Insomniac Union are lucky enough to be going to the Eurogamer Expo which takes place over the 28-29th of October. We'll get the chance to play on Resistance 2 while we're there, so we'll be sure to report back.
This event is also open to the public, so if you're near the London area, make sure you check it out.
Despite the fact that Resistance 2 isn't out for another month in North America, the Trophy list for the game has already been unveiled on the internet thanks to PS3Trophies.co.uk.
There will be 40 trophies in all, with 26 being Bronze, 9 Silver, 4 Gold and 1 Platinum. They will be spread across the Single Player, Co-Op and Multiplayer aspects of the game, so if you want all 40 Trophies, you'll need to be well versed in all gameplay modes.
GameTrailers TV had a world exclusive trailer for Resistance 2 which is entitled "Time-Bomb" and features a short clip of Nathan Hale getting some lip from what is presumed to be a fellow Sentinel.
New news has been announced which relates to the Resistance 2 single player campaign. In Resistance: Fall of Man, the Single Player campaign could be played both one player, and co-operatively with a friend locally with a split-screen. This has been scrapped for Resistance 2, due to the inclusion of a separate co-operative campaign.
So, if you want to play through Resistance 2's single player campaign with a buddy... Tough luck! Just play the co-op campaign with eight buddies online instead and be happy with that.
Want some Resistance 2 screen shots en mass? Yes? Well, 1UP has posted just what you're looking for. We'll get the new screen shots on our server soon, but until then, check out these amazingly looking screens at the link below!
I haven't had a chance myself to ogle these new videos myself yet, but in the rush I'm in, here's simply where you can find the new Resistance 2 gameplay videos as presented by GameVideos.com. They're a mixture of both single player and co-operative play, but they could contain spoilers from the game. So if you wish to remain completely in the dark, it's probably best if you watch them sparingly:
Just recently GamePro got their hands on a near final build of Resistance 2. In their article about the hands-on preview the one thing in particular they thought saw the biggest improvement since they last had their paws on Resistance 2, it's graphics.
Via GamePro:
"Now with two games of experience under its belt, Insomniac is pushing Resistance 2--a third-generation PS3 title--to new graphical heights. And it's looking incredibly sharp. When I saw the game earlier in the year for GamePro's August cover story, the concepts and execution were both there, but graphically, Resistance 2 was running with old character models and moderate detail. But last week's showing of a near-final version of the game proved that a few months of development time is a wonderful thing. To put it plainly, Resistance 2 is looking hot."
Two new Resistance 2 videos from IGN, first one being a video interview with Ted Price and a few other Insomniac guys, and the second being a short gameplay video. Enjoy!
A relatively short Podcast this time, as the majority of the time is spent with special guest Haden Blackman. He came in to talk about his new game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and spends quite a lot of time discussing it with the Insomniac guys. In terms of Resistance 2 news, the section is mainly focussed on discussing feedback they have received from the recent private beta they ahd.

GameXtract have reported that Beta Codes for the Resistance 2 Beta which starts shortly are being sold at GameStop stores in the United States. If you weren't lucky enough to be invited to take part by Sony upon applying and you chose not to gain access through purchasing at Qore, this could be the best way to get an advanced preview of Resistance 2's multiplayer mayhem.
If you have already got the game on pre-order then you should receive your beta code by e-mail or phone, but if not it can't hurt to give them a little nudge by going to the store.
