This week, Sony Europe threw a special event for the games press to tout its PlayStation-branded wares. As part of a presentation containing announcements both heartening (PSP's video download service) and less so (Killzone 2 being delayed to 2009), Insomniac Games took the stage to demonstrate Resistance 2. But while the developer had promised on multiple occasions prior to the event that the ambitious sci-fi shooter's multiplayer mode would support a whopping 60 players, GameSpot UK correspondents noticed the demo appeared to support just 45.

　　Today, Insomniac clarified the situation, saying Resistance 2 can already support 60 simultaneous players in online battles, and will indeed do so when it ships later this year. "Since this past February, we've been conducting 60-player online gameplay tests internally and with other Sony studios," Insomniac Community Director told GameSpot. "We supported 60 players throughout the Sony Europe PlayStation Day event yesterday, filling games to capacity with QA representatives from both Sony and Insomniac. We will continue to support 60-player gameplay, focusing on our 'massive battles, greater intimacy' mantra."
