Resistance 2 Media Depicts Ugly Armored Beasts

It's pretty damn amazing how far they have pushed the engine in just over a year. I'm looking forward to the weapons since it's Insomniac and we'll probably get a whole new arsenal set for this one.

Decent shots, I think the four legged tank thing is pretty cool. Wonder how it moves.

On to something maybe I don't understand. These guys attacked earth in the late 40's? Is that the idea? How are they losing with intergalactic space travel and laser rifles?

I thought the first Resistance was an above average launch title but decidedly average fps on the whole - a shock to be honest as I love Insomniac's other work. The massive improvements over the first in both graphics and feature sets gets me so excited its probably my most anticipated game for 2008.

I've never been a big fan of the enemy designs, but I'm really glad the colors aren't muddy like the first game.

Nice screens, but the aliens armor looks too boxy. Like their parents made them the suit for halloween out of milk cartons and tin foil.

Ever since the Killzone 2 "photochop" debacle, which was pretty ridiculous when you consider that there were movies of the game all over the net, everyone is an "expert" on paintovers. Insomniac aren't a new company with untested tech. There already is Resistance (1) and Ratchet and Clank and they may (I don't know) still be sharing engine tech with Naughty Dog (I don't care much for elements of Drake's Fortune, but the tech looks pretty good). Does anyone really think they will never improve the original Resistance engine? That game was in progress before Sony even finalized the PS3 or the dev kits. Nothing in these pictures looks like anything more than an evolution of the original game, so I have no problem believing Insomniac will pull off things like those walkers...that look like the walkers in "Universe at War"...just not red. I agree that the enemies are a weakness, though (or at least the generic foot soldier). I've never been a fan of "what would really make this POP are HUGE POINTY teeth" designs. Yes, this includes you Epic, and your "UT3 needs a crappy enemy that looks like a Minotaur with eczema."

Ratchet and Clank ended up looking pretty damn close to the first screens they released so I'm confident that it'lll be good looking, but that hand painted quality in some of those shots, particularly of the giant mech, looks too good to be true. I still think this game is going to surprise a lot of people though. I think this one will be big.

The overall improvement of PS3 graphics seemingly from release to release is very encouraging.

probably the best looking ps3 game i've ever seen...looks more like an artistic painting than a video game

Man, that's some lazy enemy design. The tanks don't look too bad, though.

This could be really cool. I liked the 1st Resistance. It wasn't anything revolutionary, but it took good ideas from CoD, Half-Life, Halo etc. and combined them into a very solid game with lots of SP & MP content. The game looked pretty good, but was visually held back by the lack of streaming which caused the textures to be a bit simplistic and repetitive. If they take their rock solid gameplay and add some fancy stuff and really reach he level of visual quality shown here, this could be a big thing. With this and Killzone 2 you got two pretty promising exclusives.

It's nice to see co-op coming in so many games. I look forward to playing the 2-player campaign with my friend. Fuck knows where we'll find six other people with PS3s to play the 8-player mode, though. I only know three people with PS3s and one of them is me.

Nice screenshots as well, and it reminded me that they have a neat setting for the game that I'd happily spend more time in. I just hope they're a bit more innovative with the gameplay this time as while the first game was good, it didn't really have any special gameplay that hadn't been seen in other FPS before. I hope the loading and the initial install times are improved as well. I'll most likely buy this though, unless the reviews aren't good. Even an average (in terms of gameplay) FPS is fun played co-op with a friend.

Looks pretty neat, and I've got Resistance on my table waiting to be played... finally, some PS3 lovin'!

Awesome, I had no idea they hired Rosie Odonnell to do the motion cap.
