October 16th, the public beta for Resistance 2 will begin in North America. The beta will offer gamers a glimpse at Resistance 2’s online competitive and co-op modes ahead of the game’s launch on November 4th. We will be admitting players in two waves: a Premiere wave which includes those that pre-ordered at GameStop, individuals who subscribed to QORE for one year and/or bought the episode featuring Resistance 2 and a recent contest from GamePro.com. Those of you in the Premiere wave should be receiving an email with a registration code between now and tomorrow afternoon. A second wave is starting in the middle of next week, and you apply to be a part of it by going to beta.myresistance.net once the site goes live (later tonight). For those of you across the pond in Europe, the public beta will also begin next week.
- The Beta will include competitive maps from three locations in the game. These maps include 60-, 40-, and 20-player maps from Orick, 40- and 20-player maps from Chicago, and the 10-Player map Sub Docks (Bay Area). New modes Skirmish and Core control will be supported, along with Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch. The co-op portion of the beta will focused on Orick, and will support randomization of your play-path. Both co-op and competitive will support matchmaking and class/character progression up to level 10. This will allow unlocking of new equipment, upgrades and berserks for character customization.
- Speaking of beta.myresistance.net, the beta version of our new community site goes live tonight as well. Customizable leader boards/user profiles, individual blogs and ‘ticker’ that provides players with up to minute information of happenings on the site are just some of the features the beta site has to offer. Leading into the November 4th North American launch of the game (and the months to follow), we’ll be adding several more features that will make MyResistance.net the destination for all Resistance fans.
- And, finally, Resistance 2 has gone gold. As a special treat, the below image gives all of you PlayStation Blog readers an idea on just how big just the online coop campaign mode is :)
That’s all for now. Keep your eyes open for more R2 announcements as we lead into launch. If you have any questions, write them in the comments sections and I’ll do my best to answer them.

OMG i thought i got the email. Nope its about male enhancement :(
75
the-DVUS-one | October 16th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
My email address has changed since I purchased Qore. Will the beta code be sent to my old non-existant address or will it be sent to my current email account that I have on my psn account? Is there anyway I can have them send it to my new address?
76
noter | October 16th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
also bought that qore mag 3 and still havnt received anything.
77
-IronMan- | October 16th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
Going Gold means the game is finished and is being replicated on bluray discs and going to be distributed across the world soon.
I think.
78
Profetik | October 16th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
It means that the game is either almost complete, finished or fully complete.
79
TheGuardian1973 | October 16th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
AWESOME, I’M STILL WAITING FOR THE CODE, BUT ONE OF MY ONLINE PALS GOT HIS THIS AFTERNOON THE LUCKY BASTARD LOL!!! :P :D

Thx for the update Jeff. I can’t wait for the email….my blackberry is waiting :-)
81
-IronMan- | October 16th, 2008 at 8:33 pm
Got a question. Ok i preorder the game at Gamestop and got the voucher. Without reading the stuff underneath the code was too excited, i put the code in the redeem and it gave me an error. Then i registered on the net. And is waiting for the email.
Will i get it? Or did i goofed!
82
Profetik | October 16th, 2008 at 8:35 pm
Anyone with an extra code? Thx

@CanadianWolf
Yeah…Killzone 1 was so much better
/sarcasm
85
Violater | October 16th, 2008 at 8:40 pm
Gone gold means the game is complete and a Gold master disk created to be copied and manufactured.
Also means u will soon start seeing street date broken, leaked videos etc. etc.
86
TheHakku | October 16th, 2008 at 8:49 pm
Jeff, I don’t think that’ll work (re-downloading the private beta app). Much has changed in this new client. The game title is not the same as before, as well. Private beta participants are not automatically rolled over into this public beta. Even someone at Insomniac said this. :p
87
Cole2026 | October 16th, 2008 at 8:50 pm
I would like to know whether the visuals or the audio are improved in the gold build. To be honest, both the private and public beta both were underwhelming in terms of visuals and audio. The game itself is fun, I just do not know why the visuals are as they are given how nice Ratchet and Clank looked and sounded.

PSguy17 | October 16th, 2008 at 8:51 pm
I subscribed to Qore through my dad’s account which is using his old email.
That email address, or so I’m told by my dad is no longer active, but I can still sign in to PSN fine.
Is there away to change the email and still receive my beta key?

shystie1 | October 16th, 2008 at 8:51 pm
Got my beta invite today, downloaded it after the PS Store came back up and it took a while (hay it’s been a busy day / week for the PSN) and have been playing it. Great game by the way.
Any word on how old a build the beta is in comparison to the final build will see when the game is finally released? Other words visually how much of difference will we see?

maxerus | October 16th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
Uggg no code yet…….WHY MUST YOU TAUNT ME GOD!!!
This is great news BTW! THANX SONY!!!
91
minestrone11 | October 16th, 2008 at 8:53 pm
I was really worried when I didn’t get my beta code in the email today, but thank goodness the Playstation Blog put my fears to rest with the phrase “and tomorrow afternoon.”
92
40cal | October 16th, 2008 at 8:54 pm
Checking my e-mail right now.
93
Profetik | October 16th, 2008 at 8:57 pm
BETA!
94
Nathan Hale | October 16th, 2008 at 8:57 pm
AWESOME~!
95
wocyob | October 16th, 2008 at 8:58 pm
if i call my gamestop and ask them to change my preorder from Wrath of the lich king… do you think they will give me the code over the phone or is it tucked away like the MGS4 beta was in that cd case?
96
40cal | October 16th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
No e-mail yet. I guess I will have to wait until after work on Fri. Man I hope it comes in by then.
Oh, and thanks for the update.
97
acerazer1 | October 16th, 2008 at 9:10 pm
By coincidence, I just subscribed Qore earlier this morning, not knowing that this was happening today. I’m not the hugest Resistance fan or anything, but I wouldn’t mind participating in the Beta. Does just subscribing today include me in the Beta, or am I too late?
98
bp9801 | October 16th, 2008 at 9:12 pm
Suweeeeet! I’ve been waiting for this for a loooong time!
99
Laozer | October 16th, 2008 at 9:22 pm
i live in australia
will the beta be happening in australia?

Foxx | October 16th, 2008 at 9:24 pm
Something I haven’t seen a straight answer to yet.
Will there be any split-screen at all in the game? I heard that the offline regular story mode split-screen was taken out. Will I be able to play the 8 player Co-op with a buddy on the same PS3?
If there is no split-screen then why does a feature like that get scrapped after it was included in the first one?
gphillips replied on October 17, 2008 at 4:26 pm
As James’s post indicates, online split screen play is included.
