After playing games like Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4, the next game in their class has to equal them and be much more. On the upcoming games, we want features that are both different and unique, the good news is 2008 may be bringing just that. Last year it was COD4 vs Halo 3, but in 2008 we will see the Sony PS3’s Resistance 2 up against Gears of War 2 on the Xbox 360.
You can see a new video below explaining the features in Resistance 2 and some gameplay, this game will not only feature 60 players on one map, but it will also have battles within battles. They are taking the gameplay we love so much and adding some unique features, and that’s just why this game has not been released yet. Insomniac will make sure everything is right before they release Resistance 2 and looking at the video below, you can see it looking good.
While Gears of War 2 will look stunning, it does not seem to have added much from the last version, well not compared to Resistance 2 anyway and if these two are the big games of 2008, you need to give a lot more. The first Resistance game was not good enough in my opinion, I played it for a few hours but found it lacked what other games had. This sequel makes up for that in many ways and it looks like a lot more has gone into it. Gears of War 2 will have the better graphics by a long way, but if your talking gameplay, my money is on Resistance 2, but that’s if they can pull it off with the 60 player online play.
The biggest problem with some of the PSN games currently is hosting a game, on Call of Duty 4 you get many games starting and then saying “Host Ended Game”. This is very annoying and what should have happened, is the host role should have been passed to another player. If that situation happens again with Resistance 2 and 60 player online gaming, it will be a big fault.
Two other big upcoming games include killzone 2 and mgs4, but these are Playstation 3 exclusives. Watch the video below and let us know what you think of Resistance 2.

No way, the trend continues to this day. When I can run GTA IV at a full 720p and ~5 fps faster I’ll take that over any port any day of the week. I love Uncharted and it is a masterpiece, and cannot wait for Uncharted 2, but Gears 2 is most certainly going to set the bar again like 1 just like the GI guys have stated.
if R-2 has vehicles than it will beat GOW2.
gow2 has 16 playes ha ha ha ha haaa
actually lee, take a look at ut3 for the ps3, if your talking about currently, the ps3 is at the top with ut3,cod4,uncharted and soon to be haze.
Then it will seesaw back and forth between the 2 consoles, a better question(loaded i know) which console has the better looking first party games.
Reason why CoD4 had “Host has ended game” was because it had no dedicated server. It wasn’t just for the PS3, but also or the Xbox 360. Resistanc 2 will have a dedicated server, and it will have very smooth online play, and much better than GoW2 IMO.
The problem with COD4 it used P2P servers so it all depended on host’s connections. if RFOM2 is like RFOM it will use Dedicated so if one person lags all the rest shouldnt seeming the factor of only your connection matters
man you all suck Viva Piniata 3 man thats the way to go!
…ok seriously though Resistance was ight but I like Xbox live more…GOW I dont like that much maybe they will fix it this time around…
well hate to be last on this but hands down gow2 will pown r2 in graphics and of course multiplayer. You guys argue cuz r2 has 20+ people online, and gears has 8, but if u play gears thats is not a problem at all at least u can talk to your team while 20+ people it will be hard to hear wth people are saying, plus the graphics suck lol sorry thats just the truth, but does have a better story, but hey who the hell cares which have the best story mode thats sure as hell ain’t the reason i bought the game. I only buy games for the multiplayer and im sure thats y u guys buy them………gow2 vs r2=gow2
