"More churches" in Resistance 2! News

PlayStation 3 News by Tom Bramwell

12 February, 2008

Having upset the Church of England with its depiction of Manchester Cathedral in Resistance: Fall of Man, Insomniac Games has said that Resistance 2 will see it getting right back on the cross [surely "horse" - Ed].

"We've actually made it a big focus to include more churches and now synagogues and mosques in Resistance 2," Price told our sister site GamesIndustry.biz in an interview.

We suspect he may have been joking. According to gi.biz, "Price later remarked that he is an Episcopalian and considers the Church of England the 'mother ship'." Just don't say anything about Sharia Law, Ted. It will end in tears.

Resistance: Fall of Man was a PS3 first-person shooter about fighting monsters in places like London and Manchester. The sequel follows on from the first game [let's have more of this kind of piercing insight - Ed], and also aims to build on its solid 40-player online modes with support for up to 60.

It's due out in autumn 2008.

"We suspect he may have been joking."

Yeah, especially when he mentions the mosques. I mean, dealing with an angry letter from the CoE is one thing, but put a mosque in there and - BAM! - it* will blow up in your face.

Less 'Brown' might be a good idea.

They should definitely keep away from including mosques if they know what is good for them (though Mohammad chucking gas cannisters would make a cool boss fight..). Besides, it is a PS3 game and mosques they tend to be very colorful... not just brown...

They should set the whole thing in a church. A giant church. That the aliens built over what used to be London.

Then have lots of smaller churches inside that church, comprising levels, inside of which the buildings are largely comprised of churches.

The aliens should fly spacecraft that look like churches, and there should be a minigame during the loading screens that plays like minesweeper, except you're trying to blow up churches.

Deus Ex 2 had a mosque in it and you could kill people inside. Muslims weren't too bothered about that.

This time there'll be no killing.

But you'll get to see gay alien sex inside the cathedral.

The church bit in Resistance was one of the best parts of the game IMO... ;)

... and it made for a great multiplayer level when you could jump onto the roof and stuff. Resistance 2 absolutely *must* have more churches in it otherwise I won't be buying it!!! :P LOL

Boring. They should have statues Jesus you can kick in the balls and a Ganesha you can snap the arms off. Imagine the free advertising on that.

Xiphos
40 single player mode up to 60

oh, it's an MMORPG


Where do you get the RPG bit from?

More players generally means more fun IMO, just be sure not to take the experience seriously! 64 players on Omagh beach in Battlefield 1942 anyone?

Don't be silly, Ted Price isn't religious, he's C of E. The least religious of all religions.

Gay alien sex. Who care?? A priest and a boy is more relevant. When the church come down on Sony, Ted can said we are making a documentary.
