So, this is the first official site update since the site launched a month ago (in a few days time). It has been quite a hectic month, with lots of exciting news being published for Resistance 2, and we can look forward to more of the same throughout the month of June, with the first official gameplay footage being shown on the 13th of June 2008.
As well as all the news updates though, there has been plenty of content added to the site.
Some new Resistance 2 concept art has surfaced on the internet courtesy of Playstation Universe, one of which contains a scene from the teaser trailer that was released last month.
The other showcases an epic struggle against a Goliath, which now appears to be much larger than the versions seen in Resistance Fall of Man.
1UP.com editor Garnett Lee interviews James Stevenson about Resistance 2 multiplayer. New guns, the Marksman (a mid-range semi-automatic sniper rifle) and the Minigun (a chaingun with a tripod and a shield as the secondary fire) are mentioned.
GameTrailers.com have released an interview they held with Ted Price at the Sony Playstation Day, which outlines in detail exactly what was disclosed with regards to the online multiplayer component of the game.
Don't ask why they conducted the interview on a roof though.
Well, they were promised on the Full Moon Show, which was released earlier and they have already been delivered. Three new screenshots have been released, and they look great (your effort was worth it Brian!).
The screenshots appear to be from the Single Player campaign, as opposed to the screenshots that GamePro posted last week.
Insomniac have released the 26th episode of their podcast, called "Full Moon Show". The guys discuss the deadline for the GamePro magazine cover story, Bryan Intihar's first experience with the joy that is screenshots and give you an update about how SCEE Gamers Day went. On top of that, they can finally talk all about the game's competitive multiplayer.

GamePro compiled a very informative preview of Resistance 2 yesterday, but while most of the information was already known, the most interesting tidbits were the new screenshots that have been published.
The screenshots are from the woodland level that was featured in the demo which the media were able to see and play at the Sony Playstation Day.
Yesterday's PlayStation Day gaming event featured a Resistance 2 multi-player demo. The press got to play and try it out for the first time, and good impressions aren't late to come. GameSpot's article is very detailed, and is recommended to read.
During the recent Press Conference, Ted Price mentioned that Resistance 2 is potentially only six months away, which confirms the October/early November release date for the highly anticipated title; a date they stated in the past.
A Resistance 2 gameplay video from Sony PlayStation Day had also surfaced online over at GameVideos, after it was recorded using a cellphone, but it has since been removed.
The footage showed the new woodland level as described in the Sony Playstation Day Recap, but it has since been removed by GameVideos.
The Sony Playstation Day is currently taking place in England and the Press Conference has of course talked about Sony in general. However, we're only interested in talk about one game Resistance 2.
A fair amount of information was divulged about the game, including the announcement that MyResistance.net will be completely revamped to cater for Resistance 2's new functionality.
The Sony PlayStation Day has started right now, and Insomniac Games has shown the reporters new Resistance 2 footage. The opening video reel was closed with the clip of Nathan Hale seeing the Bay Bridge and Chimeran Invasion fleet.
To see information from the presentation as it happened, please read the following post inside.
An Insomniac Games employee has written in the NeoGAF boards and confirmed that a Resistance 2 demo will be present during the Sony PlayStation day on May 6, two days from now. It is likely that impressions will leak out of the press-only event, and we'll make sure to post them when they appear.
Insomniac Union has finally opened its doors officially to the world today. The site has been in production for a fair while now, but it's finally got to the stage where it's ready enough for the general public to have a look around.
So far the content is a bit light on quantity, but the content that is available is extremely detailed. So, be sure to check out the Resistance Weapons section.
