As is the case with most batches of platform-launch games, critics weren't especially kind to the titles that debuted alongside the PlayStation 3. According to Metacritic (http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps3/resistancefallofman), the most consistently well-reviewed (http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/action/insomniacshooter/review.html) launch title for the platform was Resistance: Fall of Man. Developed by Ratchet & Clank creators Insomniac Games, the title blended science fiction and Harry Turtledove (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Turtledove)-esque alternate history, portraying an alien invasion of England in the 1950s--after World War II didn't happen.
According to industry-research group NPD Funworld, Resistance was a solid seller, moving nearly 791,000 copies domestically as of November 2007. Little wonder, then, that as rumored (http://www.gamespot.com/news/6181064.html), the acclaimed game is getting sequel treatment. The February edition of Game Informer (http://www.gameinformer.com/News/Story/200801/N08.0111.1332.50232.htm) reveals that yes, Insomniac is hard at work on a sequel, tentatively titled Resistance 2.
According to the magazine, Resistance 2 will support two campaigns, multiplayer battles of up to 60 people, and eight-person online co-op play. Unconfirmed reports say the game will support three character classes--including a heavy weapons, special operations, and the all-important medic. It will also incorporate vehicles, including the alien-built Stalker, which will have cloaking abilities.

This is something that I would have expected Sony to reveal either at GDC or at E3 this year. But nonetheless, here it is. And I know I'm not alone in being stoked. I can't wait for more info to trickle out on Resistance 2. Fall can't come soon enough!!
