Ted Price Comments On Resistance 2 Going Head To Head With Gears Of War 2
October 01, 2008
Sequelitis is a chronic (and generally cherished) disease for the game industry. The holiday season will serve up a massive dose. Ted Price, president/CEO of Insomniac Games, talked about his upcoming sequel and PS3 exclusive, Resistance 2. It’s slotted to go head-to-head with the Xbox 360 shooter Gears of War 2. According to Price he’s looking forward to picking up Cliff Bleszinski’s baby but he’s not terribly worried about the competition.
In his interview with GameDaily, Price stated, “Ultimately, as a PS3 owner and an Xbox 360 owner myself, [Resistance 2 and Gears of War 2] are two games I would get. I want to have the most entertaining experiences on both consoles, so I am going to get the games that have the best feedback. So far, Gears has had fantastic feedback, and I think it looks beautiful. Resistance will make a lot of PS3 owners happy too.”
And that road to happiness will be paved in the remains of the Chimera. Price admitted that the dev team amped up the gore factor for Resistance 2. “We blow up Chimera into big chunks and you’ll see a lot more blood and body parts. That’s because they’re bad guys and we enjoy cutting them to pieces.”
