Resistance 2 Going After Religion

From Kotaku.com:

"Resistance: Fall of Man deeply upset some members of the Church of England after development studio Insomniac digitized Manchester Church for a little man vs. mutant/alien warfare. So with the studio's upcoming sequel, will Insomniac avoid religious locations? CEO Ted Price fills us in."

pwnsause6668d ago

now I cant wait till we have a shootout with the Chimera in St. Patricks Cathedral in NY. LMAO, Insomniac=Balls of Steel.

Time Lord6668d ago

We all know how sensitive Muslims are.

iAmPS36668d ago

As a PS3 I just want to see a Scientology church destroyed, make my day Insomniac.

God you people believe almost anything you hear, who the hell said Muslims are easily offended? Thats like saying people are easily offended. Yo only speak of a minority in a religion.

XBOX 3606668d ago (Edited 6668d ago )

Really marbles? All this time I thought Islam denounced violence and extremists were the ones who beheaded people. Glad I have your ignorant views to clear things up for me.

So what about "harmless Christians" that kill abortion doctors? Should I believe every Christian will kill me if I don't follow what they think is morally correct?

Please take your backward ass thinking back to Redmond, WA and hope there's still some intelligence left in this dying, once great, country. It's people like you that make me ashamed to be an American these days.

Reported as offensive.

deifen6668d ago

Hate to say it buddy, but you are in fact the ignorant one here. While I grant you that acts of violence are committed by all people across all religions, it is quite frankly stupid to ignore the fact that Islam is a violent religion at its core. Remember the fiasco over the cartoon of Muhammad a while back, and the clamor for the beheading of the cartoonist? How about the assassination of Benazir Bhutto? the Paris riots? Or clerics calling for the death Americans, and the destruction of western civilization? How about the bombs in London, or even 9/11?

Wake up! Saying that Islam is peaceful, or that Christians are just as bad is not only stupid, it's also dangerous

cmrbe6668d ago (Edited 6668d ago )

On purpose just use religion because they are against it. If it is important to include religion to improve the gaming experience then so be it. Thats fine.

Edit: To difen - Don't confuse extremist with Islam.

Mr Marbles6668d ago (Edited 6668d ago )

get a grip, you have been programmed to get "offended" if anyone speaks negative of a muslim, but you feel nothing if someone bashes a Christian, gimmie a break.

I never once said good peace loving muslims, read my post, I said radical muslims! There are radical muslims you know. I get sick of all you people who get so damn "offended" when someone points out the REALITY that there are muslim all over the world savagely killing human beings just because the people do not share the extremist muslim way of life. This fact should not offend you because I point it out, it should offend because it is happening. There are good AND bad muslims, deal with it.

edit: sorry you can't read my original post, it was deleted by the speech police, which is inappropriate, there was nothing offensive about that post if read properly.

Diselage6668d ago

deifen many Muslims are peaceful and all those terror tactics are extremist. I know many Muslims and a fair bit of them have a sense of humor about the stereotypes. You really think there are less extremist Christians in the world? Perhaps it's the fact that they're acts are not covered as well in the news.

Mr Marbles6668d ago

there are Christians all over the world feeding and clothing the needy and the poor, even if they are muslim. So yes there are bad Christians, but there are far more good Christians doing good things around the globe. When is the las time you heard of a muslim missionary going into the nations in Africa where thousands of people are being killed by Muslims JUST because they are Christian, and feeding those poor people?

cmrbe6668d ago

I think you lost your marbles. Man seriously. Why are we discussing Islam here?. Get a grip and chill out.

deifen6668d ago

You do make a good point....that there certainly are genuinely good Muslim people. However, my point is that the religion itself, as well as radical extremest, are in fact bent towards violence. Trust me, I've studied the Koran in the past. This isn't to say that all Muslims are evil and sinister, by no means! But don't be fooled! many of the problems in the middle east are cause by their religion. like university students being threatened with death simply because their schools allow women to study.

Grahammad6668d ago (Edited 6668d ago )

I've personally studied many, MANY religions and since I'm an Agnostic I don't belong to any of them and I have no bias towards any of them either. However, let me assure anyone who's never researched Islam (or any other religion for that matter) that while it may seem like all terrorist are Muslim, this view is incredibly flawed and inaccurate. The extremist groups in the middle east are twisting the people's minds in the region and rallying them under the misrepresented banner of Islam. They do this only to gather popularity and power by the people in their region who are so blinded by cultural hatred that roots back to times that no one even remembers anymore to see the truth, that they are simply being manipulated. The worst part about it is that while many of them feel they are following Islamic teachings, they are in fact breaking almost all of the religion's rules. No where in the Quran does it ever say that killing yourself in the name of Allah will secure you a place in Heaven... in fact, it says the opposite, as suicide is one of the worst things a muslim can do; not that the so-called "muslims" of the area even know that since their views have been so corrupted since birth from political turmoil that dates back hundreds of years. I highly encourage people here to seek out Palestinian childrens' cartoons on youtube to see what kind of brainwashing the people in that region are subjected to all through their life. If your going to blame anyone, blame those that stray from the peaceful teachings of the religion and corrupt others with their narrow mindedness.

This isn't unique to Islam either. 1000 years ago the crusades did the exact same thing to most of the known world. Deaths of hundreds of thousands were sanctioned by corrupt religious leaders, who's only interest in religion was using it as a form of control and means of gathering power. The ignorant ones here saying the Islam is inherently violent have simply never done any research in to the subject and see what's on TV at face value.

masterg6668d ago (Edited 6668d ago )

@Hellbringer

Are you saying Muslims are not easily offended?
My god you need a reality check.

Being danish I know what I'm talking about. 2 years ago a Danish newspaper published 12 cartoons with the Profit Muhammed. This resulted in the Muslim world boycotting Danish products. About 20 people Muslims were killed in their own riots.
Where are talking millions of Muslims burning Danish Flags, Embassies and just acting crazy.

Yesterday the Danish police arrested 3 people who were plotting to kill one of the cartoonists. Two of them are already deported from Denmark.

Now tell me they're not easily offended.

There has been published millions of cartoons of Jesus,God,Making fun of Jews,Making fun of Buddha and so on. Not once has this resulted in anything but a discussion. 12 cartoons of Muhammed and the world starts burning.

Now note I have nothing against Muslims. But THEY are easily offended.

deifen6665d ago

Believe you me, I have studied Islam, along with several other religions (I was a double major in Mathematics and Philosophy). To a certain extent I can agree with you. However, we aren't talking about a small segment of the Muslim population that are at fault while the rest are 'brainwashed' as you put it. the problems are more wide spread. I would argue that many of the issues are inherent with in the religion itself. It has a backwards view of women, and it DOES promote the spreading of Islam by the sword if necessary. I personally have no problem with Muslims or Islam. oh, and contrary to your assertion, I do not believe everything I see on TV! :)

"We've actually made it a big focus to include more churches and now synagogues and mosques in Resistance 2"

damn right, after the church level they will have to go around pissing of all religions just to make it seem they didnt just pic on christians in Resistance 1.

PLEASE Insomniac, let me blow up a scientology church/hall/hut/fortres of doom, what ever they use to brainwash people.

solar6668d ago

i dont see what the big deal of the church being in the game was in the first place. glad to see developers not bend over for these groups and displaying their art the way they want. kudos.

fenderputty6668d ago

hooplah was about in the first place. It's not like Hale was slaughtering humans. He was defending all of mankind from an alien race.

"We've actually made it a big focus to include more churches and now synagogues and mosques in Resistance 2"

That makes me laugh. Stick it to em'

Video Game Franchises in Danger of Being Forgotten

The gaming industry moves at such a pace that it’s not surprising we’ve seen countless franchises fall into obscurity over the years.

S2Killinit553d ago

Im surprised that a game with a heritage of Medal of Honor is in this list.

cthulhucultist553d ago

There is a rumour that Driver 1 & 2 remasters will be released for Switch and presumably for other systems as well.

https://www.gamingbible.com...

Not sure however whether this results into new games in the near future.

HellspawnPR1981553d ago

Ninja Gaiden? Splinter Cell? Tenchu? Virtua Fighter? Killer Instinct? Killzone?

DefenderOfDoom2553d ago

I would very much enjoy
a new dedicated single player Killzone campaign. With a fun multi-player.

cthulhucultist553d ago

Tenchu and Killer Instict would be great indeed!

Unfortunately new Killzone game does not seem to be in the works

Virtua Fighter is going to receive a new entry!

https://www.dualshockers.co...

Splinter Cell is likely to be one of the remasters launching next year (not sure whether this has to do anything with the remake previously announced)

https://toronto.ubisoft.com...

HellspawnPR1981553d ago

Yeah, read the news about a new Virtua Fighter and I am so ready for it. Splinter Cell at this point I don't believe anything Ubisoft says plus I don't think modern day Ubisoft can make a decent stealth game. They will likely fuck it up.

Inverno553d ago

Basically everything at this point as companies have no concern with preservation.

Ranking the Resistance Games From Worst To Best

While it's been on ice for as long as it was around, the Resistance franchise has no shortage of quality.

Knushwood Butt1476d ago

My take:

Single player
3, 2, 1

Multiplayer
3, 1, 2

Overall
3, 2, 1

I beat the lengthy single player in 1 multiple times and spent hours in the online too. Plus 1 featured my home town! Special mention to the audio design in 1: playing that with surround headphones blew me away.

Note: I have the platinum for Resistance 2.

Eidolon1475d ago

Resistance 1 MP will always be my favorite. Call it nostalgia or whatever, but that was my jam, felt more balance, natural.

Miraak82 1474d ago

i have the platinium too , 10k kills in online ranked matches was no joke . Took me 3-4 months straight grinding but it was fun . To put it in perspective you only got like 25 kills per match if you were 1st place every match that's at Least 400 matches in 1st

Sciurus_vulgaris1476d ago

I only played the 3 main Resistance titles. My ranking would be;
1. Resistance 3
2. Resistance: Fall of Man
3. Resistance 2

GoodGuy091476d ago

Man I loved 3's campaign. Another gem stuck on the ps3 and who knows if insomniac will go back to the franchise.

fr0sty1475d ago

Resistance, Warhawk, MAG, Motorstorm, there's so many first party gems on PS3 that Sony has just left to die...

P_Bomb1475d ago

Never played Burning Skies but I still have Retribution.

monkey6021475d ago

Burning Skies was about 3 hours long and rather inconsequential. You haven't missed anything

porkChop1475d ago

Honestly, Burning Skies was shit. There's no two ways about it. At first I thought it looked terrible, then I second guessed myself. Big mistake.

darthv721474d ago

Retribution has this really cool feature where you could use a PS3 to link a controller to it and play. So if you had a 2000 or 3000 hooked to a tv, you can use a real controller. All of this predates the PSP Go's ability to sync a sixaxis to it via bluetooth.

Yui_Suzumiya1475d ago

Resistance 3 was shocking and brilliant. Loved it.

Why Resistance Was So Incredible

While the studio is best known for Spyro the Dragon, Ratchet, and Clank, and Spider-Man back on the PS3 the studio broke from creating platformers and made one of the highest regarded science-fiction first-person shooters of all time. This was Resistance and it remains one of Sony's most acclaimed and dormant franchises.

Jin_Sakai1831d ago

Really wish Insomniac would bring back Resistance!

darthv721831d ago

Agreed. Until they do a new entry, I'd love to get the two portable games remade into console versions. Maybe in a nice compilation with the mainline titles.

monkey6021830d ago

Burning Skies wasn't a great game.
It was only a couple of hours long and there was nothing memorable about it.

I'd love a new entry

darthv721830d ago

^monkey, hence why it should be remade into a better version.

SullysCigar1831d ago

Resistance 3's campaign was gorgeous for the time - and an awesome game to boot.

monkey6021830d ago

I remember being put off by it because McHale wasn't the MC but it turned out to be my favourite campaign

CBaoth1830d ago

by and large though the Resistance IP featured many protagonists (4 altogether I think if you include the portables). One of the reasons I enjoyed it was not being shackled to individual story arcs. Very rare for a major franchise.

Army_of_Darkness1830d ago

My favorite resistance game as well! It seriously had creepy, scary a$$ moments bro! It made me want an action horror game from insomniac!

Mr_cheese1830d ago

Remember playing this through online co op with the move controller and gun attachment! What a game!

BlackIceJoe1831d ago

I've said in the past I'd like to see this series return and have it take place years later, like in the present.

I'll give you an example if I'm not mistaken the last game ended in the 50s, so if it was to take place some time in the 2020s you'd have an opportunity to see how the world changed after the fall of Chimera and all the new technology that came out of that war.

Just like in our universe we all know WW2 happened, but we never experienced it, so if the next Resistance game takes place years later so too would people in that universe know a war look place against the Chimera, they just wouldn't know what it really was like.

So getting to see how that universe would respond to the Chimera reemerging would be interesting.

Imagine a little kid talking with his grandfather about the war and the kid just thinks it was just a made up bed time horror story and what was said was worse than what really took place, but now that the Chimera come back the kid will find out why years later the old timer adults were still waiting for the Chimera to return.

I think there is great potential for this series still and I really believe the best way forward for Resistance is make it have a time jump too.

So hopefully this series will return.

Dragonopolis1830d ago

Great Idea. I'd play that version.

Resistance was a great game and of all the remasters.... I would play a great remastered version of resistance series as well

waverider1830d ago

I was blown away when i played for the first time Resistance on the PS3. Great Game. Also liked very much an played for hundred of hours the Co-op of R2. The SP campaign of R3 is also excelent. I really hope that Sony and Insomniac annouced the Remaster of the Series and a new chapter. They got story to do that.

Jambola121830d ago

Resistance 2 was one of the first few games i played on ps3 and I loved it, would definitely finish that again :D

Chevalier1830d ago

I loved all the Resistance games. But part 2 online was amazing. The Marksmen for the Spec Ops type class when it was fully upgraded was such an amazing weapon. Oh man I wish they release all the games again and let us play part 2 online again.
