PS3

We went back to the Festival du Jeu Video today planning to record more footage of Resistance 2, and I'm happy to report that we got another nice video of the game showing the other playable level. The guy playing this time isn't as good as yesterday's, but it's still very watchable. There is as usual no sound to be heard, and you know already how much it pleases me.
Update: Second part is up.

Gonna be honest and say that I haven't played R1 campaign on my own, not even once.
On day one, I kept playing it co-op with my sister so it was very fun...although I wish I could have the entire screen :P

But yeah 8 player co-op on a seperated campaign story seems to be very good, and different classes.

But hey, if we see eachother online playing R2, we can go co-op if you want.

One warning though, I don't have a headset. I am not much of a talker when playing online.
But I do know when my partner/team needs my help, I will give them what they need.

I personally don't see the appeal of either this or Gears of War 2. I won't be picking up either game, at least not this year.

Maybe the 8-player coop will be interesting, I dunno.

All I see here is a bunch of selective "mehs", but of course they disappear depending on whether the game is available for their system of choice.

Too much "Its ok when (X game) does it but not (Y game)"

I could say the same meh things about FC2, Left 4 Dead, and Gears but I won't since its not a sin when a game doesn't revolutionize the industry. R2 looks good and can stand shoulder to shoulder with any FPS this fall.

Damn, the internet is one hell of an annoying place.

You own a PS3? What's your PSN? I don't recall you saying you owned a PS3, and why are you talking down a PS3 game when you have no ability to play the game or intention to purchase the console?

You're just pretending to act like you're in the throws of making a decision on whether or not you would buy the game just to appear to be dissatisfied overall. That's disingenuous at best and actions befitting a lowlife the least.

Pixelsword...DC got a PS3 because he is on my PSN friends list.

:) Nice pwonage there Sath.

If someone is not feeling a game so what, everyone has games they like and dont like it dose not make them a fanboy, i have a wii/360 and ps3 and guess what there are games i dont like on all 3 platforms!, some of you guys have to grow up and and understand that someone not liking a game you like, dose not make them a fanboy.

Sure, I think the co op will be at least 'entertaining' enough for me to try.

I'm not much of a talker online either so that's a good thing. X)

Basically all those "mehs" account for mostly the people from the other group, a game like Resistance-2 hasn't properly been advertised yet, it has shown what it has but not properly been presented... There are no developer diaries yet nor any gears2-ish viddocs...

...The greatest thing is going to be the features, we all have seen how gears2 is coming up, mostly it will get a "meh" also as its not a real upgrade on gears1, whearas with Resistance-2 you have 8-player co-op and 60-player online in surplus to the single player, to support things, and all that hasn't thoroughly been shown yet. That is definitely going to be very long lasting...

Anyhow R2 is clearly getting all the praise from every place nowadays, its no longer a sepia-brown looking game anymore while gears2 hasn't improved in that department even now. Gears2 doesn't have such a big overhaul in online play and any other co-op mode etc. which is a shame since they had the same timeframe as Insomniac. Insomniac on the other hand are delivering such a playable package that all will be playing well into next year, and that is only the non-online mode I'm telling of...

True, but changing the colour-palette and the amount of online-players (in mp) does not improve a game invitably.

The first MP-video of Resistance2 I saw (on this site) was just stupidly hectic and looked pretty frustrating, because the spanws where arse-aching.

I hope they fixed that in the meantime...

Oh and needless to say that the game looks great.

Isn't it just man, isn't it... WOW, I just saw the 2nd video, c'mon I wasn't expecting to see that Colossus just yet, look at the scale man, it has brought me shaking dude.

There is absolutely no jaggies in sight, DAMN!, clarity-wise it just looked like "Bioshock in 1950's hanger" for a moment... absolutely crystal cut clean stuff, and the thrill is insane too, I'm sure single player's impact will be retained from the first one, and it does look like there is going to be one hell of a ride in SP, judging from the bosses...

Thanks Blim, absolutely stunning stuff !

The Zombie Chimeras look very Odd in the game, like they saw a movie with a totally diferent kind of enemy ( I Am Legend ), and decided to shove it down.
Makes the design consistency a little akward, but its for teh better... they look hell more fun to evade and kill, than those "omph" lacking standard Chimera that just spray fire.

I think it relates to the very core of the Chimera threat, you're definitely irritated by the species inconsistency, but I think it goes to the very level of the evolution of virus...remember that trailer where Chimera said that it was waiting just for a reunion with man for millions of years?... it goes right there...

... you see they totally look like they've taken over the planet, they are in all forms, small, big, overgrown, intelligent and dumb, consious and zombie-like... all forms are there. This definitely demands inconsistency like if you recall the comedy monster film "Evolution". So many varying forms of Chimera does give a full on feeling that they are very habitable and they totally fit into Earth's atmosphere. These are the Humanistic qualities, and that is actually the threat for mankind... they are more habitual to evolution than man alone.

Well then, that makes two of us then...not talking through online.
But we always have PM, even though it takes some time to type, but atleast the typing is fast on PS3 so its all good :)

Those fast Chimera-zombie like creatures reminds me of I Am Legend for sure, but the rest, not so much so it's good.

There are some new enemy types we haven't seen in game yet that is only in render, atleast they got one cool enemy down which is that predator in the forest, very nice.

Why did you pulled out your latest comments Plumb, would they mean that this site is supporting something on PS3's front?... and annoying for the 360 fanbase or something...
...(just thought to bring this over since Blim is mad at me with such a policy too!)

He's mad because of you being a Blind fanboy, and that's that. Stop acting like one in every single post, maybe things will change. :)

Back to resistance.

I didn't like the first one, i got bored very quickly and couldn't force myself to continue the game (after arriving at the gaz station, iirc that was 2 hours into the game).
The game was not immersing for me, sadly, i felt like i lost my money buying the game.

I seem to be in the minority, and that's okay, to each his own. But i will not buy the second opus without trying before (and not just the demo, because i bought the 1st one because i liked the demo).

Well Blim if you need anything else besides meh. How about this? I'm sick of first person shooters that don't allow you to do anything else besides shoot a floating gun in space. Halo and all of these games are starting to look like the same shit. So, meh. It's not like I've ever started any flame wars on your site and I never will. So what's up with the bullet time crap?

just watched the second vid which i've never seen before, and you can really tell they've vastly improved the texture work and lighting. as long as the single player campaign is lenghty enough i cant imagine the game being dissapointing...time will tell i guess.

I'm not fan of FPS games (dissapointed with many of them on this gen), but R2 looks really tasty. The big bosses are great and there is more gore than in the first one.
