Resistance: Fall of Man 2 - Coming July?
Plus: new Chimeran enemies?

Those crazy guys over at Insomniac Games have offered a hint of a tease that Resistance: Fall of Man 2 might be out as soon as July.
In a video titled 'Ballz - EXCLUSIVE RESISTANCE 2 EASTER EGGS' showing Insomniac's "own 'Jack Black'" (their words, not ours) you can see a monitor for all of a split second (dutifully pictured by SPOnG to the right) with the number 0708 displayed before an Insomniac staff member jumps on it.
It might be a red herring. It might relate to something else entirely - possibly a demo. Or, it might just be the release date for the upcoming shooter. 07/08 could be July 8th (Americans show dates as MM/DD rather than vice versa as we do), but it's unlikely, given that's a Tuesday. Alternatively, it could mean July 2008...
SPOnG has contacted Sony on the subject, but no comment was available at the time of press.
Another tidbit in there (once again on a hastily covered-up monitor) is the phrase "12 new Chimeran enemies". Have you spotted anything else in there? Let us know in the Forum.
Update: Thanks to Scott in the Forum, who informs us, "in America, new releases of pretty much everything (games, movies, music, etc) come out on Tuesdays, so the fact that July 8 is a Tuesday adds credibility to the idea that 0708 could represent the release date."

Actually, in America, new releases of pretty much everything (games, movies, music, etc) come out on Tuesdays, so the fact that July 8 is a Tuesday adds credibility to the idea that 0708 could represent the release date.

Hey Scott, thanks for that. I've run an update on the story and given you due credit.

That video reminded me mostly of the HSBC adverts!

Halifax, not HSBC, right?
It was terrible, but then, I think that was the idea.
The easter eggs were a bit obv - less easter egg and more egg in your face.
And SS4 - did you actually play RFoM?
