Resistance 2 multiplayer beta applications available [Update] photo

If you’re over 18, have a PlayStation Network account, and are excited about the opportunity to bust some alien heads in the 1950s, then Insomniac may have the beta for you. Starting today, Insomniac is accepting applications for the Resistance 2 limited beta that will go live this October.

Signing up is simple and after submitting the application via the official website you won’t have to worry about cutting your hair or passing a urine analysis. In fact, the process is fairly painless and requires only a few questions answered.

The bad news is that not everyone who signs up for the beta will be granted access, as is the nature of a limited beta. People who strike gold in the process will be notified via e-mail about their participation at an unknown time.

What are you waiting for? Go sign up and tell me the first thing that you’ll do if you get the chance to explore Resistance 2 early.

[Update - It appears as though I used the wrong URL or Insomniac changed where the application is located. I would like to think that this wasn't my mistake, but it totally is. The link above has been updated, but you can also click here for the application.]

@'the opportunity to bust some alien heads in the 1940s'

Resistance is set in the 1950's. I had to point that out because I am a dick.

Starting Today, not Starting Now. Someone wake me up when it goes live.

Yup, not quite ready yet.

[quote]Thank you for your interest in the online beta for Resistance 2, but this phase is only open to invited participants. Don’t despair. We will soon accept applications for players to participate in the Open Beta for Resistance 2 that will start later this year. Just check back here over the next couple months for information about and ultimately the chance to apply for the Open Beta.

Thanks for your interest,

You know, that's odd because the link was working earlier. Hang on.

Same as Qalamari.

Sorry you are not approved to participate in the Online Beta (yet)!

The post has been updated, and I switched the 1950s thing. Damn alternate history stuff.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

If I get to play early I will write below this uncomplete sentence...

Did you know that there are only like 30 people on at any given time on this beta? It's kinda lame as when all the lobbies are full I DO NOT want to start up my own little room and sit idle waiting for others to join as the amount online is sooo small it hurts.

So far the Beta seems slow when compares to the first Resistance, especially the multiplayer aspect. Co-op is fantastic and I really enjoy blasting tons and tons of baddies in the face but the over all pace still seems a tad slow, even when sprinting. I hope they change this in the complete version.

Also little tid bit here is the file's called "Girl With A Stick" for somereason....so I assume when I launch it it tells people that name rather than Resistance 2.

Capturing and posting screenshots online.
Discussing the private beta in any forums other than MyResistance.net's beta-specific boards.

@Iron_Gamer - I believe you use your own. Is it not working properly?
