[video][oog?] Resistance 2: Twisted History

Released 5pm GMT today at Eurogamer.net - this video is a timeline overview leading to Resistance 2.

It's art style seems very similar to the ARG (though it could easily be 42 is following the game's art syle) - and note the 'reel to reel' Smile

Anyway... does the narrator not sound a lot like Edward James Olmos (Cmdr Adama!) to anyone else?

Resistance has always had that war-time propaganda art style, even before the ARG. I tried stopping the video trying to read the posters and pamphlets but i don't think theres anything significant.

That looked really cool, regardless of the fact that it somewhat diverges from actual world events. *cough* Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes

You mean the Russian population wasn't wiped off the face of the earth by alien invaders 60 years ago, only to be replaced by super-human cannibalistic monsters?

Dammit... fake history is so much more awesome.

That really did make me LOL. Is there anything we can't stick that moron with? (besides, you know, being a decent human being?) Laughing

I tried to think of something, but I'm pretty sure there isn't. He's fair game for everything..

I certainly wouldn't WANT the whole Russian population decimated... but I have to admit, that story would have kept me awake in high school.

Thank you, for your support of my nationality. Now to proceed with a second rise of communism and World War 3. *cough*

But yes, there are some holes that need to be considered when watching.

-A wall longer than the one in China? My ass. There'd be a revolution against the tsar and the rise of communism before it was even a quarter done.

-That message they heard in London from Russia isn't Russian. Sounds slavic, but not Russian.

-A WALL BUILT WITHOUT UPRISINGS!?!?!?

-Roosevelt lost? Insanity! This Grace character sounds like a piece of fecal matter. I don't care what Dana Carvey says, Roosevelt was the greatest public speaker of the last millennium; not Clinton.

-Must I mention it again? Russians are not THAT loyal to the tsar.

This ends Greg's weekly Questions.....to consider when watching [insert film/movie here]
