Insomniac's senior community manager James Stevenson has told Wesley Yin-Poole that while critics were happy with
Resistance 2, fans were not, and the criticism levelled by the latter felt like a "dog (that) bites your hand."
"
Resistance 2 got better
reviews than
Resistance 1. But the long term fan feedback from that game weighed on me.
"The hardcore fans of Resistance 1 were maybe a little bit disappointed. Those folks consistently expressing that - especially GAF [NeoGAF] - it was like your dog turned on you".
"That's the feeling of it. You had this dog that loved you. You loved the dog, too, but they expressed all this affection for you. And then suddenly the dog bites your hand and it's that feeling of, ooh, ow, that really hurts."
