Cliff Bleszinski: Comparing Gears of War 2 to Resistance 2 is “Largely Apples to Oranges”
by Chelsea Thompson on October 10, 2008 at 2:40 pm
In a recent interview, Cliff Bleszinski talked a bit about his opinion on Resistance 2, and how it might affect the sales of GoW2. Since the two games will be shipping in the same week there might be a bit of competition in sales, despite the sci-fi shooters being released exclusively on different consoles.
Bleszinski shoots down the speculations that this might be cause for bad blood between himself and the CEO of Insomniac Games, Ted Price, stating:
“Ted (Price) is a wonderful guy and I think they do great work. Everybody loves this dynasty shit where they want to see Ted and I fighting in a fountain pulling each other’s hair or something like that. Sorry, but it’s not going to happen. They’re making their own sci-fi extravaganza, as are we. When you break it down and look at each game, it’s largely apples to oranges.”
Granted, it’s more like comparing sepia apples to glowing oranges (has anyone else noticed that everything in Resistance 2 glows orange?). It’s still interesting to see that while these two games might fall under the same genre, they will probably both offer completely different experiences when it comes to gameplay and story.
Which one will you be buying this November?

that title’s got a nice ring to it..anc could probably be used for both games easily.

Since I have no 360, and I haven’t played Resistance yet, probably neither.

what are you guys going to do when God of War 3 comes out, will you call it GoW3? what if say Gears 3 and God of War 3 come out nearly the same time? Just curious.

Highly doubt Gears of War 3 comes out about the same time next year when God of War 3 comes out…highly highly highly unlikely.

Gears 2
5 player co-op and Horde Mode alone beats Resistance 2!
