Resistance 2, Insomniac Gamesâ follow-up to PlayStation 3 launch title Resistance: Fall of Man, reviewed better than the original sci-fi first person shooter. So why is Insomniac so bummed about reception to that game?
The developerâs senior community manager James Stevenson tells Videogamer that it was the long-running fan reaction to Resistance 2 that weighed heavily on the team. Stevenson laments that âthe overall opinion of it is that it was a failure by fans, that Resistance 2 was a failure, because maybe the expectations were so high for it.â
Stevenson bemoaned that negative fan feedback to Resistance 2âs design choices was âlike your dog turned on you.â
Personally, I wasnât as big of a fan of the second Resistance as I was the first, even in light of the ample multiplayer component that Insomniac added to the game. Fortunately, for Stevensonâs mental health, I was probably lower on the rabid fan totem than the rest of the community.
