Resistance 2 trademark discovered (no one is surprised)

by Andrew Yoon { Dec 24th 2007 at 10:30AM }

We all knew it was coming. Resistance 2, sequel to Insomniac's PS3 launch FPS, has been appearing in the rumor mill for quite some time now. Well, it looks like the game is getting closer to being officially announced. A new trademark for Resistance 2 was filed by SCEA, suggesting the game is being prepped for a release later in 2008. We're not surprised, really. We just like to think of this trademark filing as a little pre-Christmas gift that SCEA Claus decided to leave in our stocking.

[Thanks, Mork!]

Hooray for RFOM2.

I wasn't a big fan of the online component, but the campaign was fun, took a decent amount of time and didn't stick you in hallways for all of it.

Can't wait to see what they come up with for guns.

Unless this game is realeased in a realy dead time, i just cant see me getting it. Dont get my wrong resistence was good, but the only reason i bought it was becasuse it was the only good launch game. Now with Cod4, Mgs, Killzone2 comming out, i realy dont see this game ranking agaisnt them.

Well looking at what they did with a luanch title...I will be having high hopes for RFoM2, now that they have had time to sink their teeth in to the system.

After seeing what they did with their in-house engine between RFOM and Ratchet there's no way I cannot buy this game. Should be even better than the first, especially with their feedback and what not they've gotten from RFOM.

Also, it's most likely NOT going to be Resistance: Fall of Man 2.

I remember them saying one time that Resistance is the series, and the subtitle is what defines the particular game in the series. Rise of Man? Only thing we can really think of at the moment eh?

well that is what they do with the Ratchet and Clank series as well. Going Commando, Up Your Arsenal, Size Matters, Deadlocked, Tools of Destruction. All keep the Ratchet & Clank title but include those subtitles.

Resistance was the first FPS from Insomniac and it was a pretty solid title. i can only assume they would build on the good stuff and make another respectable game. and with the power of the Ratchet & Clank engine and Naughty Dog's Uncharted engine, i can confidently assume it would be a great visual experience. the co-op was my favorite part of the game by far, lets hope they continue with it.

Well this is great news. If the rumors hold true there will be a lot of great stuff in the new game. So I can't wait to see all that will be added in the game.

Robobagins @ Dec 24th 2007 12:29PM

Oh yes. Can't wait for this. Need moar!

i seem kinda iffy about this game, i only played the demo for the first one and i didnt like it so much. just didnt see the wow factor about the game. nothing caught my attention as i would hoped it would.

Im pretty excited about this, it was bound to happen though the end of RFOM basically said that there would be a sequel.

when i typed www.resistance2.com it took me to www.us.playstation.com

Tony @ Dec 24th 2007 2:57PM

I expect nothing less tha a total technical tour de force from Insomniac. I also don't doubt that the game will be a lot of fun too.

I can't wait! :)

Am I the only one that thinks that Resistance was very, very basic? Come on, it got like 3 different types of enemy and you were just going on and on and on and on by foot through streets, fields, streets, fields, streets and ... oh, tunnels! It just wasn't fun and didn't do ANYTHING new or interesting.
