Most of us here at PS3 Fanboy are quite excited about Resistance 2; however, perhaps we're not as big Insomniacs as all you readers who stayed up watching the special midnight reveal of this teaser trailer. You see what this blogger just did there? While we relished much-needed sleep, many of you have already seen it. But, for all who missed it and are waking up to a beautiful Saturday morn at nearly noon, now's your chance to check it out -- with crusty eyes and all.
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.
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
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!!
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).

"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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
