More Resistance 2 details emerge

http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=90675

Semi-official Sony blog Three Speech has let loose more details of the newly unveiled Resistance: Fall of Man sequel.

Action will take place in the United States, apparently, and feature partially randomised geometry to keep things fresh each time you blast through it.

Those gigantic 60-player online battles will be squad-based, and have you choose your role from one of three classes: a hardy soldier with heavy weaponry, a special ops type for ranged attacks like sniping and a medic.

Resistance 2 will matchmake you with others of your skill too, ensuring you never face a team disproportionately better than yours.

New enemies will also feature, unsurprisingly, such as Chameleon and Stalker baddies with a cloaking ability. Arnold could beat them.

Insomniac has also taken feedback from the first game to improve long checkpoints and the health system, as well as using more of the PS3 power to cram greater numbers of enemies on screen and boost their intelligence to Key Stage 2.

Yesterday US magazine Game Informer revealed its Resistance 2 cover feature, effectively announcing its arrival to the world.

The biggest new additions are a separate eight-player co-operative campaign (or two-player in local mode), and the enormous online battles.

Resistance 2 is due for release this year on PS3, according to Three Speech, and you can see the first shots over in our gallery.

sounds like the info we allready knew for the most part...

Heavenly Sword and Motorstorm ARE great. they lack content on the disk, but the games are truelly great. to bad you didn't play them, seriously.

This game is going to be amazing.

And still no Killzone 2 information to be found :|

Yeah that IS funny. Still Killzone 2 is so in the dark and quiet. Which is either good or bad because the game sucks and they don't want you to know yet lol Like when they don't allow the press to pre-screen movies and do early reviews because they are bad movies like AVP etc...

Although I personally liked Killzone 1. I just hope they don't do something dumb like entirely getting rid of the squad we played with in game 1 and going somewhere. With all the little info we have on this game and NO images or vids of the team from game 1 as I recall I'm worried.

But yeah Resistance 2 sounds like a game I gotta play now. i still wanna play 1 too. Darn I need to get a PS3... lol Wish I had the extra money for it

oooh!

So the multiplayer now, is just Team fortress only without an amazing development team behind it. and a mss of players :P

Im just shooting in the dark here, but im gonna take a crack at what "randomized geomerty" is in relation to video game levels. I would guess it means that each time you play a level, it would be different, how big a difference is still unknown. So maybe the general layout of buildings, trees and what not will be moved around and maybe towers and hills will be randomly placed and have random shapes/heights each time you play. If this works out well, it would be great for stopping all those damn campers who just memorize the level, find one good place to hide and stay there a snipe all day. It would give new comers a fair and equal chance at winning. As great as this sounds, i would geuss there are also alot of technical problems that come into play. By randomizing geometry, it becomes next to impossible to test out every single possible lay out, so the game may be more prone to glitches and exploits....well, thats my shot in the dark :P
