Ted Price talks Resistance 2 and Killzone 2

Posted on March 6th, 2008 at 15:03 EDT

Insomniac Games President, Ted Price, sat down with MTV Games for an interview about the upcoming sequel to the 2006 PlayStation 3 launch title that covered everything from the 60-player online modes to competing with Killzone 2, and even some Halo 3 was thrown in the mix.

When asked how Resistance 2 compared to Halo 3 content wise, Ted Price stated that, "We were not looking at 'Halo 3' or looking to one-up anybody at all, other than we wanted to push multiplayer content. With multiplayer we saw an opportunity to up the game to 60 players with not a whole lot of pain on our end."

He continued to speak about why they decided to add online co-op to Resistance 2 by stating that, "The online co-op for us was a result of getting so many damn complaints about not having online co-op in ‘Resistance 1‘ that we knew we had to do it." A pretty blunt statement, but it's nice to see developers taking criticism from their consumers.

Finally, MTV games asked, "A lot of people were thinking 'Killzone 2' was going to be the big Sony FPS for the end of ‘08. This does too. So is this going to be a head-to-head thing? Have you guys gotten any calls from guys in Amsterdam [where the game is being made]?"

And Price kept things pretty clear by saying that, "Actually, we’re close to those guys. Our engine director was just over at Guerilla taking a tour. And we’ve had them in our offices. There’s definitely a friendship between the two studios. And we are both interested in making sure there’s a separation between the games in terms of theme and gameplay."

Whether you decide to pick one of these games or both of them, it's pretty clear that both of these titles are going end up being, if not already, "must-haves" for any PlayStation 3 gamer.

i have a lot of time for Ted Price, he is a guy who makes a lot of sense when he talks, i never ever liked FPS games until i played Resistence , and it was the story that hooked me, cant wait to see where no.2 goes, the concept art look amazing, nice to see that companies cant still be competitive as well as friendly, with their relationship with guerilla, cant wait for KZ2, just got to figure outhow t pay forall the amazing games coming this year forthe PS3

I plan on buying both the day that they come out.  I think with these games we will get a glimpse of what advancements have been made in the programming of the system.  We will have a direct comparison with the launch title and the second generation version for the first time (COD doesn't count since it was multi-platform and different devs.)

I'll be picking both of those games up and I'm surprised Insomniac has stayed so independent from other major corps. They are a great developer.

I don't think Killzone 2 and Resistance 2 need to compete, there both PS3 exclusives and will both be amazing games. Im going to buy both, because i know that even though there both FPS there both going to be completly different in each other. Insomniac Games is my favorite developer, but Guerilla still has a great game on their hands.

just as everyone else have stated both are day one purchases for me

i too will be onboard in getting both these games and wouldn't it be cool if both developers teamed up to make one killer game !!

I can't believe that people actually think that there is going to be "competition" between Resistace 2 and Killzone 2. PS3 gamers will be picking up both Killzone 2 and Resistance 2, anyone that doesn't is a fool, it's that simple. If you like FPS, you will be picking up both shooters.

I think that Resistance 2 "might" sell a little faster than Killzone 2, but Killzone 2 is definanlty going to be the most visual and graphical. Resistance 2 will probably have the stronger online mode because I haven't heard anything about Killzone 2's Multiplayer other than it will have it in the game.

i think resistence will sell more then killzone will on the first day cause its already a proven game from the first one on the ps3 and alot of people thought first killzone  was not good but i dont know cause ive never played it but im still gonna buy both any way .. lol.
