Resistance 2: Split-Screen may have double PSN login patched

PS blog's James Stevenson, Community Relations Manager, Insomniac Games writes:
"... Your friend does not generate XP - we hope that at a certain point, we'll be able to allow your friend to log into their own PSN account and earn their own XP, but right now that functionality isn't available."

sounds like Insomniac knows something about the next firmware update that we dont know.

Edit: although such a feature should of been on the PSN in the first place, you have to give sony Credit for Evolving the PSN rather quickly. i hope they add these features in time. one feature i want to see from them is Cross game invites, that will make the PSN on Par with XBL in terms of basic features.

TheHater6425d ago

They are one of the first developers to know what the next firmware update might contain, so they can start planning, or add those feature for the the firmware goes live.

joemayo766425d ago

agree but this is something PSN needs to incorporate for all games that all for multiplayer to go over online, case and point warhawk or rock band. cmon sony give us milti-PSN login in FW 2.60

sonarus6425d ago (Edited 6425d ago )

Double login would be ideal that way everyone can get stats. They should patch that into warhawk as well so we can get ranked split screen games

WildArmed6425d ago

That may be sooner than later.
2.50 came really soon after 2.40 and with features that seem promising!
Cant wait! Probably Jan 09!?

pwnsause6425d ago (Edited 6425d ago )

its should not just be limited to 2 logins, but to 4 Logins. I can See LBP warhawk, RB2 and of Course Resistance 2 having these features, not to mention KZ2.

WildArmed6425d ago

As of now, R2 has a semi-cross game invite.
You invite the person and it appears as a message.
When you loginto the game, you can use that same message to accept the party invite. (though R2 as of now lacks game invites (if your ina game u cant invite others to join it))

nbsmatambo6425d ago

just like insomniac, always knowing when the good stuff is coming out and getting ready to share the xperience with us!!

Bubble Buddy6425d ago

Insomniac never ceases to impress me.

HardcoreGamer6425d ago

SPLIT SCREEN ONLINE COOP GAMPLAY WITH DOUBLE PSN LOGIN AT THE SMAE FRICKING TIME.

I WANNA SAY SOME SWEAR WORDS. I HOPE ITS TRUE AND NOT MADE UP

FantasyStar6425d ago

Ranked split-screen matches won't ever work because it opens up alot of holes like boosting, and other problems, such as having both screens on opposing sides, so the first player can gain an unfair advantage.

ThanatosDMC6425d ago

Check it out! Resistance 2 AWESOMENESS!!!

And holy crap, 8 people are having a hard time fighting them all. Btw, medic gun isnt strong.

INehalemEXI6425d ago (Edited 6425d ago )

The medic gun is nice because it heals you while damaging the enemy and the alt fire heals any of your buds in the area you shoot.

SlyGuy6425d ago

my rank so low in Warhawk.

My brother and I (sometimes my cousin as well) are ALWAYS on split-screen! Unfortunately we are barred from ranked games.

I REALLY hope this gets implemented and we are allowed to play split-screen ranked games.

ajeben8096425d ago (Edited 6425d ago )

that this will not be in the next firmware update...it would be silly to just assume something you hear off the internet will be coming so soon, ide put my money on anything above firmware 2.7.
start thinking about it when we hit firmware 2.7...

Bnet3436425d ago

If you played Halo 2 or 3 online, it's similar to the "Guest" feature. So the person playing would show your PSN ID and the word "Guest" next to it.

ravinshield6425d ago

everything about the ps3 has to be patched..patchstation where you at?

6425d ago
elshimiablo6425d ago

patching is much better than RROD. especially when that rate is like 60% or so.
Plus Resistance 2 is sporting 60 player online, 8 player co-op which is impossible on your console and gears 2 which is doing just 10 player online and 2 player co-op

The co-op mode of Resistance 2 takes around 200 hours to comple and the game gets GOTY based on just the revolutionary co-op.
LBP is creating shockwaves all over. Too bad nothing like that can be said about lesser games like fable 1+ and gears 1+

nieto26425d ago

bots talk about patches and they seem to forget about Vista or any other OS created by MS. LOL ;-)

their OS needs patch even to go into "sleep mode" correctly! i mean the X360 doesn't gets more updates because it's harder to put updates on a limited system like the x360 that could go RRoD in a any moment. just wait until the xbox experience update comes to see all those poor xbox owners getting RRoD on their ovens. ;-)

NickIni6425d ago

Well, updates and patches are one of the best things about the PS3. New content being adding regularly, bugs (if any, almost always none) are fixed ect.

Whereas the 360 hasn't had one update in the year I've had it. Why? Because it doesn't make MS any money, and so their not interested in improving their console. Fact.

dukadork6425d ago

R2 poops on the 360 like an angry Leviathan and wipes its ass with jealous xbots

midgetsanx6425d ago

elshimiablo6425d ago

96% at metacritic

just incase you dont know

Too human/Ninja gaiden 2/IU/TOV/ES were all flops.
Motorstorm 2 has got 8.8 from IGn and 8.5 from NZGamer too. It has got mixed reviews.

Resistance 2 will get 95% at metacritic too

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.

S2Killinit560d ago

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

cthulhucultist560d 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.

HellspawnPR1981560d ago

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

DefenderOfDoom2560d ago

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

cthulhucultist560d 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...

HellspawnPR1981560d 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.

Inverno560d 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 Butt1483d 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.

Eidolon1482d ago

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

Miraak82 1482d 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_vulgaris1483d ago

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

GoodGuy091483d ago

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

fr0sty1482d ago

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

P_Bomb1483d ago

Never played Burning Skies but I still have Retribution.

monkey6021482d ago

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

porkChop1482d 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.

darthv721481d 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_Suzumiya1482d 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_Sakai1839d ago

Really wish Insomniac would bring back Resistance!

darthv721838d 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.

monkey6021838d 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

darthv721837d ago

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

SullysCigar1839d ago

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

monkey6021838d ago

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

CBaoth1838d 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_Darkness1837d 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_cheese1838d ago

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

BlackIceJoe1838d 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.

Dragonopolis1838d 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

waverider1838d 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.

Jambola121838d ago

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

Chevalier1838d 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.
