Spawns are terrible...
Looks like not much fun. Problem is, that your movement is too limited for a gameplay, where you have to shoot an enemy like 3 seconds to kill him... It just doesn't look right when you see realistic looking characters hopping around in order to avoid bullet#100.

Do it like Cod or like Halo. Don't mix em up...

I agree this lacks an identity.

They did WAY too much with the Chimera for them to ahve an identity. It's effectively ruined the series, and also the hop over the pond, has further damaged any identity it had.

It all Chimera had 4 glowing yellow eyes, it would be fine.

In this way, I have to admit, Killzone 2 is yet again, way up there as my most anticipated. It has a superb identity. Even if it's grey, ti has those beautiful purple lens flairs, and recognisable enemies. It's just a great iconographic indentity.

The only reason it won't do as well as Halo is becuase it won't contain the same shameless patriotism and the series didn't start after the fallout of 9/11. That's honestly what made Halo.

Hmmm, I definitely digg the direction they're taking for the SP campaign...but the MP doesn't look that great.

Killzone 2 MP does look like it could turn out great (*cautious optimism*), this...not so much. Will try out the beta before I definitely rule it out though.

Halo sold well all over the world though.. that had nothing to do with patiotism, or 9/11. American games are always going to be pro america regardless... i mean in resistance one you were an american saving the UK. Americans will always be the hero's..and trust me i wish it would be different as frankly i'm sick of playing as them..but then the alternative is only ever a posh british sterotype with a handle bar mistache. Maybe this is why gta4 was refreshing in its characters. It just took a british development team to bring it.

Halo sold well because believe it or not its a great game. The game play is there, its pick up and play..but theres also tactics to learn. The enemy AI is great (something killzone 2 is worrying me with), and for its time it looked great (the first two on the xbox). But not only that.. Halo has always been a technical marvel. Halo 1 brought us lan based multiplayer..a first for a console game. Halo 2 has online co-op throughout as well as online multiplayer. And Halo 3 was the first to bring us 4player co-op throughout the campaign. The ability to record EVERYTHING and share those recordings. Forge, the ability to set up your own levels. And it still looks good.

Then theres the story, which is actually quite deep, and a good reason for a film adaptation alone. Although i'll be the first to admit that it wasnt played out and arranged in the clearest fashion. But even though the structore of the story is alittle wonkey at times you also have to remember that before halo hit most games didnt focus on story.. there was pretty much only half life that had a working narration as you played. And Halo adopted this and stud out for it.

Lastly.. the reason why halo's so popular is because its constantly supported. I'm not paticularly a fanboy of the series to be honest, but i cant denie that Halo 3 is THE most supported game of this generation by its developers. No other developers invest so much in their games community, and i would say that as fact. Bungie are always placing events, double points weekends, game modes, and releasing maps.

So yeah.. to say Halo's success is just down to a pro america feeling is silly.

is there any more e3 clips still to come?

I know i know, I agree with you.
But it's funny how you used the "fact" against him :P

That looked really solid , true RfoM style. You do realize ppl that the game it self shapes up visualy in last couple of months ( in Insomniac case ).
Plus this is off screen video , so quality sufers. But there is the same problem like in first RfoM , the crosshare in ironsights mode, that is just wrong, didn't liked it in the first game and it transitioned in to second one.

Calm down, you obviously felt left out in the cold...so you needed to get some spotlight.

As for the whole Aliens in WW2, figure of speech i didn't claim it as fact, but just the overall concept, being they are aliens/creatures attacking man kind in that type of AGED era. SIMPLE!

don't nip pick to try and put me down, its silly.

Looks like nothing special.. Not impressed..

"It stuck in single player?" You mean you have a problem with it because it didn't make multiplayer? NOTHING but the Spartans made it to the multiplayer, no Arbiter, no Flood, no Brutes, nothing, so that comment is not a very potent arguement.

And YES everyone, Resistance had the bubble shield first, Halo copied the concept... the end; R2 just mixed the human Backlash grenade with the Chimeran portable shield...


...and for those saying Resistance 2 has no identity, consider How the Halo franchise ripped-off just about every Sci-fi plot known...

... First, in making Halo, Bungie rips off the soldier design of Doom and/or Quake, then give them a "last of the breed" legacy like the jedi; easy enough. Now steal the Space Marines from Aliens (especially "sarge") and heck, then steal the aliens themselves; but put the predator's mouth (and wristblade, armor, honor system) on their bodies. "Borrow" the Ringworld/Dyson sphere concept and steal the Dominion concept from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, then call it the Covenant. Put them all together in a clunky "forgotten civilization" scenario because you know, that's never been done before (er, hum, Mission to Mars, Contact, Stargate, 2001/2010, ect) and you have Halo. Steal Quake 3's/Unreal's multiplayer, and you have Halo's Multiplayer. Easy as Pie. Actually, I'm shocked that there's not a line outside of Microsoft from Bungie ripping off so many sci-fi stories.

So anyways, the hate is understandable, because just about everyone knows graphically, Gears 2 is pretty much going to be the best the 360's going to get this gen. Nice, but still over far too early... unless Microsoft makes some Miracle download (since they're a software company, this seems likely).

Heck, I remember how when the Halo 3 commercials came out, everyone was saying that the game was going to look like the CG... only to come out a SD game... So for all of the hype people try to shove down each other's throats, the truth remains that graphically Halo 3 wasn't much better than 2. The gameplay is slow compared to many games this gen, especially against the very fast Resistance 1. The only game that I know of that moves slower than Halo 3 is Lost Planet and MGO, but you're supposed to move slow in both of those, at least.

and I do think that's why all of the graphically spectacular games that were supposed to come out on the 360 were delayed... like Alan Wake and Splinter Cell; it's because they're trying to get very high quality graphics with size, and it's not working from what the 360 can do.

My reasoning is that if the 360 is supposed to be the easier of the two big consoles to program, then why are games getting delayed? It can't be because of the difficulty of programming, that's for the PS3; it can't be because of the DVD, Microsoft said one was enough, plus if it wasn't, you can always put it on more than one DVD. It's got to be something about hitting the limits of the 360 in some way...

eehm a littel offtopic quoastion about rescistance 1.
ive played the demo and dident liked the way it shooting mecaniks work.
is the demo of resitance a good resemblens of the full game?

I guess so, I never played the demo... what about the mechanics didn't you like about it?

wel the shooting felt very acword...eeehm dont know how to explain it but for me it felt like playing perfict dark zero.

I never played that game either... Hmm... All I can say about it is that as far as the gameplay mechanics go I don't see The actual game Resistance being anything odd... Maybe I should put the game in and see if I can find anything odd that I might have merely gotten used to.

looks fun and much better then resistance 1
