Insomniac's Ted Price live interview on Wednesday!

By Tom Bramwell Published 2 June, 2008

Wants to talk to YOU about Resistance 2.

Having achieved the frankly bewildering by delivering Resistance: Fall of Man and Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction in 2006 and 2007 respectively, Insomniac Games is back to try and boss Christmas 2008 as well with Resistance 2 - so naturally we thought you'd like to talk to them about it.

Fortunately, none other than Ted Price, CEO and President of Insomniac, was available to take part in the next of our LiveText interviews. You will be able to interview him live on this website from 5pm UK time on Wednesday (6pm in Central Europe).

"At Insomniac, we're big fans of our fans," said Price, when we asked him to give us a cheesy quote for you to snack on. "So getting a chance to talk to Resistance players and answer whatever I can about Resistance 2 is something I'm really looking forward to." He probably won't mind if you ask about Ratchet, too. If you don't, we will.

In LiveText interviews, you ask the questions. You submit them to us, and we submit as many as we can to the interviewee. The answers then appear on the site as we get them back, and you don't even have to refresh the page.

And if you're wondering what to ask about, why not start by checking out the Resistance 2 teaser trailer and screenshots, which should give you a few hints as to what Nathan Hale is getting up to follow the open-ended conclusion to Fall of Man.

Of course, the game will also include a co-operative campaign that runs parallel to the main story, and online competitive multiplayer with support for up to 60 players. At PlayStation Day last month, Price said that Resistance 2 would be equally focused on "community, campaign, co-op and competitive".

Join us on Wednesday and you can probe him about all that yourselves.

    Wonder how much he'll actually divulge new info or if he'll be following the usual "don't say anything relevant, just repeat everything already said" train of thought.

    I really would like to know alot about this game and how it's gonna end up. The first Resistance was a very good game for a release title and with their experience with the PS3 the sequal has potential to be one of the best games this year.

    Ted's the man!

  • ps3owner #3 4 years ago

    10/10 surely :)

  • TRUTH #4 4 years ago

    The 1st resistance was a poor mans fps. Boring average at best!

  • JYM60 #5 4 years ago

    Fuck off.

    Looking forward to this. The first one was a top game, hopefully some good questions will be answered.

    "Fuck off.

    I can't comment on the multiplayer as I have not played it. But the singleplayer experience was average at best. Granted if you've never owned other platforms besides Sony ones you might have good reason to think it was great but compared to FPSs on other platforms it was relatively poor.

    Doesn't mean the second game can't be a big improvement though.

  • RandomTerrain #7 4 years ago

    The multi-player was pretty impressive, hence why they are concentrating on that for the sequel.

  • Widge #8 4 years ago

    The single player ... well, think back to 'classic' FPS openings, Goldeneye's Dam, the dash through the big ship on Halo, the desperate weaponless flee from the Combine in HalfLife 2. Great stonker openings. No such thing in RFOM. Dire opening levels, you could just omit York completely. Got better, and bloody hard around the Manchester level.

    The multiplayer, imo, wasn't as good or as fun as Warhawk. Plus loads of the single player weapons were just not suited to the multiplayer game. That will be the key, sort the weapons out, make the gameplay more considered, then probably top stuff. The engine it was running on was pretty solid.

  • Mashum #9 4 years ago

    I though that (like the Halo series) RFOM really showed it's true colours when played through again on a harder difficulty setting, encouraging a more methodical approach.

    As I remember I didn't think too much of it on my first play through on the default difficulty.

    As for "Granted if you've never owned other platforms besides Sony ones you might have good reason to think it was great but compared to FPSs on other platforms it was relatively poor." I just don't agree as an FPS fan of old and someone with all the consoles and a gaming PC.

    Still it's all down to preference I suppose.

  • Les #11 4 years ago

    Really liked game 1. Not a single dropped frame in the entire campaign was really impressive. Art direction was good as well. Not as good as Killzone but definitely better than the competition at the time and much that has arrived since. Level design was a bit mixed. Definitely not HL2.

    Haven't tried multiplayer yet as I'm not a big fan of playing against anonymous idiots (and reading through threads here doesn't really build up confidence in the maturity of the average net-user). Warhawk is more than enough for me.

  • DrDamn #13 4 years ago

    I'm just coming back to Resistance after never completing it the first time round. Initial few level on normal it really doesn't even come to boring average standard, Manchester and beyond is actually really rather good. Very playable, solid frame rate and good mix of action in the level design. It doesn't really do anything that new aside from a nice interesting collection of weapons. Just Bracknell and London to go and I'll be re-trying the game on the harder difficulty levels.

  • Krelle #14 4 years ago

    While "TRUTH" is just a troll, I have to agree Resistance was rather dull, but had its bright parts aswell. 7/10 - as good as NG2.
    Better than Viking. Worse than MGS4. All you need to know.


  • Arwin #15 4 years ago

    Somehow the first Resistance was perfect for me. It's the only FPS game that I've actually played the single player game stright to the finish line, so the balance was excellent for me. I also liked the physics a rather lot and the weapons were a lot of fun too. I can't wait to see what they can do for the sequel, as the first game didn't even have streaming textures yet.

  • Les #16 4 years ago

    "im not a massive fps fan to be honest"

    Same with me, hadn't played an FPS for years until I picked up Killzone last year. After that, I wanted some more. I liked Killzone's play style better than that of Resistance (a bit too arcady) but Resistance was the first game in a very long time that I completed without touching another game in-between.

  • lambtron #17 4 years ago

    "I also liked the physics a rather lot"

    Umm, what physics? Resistance is probably one of the most static FPSs of recent years.

  • septimus #19 4 years ago

    Are they helping develop Bioshock for PS3?

    I suspect Resistance 2 will be an 8/10 kinda game, I trust what they are doing.

  • dsmx #20 4 years ago

    Bad choice picking 5pm on a wednesday most people will be watching the latest zero punctuation review at that time.

  • Wouwie #21 4 years ago

    I can't be online then. Somebody should definately ask if the rumours about a Ratchet and Clank PSN game are true though.
