We waited a long time for the sequel to Resistance, the sci-fi shooter on the PlayStation 3. According to a preview from 1Up, it looks like the game isn’t in any danger of being delayed so we won’t have to wait any longer than we have to.

According to the preview, Resistance 2’s single-player maps and the co-op campaign are already running thanks to a new initiative from the developers:

Unbelievable as it may seem, Insomniac claims that more or less all of the single-player maps are finished and running in a rough state. This is largely due to a new initiative from the developer that has them focusing on building the gameplay first and then adding art assets and balance tweaks later. Large portions of the co-op campaign are also confirmed to be running, so that fall 2008 release date is looking pretty much like a certainty now.

This is certainly welcome news since Resistance 2 is a pretty ambitious project. In the initial announcement of its release, Resistance 2 has been revealed to have 8-man co-op and supports up to a whopping 60 players in multiplayer mode.

Even if the game isn’t delayed, we still have to wait though. For what? A precise date of release of course. Check back for updates!

With all its talk of PSP integration and a sprawling console-based virtual world, one can’t help but feel some sort of amazement at the coming of PlayStation Home. For our readers out there who are living in Japan right now, you might be wondering, “When are we going to get Home?” Well, we can finally give you an answer to that question, and that answer is, “Spring 2008.”

While making our daily rounds on the Japanese websites, we managed to find a little tidbit that all but assures us of a Spring release. It seems that, at the Tokyo Content Market 2007 symposium, a senior producer for Sony managed to say that Japan would also see the PlayStation Home come Spring 2008.

Seeing as PlayStation Home is also set for release in other territories in Spring 2008, could we expect to see a simultaneous worldwide release? The possibility certainly exists, complete with the potential bells and whistles of a PlayStation Home launch party. In any case, we’ll certainly keep you updated on the latest happenings in PlayStation land. Keep checking QJ for more updates as they happen.
