See Resistance 2's Leviathan boss

by Jason Dobson { Jul 3rd 2008 at 8:00AM }

While GamePro is sharing the goods on Resistance 2 in its latest issue, we know that not everyone is a fan of getting their game news off the rack so we thought we'd share the first couple of screens from the magazine's cover story. Posted by the PlayStation Blog, the shots give us a look at Chimera-occupied Chicago as well as the city's resident boss, a massive 300-foot Leviathan. Honestly, we don't know if we're more excited to collect the Trophy for dropping this baddie, or simply watch him rip through downtown, Cloverfield-style.

Can you say "Locust"?

j.howlett @ Jul 3rd 2008 8:25AM

kill.switch?

xFenixKnightx @ Jul 3rd 2008 9:22AM

Yup Cliffy B, err Cliff pretty much said himself that KillSwitch + RE4 = Gears :)

As for this beast, the head looks just like a Brumak, the body not so much.

Obie @ Jul 3rd 2008 2:29PM

Can you say "Cloverfield"? ;)

uh-oh polio @ Jul 3rd 2008 8:24AM

how can anyone say this looks bad?

spartan 6453 @ Jul 3rd 2008 8:54AM

It doesn't look bad, it looks "brumak".

The True Gamer @ Jul 3rd 2008 8:38AM

Looks like a Brumak from Gears.

Schedule an appointment with your eye doctor, you have issues with scale, size, color, proportions and shapes.

The only things that are remotely similar are an open mouth, more than 2 eyes and brown skin (Not even the same shade of brown)

if you mean the dude from this screenshot

then it looks nothing like him.

FOXHOUND @ Jul 3rd 2008 9:13AM

It'll be hard to overheat that damn thing. x_x

Rodrigo @ Jul 3rd 2008 9:17AM

here are the weapons im going to use to beat this son of a bear. 1. LAARK (and if it still has that lil trick i'll use it too) 2. Bullseye- classic weapon to kiil enemies by tagging them.3. Auger- great for protection and shooing at the same time.yup dis nigga is dead in my book

Bucfann @ Jul 17th 2008 3:08PM

Who's the gay guy you have as your Avatar pic?

Bucfann @ Jul 3rd 2008 9:26AM

Who's the gay guy you have as your Avatar pic? Looks like Vin Diesels even gayer brother...

xGeneral DEATHx @ Jul 3rd 2008 9:32AM

LMAO.

Rodrigo @ Jul 3rd 2008 9:42AM

gay guy? hahahahaha lol. ok whatever you say dude.

that guy @ Jul 3rd 2008 9:55AM

I hate to be such a geek and answer such a geeky comment, but buddy - you ain't gonna take down a 300 foot alien with a Bullseye or Auger. I'm guessing you'll have to someone topple a building on this thing or cram a nuke up its arse.

JerJerBinks @ Jul 3rd 2008 9:56AM

He doesn't look black to me.

juju187 @ Jul 3rd 2008 12:58PM

thats vid diesel's new R&B album,
I wanna be Whack

DEEZNUTZ @ Jul 3rd 2008 9:44AM

Cloverfield?

Vcize @ Jul 3rd 2008 10:03AM

Cloverfield was awesome.

I didn't really like R1 at all, but I may give this a shot if this boss battle ends up cool. It's just so hard to fit stuff in with the bevy of great games already out and coming out soon though.

SirWalksAlot @ Jul 3rd 2008 10:07AM

Ok so the idea is obviously unoriginal. But why does it have to be REALLY unoriginal. It even LOOKS like the cloverfield monster, on top of just being your standard giant monster attacking a city.

turkeybaster @ Jul 3rd 2008 10:23AM

First of all, did you even watch Cloverfield? The monsters are like night and day here. One is a giant, angular, armored thing, and the other was a pissed off gorilla-fish-frog.

Second...when's the last time you played an FPS with a 300 foot tall monster attacking a city? I'm wracking my brain here and I can't think of one.

And at deaftly:

I can't believe people even trot that out anymore.

Boy With Balls on Chin @ Jul 3rd 2008 10:51AM

It may look like the Cloverfield monster somewhat but you can see where they got the design if you played Resistance.

The head looks just like the Chimeras that you fight throughout the game. So give it a big body and it becomes a blatant copy of Cloverfield..ok

If anything, the Cloverfield beast looks like a giant Chimera so its the unoriginal one.

tmacairjordan87 @ Jul 3rd 2008 12:21PM

Sorry guy but that looks nothing like the cloverfield monster

deaftly @ Jul 3rd 2008 10:14AM

This is a ps2 game right?

hotnutz @ Jul 3rd 2008 10:32AM

Correct! You are very witty and perceptive Deaftly.

Oh, on a related note, please tell your mom not to snort any more cocaine while she is pregnant. Having to read your comments alone online is bad enough.

xFenixKnightx @ Jul 3rd 2008 11:20AM

Hotnutz, you are correct sir deaftly is pretty hilarious :)

Deaftly these aren't PS2 graphics, its PS3 4D. Put your glasses on dude and PLAY B3YOND. Sheesh!

deaftly @ Jul 3rd 2008 12:23PM

heh I needed a downvote for today, Happy 3 day weekend everyone!

ThePerfectCompanion @ Jul 3rd 2008 12:57PM

LOL

Zoesch @ Jul 3rd 2008 2:12PM

Unfortunately the only PS2 game I'm seeing is Infinite Undiscovery.

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/35817.html

Ugh, talk about disappointment :(

Jakka @ Jul 3rd 2008 10:35AM

...but can it top Painkiller bosses in terms of sheer size and awesomeness?

PojoMofo @ Jul 3rd 2008 11:14AM

"Here come the Men in Black....galaxy Defendaaaaaaaaaa"

Seriously, This thing looks fun to try and take down

Solid Chief @ Jul 3rd 2008 11:19AM

A massive boss gets coolfactor++
The boss's design looks uninspired and bad, making the coolfact go down.

I'm not talking about the alleged brumak head I'm saying the torso and the hands look that way.

But really, is a massive monster, if its fun to fight and (hopefully) kill, then I don't care.

Solid Chief @ Jul 3rd 2008 11:19AM

Solid Chief @ Jul 3rd 2008 11:20AM

>=( Fuck Joystiq and its non showing up of comments till after I try and post a second time (It used to always happen, but now its actually posting instead of faking it)

Marty @ Jul 3rd 2008 12:07PM

I know I'm going to get hell for saying this, but so far, everything I've seen of Resistance 2 (the video with the plane crash and the monster jumping at you, this, and some other screens) just looks so... generic.

That'll probably change as more media become available, but so far, I'm not really impressed.

Tez (PSN: Tezasaurus) @ Jul 3rd 2008 12:32PM

I'm just hoping the 8-player co-op turns out good- and I'm interested in the big online deathmatches too. I really didn't like the first game at all.

Dwag @ Jul 3rd 2008 5:55PM

I'm late but don't expect to be impressed it not an imPRESSIVE game just an average shooter for PS3 owners to scratch that FPS itch until another COD4 hits or Killzone 2 turns out to be good. 4.5 million sales for this while Gears 2 will have double.

juju187 @ Jul 3rd 2008 1:00PM

well if this is your answer for gear of war2,
we'll ps3 did come out a year after...

Leobebes @ Jul 3rd 2008 2:00PM

Sony: Stealing your achievements, cross game invites, and Brumacks since the summer of 08'.

Noshino @ Jul 3rd 2008 2:48PM

Don't get ahead of yourself, we haven't "stolen" your cross game invites....YET

dave @ Jul 7th 2008 9:47AM

Man, that thing is such an obvious rip-off of the Stay-Puft Marshmallow man

Ranus Studios @ Jul 3rd 2008 3:22PM

I am suddenly somewhat interested in the game.

Kracken @ Jul 17th 2008 11:15PM

WoW.
Not the awesome MMO.
But that Leviathan looks freakin sweet.
And it does not look like a Brumak.
More like the Leviathans from Ratchet and Clank: Future.
Because they're made by the same people.
Retards.
It does resemble Cloverfield, however.
But you cant whip out a semi-automatic rifle and shoot the hell out of Cloverfield.... now can ya?
Maybe the DVD case.
But. not. the. monster. :)
Resistance 2 will be an exceptionally good game, get used to the idea ya freakin Microsoft fanboys.
Why no Nintendo fanboys?
Because no little kids should be looking at this picture.
My apologies Shigeru Miyamato!
