The latest issue of the Gameinformer has got yet another huge exclusive first-look, and this time it is Resistance 2, made by the brilliant Insomniac Games who have already brought Resistance: Fall of Man and Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction to PlayStation 3.
The first ever Resistance 2 preview revealed that the game will feature one campaign focused on Nathan Hale in the USA, which will be a single player mode. Secondly, the game will have a separate story campaign which will support two players offline and up to eight players online!

But that isn't just it...the game will support a 60 (yes, sixty) player online mode. It will have its own dedicated game community, with full stat tracking on myresistance.net. The online mode will feature classes such as heavy weaponry, special ops and medic. The focus for the online mode will be squad vs. squad and not fast and furious gameplay. Of course the game will also feature some new vehicles including the Chameleon, which is a stalker with the possibility of total cloaking.
The game has pushed the capabilities of the PlayStation 3 even further. More enemies are said to be on the screen, and of course the game will feature a better AI and better lighting and shaders. Insomniac is giving a lot more attention to the artificial intelligence compared to last time with Resistance: Fall of Man. The textures will also be a lot better for an amazing look from far away and from close distance.
If you want to see the screenshots, buy the next GameInformer, or wait till the screenshots are released online. We'll bring you the latest news and media and soon as we have it. Resistance 2 will be released in fall 2008.

FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!60 players!!!!!! wow can't wait to get my router online and buy this game.
Awesome cant wait to get it!!
First !!!!! i'll buy this one for online mode
I hope Insomniac gets paid mad money because they deserve it!
cant wait!!!!!!!!
HALO WHAT?! HALO WHO?! Never even heard of it before. This is why I own a PS3. Join the Resistance! Again! lol
kinda late there man
A tickleing shiver of excitement went through my body when I read this and saw the front of the GameInformer paper! Wow this will be a NEW heavy hitter on the PS3 THIS fall!!!
the 60 player thing should be funky...i still think that online multiplayer games should have a halo 3 style camera for recording clips and screenshots...nothing like sending your mate a particularly gory headshot when they were on the receiving end...good times...also makes great viewing and great fun for a group of people to go through the video afterwards to see where things went wrong, who killed who and so on...and it provides lots of "i can't believe i pulled that shot off" moments...however, this should be great fun
sweeeeeeeeeeeet man
why so many thumbs down? this is awsome!
oh my god i cant wait for this amazing game to it looks and sounds so much better
This game sounds very tasty indeed. I can't wait for more information to be released.
Man, I can't wait. All sorts of awesome. The game looks beautiful.
It will also be 60FPS, according to Insomniac games from a statement made a couple months back.
why is their 21 thumbs down? their should be 0
I played the first resistance and loved it. I sold my PS3 because i needed extra money since i got a speeding ticket, and i figured my 360 would be more than enough... its games like this that will have me going to Sony's system... whens this come out?
This game will be amazing
I rly can't w8 for this gameee!!!!!!
Nathan Hale is back!! Two full campaigns!! Can't wait for this one!!
DDDDDAAAMMMMM WWWWOOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!!!!, what else can i can to that new.
AWESOME. This game will own, and yeah I hope the graphics are a bit better compared to the first, as they aren't really too great compared to other games. The stat tracking thing should be awesome, like Halo 3. Halo 3 pretty much set the standard for an fps, but this will be just as awesome hopefully.
Awsome! This is what im longing for most in 08 except Killzone 2!
whoa thats massive hahaha...time to kill!!!!
Wow. It's exactly as surfer girl's blog described it. I guess we can start taking her more seriously now. This looks awesome.
psn id...XsilverXbulletX
i cant even wait to get this game i own the first one and it still rules.
Two seperate campaingns? Didnt realise this. That seriously rocks :o
well..the first one was ok,the storyline was really good but the online jus sucks!!especially since the update,i havent played resistance online ever since last year after madden and call of duty came out,sorry but cod4 will still kick this games butt in online gaming
*Cough* Wait til' GDC! *Cough*
HOLY **** This game is going to ROCK!!! 60 players online. 2 different campaigns. 8 PLAYER CO-OP. HOOOOOOOOOOOOLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE BBQ SAUCE I can't wait for this one. I think the Killzone 2 devs just crapped their pants because they have no chance going against this beast. BEAST! I tell you.
Thissss is greeeeeeaaaat I so want this game if all this is true this is going to be a super game. I hope its release in 08 if not early 09. Not even halo or gears can compare now
i really need to finish the first one now XD
Ahh look at the thumbs down. I have seen similar reactions across multiple websites.

About time we got some info.
Does Sony own Insomniac?
OHHHHH MY GODDDDD!!! i think this is beating out killzone 2 well for me anywyas maybe??? BUT!!! will it feature vehicles online????
AWESOME!!!!
W/ two campaigns does that mean two different story lines?
Resistance Fall of Man set the bar for online FPS with lag free 40 player online matches and stunning single player campaign with more on screen action than any competiton from the other system. Now Insomniac WILL raise the bar even higher with 60 player online EIGHT PLAYER COOP online, and now with texture streaming as Uncharted and Ratchet and Clank did. The competition can go home now.
man this game is going to own! 60 players online.......60!!!!! this is just ridiculous now just try to keep up muahahaha...............................ssssssiiiiiiiixxxxtttttyyyyyy!!!!!jajaja maybe resistance 3 will have a 100 players online hahaha
OMFG 60, I use to win on a 40 player free for all, now 60, damn
that is awsome!!!!!!!!!!!! RFOM was great too, i love the co op its the best and 60 player online holy mother of satan thats wicked... cant wait
Mo-green28... (Begins skeeting in his pants)
FFFUUUUUUUCCCKKKKK YEEAH! Woohoo!!
60 people online? woah, that will be awesome
Mein Gott im Himmel (peeing pants)
good news, i really liked the first one. it looks like they are changing alot.
WOOT!!! This game is gonna rock!!!!!
must e some xbots giving the thumbs down...
jealousy is not a good trait...
Lets all hope that this doesnt affect the antiscipation for Killzone2 as well. Since both are now thee most antiscipated first person shooters i honestly think it wont affect killzone 2 at all i just think that maybe they should release like not so close to each other but a great distance like if resistance 2 comes out in a summer in some year.
And then like killzone2 would release like during the early spring 1yr after.
This game is going to be awesome. I loved part one and cant wait for the rest
we gonna find out about nathen hales "inncodent" and YAY SQUADS ONLINE the chaos in the furst one was jsut stupid funny how i always top the leader board when i first start playing a game but after a couple of days i turn into a rookie and suck from there on
BUT one thing is do you people rellay belive this will be comming out in "Fall" home was meant to come out in "Fall" LAST YEAR i can jsut see another delay comming on or mabye thye only delya the relly good stuff any way im calling it "Fall" with "" CAS ITS CALLED AUTUMN and the entire world is not american state aproximate mothns dont state seasons some places dont even have an autumn
I'm gonna SHAT on Myself. 60 Players online, 8 player co-op and 2 story modes. I'm gonna SCREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well it appears that Sony's PS3 2008 line up just got an awful lot stronger. I'll be intrigued to read more on this game, look at screen shots etc see it moving maybe. I thought R:FOM online was briliant and I still love it because its so fast paced. Looking at the exclusives coming out this year on PS3 it looks like there are some really compelling reasons to own a PS3:
Home
Killzone 2
Haze
Gran Turismo 5
Metal Gear Solid 4
Final Fantasy XIII and Versus XIII
God of War III
White Knight Story
LA Noir
and now Resistance 2
That's not taking into account current great exclusives like Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, Heavenly Sword, Ratchet & Clank, Motor Storm, Warhawk and Eye of Judgement. Crumbs I've even missed off SOCOM, WIpeout and the Agency off the above list. I love my XBOX 360 I really do but I think it'll be gathering dust in 2008!!! I'm really excited about my PS3 now. Can anyone else add to the above lists???
WOW Insomniac have a sh!t load of work to do (2 campains and a huge multiplayer experince) I'm having doubts if the game will be released in 2008 at all, still hope it is. I hope they follow Konami's example and take as much time as needed to complete this game.
I missed infamous off my list. How could I?
This year gonna be crazy good for PS3 so much exclusive games and now resistance 2 shock guys shock i can't w8!!!!
Didnt like the first game so I wont get it =)
We will show no Resistance! Prepare yourselves for part deux!
INFACT when will the game be released. I will have to start rubbing my hands together for this great game. i am very pleased with these changes Insomniac has brought into the game. And as the presenter rightly said this is another reason for one to own a ps3. Long live Sony long live INSOMNIAC GAMES
Insomniac and Sony for teh win!!!!
looking forward to it... well done insomniac keep it up
I've heard a lot about RFOM2 since last year 2007. Now a magazine revealed RFOM2 screens. What is next? GDC = RFOM2 trailer?
Online co op?? Oh , it's on!!
I really want Killzone 2 to be a good game. But I have HUGE doubts about it. It's crazy how big the hype is around this game EVEN after the first one sucked so badly. I tried to play it the other day and I have to say that the controls on it are the worst I have ever experienced for a FPS. Resistance looks AWESOME though.
ok this just made my desicion about buying UTIII and Killzone 2 a bit harder and my desicion about buying COD4 alot easier(as in i'm definatley not buying COD4 now), mabye i should get all three, although i never normaly buy more than one of the same type of game. but all of these games are different, can't wait for this.
The first one already set the bar high with 40 players online, now this one will have 60...GADDAMN!! Most definately will be getting this...
@ The Mask ...you are missing out bigtime. COD4 is the best FPS on consoles at this moment. And its gonna be rocking hard until COD6 comes out (infinity ward is not making COD5....plus its gonna be WW2 again, so COD6 is the best one to look forward to)
ps3 will have some good games comming out then end of this year microsoft will hve to make some halo game just to keep up
I hope it has a 4 player split screen offline. Me and my buddies love getting together every Friday with the First Resistance.
how about 64 players online on battlefield 2142 ?
its nothing new really....
Battlefield sucks this rocks.
Haveing 60 players is going to be amazing but im not really liking the sound of having classes... I like the weapon system right now but w/e I am still plying the first one online. I will no doubt get this.
No way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! these new features are unheard of. yes!!!!! Insomniac wont disappoint they always deliver. GOTY 2008.
cant wait holla! 1FAM
I hope it does have 60 players but I will beleive it when I see it...
60 players on one map it's gonna be crazy :O
wow this is gonna b awesome
All this wudn be possible without Blu-Ray....XBOX WILL FALL But de 360 wont
Blu-ray for the win!!!
Insomniac games will u marry me?
Damn! 101 coments so far... You know its gonna be one of the most anticipated this year!!! Im sure as h3ll gettin dis game!
wow I really hope Insomniac makes a lot of money for this, they seem to be bending over backwards for us PS3 owners, and other developers such as Naughty Dog, Uncharted isnt selling as good as I hoped, the game is so beautiful! but anyway, 60 players online?!?! take that! weak 360 can never handle even half of that! I always wondered why.... it usually has 8 or 16 players... look at gears,
only 8 players, but anyway, Resistance is gonna rock 2008 into the sky!
oh and I am an owner of all nex-gen consoles, even Wii, im not a fanboy, though it may seem so, I just really love my PS3
With Resistance 2 everyone is going to start taking the PS3 more seriously. And this online setup is revolutionary for a console, and many games are going to try and replicate this for years to come.
I can't w8 for new information about game.So much ppl wanna see that :)
great, that was crazy!!! 60 players in online mode and 8 player co-op, who would have thought that this could come true!!! this is gonna be good :P
daam dat means imma b able to own 60 players at 1 time WOOO this is gonna b CRAZY
i think resistance 1 is better than halo 3
Awesome cant wait. Love the first Resistance. But I wish & Hope it will have 4 player spilt screen like the 1st one.
i think i seen u in RFOM.mustang is dat ur real psn?
Too good can't w8
u know something that will be awesome!!!? more variety in enemies my opinion(i love resistance) but in the campaign the hybrids were the same but with different clothing...i wish they could make a much more variety in enemies that would be awesome......ER! and more weapons i've seen the pictures and the hybrids have the same bullseye weapon that on the first.....please don't be like halo that all the good weapons remained in the game...its ok to put 1 or 2 (or the same but different bullets or design)but putting more in addition to the online its gonna be like perfect 10/10 5/5 40/40 100%!!!!
