Resistance 2

This game shouldn't be restrained by the PS3 thread, as it's sounding amazing.

• Sorry, Rachel; the campaign will pick up from Fall of Man's epilogue and stick solely with Nathan Hale as he copes with getting shot down in Iceland, escaping to the states and joining the "Sentinels" program.
• There will be classes. Characters will start out from one of three basic templates -- a "tank-style" soldier rocking a chain gun, a "Special Ops class" that seems like a sniper or a medic whose "Medicator" gun will hurt enemies and heal allies -- and go from there.
• When you and a team of friends head into battle, there will not be a selectable difficulty. Insomniac will be auto-scaling the challenge to the skill of you and your squad. When you jump into a random online match, you'll be teamed with partners and opponents who are around your personal level.
• "Personal" is going to be a big word in Resistance 2. The game will have dedicated servers for gaming, community and stats as well as gamer profile pages on myresistance.net. In-game, the setup will be completely open when it comes to clans and parties -- the era of invites has come to a close.
• Vehicles are in the game, but Insomniac wouldn't let on about their role.
• The game's set in the '50s, but expect a more modern U.S. landscape as well as a focus on the aerial side of the Chimeran attack.
• The game's AI has been overhauled -- they have improved routines and detachable armor pieces -- and boss battles will be more important than ever.

It does sound really good. I have yet to play the first one, although the demo isn't too bad. I am definitely looking forward to it.

What sounds so "amazing" about this? It's Insomniac. I expect it will be as vapid as everything else they've ever done.

Less future weapons, I hate that shit.

Vapid? Come on man, give me a break - you play cartoon story games made for Japanese children.

I wouldn't argue that Resistance was the pinnacle of the FPS genre, but it was still a damn good game, and one I felt motivated to play through more than once. Great scenario, and some really cool weapons. The two features Yoshi put in the subtitle for this thread are epic by themselves, put into a game that was already really good despite being shoved out the door for launch on unfamiliar hardware there's real reason to be excited.

this sounds like it's really trying to ape Killzone 2. looks great so far as well.

I think this just knocked Killzone off the map :lol: Seriously, bring that out next year or something. It'll be tough to get out of Resistance's shadow now unless they're released like 4-6 months apart.

I really love the idea behind resistence, Aliens+WW2. There is no part of that equasion I don't like. But there is something about the single player that didn't click with me. I hope they do away with life bar and replace it with the gears/COD/R6 health system that most FPS have now.

The first resistance wasn't mind blowing, and this has something to prove, but it sounds pretty good right now.

There's also something to be said for Insomniacs track record of making seuals better than the originals.

Actually, that was one thing I really liked about it. The idea that you could self-restore your health but got progressively weaker worked better for me than "bullets? They just sting!" Wolverine health. I read that they're going to change the health system in the next game, but I'm hoping they do keep that aspect of it.

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.

Game sounds awesome but 60 players online? Thats just too many. You dont really feel like your worth anything to the team with that many people. Still looks great.

From what I've read, you're only in direct contact with your own squad. Each squad is given different objectives across the map. The idea is to have multiple conflict points throughout a map, with an average of about 6(?) people from each side in a given area at one time.

In other words, I don't think you're going to see very many 30 v 30 firefights. Sounds interesting.

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.

Sounds like a man whos never played any PC Battlefields. I dont get why 60 players sounds like such a new concept - especially on the GAF boards at the moment. 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.

You mean, unless they actually know what they're doing. Personally I'm not a fan of larger-scale FPS multiplayer because of what SamuraiMoogle said, but I can see the appeal.

Yeah, 60 player multiplayer doesn't interest me very much. Though the 8 player co-op on the other hand seems really fucking awesome. The more the merrier as far as co-op goes, so long as the co-op campaign is designed around the idea that there will be 8 people playing at once.

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.

they did 20v20 awesomely, i am ready to see what they can do with 30v30, and all these squad class systems theyre trying to do.

Also, absolutely everything about London was epic, not just the last battle. The shootout at the church with the hundreds of crawlers. The first battle with a Titan 1 on 1. First fight with a Stalker. On top of that the first Widowmaker Fight, and the bridge in london where you fight 2 Stalkers then a widowmaker without so much as moving to another building.

There was a lot of memorable stuff in them. Plus the story behind the story with all of the intel, the Cloven, and the black ops.

I am crazy excited for this one.

The fact that I didn't remember about those parts until you just mentioned them further proves to me that they weren't memorable in the least.

Let's not front --There hasn't been a Ratchet and Clank game that's not great. (not counting mobile)

LOL. When I first saw this, I thought this was Killzone 2.

The features the game offers sounds interesting. I'm curious to see how this pans out, especially the 8-player co-op campaign.

I rented Resistence 1 and I'm kinda with Brand X on this. I was left unimpressed. I never even played 25% of it. I should give it another try.

The firefights just didn't seem to do anything for me. The enemies seemed to take too many bullets and the new guns you got along the way never seemed to pack any more punch.

This premise of this game and the demise of HD DVD have finally got me headed towards the purchase of a PS3. Now I just need an offer I can't refuse.

Eight-player online co-op is hot. Four-player co-op on one TV would also be hot, so here's hoping.

As for 60-player versus, nothing seems too big after my days with Planetside, they need to try and recreate that in one of these shooters instead. Rolling with a party of about 80 people all in tanks, hoverjets, jeeps and shit assaulting bases that have 100+ people inside... those were awesome times.

But regular stuff with 60 people is cool too. Hopefully the rest of it will be good enough to convince me to fire up that portion this time around. And who's Rachel? Was she the narrator?

I still don't. What's a Widowmaker? Are those the Matrix Sentinel things or one of those bigger spider tanks? I think there were bigger spider tanks. I know they talked about them and had them in a picture during a cutscene, but I don't remember if they ever took part in the game.

Last fall's fps blitz will probably leave it looking pretty dated, but the first 25% of the game is really bland, it gets a lot more interesting later on.

That's definitely not true, you get some really interesting weapons along the way (I loved the hailstorm). That said, I did stick with the human weapons for much of the game although the bullseye & auger are pretty much mandatory for the situations where you're grossly outnumbered.

The GI article said "2 player local" so I don't think that's happening.

The Bullseye (if that's the one w/ the homing tracking beacon) is what I used nearly 95% of the game. It pretty much wrecked anyone a second or 2 once you got that beacon on someone. Plus you didn't even need to come out of cover to kill anyone.

Only on normal. On higher difficulties the enemies shake the tags.

I never noticed but I used the standard br a lot more on the higher difficulties, sniper(anything slowmo is good in my book) and auger were my fave weapons.

I played through on Hard and never had that issue. I haven't tried on Superhuman (I believe that's what the hardest is called), so that may not be the case on that difficulty level.

looks like we are fighting Goliaths in this one, over 100 feet tall.

http://ruliweb2.empas.com/ruliboard/...e_ps04&main=ps

So consoles are finally catching up to Battlefield 1942 (released in 2002) in terms of multiplayer features? 'Bout time, I say.

Too bad the core game sucked ass in Resistance 1.

Enough with the giant crab/spider-like robot bosses.

That 8-player co-op is an objective-based campaign separate from the single-player story campaign. That doesn't sound epic. That sounds like G.R.A.W.'s co-op all over again. In other words, good-but-not-great.

the hailstorm is an amazing weapon, its a goddamn shame you only get 15 bullets per level for it. The bulls-eye was really refreshing too.

I thought Resistance 1 was a cheezy knock off of Half Life 2, with the weird guns, and how the enemies were almost carbon copies. I liked the concept of the story but what I just said before that took me out of it when I played it at my Bros house. If Resistance 2 makes it less bland, than this should be a game for me to pick up when I get a PS3, I'm waiting for the next price drop which should come soon enough.

same shots weve seen only clean and slightly bulled.

Compass is right. Insomniac are super talented when it comes to pretty much everything except making a game that isn't bland as hell.

inteview with ted price on R2

http://www.gametap.com/home/read/article/3706

also people saying Resistance was bland didnt see the game all the way to the end

GameTap: After it was released, it seemed like the online aspect of Resistance became instantly popular. Is that the reason why so much attention is being paid to the online aspects of Resistance 2, or does it have to do more with a general trend in gaming?

Ted Price: I think it's both. With Resistance: Fall of Man, we put a lot of effort into creating a multiplayer game that set new standards in terms of numbers of players, non-existent lag, customization of game types and unique online modes. I don't think that any FPS at the time featured 40 online players at once--which made the lag-free nature of the game really stand out. And since Resistance 2 is upping the ante with 60-player online competitive modes, eight-player online co-op--which are two features no other FPS offers--plus lots more to be announced soon, it's generating a lot of positive talk.

But FPS players really do flock to online these days. One reason would be the pick-up-and-play nature of most multiplayer modes. However, I think online multiplayer's increasing popularity has a lot more to do with community. Competitive online modes in shooters are a great place for people to connect and share a common passion. And most first-person shooters encourage this form of community through features such as clans, friends lists, parties, and external websites--all of which and more we provided with Resistance. As a note, our Resistance website, www.myresistance.net, has continued to grow by leaps and bounds since the release of the first game. We attribute this to a devoted legion of Resistance fans who continue to play online.

GameTap: In recent weeks, we've seen games like Call of Duty 4 overtake Halo 3 in terms of popularity of online play. Do you see what those developers are doing and adjust your approach accordingly, or was there already set plan in mind for Resistance 2's online multiplayer matches?

Ted Price: We had already begun designing Resistance 2 multiplayer almost a year before Call of Duty 4 was released. That's not to say we're ignoring what's popular in online play. We get out there and play the competition. We pay attention to what players are saying on the boards. Either what we see makes us confident that we've chosen to do the right things with our design, or we have a chance to change things up if we think players' tastes are evolving.

GameTap: Cooperative team play seems to be getting more and more popular lately with games like Halo 3 and Team Fortress 2. In your mind, what makes cooperative play not only successful, but something that people will want to play over and over again in Resistance 2?

Ted Price: I think we all feel that co-op is most fun when you get to try out different tactics with friends. Our co-op mode is designed to encourage experimentation. With three different classes, tons of different enemy types to fight, hugely varied gameplay setups, and some fairly open levels, no encounter will play out the same way twice. Just changing the group makeup will create a huge difference in the way the game plays. For example, playing with six medics and two special ops guys is a lot different than playing with two soldiers, three medics and three special ops dudes. And there are other things we plan to do to keep the co-op experience fresh each time you play. But we're not revealing them yet.

see posts above. Majority of the shots in the mag scans are in-game.

I wanna see this in motion though, hurry up with the videos insominac!

Okay, the pics look decent. Definitely some videos. Maybe R1 will be $30 soon.

it was $40 last week :x

Still too much for a 1+ year old game. Plus that was a sale, not a price drop. With my pile of shame, I am not picking it up until I can find it for under $30.

Stupid imo, I can see why it would be a good idea not to have every weapon in the game available but only two? Didn't look that hot but I have high hopes none the less.

That GTTV footage looked really good. I'll have to pick up part 1 soon so I can beat it before 2 comes out. Can part 1 be found fairly cheap these days?

Agreed. The first Resistance wasn't the type of game that would have seemed to benefit t just having 2 guns. But I'm going to hold off judgment until I actually get to play it.

Awful.

Really? That kind of restriction seems like it could actually make the game better.

So here's a first look at the game's multiplayer.

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/35175.html

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I wasn't really impressed with what I saw.

Agreed completely. Though I thought Resistance's multiplayer was all around mediocre. I have a feeling the second games multiplayer is going to live and die with the execution of the 60 player battles since the game was never a super deep and strategic FPS. We will see, I gave the first game a fair chance and despite a ton of flaws, I ended up enjoying the SP mode a whole lot. Hopefully this one will be the same without the flaws and a deeper MP experience.

Im excited to see what the advantages and disadvantages of the races are going to be this time (they arent implemented in the version they showed to the media). 30v30 is going to be nuts, so hopefully the class system and objective skirmishes will take it beyond just mindless shooting, and more of people working together depending on their job.

With the SP in 1 i am not worried about the SP in this one, and am excited to how deep and how team work focused the 8player co-op campaign is going to be like.

lol. Take it beyond mindless shooting? What do you think 30 v 30 means?

I loved the first Resistance and part 2 will complete the quartet of big name 2008 releases for me (NG2, MGS4, GoW2, R2). From what I've seen so far of R2, I am not fearing disappointment.

new trailer

So far I haven't been impressed at all, it looks just like the first game. A perfectly servicable if unremarkable shooter. Nothings changed, I don't see any substantial changes or improvements to multi at all. Looks just like one big cluster fuck, I thought insomniac could bring some new ideas to the genre, but that hasn't been the case at all. If anything Resistence felt like a FPS from ten years ago, looks like 2 will be too.

the multi was apparently slowered down, and ive still yet to see what these squad/small based skirmishes were all about, and im waiting for the revised advantages/disadvantages to the races.

What im really excited for is the 8coop with the class system. If they take care with it, it could be potentially awesome, i love games where one needs to think and work together rather then run and shoot everything that moves.

If I knew 7 people with this game and a ps3 I would agree, but I just can't see getting 8 people together to do this.

.... we still easily get the full 20 party crew in multi, 8 will be nothing. With the friendlist expanded and more of TNL getting PS3s, there will be more people to play with (and you dont needto just play with TNL people you know)

You're being dumb. You need to think and work together if you want to win in any team-based shooter; I'd say that it's especially important in Halo games.

And don't try and lie and say having a class system will force people to work together if they don't want to anyway, if you're playing with randoms nothing will change.

btn

i didnt say it would force them to, i just like playing that better.

In halo whenever i played it was all deathmatch (with tnl as well mind you), and most of the time i just heard "fag" "fuck you" and "bitch," no real teamwork chatter.

That comes with almost every fps it seems, but i just got more then an earful of it with halo.

You never played with good players. But with random players yeah the Halo community is one of the worst. Team Fortress 2 is really good from my experience, probably just because it's so much smaller.

You only going to get teamwork if you play regularly with the same group.

on 360 or pc? I have pc TF2 and i cant get my headsets to work right. (which can be anything from steam being wierd, vista being stupid, and bootcamp not getting all the mac hardware working right (macbook pro))

And i was playing with opaque and chux and kev and sinista and others.

I'd say both, since I've played both. I mean I obviously can't speak for everyone playing the game on every server and all, but just in general people aren't jackasses. Most are really nice actually.

I also disagree with Praxis, in my experience if you're playing with good players you're always going to be talking and working together. Well, not so much in TF2 pubs maybe since they're just huge 16v16 games and such, but in decent-ranked Halo 3 games yeah.

Quote:

(and you dont needto just play with TNL people you know)

I do if I want to enjoy myself.

Maybe good players aren't that easy to find.... All the games I have played over XBL (COD4, TF2, H3, etc) no one ever talks. I am just as guilty as the next person for that, but I am barely hanging on as it is.... Gears is cool, you pretty much will die without teamwork.

No kidding, randoms are lame no matter what the game. I'll be getting this for the campaign for sure..but MP? Doubtful. Gears two

The random COD4 experience is pretty shitty. In my opinion that game was incredibly boring from day 1 since it's just so incredibly easy to get kills, but it was tons of fun playing with my full group of friends all the time. I don't expect there to be any communication in random games there since the community is going to be full of jackasses, and the game is so easy at the public game level.

news is coming out of resistance 2 and resistance: retribution connectivity.

Connecting R:R to a PS3, causes your PSP to get infected, which gives R:R an alternate storyline and gameplay changes, and by completing the infected stages, you win things in R2.

On the other side, connecting your PSP to your PS3 with R2 and R:R enables PSP Plus, which allows you to play R:R on your TV via your PSP (slim or 300 series), AND use a dualshock 3 to play the game, and the game is rumble ready.

Id very much love to see this PSP Plus stuff extended to other games.

That's pretty awesome.

Anyone get into the beta? I have been playing it and the 8 player co-op is decent.

I got in and played it for a bit. It controls pretty well. Its nice to earn XP just for shooting someone and not even killing them. Other than that its pretty meh. Graphics dont look that hot, kinda fuzzy. Runs smooth though. The 60 player battles are just too damn big. You dont feel like a part of the team and really contributing to anything. The big battles just arent my thing I guess. Tried co-op a bit also and its more eh. I'll play some more this weekend and see if my opinion changes. If anyone else has this let me know and I'll try to get on.

My biggest complaint about the co-op is the fact that sometimes you can spend minutes just shooting at one enemy. I can even play with one hand at times because you are just sitting there shooting at it.

so far an hour into single player, AWESOME!

It blows the first one out of the water, this game is polished to near perfection. Controls and gameplay A+.

i also created the TNL clan, "TNL" and our tag is "RF"

nice, I'm playing it now, but am not online.

I should be getting this in the mail tomorrow. The first Resistance is one of my favorite games this gen...so hopefully I can get into the online play for this second game :)

This game is awesome. I may actually beat this even before Gears 2 is released and I rarely beat games nowadays. The environments are awesome, no longer dominated by drab and gray like in the first game. The graphics are incredible. Insomniac changed the health system from the first game, making it a bit easier in that regard, but that's about the only bad thing I can say about this game (aside from some graphical glitches which seem to be the norm nowadays). This game is markedly better than the first.

i JUST realized they changed the life system, im so used to every game doing the same life system, i totally forgot R1 had the life system of old, with a meter.

About to start playing again, this game is radddd

I feel like Dutch when I'm fighting those Chameleons

I just completed the Single Player campaign, and it was officially awesome from start to finish. I agree with Gooch as well. The environments in this game were all top notch, and a vast improvement over the gray and brown World War II setting of the first game.

My only real complaint is that the single player was rather short. I seem to remember the first Resistance being a much longer game....maybe this game was just so much better that the time flew by faster :)

I really need to try out the online multiplayer now. Hopefully I'll be able to play some of you online.

I've got this rented and would like to give the co-op multi a go before I return it next thursday.

Yorick_ is the PSN name.

Is anybody having trouble downloading the update for this game. Everytime I try to go online, it says I need to update the Resistance Software to the latest version. I try to update it, but the progess bar never goes past 1%. Is this a problem with my internet connection? Or have you guys had trouble too? This upsets me, because I loved the single player and I want to give online play a try.

EDIT - I had no problems installing the latest PS3 update too. Its just the Resistance update that isn't doing anything.

Maybe try deleting the game file on your hd and installing again?
