Forums - Gaming - Resistance2 vs GeOW2

I am not expecting resistance to be a new Haze, but i believe it will not offer something revolutionary to the FPS as Call of Duty series does year after year...

Gears 2 wont have Halo numbers, it's just too bloody.

So it should outsell it but not by much.




I expect GOW2 to sel about 7 million maybe 8 million copies. Resistance 2 I expect 3 million.

I think, for me, Resistance 2 will be a better online experience. They way they are doing the 60 man online is revolutionary. I don't think it's ever been done before.

To give a quick one line explanation, Think of two computer controlled players playing C&C, and you being the units they direct.

There isn't much that's revolutionary about Resistance 2's multiplayer.  It's essentially just playing "mine's bigger than yours" with CoD with regard to how many people can be on a battlefield simultaneously.  People can claim 'launch game' to try and assume there will be an automatic jump from the good Resistance 1 into AAA territory for Resistance 2, but wasn't Halo a launch title?

Are there any decent examples of a launch title score mid-eighties and then the next title become a revolutionary AAA game?  I think what they are doing with 8-person online co-op will be more impressive, assuming they are capable of properly scaling difficulties and dealing with lag.

In any case, broad community and critical opinion pegged Gears multiplayer (and single-player) as being better, and Epic will only improve on it, so Resistance 2 has a lot of catching up to do.

Graphically speaking we haven't seen much of either title.  Gears 2's single-player looks like a minor step up graphically but a huge step up in terms of things going on and scale.  Resistance's 2's multiplayer looked very graphically unimpressive.

I reckon graphically speaking:

Single player: Gears 2< Resitance 2

Multiplayer: Gears 2 > Resistance 2.

Gameplay:

Gears 2 > Resistance 2.

@Starcraft For the first resistance, insomniac recieved dev-kits in january, 9 months before launch. With more time, as they have proven again and again they can make an AAA game

Er, link?

And you will find if you look at the statistics that Insomniac don't have any AAA shooters on the market.  Ever.

Resistance 2 will sell better. But this will be because it will have better legs.

The origional Resistance did not sell masses in its opening week but has had consistant sales. i think Resistance 2 will have a big opening week and have consistant sales also.

So what are you all predicting for GeOW2 opening week and lifetime sales then




Uh... Resistance had consistant sales because it was bundled.


It was bundled for three months in the UK. At most that can account for 150,000 units in sales. I'm seriously sick of hearing that.


It was not only bundled in the UK, it was bundled everywhere in Europe (Starter Pack).

GeoW2 is a better quality and better selling game. But @ starcaft Resistance 1 and R2 were and will be AAA shooters I don't get what an avarage score sais.

You may not care, but impartiallity does.  Resistance was NOT AAA from a quality standpoint (though due to its launch and bundle-assisted status, you could argue it's sales were AAA) and with Resistance 2 we will wait and see.
