Resistance 2 Beta
Overview
The game was officially announced in the February 2008 issue of Game Informer with a North American release in the Fall of 2008 and a later announcement for a European and Australian release in November 2008.[4][2] The first teaser trailer had its debut during the April 11, 2008 edition of GameTrailers TV, which also told of a trailer featuring gameplay to arrive on June 13, 2008 only on GameTrailers.[5] Despite the claims of the marketing boss of SCE, Scott Steinberg, and SCE Worldwide Studios President Shuhei Yoshida, Insomniac has not confirmed that the game will be put onto a 50GB Blu-ray DL.[6][7]
In Resistance 2, the Chimera has launched a full scale aerial invasion on both the east and west coasts of the United States, with Nathan Hale joining "The Sentinels", a special task force group put together by the Special Research Project Administration (SRPA), who are also resistant to the Chimera virus. Hale will fight the Chimera through various locations in the United States as he fights the Chimera virus inside him.
[edit] Gameplay
Resistance 2 will feature two campaigns. A single player campaign which will follow the story of Nathan Hale, and an up to eight player online co-operative (or two player split screen) campaign that will have a storyline running parallel to Hale's campaign. Both campaigns will also include boss-battles. One of the bosses is the Leviathan, a Godzilla-looking monster, which is the biggest boss, standing over 300 feet high.[8] The co-operative campaign will support up to 8 players online with classes including a medic class, a heavy weapons class, and a special ops class. The online multiplayer aspect of the game will support up to 60 players online in squad based groups in a mode called "skirmish".[9] The game will also feature 12 new Chimeran enemies, Three of which will be called the Chameleon (which can cloak itself completely, charge toward you, and kill the player in one hit) and the Grim (which is a melee fighter that attacks in hordes, similar to the Gray Jack in the first game). It will also feature an enemy known as the "Fury," a creature that lurks in the waters. During the E3 2008 trailer a new enemy was shown. This enemy is called the Ravager (which slaps the player and has a shield.). Also enemies like the Stalker will be returning with modifications. [10][11] There are ten currently known weapons in Resistance 2. These will be wielded in pairs instead getting to choose from multiple weapons. The Fareye, Bullseye, Carbine, Auger, Laark and Rossmore, will be returning with some new modifications. The hailstorm, however, will not be returning.[12] New weapons include a long range semi-automatic rifle called "The Marksman", a .44 Magnum revolver with explosive bullets as secondary fire, a Chaingun called the Wraith that has a secondary fire option that allows it to act as a shielded sentry gun, and "The Splicer", a rifle-like firearm with a large circular blade on the front which the player can rev up to launch deadly spinning and superheated blades that slice through multiple enemies.[13] Also the Hybrids will have some advanced armor seen in some images.[14][15] Also announced by Ted Price is that Resistance 2 will support PS3 trophies when released. The online maps for resistance 2 are 4x larger then the online maps of RFOM (resistance fall of man). [16]
