Resistance 2 is the sequel to PlayStation 3’s exclusive launch title Resistance: Fall of Man, released back in March 2007.
With an autumn date slated for this PS3 only title, gamers would see it hit retailers around the same time as Xbox360 exclusive Gears of War 2. Is this coincidence or a diabolical scheme of marketing by Sony to try and dent Microsoft’s own alien shooter?
Resistance 2 is set to be exclusively released on the PS3, this autumn.
Description:
Resistance 2 transports players across the Atlantic to a besieged 1950s America where it builds on Fall of Man’s legacy. There will be bigger battles, spectacular landscapes and an even more gripping narrative told from Hale’s perspective – alongside an unprecedented online eight-player co-operative mode in which players meet to tackle specially-designed campaigns together.
The Resistance story continues to unfurl with protagonist Sergeant Nathan Hale. Having destroyed the London command centre of the invading alien Chimera, Hale returns to the United States where he becomes part of a special programme known as the Sentinels – a secret weapon against the Chimera assault that the US government knows is imminent. When the Chimera launch a full-scale aerial assault on both coasts, Hale and the Sentinels find themselves in the forefront of the counter-attack.
