Reminder: Global servers, DLC for Resistance coming June 7th

Aside from being an inexhaustible source of adorable cat pictures, the internet is responsible for allowing gamers to reach across their geographical borders, embrace a foreign culture... and then shoot it in the face. It's a noble use of technology, one that has until now been somewhat restricted in Insomniac's Resistance: Fall of Man. A new downloadable update meant to demolish regional restrictions and implement global multiplayer was initially due by the end of May, but was shifted to this Thursday.Greg Philips of SCEA told CVG last week, "The reason for the delay is we (SCEA) needed a little extra time to get the global servers locked in and ready for thousands of players to come knocking. We would rather have a short delay and continue to deliver on our over the top, online experience." Apart from enabling men from all countries to fall, the update will introduce new multiplayer maps for purchase and "other enhancements" to the PS3's Chimera-blasting launch title. You'll be sure to see us online -- unless we're hiding around a corner with that lovely Bullseye gun.

Anything to extend the longevity of the PS3's only decent game...

Ha thousands of players...good luck beating XBOX LIVE SONY. Wait weren't you guys supposed to do that out the gate?

Not to knock the PS3, but this is yet another reason why the XBOX Live infrastructure is superior to PSN. The idea that a company (for a first party title at that) has to release patch 6 months after a game comes out just to enable worldwide online play is ridiculous. With XBL devs/pubs need not worry about this kind of stuff. They don't have to waste dev costs on setting up and maintaining an online infrastructure, it's all laid out for them, tried and true.
Perhaps with HOME Sony will fix this. Probably not.

Where are the SONY fanboys? My message has been up for hours and not a single one...weird.
