Insomniac Frustrated By Fan Reaction To Resistance 2

When unleashed last winter Resistance Fall Of Man 2 was a huge hit with video games magazines and critics everywhere. However, the same couldn’t be said for long term fans of the series, of which I count myself one of.
According to Videogamer game developer Insomniac are extremely frustrated by the negative fan reaction to the game, and are trying to address some of the issues that have arose.
The companies senior community manager James Stevenson said that the reaction from fans was similar to “your dog turning on you”.
“Resistance 2 got better reviews than Resistance 1, but the long-term fan feedback from that game weighed on me,” he said.
“So we got better reviews than Resistance 1, but the 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.
“But that weighs on you more. We talk to journalists a lot but we deal with our fans every day – and when they are disappointed… Reviewers are playing lots of games. They’re supposed to be critical.”
