Ominous Resistance 2 ARG site Project Abraham uncovered

by Alan Tsang { Jul 3rd 2008 at 11:00PM }

We are not sure how they did it, but some very clever posters over at NeoGAF has found us another ARG website for Resistance 2. The website features a woman standing over you at what appears to be a hospital, concerned for your well-being, before she is forcibly removed and the video ends with a long beep.

What does this all mean? Is that actress Katee Sackhoff of Battlestar Galatica fame standing over us in this video? What is Project Abraham? Is that logo on her shirt the same as the one of the US military from getawarjob.com? The Morse code at the end of the video apparently spells "blackout" and leads you to another part of the site, with a picture of seven guys that you can move around on a table.

Is Nathan Hale one of these guys? Is the darkness on the sides moving? We noticed pressing tab will frame a yellow rectangle around the picture. You can also drag the picture all the way off screen on the bottom and the right, but not the top and the left, And what is that in the window on the left? Take a look around and post your thoughts on this. *hums The X-files theme*

That's definitely Katee Sackhoff. This looks intriguing.

chelsea @ Jul 3rd 2008 11:13PM

yeah, that's definitely katee sackhoff ;)

Julian @ Jul 3rd 2008 11:25PM

anyone else think that when the camera turns orange it might be someone turning into chimera vision?

whistlepig @ Jul 3rd 2008 11:42PM

probably just a video of amy winehouses husband having another overdose .. anyway cant wait for the game !

troop23 @ Jul 3rd 2008 11:56PM

This is crazy. I was reading the forum and this is what the guys got:
-Nathan Hale is the second guy from the left.
-There is a chimera in the window.
-The third guy from the left has a weird arm.
-There are weird lights coming from the doorway.

The darkness is growing. I think they need to look more into the video.

The same people doing this are the ones that did Halo 2 and The Dark Knight.

ogvor @ Jul 4th 2008 12:06AM

The Chimera are Cylons!

bourne6 @ Jul 4th 2008 12:08AM

I think it's some kind of reinactment of what is to come. The chick could be that british narrator(Srry can't remember her name, it's been a while since i've played). And i did happen to see a picture on the wall, its the one of the presedent going "We want you..." or whatever. ANd i remember seeing that propaganda in resistance.

ANd the overall idea would be that Hale was captured by the Russians and then taken to be examined. Possible some sort of experiment to obtain his Mutated genetics!!!(Human/Chimera, for the ones who have never played the game). Hmmm looks like the intro to the new R2. :)

frankym @ Jul 4th 2008 12:15AM

Are these ARG sites created by Insomniac???????????

Shooter McGavin @ Jul 4th 2008 12:34AM

Dude!
why X-files?
Twilight Zone man
now thats some good mystery/horror

jitty @ Jul 4th 2008 12:58AM

On close inspection of the picture, if you look really closely at the right side of the the white square shape on the right side of the doorway, you can see maybe the face of some sort of monster. Even if you don't see it, notice how it's a bit more grainy/pixelated than the left side of the square. Maybe I'm just seeing things. It really helps to see it if you invert the colors and zoom in 2x :\

Also, what is that between the legs of the 3rd soldier from the right?

TB @ Jul 4th 2008 11:18AM

Probably his penis.

card19 @ Jul 4th 2008 10:42PM

last time i saw marketing like this was for NIN's Year Zero

scragham @ Jul 4th 2008 1:58AM

hmm. wonder what that image burned (or whatever) onto the top-right of the desk is, too.

scragham @ Jul 4th 2008 2:00AM

btw, turn on your desktop magnifier to see stuff better. the thing in the window definitely looks kind of chimera-y; the stuff between the legs of the third soldier to the right looks just like part of the building to me.

i thought hale was supposed to lead a squad of hybrids in R2? maybe this is the squad?

Steve @ Jul 4th 2008 2:06AM

The picture isnt the clue its what is behind the picture. Look behind the woodwork

scragham @ Jul 4th 2008 3:27AM

the image that looks burned into the wood? i can't figure out what it is. any ideas?

gundamfan @ Jul 4th 2008 4:14AM

Oh wow, I really hope they mo-cap her as a character in the game.

gundamfan @ Jul 4th 2008 4:51AM

Am I the only one here who thinks the alien in the window looks a lot like a Salarian from Mass Effect?

bmooregolfer72 @ Jul 4th 2008 10:13AM

does anyone know how to decode morse code? the last little bit is definitely a message i just can't figure it out

Yema @ Jul 4th 2008 10:21AM

I think people are looking way too much into the picture. There is no alien in the window to the left. All you really can see is through the window to the wall inside the house. I think this is just a normal picture for now..it may change its appearance as days go by though.

nick @ Jul 4th 2008 10:56AM

if you look at the little brown dots on the desk you will notice that they are symetrical (hope i spelt that right). in a face like shape. with what ever is burned onto the desk directly above it.

kiwidust @ Jul 4th 2008 11:13AM

I don't have much to add, but in the picture the yellow rectangle when you hit "tab" is a standard part of Flash (it's an accessibility feature). You can do the same on most Flash movies (interactive elements will be highlit in tab order).

Gotta meet your 508 Accessibility Requirements!

Steve @ Jul 4th 2008 11:38AM

Pop in your resistance game! Start a new game. Make sure you watch Nathan take his knife. He'll need it. Then www.projectabraham.com/blackout/ Anyone? Anyone?

bendomac @ Jul 4th 2008 11:45AM

Its a javascript file for the site lots of clues inside Whats UTM?

QuizyP(psn:QuizPyro) @ Jul 4th 2008 1:59PM

WOW...this is just makes me want it more with E3 coming up maybe insomniac will shed some light on this ohh I noticed that the poster in getawarjob.com the one with the arm was featured in gameinformer I also think thats the squad but since they only have I think its 48 hours to live their mutation started

Howard Wilkinson @ Jul 4th 2008 2:23PM

well i looked into the utm file and it said somat about urchin/urchin.com so i checked that out and its a site trafficing software by google. Looks like its gonna change the more people who go on it. Hits won't count its gotta be different people.

Thats what i think anyway

PS3 RULES!!

mixel @ Jul 4th 2008 4:21PM

This just looks to me like the plot for the (class based) multiplayer campaign.. Remember R2 is basically going to be two games with seperate but simultaneously occuring plotlines. :)

This is just showing the beginnings of a generic squad dude Ithink. On the sign up form you could choose some pretty crazy specialisations.. Psi-Ops? :D I'm guessing they're making them hybrids but that sounds like a dumb idea after the problems Nathan is having?

T1TN @ Jul 4th 2008 5:07PM

when the picture is moved to the top left it seems to high-light the guy furthest on the right, also his hand are in a strange position, well fingers anyway

arturo @ Jul 4th 2008 8:37PM

the morse code said blackout

r.crisp @ Jul 4th 2008 8:51PM

Me and my brother are wondering if the blackout page is a magic eye but since we've always sucked at Magic Eye we can't find out xD

Luke @ Jul 5th 2008 4:19AM

On the gt-tv thing about R2, just after it introduces Ted Price, it will show some video of the game, and Hale picks up a knife from a table. UNDERNEATH THAT KNIFE IS THE SAME PHOTO THAT YOU CAN MOVE ABOUT ON THAT WEBSITE!!!!

Adam @ Jul 5th 2008 3:24PM

wrong....its different...slightly, ive booted up the game and took a pic as you can see it actually quite different...

Michael McIntyre @ Jul 5th 2008 3:37PM

anyone else see a face in the wood when you move the picture completely of the page ?

Ned Fetterhoff @ Jul 6th 2008 12:12AM

I noticed the face in the wood also. I darkened the wood grain a bit to get better details and got this...

http://videogameplayerz.net/gallery2/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=1735&g2_serialNumber=1

It looked like a face, but blurred into three different ones. I did a radial blur to put it back into one and this is what I got...

Hope this helps.

iv noticed that over so often, with the both the sites open, my screen flashes to black for a split second and in the top right of the screen there is a white image. it takes a while for this to happen and its happened about 3 times to me but only when the pages are open. i think the white image might be a chimera attacking. i don't know. anyone else noticed anything like this?
