Take a look at Mirror's Edge's upcoming demoInsomniac 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 get both guaranteed
i will getting both of these titles when ever they come out
Both of these will be mine! Loved the first killzone and heard alot about resistance.. I wanted resistance since I first heard of it and I will have to buy that and play that too!!!! Ive missed out long enough!!!
insomniac are 1 of the best devs working on ps3 games. im going to get both games if i can or if not i think i'll go with resistance
I guarantee both games sell 1 million+ copies on day one.
I will be getting both, never played killzone, except the PSP version, Love Resistance, I traded it and am regreting it...will get it back when it is a greatest hit.
every time ted price speak is like
INSTANT WIN
the man speak the truth and wise words
i am buying both of them day one for sure!!!!!
Both 1st day purchase for me.
im gonna be so broke in 2008 already.
@bignate: which word is mispelled?
i smell a merger!!!
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.
psn id: gingo... yeah im definetely getting both these games it would be foolish for any ps3 gamer not to
Fo' sure both ........And hope they stay PS3 exclusives
yay =] cant waitt for both these!!
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 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.
Must haves for any playstation gamer... as long as they dont suffer from Motionsickness.
Man I really hope these guys are taking that into account.
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.
Ted's DA - MAN. Buying Resistance 2 was a no brainer halfway through R1!
Wow! I hope both games are really, really good!
I'll be getting Killzone 2 first if they come out the same time.
Guerilla and Insomniac. You guys rock keep bringing great PS3 exclusives out and ill keep buying
Bring them on!!!! :))))
I cant wait until resistance 2 and killzone 2 come out this year. i have played resistance a couple of times and so i look forward to the second one. killzone i never played but i like the second game's graphics.thats why i wanna get it.
Bring them on!! Gonna get them both rest assured!!!!!!
killzone 2 will hopefully be a big improvement from the first 1..and for resistance 2,all u need to say is the title of the game
People who have XBox, are going to regret not buying a PS3 when both of these titles come out. And im going to make sure to rub it in there faces
Hey Big Nate, It's spelled DAMN when used in that context. I hope you were joking.
*NEWS FLASH* It doesnt come out in a while!!!!
All i can say is E3,just can't come here soon enough,so many awesome AAA,must have,blockbuster titles on the way,and the info on each and everyone of them is pretty bleak.I can't wait for e3 this time around.
getin both love res dint like the 1 kill zone but 2 will be ace
