Massive Resistance 2 ad in LA features rampaging Leviathan

by Alexander Sliwinski { Oct 21st 2008 at 10:00PM }

A ginormous ad promoting ~~Cloverfield 2~~ Resistance 2 has taken over one of the buildings on Los Angeles' well-trafficked Wilshire Blvd. The building-board features one of R2's massive Leviathans crashing through the complex. G4 has some more images of the ad from different angles.

We strongly recommend not walking by this thing whilst on hallucinogenic drugs. Wait, what are we saying?! Nobody walks in LA.

No matter how hard sony tries, this can never beat GOW2.

Osman @ Oct 21st 2008 10:04PM

It makes all sense now!!! The monster from Cloverfield, came from LA!! How could I be so stupid.

Jacksons @ Oct 21st 2008 10:05PM

ROAR! Yeah, I can't wait.

POOLSCLOSED @ Oct 21st 2008 10:06PM

LOL, is that the South Korean embassy on the bottom? It looks as if Leviathan is trying to grasp the flag.

Zoot Suit Jedi @ Oct 22nd 2008 10:12AM

Koreans are tasty.

Just Mr ESC. @ Oct 22nd 2008 2:18PM

So..

LA with a Korean flag!?

zuburi @ Oct 21st 2008 10:37PM

Huh, I wasn't aware that they passed legislature outlawing all foreign flags within the US border.

Slaziman @ Oct 21st 2008 10:47PM

And even if there was such legislation, the embassy is considered Korean territory, and thereby exept from such a law.

H Choi @ Oct 21st 2008 10:48PM

You've obviously never been to L.A. before have you?

brother.rope @ Oct 21st 2008 11:30PM

No. I'm British!

riggs @ Oct 22nd 2008 12:45AM

and here i thought you were an overweight hispanic dude on an island.

brother.rope @ Oct 22nd 2008 1:15AM

Dammit.. covers blown! :(

Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Oct 21st 2008 10:14PM

Is it bad that when I first saw that pic, I thought it was a Gears of War 2 ad?

offday @ Oct 21st 2008 10:16PM

No. I thought the same thing. A lot of people have said that the Resistance monster reminds them a lot of the locust, myself included.

Jacksons @ Oct 21st 2008 10:17PM

Well yes, being illiterate is a tad unfortunate. I kid! I kid.

stoik @ Oct 21st 2008 10:56PM

Neither. It's all about star wars http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rancor

Its face does look a lot like a Corpser's.

Funny thing is that I was hyped for Resistance 2 until I got into the public beta. Just doesn't feel like a big enough leap from the fist iteration. The campaign & co-op is where the meat & potatoes will be. The massive 30 vs 30 MP felt really bad. There was allot of bullet lag and there were many times that everyone bunched into one spot and it turned into a blood bath.

I won't be getting Resistance 2 until some patches are made or until there is a 10-20$ price drop. I think I will prefer to play Socom:Confrontation, Far Cry 2, Bad Company & Gears 2 for my MP shootouts.

Other than all that non-sense the ad looks boss hog.

J @ Oct 21st 2008 10:39PM

That's interesting considering that i care so little about regular multiplayer. It's the 8 player coop that i've been playing in the beta, that made this a MUST BUY. I'm so addicted to it. It sucks that only one map is available in beta for coop. I can't wait to try the others.

PSN: johnnynumber5 @ Oct 21st 2008 11:50PM

Yeah you are correct. The co-op is insane. The regular multiplayer was super weak. After playing the co-op it certainly made the game appealing. I just don't think its enough (for me) to justify a day 1 purchase. I don't want to sound that I am against the game or that I think it sucks. The fact is that there are so many good games being released I will be forced to make tough decisions.

Vcize @ Oct 22nd 2008 10:53AM

I'd be a lot more interested if the co-op worked in the normal campaign. Without the normal campaign I'm not interested in the story of the co-op campaign, and there's no way I'm playing through that long ass single player campaign by myself (given how much I hated the SP in the first one).

Ah well, I'll still probably gamefly it just to try out the 8-player co-op, story be damned. Do we still get to fight the Leviathan in that, or is that only in the SP campaign?
