Resistance 2 GP cover

Want to read everything about Resistance 2‘s 300-foot tall, skyscraper-smashing Leviathan? Then you’ll want to pick-up of the August issue of GamePro Magazine! In the 10-page Resistance 2 cover story, you’ll see the first details and images of one of our boss Chimera, which we call the Leviathan. In addition, GamePro got the chance to play through a lengthy segment of our Chicago single-player level, and checked out our 8-player online co-op and competitive multiplayer. The issue is hitting subscribers now and goes on newsstands early next week, but if you really can’t wait, here’s a sneak peak at a couple of the new screenshots below.

R2 LEVIATHAN R2 CHICAGO THEATRE

Obviously, you’ll have to go buy the magazine to see more of Resistance 2, which also features an exclusive three-page fold-out cover showing some art our team created of Nathan Hale in Chicago and a few other surprises. Check out a preview here

If you are a Resistance fan, this issue is a must-have.

Next up for us is E3. We’re working hard to prepare for the big show. Stay tuned for lots of new info from us soon.

As always, Bryan Intihar and I will be around answering your questions in the comments section.

  • I bet resistance 2 will look better than Vaporzone 2, wait and see. The biggest kick in the sacks for Guerilla Games is they’ve had what 4 years to work on Killzone 2, Insomniac has put out 3 incredible games since the inception of Killzone 2 and will probably even put out the R&C add on before it gets here too, so that’d make 4 games basically.

    Sony needs to know what side their bread is buttered on and it isn’t the plain side —

  • Hi Brian

    Will R2 have a cover system, similar to Gears of War and Uncharted. I remember before in one of the early pictures that the protagonist was taking cover while a horde of Chimera where looking for him somewhere in the Chicago level.

  • @ CaptionLoken (148)

    Heellloooo!

    @ 152

    No, it won’t feature a cover system. The character you saw there, was one of Hales allies, a member of a group called the sentinels. So you won’t be able to take cover, though.

    “We appreciate the feedback, but trust us, wait till E3. We think you’ll be impressed.”
    Hopefully you will impress me, loved the first one cant wait for 2.

  • Hi James
    Thanks for opening up a new studio nearby.I’m about 20mins up the road.I’ve been catching up on the Full Moon podcasts and was interested in the 60man rocket test.Could you actually setup a custom match 60 player rocket only?

    I think the melee in Resistance is one of the best feeling in a game I’ve played.Is it back in similar fashion or has any animation changed in regards to it?

    Will Resistance have any photo mode,video or any community features besides http://www.myresistance.net?

    • James Stevenson

      You should have all of the custom game options from R1 and more. Now, keep in mind, some things will change as we\’re still building all of the lobby and option settings in though! :-)

      No major changes to melee, though the button may not be the same (course, you can remap it!)

      We aren\’t talking about the community features just yet, but trust me in that MyRes has a lot of updates planned for it, stay tuned.

  • @ 155

    From the interviews and videos I have watched on R2, he has said before that if you just want to go mess around and have a 60 player deathmatch, for example, you can. So yeah you will be able to make custom 60p games.

  • That monster is freakishly huge…I can’t wait to see this game at E3!!!

  • Thanks Sentry
    I’ve never really been into custom games.I usually just play ranked setups,but I would like to try a 60man weapon specific match.Sounds fun.

  • Why do the chimera always look shiny like they have been smeared with vaseline?

  • Is that trailer that is floating around the new R2 trailer or just an old one? and is R2 going to support split screen online for sixty player battles, sort of like Warhawk??????????????????

  • i have finished this game 6 times already.in single player mode.does this make me fan of Resistance?though i have played multiplayer only for 30 minutes or something…i found the maps small, no hiding places(i like camping), too much chaos…still first day buy for me for single player mode…great work!!!

  • @ 159

    Because they just came out of their mothers womb(?) Seriously though, the Grims are like chimera that are not fully developed, and they are most likely slimy and whatnot since they were just recently transformed, or born, so to speak. Maybe that’s why, who knows. :P

    @ 158

    No problem bro. :)

  • @ 161

    I only finished it 3 times. :(

    But I finished R&C UYA more then 60 times! (R64), with all trophies, skill points, weapons, gold bolts, etc. :D And R&C ToD more then 10 times now, with all skill points, gold bolts, weapons etc. :P

    But I am willing to do it all over again for trophies!! XD

  • jkust to let everybody know the update is up

  • “better than halo. bigger than call of duty.”

    nuff said. 2008 is officially the year of the ps3.

  • Updating the firmware as we speak.

    THANKS SONY!!!

  • 2.40 SYSTEM UPDATE IS UP

    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    VERY HAPPY :)

  • Since you guys won’t be implementing trophies until R2 is done, can we expect Resistance: Fall of Man, and Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction trophies in the future?

    One more thing… Can we see another music video from you guys at E3?

  • 2.4 i live woot!

  • @ 168

    Bryan has already answered that question… twice.

  • I’m hoping you can fly the jet in R2. Dunno, It seems to feature pretty prominently in promotional pictures. I can imagine the Leviathan being like King Kong and you have to take it out with the jet. Anyways, that leaked trailer really hyped me for this game.

  • OMG FW2.40 is Out!!!!!!!!!

    runs from room screaming like a little girl….

    -Black-

  • OMG i cant wait for R2, im more excited about this game than killzone 2. Insomniac is the greatest developer ever. yall never stop making great quality games. with R1, R&C, and now are R2, thank you so much for those killer games and being so good to us PS3 owners. Insomniac never lets us down!

  • Awesome. I’m picking this issue up tomorrow.

  • Are there any plans to make R2 or future games at 60fps?

  • There isn’t gamepro in my country and no qore in my PSN…

  • @176

    That sucks buddy.

    I hope IG puts one dev. on Resistance + Ratchet and Clank and make trophies for them.

  • By the way Resistance’s online is better than any online on any PS3 game.

  • wow now that we have in-game xmb and trophies..we really have nothing to complain about…..i feel so..useless

  • wait, this issue isn’t out yet? i got mine in the mail a few days ago.

  • Why is Bryan so damn awesome??? R2 instant 10 if the big monster is replaced by him. Do it!!!

  • Hi,

    Bryan, could you tell me how improved the physics engine will be in Resistance 2? I could see in one of those GameTrailers.com’s videos that the enemies fell down like a statues or something. By enemies, I mean those scary creatures those run together in a huge hordes.

    I really hope you could improve your physics, or even only the physics of the enemies. It is a real dissapointment if the physics work so badly. Please, fix it.

    Could you reply to this? Thanks.

  • @ 177

    I hope so too, I mean all they really got to do is evaluate the value of each trophy (skill point) and add a graphic to each trophy, shouldn’t take up more then several days right?

    I mean, I beat Resistance 3 times, and R&C more then 10 times, both with all skill points, I am willing to do that ALL over again for trophies. That is how much I love games from Insomniac, and that is how much I am dedicated to trophies… or becoming a trophy whore, whatever. :P

  • I’m buying this game, even if it belly-flops like Haze. There’s no way I could pass up fighting that 300′ thing! Hopefully there is a bigger variety of creatures in R2 too.

  • *groan* still can’t edit comments here…

    So was this monster influenced by Cloverfield?

    • James Stevenson

      Nope! He was under construction well before we ever even saw Cloverfield or knew what exactly the Cloverfield monster was!

  • As bummed as I am about R1 not getting trophies I am glad to know R2 is the main focus. Any word on a possible collectors / special edition of R2?

  • :O:O:O:O:O what is that WII FIT BOARD BARELY LEGAL THING?? anyone have a link to an article i want to know lol.

    R2 looks AMAZING cant wait to play 60player online :D

  • The pictures look hot, the details on that Chicago theater are amazing. Not to mention that 300 foot tall Chimeran looks like a challenge to say the least. Keep up the great work, I can’t wait to get this game.

  • Hey there Brian!

    I’m the kind of guy who likes to quest for booty, all the time! Would you happen to know when I’ll be able to continue?

    ;)

  • All of you people worried about the visuals need to play Ratchet And Clank Future, then you’ll be believers in what these guys can do.

  • Resistance 2 is probably my most anticipated title for the end of this year. Will Sony advertise the game well enough for it to gain the notoriety it will undoubtedly deserve? I know I am definitely hoping for midnight launches and limited/collector’s editions of the game:)

  • R2 will be EPIC!! i am sooo proud to be a PS3 owner..this year has been and will continue to be a great one!

  • Hey Fragile Eagle! I hope to see you often here on the psblog, also an interview with you on the 1upyours podcast is way overdue! I hope you guys can work something out for E3.

  • Hi Brian,

    Can you please add trophy support for Ratchet and Clank: Future??

    ~Thank you

  • Holy damn! That thing is HUUUUUGGEE!! I’m getting goosebumps just looking at the art! Gears of Whaaaaa? R2 is making it look like Queers of War. Hehe.. Really can’t wait to see the Leviathan in action. You rock Insomniac!

  • Ok, so I downloaded the full size screen shots, slapped them on a Memory Stick and pulled them up on the XBR5 using the PS3. Zoom in zoom out these shots look awesome. Both levels that I have seen so far (the Red Woods and Chicago) look amazing. What other locations do you have this epic war taking place?

  • @ James.

    Whats the deal with getawarjob.com?

  • Hey Brian what about custom soundtracks? Can Ratchet and Resistance be patched for CS?

  • I saw you said no trophy support for either of those two games. Perhaps after Resistance 2 was released would R&C at least be looked at again for possible support? (Safe to assume R1 is done)
