Now in the last few months Sony fanboys have pointed to KillZone2 as the FPS saving grace on the PS3, to which it will arm the PS3 to boot and go into battle with the 360 and its Halo 3. From there you get into messy discussions on how good of a game was halo3 actually, or how the first killzone sucked, even why the 360 sucks because of the RRoD (dunno what it has to do with games...=/ ). Well "surfer girl" (who ever that bloody is, and im not even sure i take 'her' seriously when 'she' talks about news...like 'her' statement "expect gears of war 3 in blah" they need to finish the 2nd before they worry about the 3rd...honestly i can throw years out there and hope im right too) made a few statements about Resistance 2 back in 07, and finally we get some info from the developers mouth itself.
Resistance sort of gave me a Halo vibe, the first one sold alright...was well done, fans enjoyed it, great single player and multi player experiance, etc. however Resistance like Halo1 never really got the mass appeals to which its talked about to no end. both are solid FPS titles that just about ever ps3 owner i know owns...enjoyed...is willing to play a couple times...but doesnt seem to talk about it unles prompted to do so. So when Resistance 2 was announced, i didnt expect the mass ammounts of people flooding to look at the information like it did yesterday. in the ps3 forums on gametrailers, there was upwards to 1000 people looking at the resistance 2 thread. then i started to think about how this is just like halo2. you never really heard about halo other than xbox owners telling you its great when prompted, but when halo2 was on the way every one and their mom seemed to have played halo or was in love with halo.
I just see some similar ties here, and perhaps by resistance 3...we might have another series that reaches to main stream levels like halo did.
