GDC 09: New Resistance 2 DLC and patch coming up photo

Here in the PlayStation Blog Lounge at GDC 2009, we got a first hand look at the upcoming Resistance 2 DLC coming your way tomorrow.

The main attraction is new competitive multiplayer maps in something called the Aftermath Map Pack, priced at $5.99. In it you'll get three new battlefields, with one set in Orick and the other two in Twin Falls. All of them feature 20-player deathmatch and team deathmatch action, and Orick also has 20-player Core Control. 

We were told that all of these maps are smaller and more intimate than the others, roping you tighter into the action. You're going to die more.

Also shown were a few new skins, priced at $.99 each. They are as follows: Rachael Parker, (for the ladies?) Female Soldier, Ravager, Cloven, Ranger Variation, and Black Ops Variation. Some of these are customizable to help differentiate you among the other online players. 

Finally, there's a patch, called version 1.50. This adds a new Superhuman Co-op mode, support for a second login, and a new Meltodown mode. The PlayStation Blog has a few more details on the patch.

Grab all of this on March 26th, tomorrow, on the PlayStation Store.

Wasn't there some kind of noise about the second-login patch being dependent on the next release of the PS3 firmware, which was still scheduled for April?

Superhuman mode sounds awesome!! No auto-respawning after death and double the XP and grey-tech, plus its harder. Um, I vote to bring R2 back into Friday Night Fights!! haha

Loving the second player log-in as well. That is was what I probably disliked most about the game. Too bad no new coop maps yet though.

1.50 patch seems good, everything else is crap.

I'm a bit disappointed, that there are no new multiplayer coop maps, but superhuman mode sounds pretty nice.

Good news! I've been waiting for that patch to fix the offline co-op. Now to find this game cheap somewhere...

Damn. In the comments section of the ps.blog Stevenson mentions that the support for multiple logins is already there, so the 2.7 actually might not be out until April. Before it seemed likely that they would need to come out together, but other games must just not have updated to support that yet.
