Breaking News :- Resistance :Fall of Man 2 Details

"Aside from the first and last level, the game takes place entirely in the United States, where someone who may or may not be Sgt. Nathan Hale (who plays a role in the story) has to deal with the Chimeran invasion of the US in such places as San Francisco and Chicago. And there is a cliffhanger ending that sets up for a third title. Vehicles will be included in multiplayer this time around, one will be able to take to the sky with three new vehicles or boogie it down on the ground with the three vehicles from the first game's Campaign.
There's even a tentative release date of November 2008. Again, it could all be pure speculation, but if it turns out to be true, you'll thank us. Or Surfer Girl. How about both?"

[nasim]

is the best FPS of all time.

HOOOOO....vehicles in MULTIPLAYER MODE.

KZ2 and RFOM 2....OMG 2008 is a total killing year for ps3.

RFOM 2 would shatter all sales records on DAY 1.

RFOM is already around 3 m at the moment. It has sold over 115 000 copies in JAPAN (a dead territory for FPS games)

@DR SELF

Bioshock is the MOST BORING FPS of all time. Bioshock has ar best 2 enemies per screen . Almost 60% of people who bought Bioshock has traded that super boring game with other games.

Half Life/Halo 3 is nowhere near Resistance. Gametrailers/G4Tv, Gamereactor ---all termed RESISTANCE as the best FPS of all time.

and everyone agrees to that except MS moneyhats like IGN,GAYSPOT ,GAY up and GAYGM and small BOT fanbase like you

BTW people Bioshock has no ONLINE/MP .

[riqued]

Yeah RFOM is really underrated! this was the best news I got today!!!!!!
LOVE THE GAME SO MUCH!

[eXplotion]

im more hyped by R:FOM2 than by KZ2... resistance is trully the best FPS ive played.

[TheSadTruth]

I'm a 360 owner and love my Halo and GoW but my roomate had the original on his PS3 and I thought it was a pretty good game. The multiplayer needed work though, to kill people all you have to do is throw a grenade at their feet and they instantly die.. doesn't take too much skill. The maps just had so many players in congested areas that it was just spawn, kill, repeat and it was kind of boring in my opinion. There is an atrocious amount of autoaim which makes it almost a bore to aim and shoot at people since it does most of the work for you. Hopefully they fix these issues. There goes my bubbles.

[eXplotion]

Actually.. the fact that RFOM has so many players online in one map and that its so fast-paced is what makes this the icredible game it is. Its actually a challenge for me to kill more than 2 people in a row using a single life because theres always someone coming from behind that may kill you easily if youre not paying attention.

And yes, fragging instantly kills an opponent if timed and aimed correctly, but its not as easy as you say it is and it does requires some skill. Finally, ive never felt that the auto-aim feature helps me that much in this game, thruth is, I barely notice it.

[xplosneer]

"All you have to do is throw a grenade at their feet an they instantly die." NO WAY! OMG!

[DrSelfDestructX]

"Resistance according to all EU websites and unbiased US websites
is the best FPS of all time."

Unbiased huh? Play Half Life and Bioshock and come back to us.
Resistance is hardly "The best FPS of all time". And im sure others would agree with me.

[unsunghero28]

Resistance is fantastic, don't get me wrong. But I think that saying it's the best FPS of all time might be inaccurate, especially considering all of the great unparalleled PC experiences.

Well, still, that's just my opinion. For what it's worth, I prefer Warhawk to Resistance.

@Nasim and everyone who agreed with him:
Whoa, guys. Whoa.

As I said before, I agree that Resistance is a fantastic FPS... but, come on, discrediting every other shooter available is just fanboyism at its most despicable. Nasim, you've obviously never played BioShock, because if you have you would know that it is a game not yet matched in cinematic quality. Your ridiculously fake return rate statistic would have brought be to take a bubble from you but- lo and behold- you have none left.

So, to reiterate, yes, Resistance is a great game. But there is nothing I HATE more about N4G (or about video game media at all for that matter) than insulting a perfectly good game because you hate the console that it's on. That's just low, guys, I don't care what side you're on.

[TheSadTruth]

"
"All you have to do is throw a grenade at their feet an they instantly die." NO WAY! OMG!
"

grenades should take timing and skill idiot, no need for your stupid sarcasm

OMG its so hard to toss a nade like a proximity mine and kill anyone instantly

the fact that theres more people doesnt mean it takes more skill, there is nothing skillful about spawning and having 2 people in front of you to kill

I would expect PS3 owners to know much about first person shooters since the PS2 offered nothing worth buying

It's amazing you guys think resistance is the best fps of all time when you probably have never played a quality first person shooter and are comparing it to crap like Time Splitters and Red Faction

sad fanboys...

"And yes, fragging instantly kills an opponent if timed and aimed correctly, but its not as easy as you say it is and it does requires some skill."

No, you don't have to even aim correctly because the autoaim practically aims for you

Pretty much 99% of all players I played were horrible, including the level 60 guys (which is the max level)

I Hate being blunt, but you 12 year olds and your zealous devotion to Sony seems to get to me

[FirstknighT]

The best FPS of all time??? HAHA, no wonder this kid has 162 ignores. Show me one link that says Resistance is the best fps of all time.

[Skizelli]

Perhaps the best FPS on a PlayStation since Red Faction, sure. But to say it's above the likes of Doom, Quake, Duke Nukem 3D, Half-Life, GoldenEye 007, Perfect Dark, Unreal Tournament, Halo, all of which had cult followings, is a pretty bold statement. I feel sorry for the "gamers" that limit themselves and/or devote themselves to a single console.

[vickers500]

TheSadTruth = Fanboy

[xplosneer]

Exactly, the auto aim is a bit annoying. That's what you should have said. And I agree. Bigger maps hopefully.

[btkadams]

sounds sweet. i could see that happening.
SPOILER

at the end of resistance 1, maybe nathan hale is being taken by the us government because theyve seen him defeat the chimera in england. they take him back to america to help defeat the chimera that have migrated from russia over to north america. the second game ends with you defeating the chimera in north america and sets up for the third game where u head into russia to learn the secrets of how the chimera came to be and how to stop it all. DUN DUN DUN. lol. maybe they're trying to make this like the halo series, like a trilogy.

[Vicophine]

Nice theory =D Bubbles for j00

[Panthers]

I think it has more to do with testing. There is something special about him that makes him more powerful, and the Americans want to engineer soldiers like him.... Or at least that is what I think.

[Skerj]

Would be an awesome dynamic, fighting the Chimera trying to take over the world and your superiors trying to capture you for testing. Add in some Cloven love and you have a winner.

[Panthers]

Since this game is all in America (supposedly) I am thinking the 3rd game will be more about the Cloven. 3rd game will probably take the fight to Russia and destroy them.

[Kr155]

Americans already have super soldiers. Anyone notice that most americans you see have thier faces covered? and at the end, the masks the americans who kidnap nathan hale wore have 4 eye holes. Not to mention the oddly gruff voices of the americans tracking you. You know what I mean the ones you can hear over the radio whenever you find a dead american talking about the movments of "grey"? I have more than a suspision that hale is "Grey" which leads me to think they knew about him before sending him in. Mix that in with the surprisingly advanced American weapons. one of wich fires exploding blobs much like the chimeran spiders. I'm willing to bet that the Americans dug up the first spire in Alaska (very close to russia mind you) and while researching the weapons and technology they found accidentally (or maybe even purposfully) released the virus in Russia.

[Jeebus]

Kr155, you know your RFOM. You're making me want to play through and check all that stuff out just to see. I'm all curious now.

By the way. Before the second one comes out, I want you to write me a detatiled paragraph about the game to get me pumped for it. :)

[aaquib5]

Resistance is easily my favourite FPS on PS3, and one of my favourites of all time(up there with Half life, and Unreal). I can't wait for a sequel! 40 player online multiplayer, compelling single player, awesome cool weapons, great maps/environments all on a launch title! I cant wait to see what Insomniac will be doing for their 3rd gen ps3 title!

[xplosneer]

2 Great games(I'm calling Ratchet Great from what I've played of the demo) in a year and a third on the horizon, one with a 88 or so average, Ratchet looking to be around the same or better, and now this. These people are crazy. Generally if you make a game a year you come out with stuff that isn't really a step above like NBA Live 07(08 was actually quite better)

[C_SoL]

FU(K YEA

[sonarus]

I wanna see significant improvements to resistance 2. With the improvements to their engine which is evident in ratchet and clank its not that difficult to assume this will be the case. Glad to know vehicles will be incorporated online too

[Sevir04]

man that would be great. resistance was one launch title that killed tons of other launchs, and what made it even better was that part 2 will run at 60fps. LOL! i freakin cant wait. Ratchet is gold now i suspect that they started working more on Resistance 2 when ratchet cleared Beta and moved towards gold which was sometime in august. leaving the team with the last bit of the work to finish and polish and Ted's team to head back to Resistance. ^^ i cant wait. now they need to do disruptor from PS1 and make a next gen sequel to it or even re make it for PS3 and that would be awesome ^^

[DrPirate]

Don't care what they do, or how they do it, I want them to improve the vehicle and driving mechanics before they get integrated into online play, and I wanna see some sort of online multiplayer coop.

This game, with texture streaming has the possibility of looking amazing. With everything they learned from Resistance and Ratchet and Cland Ftod, Nothing can stop them from making a fresh and killer FPS.

[Primetimebt]

We all know it's coming. This game just wouldn't be the same without Nate he is the only one who has been infected but the only one who resisted the infection.

[Skerj]

I'll buy it regardless but they could do so much for the story and gameplay if they keep Nate and not some new guy.

[Jeebus]

Nate wasn't the only one. There's an unnamed black guy that was infected too when you play in Co-op. But they didn't give him any credit.

[btkadams]

lmao o ya that guy too. i had fun hitting him in the head with my carbine everytime I had to ride an elevator.

[goodganja]

Expect this game to sell and get the promotion similar to what Halo did when it's sequel Halo 2 came out. First one was unknown and got popular on a new system. Sequel will be highly anticipated.

I will be buying this no doubt. Constant good news on PS3 is a premonition of what's to come.

P L A Y B 3 Y O N D

[Panthers]

Just wanna say that this game is INCREDIBLY underrated and is amazing.

[TheHater]

Does these guys know how to make games or what?

[gamesR4fun]

Someone had to say it ;)
Sounds great if its half has solid has the first one we're in for a treat.
Vehicles will rock this line got me real excited "one will be able to take to the sky with three new vehicles" finally a little Warhawk competition on the horizon.

[XBOTSMUSTDIE]

There has never been an over rated game as halo...I don't need scores to tell me a game is good ,I'm capable of making my own decision..I'm not even going to go why halo3 sucks, but that's besides the point...RFOM is a great game and any FPS fan should definitely try it out. 720p60fps should be an incredible nextgen experiance

[Ju]

Yeah, true. They should use Haze for that (they should rename it to HAZ3). Same artificial-natural environment and a bit SciFi, and same rendering style (or similar). And at least both start with an Ha!

Resistance has no need to be compared to Halo, though.

Play B3yond.

[Quickstrike]

equal halo killer in my book. Halo sold the Break box to millions of people and Resistance will sell millions of PS3's (or as i like to call them: you only need one never breakbox).

[XBOTSMUSTDIE]

I can't wait to see it at 60fps. Insomniac already confirm all future titles are 60fps. I don't think it will release this soon though, Maybe spring09. I definitely can't wait and still the best FPS on the nextgen consoles until COD4 comes out. My only complaint I hope they change the health system and make it like COD

[Primetimebt]

Insomianc release RFOM last year, and 11 months later release racket and clank. I'm pretty sure they can get RFOM2 out in nov.

[Ju]

I don't get all that 60fps hype. Would be nice sure, but say we would get 4 times the effects and quality and it will run smooth like the first did on 30fps (and even at 1080p), I would rather go with that.
And you're right. Resistance is one of the smoothest running games out there. Not a single hick up thru out the whole game. You don't really "feel" the 30fps.

Oh, wait...they already got 4 times the effects in R&C and it runs 60fps...well, then. 1080p, next step.

[ReBurn]

But if RFOM is the best FPS ever shouldn't they change COD's health system to be more like that of Resistance?

[Ju]

But unlike in some other shooters, the self healing in RFOM has a reason. The Chimera virus allows them to heal. And Nate is infect with the virus which allows you to heal. He also doesn't heal in the first level, before he got infected...which makes the hard mode super hard, IMO.

[tocrazed4you]

I hope this is true...

[kingofps3]

Obvious stuff.

[gerrard]

If RFOM & rachet and clank is anything to go by then this game could possibly give other FPS a run for their money.

[tocrazed4you]

With mgs4, killzone 2, lbp, final fantasy, white knight story, and now rfom my god 2008 is gonna be big for the ps3...

[XBOTSMUSTDIE]

The get away, 8 days, Killzone2, GT5, GTA5, FF13, FFVS, MGS, LBP, RFOM2.......I think Sony might have a system seller in there somewhere, what do you guys think? Play B3yond

[remix]

finally flying battles. thats one of the things i like about halo. (fanboys please dont take away bubbles for me saying that)
i cant wait to freakin see what how they do this one.

ONLY thing i could really ask for alot better would be some actual cutscenes to explain the story. and maybe a little less brown. but besides this, i do think this game could possible become then next halo. SERIOUSLY, or at least close to it

does anybody know how much halo sold when the xbox first came out in its first year????????????

and bubbles for everyone just because of this annoucement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!lol

[akaFullMetal]

2008 is going to be big, even if sony doesnt sell that many this christmas season, after words with mgs4, ut3, killzon2, home, and now resistance 2, plus many more, this is going to be the year for us ps3 owners

[Deity01]

Sounds amazing, this and I can't wait for Haze, UT3, Mass Effect, Uncharted, RAtchet & Clank, KZ2, MGS4, I'm so anxious.

[Skerj]

I want Nathan to take on more Chimeran characteristics throughout the game and have some sort of human/chimera scale that must be balanced. I'm hoping for a more fleshed out story because the first one set the the rest up for something good. Some parts reminded me of Half Life 2. ..without the gravity gun. More weapons is a given and it'll be fun to see what the Insomniac team come up with now because they pretty much nailed any weapon I could want in the first one sans upgrading.

As far as an online aspect wow the possibilities, of course vehicles BETTER be in. Bigger maps to accomodate said vehicles although some of the current maps seem like they could have them in as well. I'd like a persistant Human vs Chimera online campaign where you all fight over territories on the globe that provide bonuses to whichever side controls them.

Everything will be updated in realtime, something like a hybrid of the Folding@Home globe + the black Map effect in the first game. With that comes very high player customization, more gear, more clothing styles, clan defined outfits for humans, clan defined skin tones/patterns for Chimera etc. It'll keep the online play entertaining for quite a long time.

More Cloven action!! I want to know more about them, possibly even play as one (offline not the unlockable online skin) in a campaign to tie up some story points. I'm also hoping for a more cohesive visual style. I understand the first was a launch title and it's a great game but the World War parts didn't shine as much as the Chimeran archetecture. Then again I can attribute that to seeing the former a kabillion times. With that, I think I'm done with what I'd like to see in Resistance 2. Most of that stuff was thought up while playing the first.

[Essence07]

Oh yeah baby, RoFM was so underated. Hopefuly the sequel will be given more coverage. I'm suse it will be great. 3rd gereneration title for PS3, how could it not?

[HeartlesskizZ]

Please name it "Resistance Rise of Man" it would make more sense and this is sure to be a big hit in 08 =)

[Frances-the-Mute]

that would have been cool, but insomniac mentioned earlier this year
that there would not be a "rise of man"

[secret]

Brisie, how about "fall of man and rise of women"?

Resistance: Rise of females. Rise of girls.

[ErcsYou]

my favorite thing about resistance...the online lobby system... it has definitely matured over the months and as of right now, i think resistance has the best lobby system available on ps3... it does everything right..

[TheHater]

agree dude. That what make me keep coming back to Resistance fall of man. Hell I just came offline on that game. But other games should have a lobby system like the one in Resistance fall of man. And i hope that part 2 have they same lobby system too. Dam warhawk would be so much better if it had a lobby system like Resistance fall of man

[XBOTSMUSTDIE]

I think it was the xbots trying to put it down, but the game got praise by reveiwers and alot of sights compare it to gears of war, rember it was always a draw.

[HeartlesskizZ]

but the game deserve more hype

[xhi4]

i must say, that was the first ps3 game I ever got, and I had been playin 360 games all that time..........and i just went "wow!".

Cnt wait for the sequel!! 2008 is gonna be massive!

[R M Spender]

couldnt come sooner eh?!! how many times can you watch spiderman 3 by then? gooooooo blueray!!!!!

[ChanDangle]

Whatever I think next Nov. would be a perfect time for launch. Majority of the big hitters are coming in spring might as well spread the love out through the year.

[Rammstien_DuHast]

Hale is a Chimera he becomes evil infects others and creates Human Chimera and a new character comes into play

[secret]

Hale fell in love with a female Chimera and settled down. Then, the Chimera clans called the Chimera female a blood-traiter and discriminated against her. As a result, Hale got upset and starts killing Chimeras. LOL.

The Chimeras were uspdet because she was the only known Chimerian female to have ever lived. And they felt rejected because she was a sell-out. LOL...

[DarkArcani]

If it seriously comes out anywhere near Nov. 2008 I would be in awe. Around a one year production time is just insane for anything in this generation.

Talk about efficiency.

Edit: WTF is up with the disagrees? One studio putting out 3 games in 3 years with great production quality and fun levels blowing my pants off. But I am obviously wrong.

[TheHater]

Ratchet and Clank was done in one year. Look how that turn out.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Actually, it was done in 9 months...just so you guys know.

Insomniac has more talent than almost anyone out there.

Seriously...only 9 months for R&CF:TofD...

[Ju]

Actually Insomniacs goal was to have a game out every year. And they mentioned it was hard before because they only had one team. Now they are bigger and can afford two teams. Still the same goal, one game a year. But with two teams they can actually spend more time on a title to get it out, me thinks.

And, Ratchet uses the Resistance engine. So, its hard to work on that with two teams in parallel. At least here they have some dependencies and can't fully do two games at once (except, when the engine will be mature enough to use AS IS - which means no improvements, which OTHO I think won't be true for R2. I am pretty sure they'll squeeze even more out of it until next year).

[IdontTakeSides]

RFOM is underrated i dont see it getting praised like halo...or GeOW..even though they were realised at the same time...which other console FPS has 40 player online..??

But seriously cant wait for the sequel dont wanna think bout it too...lol....

IMO I think this will be better than Killzone 2....but im expecting great things from both..!!

[Frances-the-Mute]

resistance is not a "sell-out" like halo, and is hyped just right, to get the attention it deserves

[ngg12345]

BF, and warhawk are the only ones that come into my mind now.

[eXplotion]

confirmed.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Definitely a killer app.

This could be a premiere series for Playstation.

[Bonsai1214]

thats pretty kickass. i enjoyed the first one quite a bit, i'm hoping for something that has an epic scale to it, like a normandy invasion or something of that type, but you can go along the whole beach, etc

[fenderputty]

After seeing ratchet, I can't wait to see what these guys can do with more time on the second resistance. This game is going to kick so much a$$. Vehicles in online mode makes the game a lot more appealing too. 40 people plus vehicles. Totally awesome. If this is true, next year is going to kick so much a$$ on the PS3.

[IdontTakeSides]

couldnt come sooner eh?!! how many times can you watch spiderman 3 by then? gooooooo blueray!!!!!

uhh I dunno bout you but i'll be very busy in 08...GTA4 ..MGS...Killzone just to name a few...

[Maddens Raiders]

Now this is what I call *News 4 Gamers!

R:FOM - Launch Masterpiece

R:ROM - Console selling Masterpiece

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Losin' bubbles, eh brothuh?

*Using Demond from LOST's accent*

I'll give ya some MR.

RFOM is still my favorite PS3 game. I can't wait for number 2.

[Maddens Raiders]

Thanks Leon, *shoot 'em up for me why don't ya? =]

[Ri0tSquad]

I hope this is true, I loved the first one.

@ Naism......thanks for yet another good laugh
"RFOM 2 would shatter all sales records on DAY 1."

Yeah in your world.

[J@D]

just one word a la MR.Burns: Excellent.

[Kulupoo]

NICE!! I can't wait for the next holiday season? lol
FFXIII,KZ2,RFOM2 thats great :D

[Fade_Walker]

RFOM is the ONLY game that worked online with my crappy connection and runs smooth :)

if RFOM 2 runs as smooth...perhaps some Online Co-Op?

[beast]

MGS4, Littlebigplanet, UT3, Killzone 2, Grand Turismo 5, RFOM2, FFXIII, Eight Days,Gateway,infamous, White Knight Story,eyedentiy,Socom, Motorstorm 2. WOW just WOW oh yeah Afrika

[Genki]

I hope there are some more dynamic differences with weapons and the three races/species.

Firstly, I hope weight and recoil play more a part in what weapons you use.

Another thing I'd like to see is more differentiation with the weapons. They were originaly in concept, but not too much in execution. They were all basically different ways to do varying amounts of damage. There weren't any status effects, nothing to warp or affect the atmosphere or surroundings, nothing to augment player characteristics, etc. etc. I'd like to see all of that, plus certain weapon combos to yield spectacular results.

[Foliage]

This is great news.

Let's hope that San Francisco and Chicago don't take this "game" the wrong way. If you know what I'm getting at...

*cough* Church of England *cough* We all know the high detail and realism this game will feature.

[TheHater]

LOL

[Ju]

LOL. I am just visualizing a big black whole or a "censor bar" where the church is supposed to be. Well, or the Chimera have attacked that first and its nothing left... :) (Sorry church)

[Robotz Rule]

I freaking love Resistance and play it mostly everyday online when I'm not playing Warhawk or Heavenly Sword,Resistance Rise Of Man is gonna own!!!

lol I know Maddens:)

[Maddens Raiders]

I can attest to that, I see you playing it all the time. 8D

[MRMagoo123]

I cant wait this is gonna be huge the first one knocked my socks off specially when ur in the dark and the face huggers come flying out of nowhere and ur like BLAM BLAM BLAM lol sorry abit silly i know but the games great good news nasim

[HarryEtTubMan]

I CAN'T WAIT. I NEED A PS3 IMMEDIATELY. R:FOM is the game that really made me realize how amzing PS3 technology is. The second one is going to be so much better too!

Edit: and some people have this idea that Halo 3 is better because its overrated in America, because its the only really big game Microsft has to rely on... and I swear on anything that Halo in no way is as good as R:FOM. Graphics, framerate, length of game, dark feel to the game, 40 player multiplayer lag free, You're not in a power ranger suit,Amount of enemies on screen is crazy. R:FOM of man is SICK as hell! The only game on 360 that even comes close is MAYBE Gears but thats still only 4 vs 4, short game, really slow paced, only 10 enemies on screen at once. R:Fom just rocks.

[timmyp53]

Resistance kicks @ss.

[Danman35]

America!!!!!! Fuk Yeah!!!!!!!!

[Maddens Raiders]

We're here to save......the muthafkn day yeah!!!!

[ironflag555]

this is one game xbox 360 whish they had on there side

[toughNAME]

lets hope they release Resistance 2 the same time they release Gears 2

...cuz we all know how Resistance won the first battle :P

----------
i think Resistance was a GREAT launch game...i wasnt a huge fan of the multiplayer but i played about half the campaign and had a blast

but this game really doesnt have much substance...and i doubt the 2nd will..unless theres HUGE changes

hey...what other PS3 shooter is all flash and no substance?

[FirstknighT]

...but it still won Game of the Year by every major gaming site/mag while Resistance wasn't even nominated. Your ranting won't change that.

[Genki]

I see you quoting scores, ratings, and averages quite often as if they're some sort of concrete statistic.

You say that is if some so called professional opinion should matter more than ones own personal experience. Sounds a bit backwards if you ask me.

Do you play games, or just the scores game? Do you come here for the news, or to brag about all of the games that the whole world loves for you? Tell me why should someone else deciding a game is good or great mean the same for someone else.

I've said it many times before, but some of you have no idea how foolish you look quoting someone else's opinion about why a game is good to you. I guess having your own opinion is irrelevant these days when you can just refer to a magazine to tell you what to think. You're right then, if that's how you go about living. Gears is the game of the year. Be sure to tune in this fall for them to tell you what to play next.

[Skizelli]

Well said. I get a kick out of the garbage fanboys post; Next year this, next year that, the lists of games that are automatically deemed "game of the year", "the best ever" or "<insert game>-killer". This site has become nothing but a medium for fanboys to sling poo at each other. Most of the articles submitted are jabs at another party or to make one's favored party look better than another. It's sad. And to think, these kiddies are the future. God help us all.

There's really no point in devoting yourself to one console and defending it to the death. It should be about the love of games. Consoles come and go, competition comes and goes. Remember the big Nintendo and Sega war? Where's Sega now? Making mediocre games, that's where. Things change, technology changes, but the great games remain timeless. All successful (and not so successful) consoles have great games. To trash another because you believe to be inferior to another is moronic. And you call yourselves gamers? You shame the true gamers.

[poopface1]

I think gears deserved game of the year because it completley changed 3rd person games. no more lame games like Oni on ps2 or bullet witch on 360. In other words the cover system was toatly new and added depth and realism to the game. but everyone has prefrences and it is perfectly fine if resistance is your game of the year. bt that is really old news anyways

[Skerj]

o_O Didn't Bullet Witch come out after Gears (Feb 2007 in the states)? In any case Gears did not revolutionize the 3rd person shooter. In fact the only original gameplay element in Gears was the active reload system. The rest came from a game we all know as Kill.Switch as admitted by Cliffy B himself. Decent action? Yes it was entertaining, but the story was paper thin and things I wanted some exposition on never occurred.

[pwnsause]

im gonna go broke next year, nuff said...

[Cat]

i think i just went through what i'll call the 3 stages of n4g: excitement about news for an awesome game's sequel, disappointment at the limited details provided, and skepticism of the source.

look forward to hearing more...perhaps from Insomniac?

[gtgcoolkid]

I hate waiting but can do for this great title. Take your time Insomniac and make sure this is one kick ass game.

[biggun2055]

RFOM has to be one of the best games ive played i dont even like
FPS and this game had me up all night and day playing online i can see part two will have me up for weeks whit out sleep if not more one of the best ps3 games of all time

[DEADEND]

It was the first FPS that I like playing online but KILLZONE was the first FPS that I liked period.

[synetic]

THEY WILL SELL HALO 4 by stating "FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER YOU CAN PLAY HALO IN TRUE HIGH DEFINITION 720p) lol
true true and true lolol bubble for that but hey halo 3 is still a good fps but in my opinion resistance is bettter than gow ( graphics are not always the most important thing on a fps )

[Bnet343]

If you like Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, but like Xbox 360 a bit more, does that make you an Xbot? I wish you can like Xbox 360 and PS3 and PS3 people not make fun of Halo 3, I like that game, but I don't hate PS3. :(

[ChanDangle]

Sweet! lemme add didn't bungie say they weren't working on the next halo as of yet meaning there won't be another halo for a few more years if not the next xbox. Halo 2.5 ftmfw! in for teh next genz waiting to upgrade from 640 to 720pdizzle.

[Bathyj]

No, you're not and Xbot if you like both machines, even if you like Xbox more. Thats fine. Have a bubble.

As for Sonyfanboys picking on Halo, I understand your pain, people picking on something you love and I think its a great game too, but I also feel Xbots bring it on themselves so even though I dont condone it, I have no sympathy for them either. Try following a few of the Hardcore Bots comments to see what I mean. They dont even care about games. They just want to spew hate. Thats an Xbot. At least to me.

All their retoric seems to be Sony lied about this, and Sony lied about that, but Sony keeps their word where it counts and thats in delivering great consoles and great games and thats all that matter in the end.

Meanwhile M$'s lies, shoddy hardware and abandonment of 20 million fans dont seem to bother them in the slightest bit as if those things were really trivial.

[shodown19]

Well to answer the question as well. I'm currently enjoying my XBox 360 more than my PS3 at the moment. Only because I've beaten Heavenly Sword and Resistance. I'm a Madden fan so I had to go where the better version was which was 360. Also I'm enjoying Halo 3 at the moment, but I still log several hours of Resistance in as well. Plus not to mention Warhawk and Tekken. When it comes to my multimedia needs, my 360 sees little to no attention. The PS3's upscaling of DVD format is truly impressive to me and I definately use it for that and watching .mp4 movies

Call me a Sony droid or an Xbot. I dont care. I'll be both if you want me to. Because I'm doing something that most fanboys can not cope the idea of, PLAYING GOOD GAMES WHEN I WANT, WHERE I WANT.

How do they say it around here? JUMP IN AND PLAY B3YOND!! See ya online

[DEADEND]

I couldn't agree with you anymore my friend. That's what wrong with people these days they can't understand that it is ok for someone to enjoy both systems, like there's a law that says we all have to take one side for a console and stick to it. Bubbles for you.

[poopface1]

lol calm down. I have an xbox and nothing got worse for me. dont confuse that with things got better for you. Resistance made me want a ps3 when it first came out and imm sure this wii do the same, but I could not play fps with that controler. yes, I used the same one on ps1 and 2. but this game is gona be cool.

[biggun2055]

u forgot most of ps3 game have yet to tap the ture power of the ps3 the future looks good well in 1080p it does

[HeartlesskizZ]

the game will sell alot if they DONT release it sametime or near KILLZONE =)

[TheHater]

it depend on how great Killzone 2 is. I mean the graphic is going to be there, but what about the gameplay, story and online for killzone. That is what will separate Resistance 2 and Killzone 2.

[Primetimebt]

I actually believe RFOM2 has more to gain than killzone2. Yeah Killzone 2 looks great but the first 1 sucked but Resistance Fall of Man is the number 1 selling PS3 game and 1 out 2.5 people buying a PS3 is getting resistance fall of man to go with it. RFOM made it's mark and Killzone is still trying to find it's identity

[clarkdef]

so if anyone is up for a fight just message.

[Sevir04]

if it was it certainly doesn't say so in sales. resistance and motorstorm sold the ps3 to 3.6 million as of right now resistance has sold about 4+ million to date. with motorstorm not far behind with about 2 million. the game is cretically aclaimed now. it launch and profromed the way it was sopposed to. after that the game spoke for itself and garnered the attention of all the people who played itand quickly became PS3's killer app. i remeber at lauch on this site alot of people said that R:FOM would be a downer and that it would never be a msystem seller. LOL!!! 10 months later it's sold 4 million. thats freakin awesome, and motorstorm is following the same suit.

[Charlie2688]

crap, I haven't even played the first one O.O and now the sequel is coming >.>

I need to catch up :P

edit: disagree? or maybe not? WTF?

[Sevir04]

and hatchet i agree with you resistance isn't underarted at all. i hope you completely read my post as i wasn't downplaying it. i for one love resistances. it was my first game that took me into Next gen ^^

[PimpHandHappy]

it was the first game that really stuck with me. I still turn it on every so often and its the only game i havent traded in. Warhawk will be the 2nd..

I loved the online play. The only games i didnt like was when they turn up the weapon damage and u die in like two three shots of the M16. Gayness

but its still the best FPS game i have really played. Beat it three times. Im hoping COD4 will be the next best FPS i play this year. I think it will

peace

[QuackPot]

COD4, BF:BC, Haze, UT3, Halo, KZ2 and Warhawk.

Fully useable vehicles(especially aircraft) & destructable environments are a must these days as well as the usual solid online MP.

Don't forget user-created content....map maker.

And the great news is:

RFOM was a releaas title - a rushed job. Along with their work on R&C the developers now have a lot of experience with the Ps3.

[FirstknighT]

Resistance and Killzone 2 look exactly the same. Same ole boring dark gray wartorn streets. How about a lil variety in your fps formula? huh?

Acording to the Sony's fanboys favorite site....Resistance has only sold 1.7 million worldwide. Where are you guys getting 4 million???

http://vgchartz.com/worldto...

If I remember correctly.....Gears of War came out around the same time Resistance came out. And Gears CRUSHED resistance.

[Baba1906]

u are a sad sad boy arent u. how in hell do u see killzone and resistance looking the same...... god u must be desperate to get some attention. but i guess u like war games looking like sommertime in a yellow submarine.

you are really boring.......

[SofaKingReetodded]

go play your underpowered breakbox.

[TheExecutive]

you sir are an idiot... you dont actually believe what you type do you? KZ and Resistance look the same? How about a little variety? you mean the same art direction the 360 uses? Make everything hyper-real and the textures look like everything was covered in slime? I personally dont have a problem with what i just wrote but dont be some hypocritical A$$hole that comes trolling on ps3 news and expect that your dumb A$$ doesnt get reemed for it. you sir are an idiot, lets hope you arent 32 like TheMart.

[poopface1]

yeah you are wrong resistance looks WAY cooler that killzone.

[Bubble Buddy]

Let's see gears put more than friggin 6 ppl on the screen and more colors, and bigger environments and we'll see who has the better graphics.

[fopums]

dont know what you said firstknight, but RFOM owns, 40 mp battles. when another console FPS can match that I'll care, becuase huxley isnt out yet.

side note, anybody play savage? YEEOWZA!

and I like the RFOM2 details, but please tell me insomniac is going to include the cloven!

[Devr]

Sounds great. Can't wait to see what it looks like :P

[TheExecutive]

well i dont know about super human abilities or the US gov't but i do know that fall of man was one of the best launch titles to EVER release. Hale was sent to America for testing when the virus slipped into the population... the entire story is based around Hale and the American gov't trying to find out what is so special about him. BTW fall of man MP is the best launching MP game in HISTORY. It rivals the best games out today. Insomniac rules and it should be no surprise that they are coming out with the next installment by 08 or early 09. I look forward to this next game to be a true FPS to move the genre along.

[The Wood]

some people should get laid. im not saying who though. too much spare time coupled with zero companionship = ignorant troll-like behavior but this condition can be treated with some vitamin S. free or not, get it.

im very interested in this game. apparently resistance was insomniacs first serious looking fps and for it to achieve what it did as well as it being a launch title cannot be overlooked. i will be interested in anything that they bring as long as they keep to these standards

[Skerj]

Hahaha thank you sir for speaking the truth, bubbles for you.

[UnblessedSoul]

Awesome all new vehicles Ill miss the british people but maybe they will still be there

[abowler]

hopefully they add grenade cooking

[AliC]

Great, can't wait R:FOM was a great game, it had its issues but it was still a solid enjoyable game.

Lets hope the sequel is even better.

[Wii60_FTW]

bad game

[Imalwaysright]

Wow next year Ps3 lineup will be so great that im already saving money for it.

[IRONMAN_357kickback]

another AAA title for ps3, i know so

[Keowrath]

Played through the campaign of the original in 2 player and loved every minute of it. Can't wait for the 2nd one if the first one is anything to go by.

Just finished playing the Ratchet and Clank demo. Although it's probably not gonna be a purchase for me it looks and plays amazing. There is so much going on on screen and the action didn't slow down for a second.

Insomniac seem to be an extremely cool company. The quality of their games are leaps and bounds ahead of some of the other develepors on the PS3. I can't wait to see what they bring to the table with RfoM2!

[RadientFlux]

Great news Resistance was a really excellent launch title. Right up there with the best launch titles ever (Halo, Kameo, Condemned) Can't wait to see how the sequel is shaping up.

[SimmoUK]

INSOMNIAC is an amazing studio, i'm glad there working on another resistance, they normally manage to get a game out a year....

Can you imagine what it's going to look like using there updated ratchet engine *faints*

[DEADEND]

If this is true then next year is truly the year that PS3 will lead, with all these great games coming out next year I really can see why SONY told everyone to have patients for next year. With games like FFXIII, MGS4, LBP, KILLZONE 2, and now RRFOM 2 2008 will be SONY's year for sure.

[skynidas]

yay resistance is one of the best games of the ps3 and im sure the sequel will be huge

[jay3]

Woah woah woah, ok, my buddy got this and i'd go round and play it. Have to say it was pretty fun, especially co-op, but it is DEFINETLY not one of the best FPS ever or whatever some fanboys here are calling it. It's like those fun horror movies, where you don't really expect anything special but a bit of fun. I do agree that the multiplayer was shat though.

[THE_JUDGE]

This is good news indeed. I love the first one and would gladly except another one in my PS3.

[scrillakiller]

i cant wait to be nathan hale again

[ForROME]

I still think HALO 1

Half Life 1

Are the best of All time atleast for me, I wont speak for anyone else.

RFOM was a great game and I was totally suprised about how much I liked it espcially when you get into the ship.

[Wii60_FTW]

LOL. u got a disagree for saying halo 1 and halflife 1 were better games. LMFAO. you gotta be some new kind of braindead fanboy to disagree with that.

[DeZimatoR]

But I'm taking this with a pinch of salt...I mena, its not typical of Insomniac to release so much info about their games before they release them, specially when its like 1 year off.

I mean, say that the game will be in the USA, but that the first and last level won't, and that there will be 3 airborne vehicles we will be able to use in MP...I donno, seems to far fetched. Specially saying where the last level of the game will be.

I reckon the game is coming in Fall 2008 though. Just to keep with Insomniac's recent pace of one AAA game per year ;)

Can't wait to own some Chimera with a tweaked Ratchet & Clank engine :D

[nobizlikesnowbiz]

Hopefully it's a lot better than the first. Seriously I don't know what some of you are smoking saying it's one of the best FPS's.

All I can say to that is wow...

[jorellpogi]

i just hope this article is proven correct in the near future.

[INehalemEXI]

I thought they said you wouldnt be nathan hale in the second 1.

[PS360PCROCKS]

I guess like you guys with Halo, I don't understand why anyone like RFOM at all...I wasn't impressed and I never really liked it. I tried to play it and play it and tried getting into it and just didn't like it.

[SuperSaiyan4]

I dont recall Resistance Fall of Church raking in $300 million in its first week, or having celebraties go to its launch at different parts of Europe, or have people waiting in queues outside the stores or even selling out in some stores in the USA.

Maybe it was all a dream?

[Pain]

that 2nd game ending will be "to be a Cliffhanger ending" unlike like some other game that ended
kinda lame........

edit: oh and imo RFOM is #1 in my books for best fps over others period. and iv been doing te fps since doom 1 so go play halo's kids.

[poopface1]

I started FPS with wofenstien and doom as well and I can say with out a doubt say this isnt the best FPS of all time or even close. And yes halo is great but forget halo what about Duke neukem, Dark forces 2, deus ex, half life, bioshock, golden eye, even FEAR(PC).... the list goes on and on

[SIX]

I hope this will be to the PS3 as Halo is for XBOX. And yeah, it is one of the best FPS's around. Insomniac took the best of all fps's at the time and made resistance. It doesn't do anything different, but it does it better than most out there. I still can't believe how this game can handle so much on screen with no framerate drops. People who criticize it are people who want the PS3 to fail. That's pretty mental if you ask me. Resistance 2 when it drops, will be a force to be reckoned with for sure.

[Relientk77]

yea! wooo! i love u INSOMNIAC GAMES... u make amazing games... Spyro 1-3, Ratchet n Clank 1-5 , and now Resistance 1-2 ... completely AWESOME!!! none of those games ^ are bad... they are all great fun games.... cant wait for this game

Insomniac Games = the best ...if not.. ONE OF THE BEST ... PERIOD

[DiLeCtioN]

OMG YES..sooo happy yeah baby. lol now i can focus on my 2.0 k/d properly nearly got it on original account. sooo many noobs to own at this game now wooooohooo, they should add 30 kill medal that will be soo challenging.

Oh also i am recruiing some new guys for our clan now(for resistance 1), so if you are interested please p.m me much appreciated.(no offence if you know you have a crap k/d dont bother)....must have at least i.e i have 30,000 +kills n 20,000 +deaths

http://resistance.ps3.conso... heres a link to the site we compete on cheers

[gEnKiE]

This is going to be a big game. Not Halo big, but its going to a great deal when it comes out.

[d3l33t]

breaking news: nasim news makes 1120 degrees

[superdude]

haha...hah...ha, that was funny

[zonetrooper5]

Resistance is probaly a very good game for the PS3, I would not say its the best FPS ever, Half Life, Far Cry, Bioshock, TF2, Halo etc are probaly all much better. Sorry Nasim but stop spamming both news articles and the N4G forums.

[DeckUKold]

resistance has the highest replay value trust me play that gat game almost as much as SSBM

OBAMA 4 08

[Primetimebt]

First before Resistance was released last november what was the best FPS on new gen? COD2? COD3? There was no good FPS and out of all the first person shooter that came out up until now I still believe RFOM tops them all. Halo is nice but it'short, and the graphics are even consider HD, it's more like ED.

[SIX]

I prefer Resistence.

[teto83]

PS3 owners rejoice!!!...and talking about a K.O. for next year.

[supnub5]

3 superb games in 3 years, now that's what i call professionalism, and the nov 2008 makes sense (of insomniac releasing the 1 game next year) and i bet they'll improve on what held them from 10 score from everybody and make really superb games.Lol i think rfom3 will be as big as halo 3.

[DeckUKold]

sorry i was of of n4g 4 a while metroid was a seriously solid game

Any gamer wants a change in 08 there's only one man BARACK OBAMA every one else is idiots and if u vote hillary that means no games in US

[DJ]

see the technical leaps that Insomniac has made to the Resistance series. Hopefully the animation, physics, and lighting are going to be incredible, since that really is the PS3's strength.

[SolidSnake93]

Resistance is a great game. Not necessarily the greatest fps (falling slightly behind Half Life, Unreal Tournament and Red faction) but, certainly an entertaining experience for both single and multiplayer.

[andron]

Pretty sure there is going to be a sequel, but when is the Big question.

Haze is out now, and Killzone2 early next year.

So we probably wont see a Resistance2 until late next year at the earliest.

[teto83]

Resistance : Fall of Xbox???LOL

[Solid_Skip]

JUST FINISHED RESISTANCE 2DAYS AGO AND IT WAS A GOOD GAME, IT GOT THAT SOUR HALO 3 TASTE OUT OF MY MOUTH, GOOD STORY AND CANT WAIT FOR RESISTANCE 2 TO COME OUT.

[DwightOwen]

Resistance 2 will feature rumble feedback so I'll know when I'm getting shot.

[Scions Wrath]

Can't wait! Can they better 40 player online play!?

[rootEXT]

Resistance 2?!!?!?!?!?!? Holy awesome game i just bought a ps3 yesterday and i bought this game now they are coming with a sequel???? I gotta finish this game fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
