Hey everyone! We’ve been working hard getting Resistance 2 ready for its fall release. Right now we’re play-testing 60-player multiplayer and eight-player co-op daily, while tweaking sections of our single-player levels. Needless to say, the game is rapidly progressing and every time we play there are new assets and tech going in.
We’re not quite ready to take the lid off the new stuff we’re developing (there’s quite a lot!). But in the meantime, we did want to share with you a teaser trailer we’ve been using internally. Titled “It Begins,” the trailer discloses some new hints about R2 story direction that I won’t spoil for you here.
But the best part is that we tell you exactly when we’re going to deliver more – much more. The next trailer and worldwide gameplay footage debut will be on the June 13th episode of Gametrailers TV with Geoff Keighley (it’s a full episode covering R2).In the meantime, check out the teaser, and don’t worry, you’ll be hearing more from us before June. Check out the April 17th Full Moon Show Podcast (www.insomniacgames.com) for more details about the teaser and about R2. And, if you have any questions, Bryan Intihar and I will be hanging out in the comments section tonight to answer them!
I’ve started playing resistance online alot again. None of my friends do though :(
Wooo! Can’t wait for June 13th!
My wife had to paste my head back together after watching this. :)
This is how it begins. ???O Pwned.
Is this in-game James? Alot of people want to know.
looks fantastic- can’t wait
will this game support split screen online multiplayer?
is the teaser in-game?
The “Fragile Eagle” has landed. Welcome Bryan. :-D Can’t hardly wait for June 13 to see the game play in action.
The question of all questions….Is that footage real-time(cutscene with added blur perhaps?) or CGI?
I would almost guarantee that it is all CG guys, just because of the style, and the fact that at the end of the trailer it says “first gameplay footage June 13th.”
I don’t know, one of those should’ve given it away…
Anywho! Good stuff Insomniac peeps, I loved the first one, and want to play the second one pretty bad. I’m glad you guys have such an awesome grip on the PS3’s hardware at this point. Can you tell me if the game will run in 1080p or if you are going to sacrifice the resolution for 60fps?
Either way it’s gonna be sweet. If you could do both though….
Resistance 1 was perfect. Insomniac’s continued support for the game proves that they are dedicated to giving gamers what they want and love. For that, I thank you!
I can’t wait for this game!!
Thanks Insomniac. I’m truly looking forward to seeing the gamplay on the 13th
Very exciting news. Cant wait to see in game as cg while great looking is only slightly interesting to me.
Loved the first one guys, nice job all around. You can count me as one more R2 sold.
Have you guys play tested the 60 online multiplayer yet? How does it hold up (as far as lag goes). I would only imagine that it begins to get choppy if all 60 were to get into a single area all firing guns. And what about the voice chat? How will that work with so many players on the same team?
Keep up the AAA work!
Oh yeah, we\’re playing 60-player MP every day, and I play in our three-scheduled playtests every week and give feedback.
And we\’re starting to get some more internal Sony people playing to help us test our brand new online servers.
As far as voice chat, the game divides you into squads, which helps manage the 60-player battles :-)
