I didn't like the first one and it's safe bet the second one is going to be pretty similar to the first: uninspired.

Thread meltdown in 3..., 2..., 1...


 

now now DMJ, there's no need for a meltdown. Twesterm has obviously just been watching completely different videos than us. Ones that make it look like no improvements were made. Perhaps he was just watching R1 videos by mistake, there are a million different explanations.

I haven't been watching any of the videos.  That's generally what comes with not caring about a game.

 

 

You cant criticise a game you know nothing about, did you even watch the E3 demo?

Oh yeah, 1st day for me

All I need to know is I hated the first one.  I'm sure it will improve on some of the things I didn't like, but I'm sure these things will still be present:

  1. Generic gameplay
  2. Generic art style
  3. I'm not a huge FPS fan so a run of the mill one sure isn't going to interest me
  4. I don't care about multiplayer so 60 person online doesn't do anything for me
  5. Cool idea (WWII meets aliens) but executed poorly

So yeah, while those first two I could be wrong, points 3 and 4 pretty much seal the deal for me.  I generally don't give a crap about FPS games unless they're some amazing game and then I'll at least try them. 

I did try Resistance when it first came out just because a friend had it and a PS3 and I wasn't in any way impressed.  It was buggy, the AI was pretty stupid, it just felt rushed, the story was blah, the enemies were boring, the combat wasn't anything special, and it just didn't do anything to set it apart from any other FPS. 

I'm sure Resistance 2 will fix those bugs and rushed feeling since it won't be a launch game but I'm assuming it's still going to have a lot of the problems I had with the first game there.  When you make a sequel you don't try to appeal to a new audience, you try to appeal to the people that already like the game.  So why would they change the weapons, combat, art, ect?

Day one.
Gonna be an expensive week as Bioshock comes out the same week.......



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

yes. it will be the best investment ever.



yes i'm gping to buy it, i dont have a PS3 but i buy it nontheless.

Then i put the bluray in my wii and look what happens



   

Improvements are caused by people who complain

Of course. It's the game i'm looking forward to playing the most this year. Insomniac is part of the reason why i'll be looking to buy at least one new game a month at full price. I hope it's just as great as the first one.

Though I do agree with you that the first iteration was uninspired, it wasn't a bad game by any means. It was just.... okay. From the looks of things though, Resistance 2 looks to be leaps and bounds above 1. You can just tell by how much stuff is going on at once that they have tried to work out some of the issues that some of us had with the generic design of the levels.

I hope the second one is better, and I think that I will be getting the game. Probably not on day one though, unless the beta really changes my mind.

 



Just kiss the tip.

I don't think the first game was actually bad either, in fact, it was a good launch game.  I firmly believe that the second one will make significant improvements but that still doesn't change the fact I likely won't like the second one.

Take Halo for example.  If I hated Halo or Halo 2, do you think I would like Halo 3?  Halo 3 is a good game that made improvements on the previous games but that still doesn't change the fact if I don't like Halo games I won't like Halo 3.



One of many games that I will be buying this holiday season.



count me in
