Resistance 2

[Arwin]

James stevenson has confrimed the 12 new chimera and 0708. But not what 0708 stands for. And there are still more hints in that video. I don't think its the release data. Insomniac always release their games at the end of the year.

But they may not this time, because of Killzone 2?

 

[Cornsnake]

Maybe. But Insomniac is still independent so they can probably release when ever they want. They were always happy to release Ratchet & Clank next to Jak. Who wants to release during the summer anyway.

 

[inefficient]

It must be July 2008. Not July 8th.

 

[Shifty Geezer]

When there's nothing else out, you'll have the market to yourself, and RFoM2 will have legs and keep selling past its launch. A Summer launch would be unconventional but it might not be a bad thing in the long run, and would start generating income a few months earlier.

 

[AlNom]

Isn't E3 in July?

 

[desmond]

I assumed that they would demo it at E3 and release it after labor day. If they are releasing in July, PSN demo will be available in May.

 

[Cornsnake]

The dutch OPM has a preview of Resistance 2 and it says its going to be released at the end of the year. Although I would not mind getting it sooner. This is still my most anticipated game.

Some of these games you are seeing, like a Metal Gear Solid 4 which is a summertime exclusive, plus Resistance 2 – they're tipping the scales at 30, 40, 50GB.

This might be of some interest. I don't know.

And I think one of the biggest games for us will be Resistance 2. We expect that, in November

 

[JPT]

Yeah forgot about that one... ohh well

I'll get my vindication yet.

In the meantime though, this was quite an agressive interview. I didn't quite like it 100% (PR speak is tiring), but overall, yes, things are looking good for Sony. But that's not news. Hopefully though they will get that open beta for Home out before or during E3.

In the meantime though, this was quite an agressive interview.

It was all airy-fairy business speak, extolling how wonderful their company was and skirting round the questions. How nice it is to feel as a Sony consumer that you've been 'leveraged' into buying their products

It sounded like a 2-year-old interview though. Scott must have missed all that fun.

Someday, these SCEA, SCEE and SCEJ executives need to sing to the same tune. Someday before I die. It's gotta happen. ... I think.

My thoughts exactly. And looking at the quotes from the forthcoming interview on NextGen, that one's going to get good too...

Those interviewers should grow themselves some ***** by the way.

It takes long time to download. Its only 55Mb and 40 minutes later i'm at 90 %. Usually it well worth the long wait, they make excellent podcasts.

Hmmm, I guess the native resolution hasn't been nailed down yet:

I’ve got 2 questions for you.
1) As much as I like a multiplayer game, but will there stil be a great singelplayer game?
2) What is the resolution of the game (1080P???)

James Stevenson replied on March 20, 2008 at 2:44 pm
1. Definitely, single-player is still a major focus for us!
2. Too early to comment on that!

I thought maybe he was refering to whether or not they'll support 1080i for laggards, but he seems to differietiate between the native resolution and scaled resolution, as further in the comments:

rockmanjoey | March 20th, 2008 at 4:52 pm
Just need to know if this game will support 1080i like Ratchet and Clank did? My friend has the early HDTVs which don’t do 720p and would like to know if it will support the resolution? Many Thanks

We updated our engine to support scaling in RCF, so no worries there!

I see that teaser trailer is coming up on GTTV this Friday.
Hope they show some realtime stuff (not necessarily gameplay).
