Resistance 2 video: Insomniac unveils new gameplay footage and details

Geoff Keighley of GT TV recently rounded up members of Insomniac Games' crew for a Q&A session regarding Resistance 2. Insomniac president Ted Price was among those present, and was more than happy to introduce some new details regarding the game.

For starters, Price noted that by the time Resistance 2 begins, game protagonist Sgt. Nathan Hale only has 19 hours to live. Price didn't explain how or why this is the case, though it certainly adds intensity to Hale's plot, even as he once again enters the fray against the chimeras. Here are some of the other interesting tidbits Insomniac mentioned in the video - don't worry, there are no plot spoilers:

Focuses on Hale - he's got 19 hours to live
One boss in Resistance 2 is 300 feet tall
No pullouts to show narration - it all within Hale's perspective
Hale isn't the only soldier immune to the Chimeran virus
Starts two years after Resistance: Fall of Man
Eight-player Co-op campaign, with specialized roles
Setting: Downtown Chicago and San Francisco
The Hailstorm's gone
No vehicles for the multi-player bouts

And lest we forget, expect to see generous amounts of gameplay footage, which should give you an idea of how far along the title is in development. Aside from Resistance 2, expect to see some extra clips discussing THQ's upcoming game based on the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), and Activision's Guitar Hero: Aerosmith (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii). Grab a chair, maybe a drink, and enjoy the video!

This story sucks? This story rocks!

the timer could stop and there could be flashbacks (or flash forwards, like Lost?) in between - whether shown as cutscenes or flashbacks that actually allow you to control Nathan Hale. who knows?

they can also add some unlockable mode (probably when you finish campaign mode?) where you can control another character in his or her journey that takes place DURING Nathan Hale's 19 hours. kinda like how they do it in Resident Evil.

check out that one bulletpoint in the list:

"Hale isn't the only soldier immune to the Chimeran virus"

pretty intriguing if they chucked in a little bonus where you get to follow the footsteps of another one of those soldiers immune to the virus. ^_^

i know the devs said they're focusing a lot on Hale's story. but that doesn't mean they can't throw in a sidequest mode focusing on another character. *shrug* that's one of the many reasons why i like the RE games. extends replayability. ^_^

just tossing around ideas.

Or he turns into a Chimera himself! But does he switch sides, or continue on his mission?

Or after the 19 hours, maybe we play as the Cloven?

Whatever happens, I'm so excited

# I asked that same question — Someone_PR 2008-06-14 14:33

what they tell me in the blog is... don't worry... we are not 24 lol

# Awesome Theory, Gino. — NarooN 2008-06-14 16:25

That theory just got me even more pumped up for the game, which shouldn't be possible because I'm on my 2nd playthrough of MGS4 now.

The game is told completely through Hale's point of view right? That means it's narrative style is just like the Half-Life and Portal games, which is really great. I'm thinking that this other immune soldiers will possibly go 'against' Hale or lead him in the right direction. Whomever they may be, they'd probably play a passively active role.

And since the multiplayer co-op ties in with the main quest, does that mean this other soldier could make an appearance there, or even Hale himself? I love upcoming game speculation. More time to wait...oh well. MGS4 is here, with MGO.

*goes off to play*

# No Hailstorm? — ValiX 2008-06-14 16:46

No more Hailstorm? Damn that was a fun gun to use. Handy when you were on low health and surrounded by enemies. Turret anyone?

# The Hailstorm — Eclipze_ 2008-06-14 19:14

was my favorite gun in the game >.

# Random. — NarooN 2008-06-15 04:39

Every comment in this article is 5 stars.

*random*

Except this one. =O

Probably not soon. XD

# I hope they improve the multiplayer. — yworob 2008-06-15 06:44

I thought the multiplayer for the first game was terrible. I know this was Insomniacs first FPS so its not surprising that it wasnt done well but now that they have their feet wet I hope they come up with some better level designs and make it easier to tell what the f*** is going on. All people seemed to do was hide behind a bush and snipe people (boring).

# LOL — whaleshark 2008-06-15 13:47

He has AIDS.

end of story. dies right then and there. shouldnt have tried to make babies with that chimeran angel in the first one.

# meh — death 2008-06-15 22:38

i never beat the first one

# lmao — scarface_tha_second 2008-06-16 03:18

I knew interspecies baby-making was a bad idea.

# lol me either. — NarooN 2008-06-16 03:43

I got bored and stopped about 1/4 through. It was just a bunch of randomly interconnected levels and drab environments so I hopped on wikipedia and read a plot summary.

Then I went online for a few days and got bored of that too.

# Looking VERY forward to this game — Lazyboy256 2008-06-16 16:17

Will get the first one to catch up on the story, then get the second one after.

Insomniac FTW!
