Action will take place in the United States, apparently, and
feature partially randomised geometry to keep things fresh each time you blast through it.
Those gigantic 60-player online battles will be squad-based, and have you choose your role from one of three classes: a hardy soldier with heavy weaponry, a special ops type for ranged attacks like sniping and a medic.
Resistance 2 will matchmake you with others of your skill too, ensuring you never face a team disproportionately better than yours.
New enemies will also feature, unsurprisingly, such as Chameleon and Stalker baddies with a
cloaking ability. Arnold could beat them.
Insomniac has also taken feedback from the first game to improve long checkpoints and the health system, as well as u
sing more of the PS3 power to cram greater numbers of enemies on screen and boost their intelligence to Key Stage 2.
Yesterday US magazine Game Informer revealed its Resistance 2 cover feature, effectively announcing its arrival to the world.
The biggest new additions are a
separate eight-player co-operative campaign (or two-player in local mode), and the enormous online battles.
Resistance 2 is due for release this year on PS3, according to Three Speech, and you can see the first shots over in our gallery.
