Yup, the long awaited sequel to Resistance:Fall of Man has finally been announced, and my god, we have one hell of a game in our hands guys!
The original Resistance supported 40 people in one room max, while providing an offline-only co-op option to play through it's story line.
Resistance 2 will support a maximum of 60 people per game on MASSIVE maps based on a United States setting(60!)! Will have different types of players like Medics, Heavy Duty Solders, etc. al la COD4. But what is simply mind blowing is that it will support an 8 person co-op story line,
aside from the single player story line. So you're getting two full story lines with the game. Oh and it supports 2 player offline co-op also. The game is scheduled for a Fall 08 release date, and knowing Insomniac, there will be no delays...Oh and the current graphical level of the game is simply amazing for a second year game, simply annihilates the original Resistance! Here are a few scans from February's issue of Game Informer(P.S - They're so big, I just linked to them instead):

If I'm not mistaken, Sony also said a while back this game is still in Alpha stage...doubt it though but hey, I am SO F*CKING HYPED FOR THIS GAME!!!
