The latest issue of Game Informer hit shelves today, and nestled between its glossy pages are the newest details on Resistance 2. Anyone with a lick of sense and a PS3 (and some without) has been greatly anticipating this game and the new details will only add to that anticipation.
The sequel to arguably the best launch release for the PS3 will be introducing character classes featuring a tank, medic, and specialist for multi-player. In addition to character classes, two story modes will be available, one for single player and one for local split screen or 8 player coop. Multi-player sessions will now support up to 60 players, with players splitting into 4 to 8 man squads with a host of objectives for each squad. Supposedly the objectives are to keep things from devolving into giant, bloody, free-for-alls which is ok I guess, though most of the people I know are into giant, bloody, free-for-alls.
In addition to expanded multi-player and new character classes Resistance 2 will feature randomized geometry within levels and is boasting graphics and performance that will take advantage of the PS3 power "like never before". Kotaku quoted Game Informer as saying "Resistance 2 will be too epic to dismiss as anything but one of the biggest, boldest, and most high-reaching titles of 2008. It's a game that won't be ignored". I was already sold on the game when reports of it's development started to surface, hearing something like this is just the icing on the cake.

Wasn't Resistance: Fall of Man already released?
My brother in-law came over and we played that game co-op all the way through. A priceless experience for sure. I need to get my hands on a PS3 someday. This sequel is going to kick ass.
I've played it two times. 1 time to see if it was anygood.
And another to see if Co-op was good.
Glad it was a free with purchase game, or it would be the worst game I ever bought, and I had Beyblade for PS1...
But I'll probably buy it anyway. For some reason it sounds like it's gonna be good.
I will be buying this as I had a lot of fun with the 1st one, and I enjoyed online quite a bit.
Oh @I love fried chicken
Have you even played the game?
ummm... that an algorithm is used instead of a static script?
Well at least you played...lol
The 1st RFOM (as of June 2007) sold over 2 million copies, I don't see that as a failure.

I couldn't find any new info on total sales.
"Gears of War has been highly successful since its release; it sold over three million copies in just ten weeks and was the fastest-selling video game of 2006"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gears_of_war
What I meant more specifically was that it may be the only successful game for the PS3 right now as I hear almost nothing about any other PS3 exclusive titles.
@brain
Its the same sort of story and released at the same general time. You know alien race trying to take over earth.
I hear ya; however, the 360 was out a good year before it's release where as RFOM was a launch title.
I highly doubt it would have sold over 3 million copies in ten weeks had it been a launch title.
Once MGS4, FF or little big planet is out we can get a better idea of titles selling fast.
Is what I meant to type!
they know their limits and as of right now it appears they are madmen fully capable of tearing console shooters a new corn hole.
i claim this day as resistance day!

its = it is
it's = possesive
I think you made a grammatical error.
Thumbs up for Resistance 1 and 2! :D
R2 is going to rock if it expands on that, adds some amazing new features and jacks up the textures and graphics. The first game's levels were very impressive but the lack of streaming textures made some of them a little bland.
lol, yeah remember the game informer review? They whined about how the multiplayer was unbalanced because of the Hailstorm!
(for those of you who do not know that weapon is not even in multiplayer, at all.)
I don't want to come off sounding arrogant or haughty but I really have to know. What exactly have you played is a good game?
