One major thing they need to correct from the original is keyboard and mouse support. You could rig the original to do it with a PS2->PS3 adapter and a Total Control Frag, but that's entirely too much trouble.

I can see that, but and obviously it makes more sense. But still, not having to worry about finding health always makes me enjoy shooters more.Quote:

I play "cartoon story games made for Japanese children"?
Wtf does that even mean -- that I like J-RPGs? Um, okay, and this makes Insomniac's output any less forgettable... how?
Resistance is a terrific game, I think it's the best non-PC FPS this gen, and 2 sounds like it's going to be even better. I've been tempted to rent R&C Future to get a peek at new Insomniac weapons that may inspire something to be seen in Resistance 2 but I haven't gotten around to it.Quote:

What BF does, and im hearing Resistance 2 does, is break the team up into squads. The respawn system is totally changed as you all spawn on your squad leader - where ever he is on the map. You don't get individual credit - your entire squad does. Ever wonder why no one plays as a team in games like Halo? Well a squad system forces you to play as a team. Huge team battles are the best online FPSs IMO.Quote:

The one thing I ask is for Insomniac to bump up the intensity as far as what happens in the campaign. There were no memorable experiences for me in the first game (besides maybe the last level), and while the gameplay mechanics and production value were solid, that really soured the experience for me.
Uh, what?Quote:
