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.
The game’s multiplayer modes are also set to make a huge
impact in
the gaming world. Co-operative play, where players team up to tackle a
campaign, can often feel constrained in levels designed for single
players. Not so with Resistance 2, where squads can undertake a fully
independent online campaign built specifically for co-operative play –
a feature that demonstrates developer Insomniac Games’ commitment to
online gaming.
The large scale battles are combined with levels that are
designed
to be slightly different each time you play. Up to eight players can
join forces to face the Chimera together while choosing from three
distinct class types. Players can also look forward to vast 60-person
online battles in which players join squads with distinct battlefield
objectives and fight it out on PLAYSTATION Network, the home of
multiplayer online play. The combination of squad objectives and large
player-count will give Resistance 2 the perfect blend of epic
battlefield chaos and intimate close-quarters combat.
