One of my biggest regrets about choosing an Xbox 360 over the PS3 is that I never got a chance to play Insomniac's Resistance 2. I played the first Resistance game, Fall of Man all the way through on a friend's PS3 when it first launched; It was my first taste of 'Next Gen' and I absolutely loved it. The graphics weren't quite as amazing as I'd hoped, but the frame rate was totally slick and solid (something you don't see much these days) and the weapons were totally bad-ass. I still fondly remember the thrill of hitting and killing someone through a solid wall with the Chimeran Auger rifle.
Resistance 3's launch is now 'only' a year away and I'm wondering if I'll get a chance to play it either. Without knowing what happened in Resistance 2 I'm not even sure how much sense things will make, or even if I'm still playing as the Chimera/human hybrid soldier guy from the first game.
Is it still set in the UK? Obviously I'm biased, but it was cool playing a game recognisably set in my own green and (un)pleasant land rather than it happening in the US or some random sci-fi planet like most shooters.
I suppose I should find these things out myself, but considering that I may not even be able to play it, is there any point getting myself all worked up?
