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!
@ 82: Agreed, I would love to see an open beta for the online portion at least. R1 was good but had what I’d consider some bad balancing problems which spoiled the game a bit.
Please pass the suggestion along to the people developing the multiplayer. I’d kill to play R2 before its release and I’m sure many others would too.
So was this video CGI or ingame footage and if CGI is this what you are aiming for or better/worse?
Insomniac will pawnzerd teh bungie and infinty trash..zang1111
Wow, nice work Insomniac! That vid is amazing!! Can’t wait for the world premiere June 13th. Definitely on my “pre-order” list. :)
And yeah, those PSN cards would be nice for when Resistance 2 comes out. With new maps in Warhawk, MGO, B:BC, Socom, and Resistance my credit card cannot keep up!!!!
Cheers

wtf does 0708 mean????
i know this comment wont get is quite useless but, don’t kill hale, don’t turn this into something like call of duty or rainbow six. thats all.
Hi James,
Thanks for the post. I must say the teaser trailer looks amazing and it sets a great tone for the sequel. Kudos to the art team at Insomniac since they’ve created some great imagery for the next chapter of Resistance. Really the art design rocks! Those spaceships look too cool.
But you’ve been ignoring the question everyone has…was that real-time? I’m guessing it was an in-game cutscene rendered using in-game assets like the beautiful cutscenes from Ratchet and Clank Future. The fact that you answered to Temmehkan that you’ll be showing the “first” footage of the game in June 13 and E3 makes me think that way. So the game will look very very close to the video but not exactly like that…just like the cutscenes in Ratchet and Clank: Future.
So…am I right or am I wrong? Either way I’ll buy the game on the first day! :)
cant wait for this game. cant wait to see new weapons. my favorite part of R:FOM was the weapons and their alt-fires.
haven’t played R1 in a while(just started a new game in co-op) but my favorite gun was the one when you get to shoot the remainder of your clip out as a automatic turret.that saved my ass a lot. but there wasnt enough ammo for it.
plus the gun that shot through walls.
and the sniper that slowed down time lol.
and the rocket launcher that broke into little rockets and that can stop anywhere were cool.
okay im stoppin now even though there are more cool weapons
@ 107
I have no doubt that that is possible, though it was obviously either a teaser or a cutscene since the game is played in first person (I’m assuming). Nevertheless, if you listen to the podcast you know that they’ve been fleshing out the gameplay first and really building on the experience before polishing it up, so it might very well be a pre-rendered cutscene (not CG). Of course, I’m here posting rather than working on the game so I can’t say for sure.
I’m looking forward to this big time.
I can’t freaking wait.
DAY ONE buy for me.
Thanks Insomniacs
I Heart You Insomniac!!!
Can’t wait for this one!
Can’t wait for this. Loved the first resistance and R2 just looks mind blowing. I’m from the UK and wondered if the release dates between USA/UK will be staggered as usual or will it be released worlwide on the same day ala GTA IV and Halo 3?
We haven\’t announced any release dates yet, but we are excited to bring the game to Europe, and we know you are anxious to get your hands on it.
