Do not resist the tease with Resistance 2 teaser trailer

Our thoughts on the teaser you ask? As far as looks go, it's quite evident that R2 is going to blow the first Resistance right out the water. 19 hours to live Mr. Hale? Interesting. But a June 13 gameplay premiere reveal? Perhaps not the best time, especially with such a huge game coming out the day before ... and the fact it's Friday the 13th!

Showing gameplay footage the day after MGS drops is not a big deal. People seem to forget it's NOT 100% of PS3 owners that are buying it. There are plenty of people who really don't care about MGS, and would much rather play a shooter, like me.

SG I respect your opinion of not wanting to play MGS but wow buddy your missing out!! Either way this looks awesome I can't wait!
SG @ Apr 12th 2008 12:17PM
I suppose I could have phrased it a bit better. I WILL play MGS. I'm just not going to buy it. I'll rent it (This IS the "ultimate rental" franchise" we're talking about....). I've purchased the previous entries in the series, but I guess I've grown out of the incredibly overlong cinematics and hilariously ridiculous characters (You're telling me the chick couldn't figure out she was wearing a metal-repelling suit all these years? Never mind the fact that lead bullets are practically magnetically inert....)
Don't get me wrong, they're fun games, I'm just tired of people treating them like they're art or something. If there was a movie made based on the characters in MGS, people would roll out of the theatres laughing.

LoL I think that's what makes the MGS games!! The game is very story driving and the characters are the way they are because they want you to remember them for how they acted!! Just look at Vamp how can you not remember his crazy ass lol eitherway i think 08 is going to be a great year
Byron517 @ Apr 12th 2008 12:46PM
You have to understand that's the style of the game for Metal Gears. They are very story driven and the characters are designed in such a way as to stand out and be memorable. Either way I'm really looking forward to this year because its going to be a great year for all gamers of all tastes!!

wonder why they are showing a trailer so early. they will still have about 5 months to work on it.
and why would it matter that MGS4 comes out the day b4? I don't get how that would matter. cant wait for both of these games.

the fighters look like cylon raiders!

I don't see the big deal in releasing the gameplay footage so close to MGS4. Its not like we're going to get to play it. Even though I have every intention of getting MGS4 on launch day I will still take a few minutes out of my day to watch whatever Insomniac gives us on the 13th.

Resistance 2 does look awesome and 100 times better than the first, this is another big game for the PS3 in 2008, but yeah cant understand why some people dont want MGS4, thats the biggest next gen game of all time time and its a HUGE game too apparently it'll take weeks, months or years to discover all the secrets in that game, and it also boasts a FPS mode, cant wait for june the 12th to come soon enough, an november for RESI 2 :-D

I need this. I want to say something profound, but all I can do is confess the need for it. Dirty tease, I'm intrigued now. As far as the gameplay footage after MGS4 release, I don't think it'll hurt anything. Its just a trailer. If you don't catch it the day of, it'll be all over the internet when you do decide to tune in. Think of it this way, when you're enjoying MGS4, you'll be able to carry over the excitement into R2. It'll firmly plant '08 as Sony's year in your mind (if it hasn't already).

VERY good point.
jack_ss @ Apr 12th 2008 12:41PM
I sent this in! :D
Anyway, before anyone says "PFFFT Its CGI". STOP!
The teaser is done with the in-game engine, so the graphics will look very similar to this.

finally nathen hales has a voice!
dosnt matter that its being released near mgs4 it only a trailer, but i will still try to pull myself away from Mgs4 to watch it.

"19 hours to live Mr. Hale? Interesting. But a June 13 gameplay premiere reveal? Perhaps not the best time, especially with such a huge game coming out the day before ... and the fact it's Friday the 13th!" Read that on a Saturday morning, Mr. Athab, and try to figure out what the heck you're saying. It's too compressed. I know you're making references to some stuff but did you write this at midnight on Friday? The first part was nice, but then it just got totally diffuse.
Rooslin @ Apr 12th 2008 1:56PM
i think he ment june 13th will be friday the 13th not today
but ya i cant wait sonys gonna dominate this year my xbox will get little love and my wii will well it died a long time ago >.>
mathab @ Apr 12th 2008 2:07PM
Yep, was referring to June 13 being Friday the 13th.
And to the others about MGS4: I was just thinking there would be tons of PS3 gamers playing MGS4 non-stop that they wouldn't have time to play interwebs and check things out. But, yeah, other than that, it's gonna rock -- I just hope the majority of the gaming populace will get to see it, is all I intended.
John @ Apr 12th 2008 2:12PM
I cannot play this video. The first time, Firefox locked up. This time, it just says, "Read www.gametrailers.com" and does nothing. Are that many people watching this? Holy cow, I can't wait.
rob @ Apr 12th 2008 3:31PM
am i the only person who thinks this looks better than halo 3, but won't be appreciated as much?
The Sound @ Apr 12th 2008 4:07PM
Anything is better than Halo 3.
Halo 3 was a hype machine, nothing more.
EvilWalksWithMe @ Apr 13th 2008 3:18AM
Personally, I thought that teaser was a little dull and bland. Didn't really grab my attention or make me think 'WOW!'. Then again, I didn't think much of the first one... so maybe I wasn't willing to think 'Wow!' ... hmmm, who knows. :P
Watcher @ Apr 12th 2008 11:02PM
This game will be awesome, can't wait...
ash @ Apr 13th 2008 2:52PM
now i love resistance, it one of the best shooter games on the ps3 followed by ut3(mods are awsome), but i dont see why people have not copyied the forge mode, to be honest i thought that most games on the ps3 are halo killers but once they say forge mode that when i think, that the only thing that stoping 360 owers will like a ps3 game, but then again if ps3 does get halo people will say it rubbish, same with Gears 3 if it come to ps3 360 owner will say it rubbish because it on the ps3
zorockz @ Apr 13th 2008 7:48PM
well I guess the trailer at least tells us that there is a possible 19 hours of gameplay, and for an fps thats not too shabby, but then again I'm just speculating....
