EIGHT-player co-op?!

[edit:  Well, since I'm at the top of the page I might as well make a real post out of this.  No, I'm not disappointed at all about 720p and 30fps as long as it's LOCKED at 30 and ACTUAL 720p.  1080p is nice but there are MANY MANY things that can be done to improve the visual experience at 720p (and I do expect it to be amazing) that are a much more effective use of the hardware.

lol, It's online co-op. Were you thinking local?

 



You do realize that they will have to downgrade so many things to make it 1080p @60fps. I could run 10 year old pc games at 1080p and 60fps, does that make them look better? No The game will probably look far better at 720p anyway, because they could put more in it. Wait until next gen for 1080P.There just isn't enough Ram in the consoles to support such high resolutions in a game that is already pushing the hardware. Wow some ps3 fans are picky about graphics.

No, but maybe I'm just behind the times.  I wasn't aware that other games let you have more than 2 people play the campaign mode together.

Also just in case you think I'm a resistance fanboy or something, the game looks grey and mediocre like the first Resistance. I wouldn't buy or play it any sooner than I would buy or play Killzone 2, or Gears of War 2. Meh.

+10 respect for your first post

-10 respect for the second one


If I'm breaking even that's how I know I made some good posts, lol.

You shouldn't disrespect me for my opinion on Resistance and Gears though, here's why.

I agree that fans of those games shouldn't care in the least that said games run at 720p instead of 1080p. Even next gen on a 32" TV, there will be no difference. With a "smaller" HDTV, there is no difference whatsoever(and trust me at 4 feet, a 32" TV is all you want, period).

However, I'm not a fan of resistance, so I could are less. I didn't like the first game and I didn't like Gears of War. You might not think that has a lot to do with Resistance, but I can tell you, if you love Resistance, you'll love Gears.

The mediocre comment, admittedly, was a lot blow. Resistance isn't mediocre to a shooting fan, it's good. However to me, it's a medoicre titles, because I'm not a fan of said genre which is FPS and Dark Grey realism. I think Bioshock is a billion times better than Resistance.

 

So, to be fair to you, I did hit resistance with a low blow and it didn't deserve it. Hey, this is the internet, I say things without thinking sometimes.

 

However, my point was valid and it should be inferred that fans of this game shouldn't take this little "haha" thread about the game as anything other than tech-boy laff type gibberish that means very little or nothing. It is excellent that these developers are sticking with quality over numberXnumber resolution, which nobody can really tell the difference from anyway.

The fact that I don't even care for this game should only serve to prove that my opinion is genuine, and not related to any bias generated towards this game, which fans of the game should find much more encouraging than they find my opinion that said game isn't my cup of tea, discouraging. 



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Halo 3's 4 player co-op says hi.

Haze says hi, too, but who cares?



I'm confused. Some of the PS3 owners posting on here saying resolution doesn't matter are the same people who have in the past claimed that the Wii is going to fail as more HDTVs are sold.



Disappointed? Yes.

Surprised? No.

The PS3 isn't nearly as powerful as Sony said it was.

It performs exactly as they said it would, otherwise they'd get sued. They never mentioned a real world performance, in quantifyable terms. Some people were misled and took the leap from theoretical to actual a bit too far.



Tease.
