Insomniac Games‘ president and CEO Ted Price was at E3 2008 where he revealed that Resistance 2 will have 44 Magnums which shoot bombs that you can detonate at will, and the removal of health bars for a more immersive experience.

Price said that “We’ve [Insomniac Games] really upped the gore.” To punctuate the point, he explained that players can now blow off arms, legs, and heads in the game. To help facilitate the slaughter, the developers introduced a 44 Magnum which fires bullets that can be detonated by remote. Imagine shooting and then detonating them while they’re lodged inside a Chimera, that’s poetry in motion right there.

Finally, he also pointed out that the game will no longer have a health bar. When players are shot, the screen now becomes reddish similar to the effect found in Call of Duty. Awesome eh?

A question Price didn’t answer though, was PSP cross-platform play. He simply said that they were not addressing this at the moment. Could this mean that they have something in the works at the moment since he didn’t deny it? Perhaps. We’ll have to wait for them to talk about it.
