Resistance 2 revealed

[Rman]

Stolen for GAF

60 players online 
8 player co-op
Fall 2008 release (2008 is looking to be banner year for PS3)

Sorry, this thread sucks.  It's a rainy day here in NYC and I'm feeling very lazy.

[Eric P]

that's kind of neat

8 Coop mode sounds like GRAW (which had 16), in other words, extra coop missions.

[Rman]

I still got to pick up the original game.  I enjoyed the demo but I've been waiting for a price drop.

I hope the graphic engine is significantly improved.  It was kinda overshadowed by Gears.

[hyp]

that gaf thread must be a mess.

sounds like some great features, i'll definitely check this out when it's released.

Ya, I didn't want to go through pages of pages of fanboy bickering.

"Halo Killer confirmed"

"That about raps it up for Halo"

[Rman]

Demi, I browsed through the GAF thread and the op, which Wollan edited, and the statements still stand.  What's fake?  The whole announcement or some details?

[demi]

Big ol fakeroonie

[bud]

Big ol fakeroonie

apparently there are scans.

somebody post the scans plz

[Eel O'Brian]

i still haven't finished the first one

every time i try i get underwhelmed to the point of turning it off

[y2kev]

need scans

Sounds like ridiculously awesome.

[Rman]

Lyte Edge, MAF, can GI scans be posted on this forum?

[demi]

Obviously if they exist - which they don't - fakerrrrrroonie

[bud]

Lyte Edge, MAF, can GI scans be posted on this forum?

yes.

[bud]

EDIT 13: Aiming to deliver mobile-phone-quality sound.

wtf

[MrAngryFace]

Resistance 2 cant be the halo killer, killzone still gets a second stab at killing halo!

[hyp]

the 8 player co-op sounds ace.  i could care less about the 60 players online.  unless the maps are the size of africa, i don't see how that would be fun.   without lag is another concern.

[y2kev]

Does Halo really need killing anymore?

thank jesus

[MCD]

[Mupepe]

So everyone who owns a PS3 can play this game at once?  Awesome.

[Mupepe]

those screens look like sex

[MrAngryFace]

oh burn

[y2kev]

Holy shit! Wow!

[hyp]

i likey.  now we just need a confirmation of the the online features.

[Rman]

Insomiac is a beast of a developer.

Thanks for the scans, McDragon.

[bud]

that looks nice. hyp, jstevenson kinda confirmed it in the gaf thread. he said something like ''finally'' or something

[trh]

[hyp]

[Mupepe]

It looks like it has all the gorgeous geometry that was present in the last half of the first game.

The Blu-ray is more of Sony megaton than a PS3 one.

Megaton my ass.  Resistance 1 was nothing more than a 2nd tier FPS.  Unless the sequel is much better, who gives a fuck about the features?  Features can't turn a mediocre game into a great one.  The enemies do look much better though.  Hopefully, this time Insomniac will do more than emulate other more successful games.

welcome back smooth!

[Smooth Groove]

Knowing Insomniac, Resistance 2 will play almost exactly like the first one.  Insomniac doesn't seem to be able to do much more than pretty up their sequels.  Insomniac should just stick to the platforming genre where the weaker competition won't expose them as easily.  

[evilol]

jesus christ the sony fanboys are bathing themselves in each other's jizz at gaf. personally i'm kinda meh. fps is not really my thing i guess

What were your gripes with the original?

let me guess.. you think the stronger competition in the fps genre is halo? 

that is why you fail

It's just very average compared to all the shooters I've played on PC and consoles.  I don't see how Resistance can do much for anyone other than FPS noobs.

resistance sucks and halo is awesome

rsx budget gpu 

[Smooth Groove]

consoles=budget PCs 

Playing COD4 on a 8800GTX SLI setup reminds me of how much consoles suck in comparison to PCs. 

[y2kev]

playing cod4 reminds me how bad cod4 is lol

[LJ11]

playing cod4 reminds me how bad cod4 is lol

 

Almost LP bad. 

Multi is pretty great though.

[Smooth Groove]

I don't really get the hate for COD4's SP.  It's not amazing but it's at least a 7 to 8.   I'm playing on Veteran and so far I haven't had much trouble with spawning enemies, etc.  The TV station only took me 2-3 reloads to beat it.  Maybe it's because I'm playing with KB/M instead of a gamepad.  I'm about halfway through and so far the only mission that really sucks is the one where you control the satellite weapon.

It's the checkpoints that cut off the spawning enemies that killed the single player campaign for me.  After playing The Bog I shut if off.  I was trying to play tactical and flank, but it doesn't work.  What works is running to the invisible checkpoint, and that isn't fun.  I would rather clear out a given set piece and move on, but that's my take on it.

[y2kev]

It's bad. Period. The game has that spawning shit that encourages you to rush forward into combat to trigger arbitrary checkpoints, AI that doesn't do anything, grenade spamming, useless friendly AI, shit level design, weapons that you can't really tell apart, repetitive campaign structure (night -> day level transitions are lazy)...it's just garbage. It's unfair.

The difficulty doesn't scale fairly. Halo's Legendary is easier than COD4 on normal, imo.

Multi removes all these problems and leaves you with satisfying gunplay and the interesting perks system. The single player is an abortion that looks especially bad after Half Life 2: Episode 2 and Halo 3.

[AdmiralViscen]

Two campaigns? Sweet.

calcifer is a fucking distinguished mentally-challenged fellow.

[TVC15]

Fuck shitty FPSes. . .give me the scans for the game on the cover that matters:  Lego Indiana Jones.

Also, COD4 is bare minimum an 8.  It is an intense fucking game.  Anyone that tries to float anything resembling "it's bad" is full of some sort of bullshit or jadedness or whatever; at least enough that I'd question the validity of their opinions in the future.
