No code :(

Is this suppose to be EU as well, or just USA?

If EU as well, I have absolutely dire luck of getting into beta's unless they are "spam refresh some website for code".

[Dirk]

I think the EU one starts tomorrow. That is what I have read anyway. This wasn't even the code I was suppose to get from Gamestop so if you pre-ordered through Play maybe you guys will get it later today or tomorrow.

EU BETA starts Monday.

I hope theres a key giveaway on Eurogamer again or something like it.

Resistance 2 public beta this Monday

The UK Resistance 2 public beta will kick off on Monday 20 October and will run through to 13 November, Sony has confirmed to CVG.

Initial access keys for the beta - around 7000 - are being given out via the internet, but there's every chance more could be made available a little later.

The US public beta kicked off today, so it's all go over the pond. If any of our US readers could tell us exactly what's in the beta, that would be jolly nice of you.

Woohoo another case of us in Europe needing to F5 the **** out of Eurogamer!

[Dirk]

The game comes out the 4th. Why does the beta go through the 13th? Unless you guys get it after us.

Some new multiplayer screenshots

Not great shots, but seeing as the beta is expanding, we should get some better ones over the next day or two!

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

To buy or not to buy, that is the question..

[Brad.]

Wow, what's up with the last three shots? Minus the minor blur the graphics/colours/textures look... meh

[+Audioboxer Subscriber²]

It's the most ambitious FPS game in a while I think, just gotta wait and try the beta, and see how reviews go.

I'm not pre-ordering, I'll buy it off shelf/online for/after release if it gets good praise.

More screens, and more coming

[Emil Valsson]

Just got a invite through e-mail. :)

[shakey]

eh, games looks bland and generic still...... the still hd images are awesome, but after watching the gameplay, im left with a feeling that its the same , just with extra features. R1 didnt impress me with anything.

[KoL Veteran]

I preordered the game on Gamestop and I don't have the email yet. :(

Got a beta key today.

[Smigit]

I feel the same so far but hopefully I'm wrong. Watching the video left me with the same feeling as watching the Haze ones before it's release. It looks pretty enough but it just felt uninteresting to watch.

I'd like it to turn out well but as it's one I'd contemplated getting.

[Dirk]

Played it yesterday for a couple of hours and loved it. Glad I already pre-ordered the special edition. Eighty dollars well spent.

Resistance 2: The Latest Trailer

Hey everyone! Hope you enjoyed the blitz of new info, impressions, screens and footage from Resistance 2 in the past couple of weeks. We’re hoping to continue that today, with the release of our latest trailer for the game.

As development on the game is wrapping up in here in Burbank, and the last few bugs are hunted down and squashed, we wanted to make an announcement we’re very excited about. Since Resistance: Fall of Man, one of the biggest feature requests for the game was that we implemented split-screen online play. We are happy to announce that Resistance 2 will feature 2-player split-screen play for both competitive play as well as our 8-player online co-op campaign! Now you won’t have to stop leveling up your medic just because your friend is over!

In addition – we recently announced the contents of our collector’s edition. Many of you wrote in asking for the bonus disc to be a Blu-Ray instead of a DVD. We can also announce that the Bonus Disc will now indeed be a Blu-Ray disc, bringing almost all of the special features to you in High-Definition.

We are excited to play you guys online during the public beta in the coming weeks, as well as when the game releases on November 4th.

If you have questions or comments, please post below. Bryan Intihar and I will be around to answer!

Check out the new trailer guys, it's awesome!

I think this will be the one everyone is cautious about, that will thankfully blow away the doubts. Rather than be the one over-hyped and expected to be Jesus-like, and fail.

I'm away out.

[Nightz]

i think just watching the gameplay does the game no justice. you have to actually experience the 8 player co-op to see how great it is. so if you're still on the fence about this, i suggest trying to get into the beta.
