Resistance 2 Beta Details

29
A few weeks ago, Ign covered the announcement of a Resistance 2 Beta in September that would be coming to the Qore digital magazine.
Today on the PlayStation.Blog, Grace Chen, the Senior Manager of the PlayStation Store, provided additional details for Qore purchasers interested in checking out the anticipated title and its beta.
Annual subscribers to the magazine will definitely be included in the beta under "Premiere" status and will receive early access when the beta becomes available.

Those users who purchase Episode 3 will receive access to the beta as well, but at a later, unspecified date.
Chen also mentioned the contact method, stating that, "All invitations will be made via email/voucher – the beta WILL NOT be accessed through the Qore download center."
Finally, she reassured members within her Store Update story, stating that there will be additional ways to participate in the beta, and that those details would be coming at some point.

Qore Episode 3 is currently available now on the PlayStation Store.

Thanks IGN

1 - 30 vs 30 + 8 player co-op + 2 full campaigns + epic boss fights + tons of new Chimera types + dedicated servers...
I will surely enjoy the superior multiplayer experience that only Resistance 2: United We Fall can offer this holiday season.

So I'm guessing you guys got Qore for the beta? Add me, I can't wait to try this one. I also can't wait for Gears 2 online, I love Gears Online. Gears 2 and Resistance seem to be very different also. What an amazing few months we have ahead of ourselves no?

btw, has Killzone 2 co-op been confirmed yet?

thank you Gorilla, thank you Insomniac (easily the best sony second party dev) and thank you Epic! :D

Looks like KZ2 will not have co-op on day one, but they said they really would like to do it, even if it has to come on a patch or add-on.

I have to agree about Killzone 2...the multiplayer announcements at E3 really pushed that to the very top of my list...

I liked Resistance 1 a lot at the time...and it was very good for a launch title (even graphically compared to other titles on the PS3 at the time)...but I have to admit it is almost hard to go back and play now...it feels a lot older than 1.6 years or so...

weapon wise it is still fantastic...but I have to admit I pretty much stopped when the updates changed how certain parts of the multiplayer worked...I never understood why so many complained about the bullseye, and its tagging...the time required to fire a tag more than balanced the fact that most of the time you were getting slaughtered before it connected...but the forums over there were on fire about it, and they eventually made it nearly worthless to even bother...

in either case though...Resistance 2 looks great...and looks to make improvements on the first game in all the right places...however, Killzone 2 looks like the type of shooter to just come in and wipe all competition out entirely...I much prefer the more realistic enemies...the ridiculous visuals...and more dynamic gameplay (being that it has a cover system that gives different options for different situations)...obviously none of us have played either yet...but after the multiplayer was announced for Killzone 2, it looks to have everything it needs and then some to be one of the best games of this generation...

both are must buys for me...but if I could only have one based on not playing either so far...it would be killzone 2 currently...maybe this beta will change my mind though...but so far Res 2 doesn't look to deal out anything I don't already expect...

i haven't been this hyped for an FPS since Halo 2.
hope this doesn't turn me off the franchise like H2 did.

still have to buy the annual Qore. maybe later today.

just curious...but what did Halo 2 do that 'turned you off' of shooters?...

XBL going live around then I thought more than made up for the crap single player of Halo 2...and I don't understand what everyone hated about Halo 2's single player anyway, becuase Halo 1's sucked too...giggling idiot aliens speaking English and purple...everywhere...was never something that overly impressed me with any of the halo games...

but they did shine at multiplayer...as long as you weren't into realistic shooters...

10 - GTA IV sucked
I hated it after all the hype.

I payed like 50 pounds to get it on the forst day what a waste.

Europeans always get left out, they should bring Qore to the European store.

I think the only reason GTA 4 sucked for you was because you got Hyped...

Lesson of the day? Don;t get carried away in the Hype, of any game, you will always be disappointing. ;D

Part of the problem a lot of people had with GTAIv was that in a lot of ways it was a step back for the series as a whole.

No car or character customization like in SA, much smaller game world compared to SA, kinda lame ass soundtrack compared to the VC and SA ones, and with the exception of the bank heist most of the missions were done in some form in the previous games.

Really, the only thing that improved was the graphics.

GTA IV just wasn't very good imo. The story and characters were no where near as good / cool as VC and SA. 4 is also the most boring GTA I've ever played. I don't even know how that's possible. To each his own though.

Also, I can't wait to get into the beta. I'm preordering it so I can get in the earliest, and it's free that way too :P

11 - I'll definitely try the MP
But i am more interested in the SP campaign (and coop). I LOVED the 1st one.

MP wise I don't think anything can pull me away from Warhawk.
