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

They magically find a cure.
Or he dies and it's all epic and awesome.
Seriously though, that's a cool little plot twist. Looks like the story will actually been entertaining this time.

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 after the 19 hours, maybe we play as the Cloven?
Whatever happens, I'm so excited

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*
