Think the women from Myres 1.0 will be happy about the female skins anyway.

Sweet. I didnt listen to the interview.
When does that come out? Have they said yet?

Patch and DLC come out on Thursday 26/3 in the US. Not sure if they will be in the SCEE store on that day too. I'm going to get the Rachel Parker skin.

I cant wait for the patch that will bring me back to R2 for a while

the cloven look like the ones on R:R and Im surprised at how fair the price is for it

Eat im with you I using the Parker skin but the other female skin looks cool too

The thing doesn't play for me. I try and try but....

So its not a bundle of skins? You have to buy them separate, or will it be available both ways.

Map Pack is one download at $5.99. Skins are separate and I think you buy them individually at 99c each.

Let me guess. A bunny never reveals his secrets.

Lobby text chat. Lobby text chat. lobby text chat. Buddy list. In-game PMs. Ignore lists. PLEASE!!!!!!

My guess is we'll have to spend around $10 to get everything. I'll probably fork it over, looks like some pretty cool stuff.

I'm worried how bad I'll actually be at the game now though

What ever it costs, it will get me playing it again for sure.

that'd be nice since no one has been playing it the last few times I've logged in ...

Patch looks AMAZING. I can't wait for it. *dies of anticipation before tomorrow*

R2 DLC and Patch 1.50 Available for Download on March 26

By Bryan Intihar, Community Manager, Insomniac Games
Posted Wednesday, March 25, 2009


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.

But that’s really just the beginning of patch 1.50’s offerings:
XP balance adjustments for competitive mode
Announcements screen
Failsafe save support
Password protected custom games
Added ability to “Report” player
Teams switch sides between Core Control rounds
Players now automatically go to staging after every competitive or cooperative game (regame)
Localization updates
Various stat fixes
Collision fixes on Bryce Canyon and Holar Tower cooperative levels
New leaderboards
Map fixes for competitive Chicago level
Games with Friends and Clan members in them are now highlighted in the “Find Game” screen
Limited late joining has been added to ranked games
Deathmatch spawning has been improved
Players can’t earn progress towards Berserks when they are dead
Reduced sprint speed of core carrier in Core Control games
Cooperative XP bonuses have been increased by 30%
Cooperative games respawn time is now 20 seconds
Players keep their grenades if they get revived in a cooperative game
Players now have a “Join Game” option for players on their friends list
A player’s own name is now in white in the obituary text

Manic Medic – Heal for 1000 points within 3 seconds (Coop)

If you have any questions concerning the DLC and patch 1.50, you can find us on the MyResistance.net forums.

You beat me to it.

I have the thing copied and was ready to paste.

TOO SLOW JOE

Looking good, looking good :afro:

Thought there might be a cheaper option for purchasing ALL the skins though. Looks like I'll be going without the XY ones.

I still have to wonder if the PS Store will bundle them.
Can and do they do that on their own?
