Is it fair to say that Resistance 2 is Sony's Halo?

Insomniac are some of the only game developers I have seen who actually read the reviews of their games, and improve what people say is bad. They say they want online co-op, Insomniac gives them 8-player online co-op in a completely different campaign.

I suppose Resistance could be called Sony's Halo, but I agree with everyone who said it is going in the opposite direction, from good to excellent.

I doubt it will get Halo's sales. 1. I'm not sure why Halo manages to sell more copies than it really should (Halo 3 sold 8.1 million). 2. Halo and Resistance were both launch games for their platforms, so Resistance should have every bit as much popularity as Halo. Of course, the review scores are lower and I'll admit Combat Evolved is a better game than Fall of Man. 3. But I'm going to guess R2 will be better than Halo 2 (because Halo 2 was pretty bad by Halo standards)

 

1. Because its a great game and better FPS package than any FPS available on ps3 thus far.

2. Difference is that Halo 1 was revolutionary at the time and an experience never seen on a console before with quite a good story to boot. Resistance was an ok, run of the mill shooter that only got the attention it did as it was the only PS3 launch title worth purchasing.

3. Halo 2 was an amazing gaming achievement for a console. There is no way Halo 3 would have had such amazing launch sales had Halo 2 not been great. WIll resistance 2 be as good as Halo 2 was when it came out...i doubt it, but we will know in Novemeber.
