Resistance 2 recebe Patch e DLC

Resistance 2
prepara-se para receber várias actualizações. A primeira surge em forma
de Patch (patch. V1.50) e será totalmente gratuito. O segundo vai estar
disponível como Download pela Playstation Store.

O
Patch vai incluir um novo modo para Multiplayer de nome Meltdown, assim
como um novo nível de dificuldade para o modo Co-Op, que permite ganhar
novos lotes de experiência. O Patch permite ainda aos jogadores de
Co-Op locais ligar-se com a sua conta PSN e assim guardar os pontos
acumulados no Co-Op de Resistance 2.

O DLC divide-se entre um
Pack de mapas de nome The Aftermath, que irá custar perto de 5€, e
várias Skins para utilizar no modo Online, estas disponíveis por 0.99€
cada.

Tanto o Patch como os DLC vão ser lançados nos Estados Unidos no dia 29 de Março, mas espera-se que cheguem às PS3 europeias na mesma data.

Resistance 2 DLC and Patch 1.50 Available for Download on March 26



Posted by Bryan Intihar // Community Manager, Insomniac Games

Game on! Tomorrow (March 26) we’ll be bringing you a host of downloadable content for Resistance 2,
plus another patch that helps improve the online experience even
further (and includes several requests that came from…well, you!). So
let’s get right down to it, shall we?
The DLC comes in two forms: new competitive multiplayer maps and
character skins. The Aftermath Map Pack features three new
battlefields, two set in Twin Falls (Aftermath and Pit Stop) and
another in Orick (Outpost). All of the maps support 20-player
Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch, while Outpost also lets you play
20-player Core Control. The Aftermath Map Pack will be available for
download through the PlayStation Store for $5.99.


We also have six new competitive multiplayer character skins. In
addition to our usual band of brothers (of the human, Cloven, and
Chimeran variety), we even have two selections for our female R2
players. You can download the following skins through the PlayStation
Store for $0.99 each: Rachael Parker, Female Soldier, Ravager, Cloven
(Retribution model), Ranger Variation, and Black Ops Variation.
Then we have patch 1.50, or what some on the MyResistance.net
forums have been calling the “the big patch.” And it definitely lives
up to that nickname—it’s quite substantial. Once you install the patch
(the download prompt will come up automatically once you start R2),
you’ll now be treated to:

Meltdown Mode: We’ve read the message-board comments.
We’ve seen the online petition. You want it? You got it! Patch 1.50
brings back Meltdown, the popular Resistance: Fall of Man multiplayer mode in which each team attempts to gain control of the map by capturing beacons.
Superhuman Co-op Mode: Does your eight-man Specter
squad possess the skills to survive this all-new difficulty? It
features stronger enemies and disables auto-respawning (only another
squadmate can revive you), but dishes out bigger rewards (double the
Grey Tech and XP per round).Second PSN Login Support:
Your fellow couch potato can now save their character’s multiplayer
progress, thanks to the added option to log in with two unique PSN accounts.
