Resistance 2 co-op to have independent story

We've been mostly trying to avoid spilling any beans about the story of Resistance 2 because, well, we want to be surprised too. However, a new Q&A session over at GameTap revealed some interesting stuff we thought you guys might like to know. If you knew already, consider it a reminder for when you gloat and brag about this game to your friends. Don't worry — no spoilers.

You should be aware there is a co-op mode, where eight folks can join up and tackle the game together with three different classes (medic, soldier, and special ops). Insomniac hinted that they have something in the works to make the gameplay fresh every time you play co-op, depending on how your team splits their classes. They won't reveal what, though.

There's a lot more story and character development this time around. No more narration by the crazy British woman — it's all about Nathan Hale. Co-op mode, however, has a completely different story. It's unique and pretty shrouded in secrecy as of now. There's a ton more information about multi-player experiences and how Insomniac feels about a number of things, but as far as useful information goes, it's up to you to decide.
