IGN: Resistance 2 Interview

During IGN's brief hands-on with Resistance 2 they were granted a mere taste of bigger, better things to come. From what they could gather, developer Insomniac and its CEO, Ted Price, aren't content to pull off the bare minimum, incremental update. Rather, the game is taking a larger scale, much more social, open approach to multiplayer.

IGN had a chat with Ted Price about the current state of Resistance 2; he was careful not to touch on the single-player too much – though they pressed him a couple of times anyway. He does however go into the new emphasis on squad-play in the 60 player multiplayer, as well as details on co-op, the 1950s setting and much more in this introductory interview on the anticipated PS3 shooter.

Well what other FPS is coming this yr to take the spot? Its this haze or battlefield.

Edit: Forgot far cry. It will be between this and far cry most likely. Haze and battlefield simply aren't worthy

shadow_hearts6498d ago

60 player online, 8 player co-op, second best visuals on console after KZ2.

I am so happy to be a PS3 owner

shine13966498d ago

I'll agree with the this as being the 'one' with the most hype, but they will always be a cod4 for every halo...
edit: oh that reminds me, COD5 ought to be out this year as well...plus some things that haven't been revealed yet.

pharmd6498d ago

i know lots of people are talking all about killzone, which will be uber sick, but this is my most hyped ps3 game after MGS4 comes out.... this is my shiit, my baby.... i cant wait for this... the campaign is so awesome!

steck676498d ago

I agree for being fps game of the year, 8 player coop and 60 player multiplayer, thats awesome.

Doppy6498d ago

@ Pharmd.

I'm with you. Alot of people complained about the first Resistance, but to me (once again to me) Resistance: Fall of Man was one of the best shotters I've played since Golden Eye. I don't have to put any thought into buying this one. Resistance is by far my favorite FPS franchise, with Call of Duty 4 coming in at a close second. Can't wait for Resistance 2.

Edit: Just read the Gamer Zone Guidelines, looks like their cracking the whip on trolls.

staub916498d ago

I'm gonna sleep til fall....I can't wait for this game.

PoSTedUP6498d ago

its gonna be good, im waiting for socom

Aclay6498d ago

I'm looking forward to Resistance 2 somewhat, but my mouth is just watering for Killzone 2. I mean, we've already seen Resistance on the PS3 and pretty much know what to expect in terms of gameplay, but there's just a lot more about Killzone 2 that's just so much more exciting and get's your heart pumping even faster.

I like the fact that the graphics in Resistance 2 have greatly improved since the first game, but I'm looking forward to the story more than anything else.

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.

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

cthulhucultist473d 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.

HellspawnPR1981473d ago

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

DefenderOfDoom2473d ago

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

cthulhucultist473d 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...

HellspawnPR1981473d 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.

Inverno473d 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.

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.

Eidolon1395d ago

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

Miraak82 1395d 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_vulgaris1396d ago

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

GoodGuy091396d ago

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

fr0sty1395d ago

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

P_Bomb1396d ago

Never played Burning Skies but I still have Retribution.

monkey6021395d ago

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

porkChop1395d 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.

darthv721394d 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_Suzumiya1395d 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.

Really wish Insomniac would bring back Resistance!

darthv721751d 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.

monkey6021751d 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

darthv721750d ago

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

SullysCigar1752d ago

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

monkey6021751d ago

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

CBaoth1751d 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_Darkness1750d 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_cheese1751d ago

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

BlackIceJoe1751d 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.

Dragonopolis1751d 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

waverider1751d 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.

Jambola121751d ago

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

Chevalier1751d 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.
