Heh.

The game actually reminds me a lot of Perfect Dark in the way that it plays in general (that's a good thing).

As for weapons...

Yeah, the Auger had me seeing flashbacks to the glory days of head shots through walls with the Farsight. The Bullseye is definitely fun, given that shooting around corners is always cool. The weapons are fairly diverse, which is nice, and switching between what is essentially a rail gun and a shotgun in the middle of a fight is always cool. Running over Chimera in the driving sections is also strangely amusing...

I like Resistance: Fall of man a lot as well.

Although I agree, I think it's suiting for a prequel to the main battle in the United States (story is being told in past tense). IMO the story is interesting and told well, the black and white photographs illustrating the story line provides a past tense atmosphere, then in Resistance 2 the current story will be told with present story telling methods from Hale's own perspective.

If interested in Resistance 2, I would recommend experiencing the background story through Resistance: Fall of Man. The game will probably be available at discount pricing anyhow.

Yeah, too bad they nerfed the Auger in multiplayer...I guess they had to though, or it would be too good. It's all about the RPG and the Shotgun in multiplayer.

Is the online still going strong? I tried to play it a few months ago and got owned.

Yet another Aussie Resistance fan (PSN ID: carnUcrows). Thrilled to hear they're changing the storytelling style, it took me months to convince my wife the game was actually fun, because the cutscenes put her to sleep! Personally, my favourite gun is the slo-mo sniper rifle. It's hilarious in split-screen co-op when you're up to your neck in aliens and your partner suddenly slows everything down :)

Watching those Gray Jacks (or whatever they're called) running at you and getting blown away with the slow motion sniper rifle is pretty cool.

Online is still strong. Most people will get owned. I only just started winning matches here and there but their are still some people with amazing skill who can just win one match after the other.


I'm anxious for R2 as well. I just wish RFOM was priced at $30 everywhere so the cheap gamers can buy the game.

SpartanFX said: dude I just got resistance from my friend yesterday aswelll,,,,,the graphics as you said are nowhere near MGS4 or uncharted or heavenly sword but it's good looking game for a launch title,,,,,, the game play is fun( i m playing it with my bro split screen)and fast,,,,,the controls are really easy to pick up. all in all I am also impressed with the game and will be buying the second one on day 1.

 

wait till you reach near the end, in the chimera bases. grafix are and look stunning, very solid and very smooth.

resistance 2 is a day one purchase for me...............

• huge single player campain just like resistance 1 (20 hour), not a shitty 6 hour job that you find in "others"
• 8 player co-op - a 1st for consoles
• plethora of online modes - this mode will rock
• 60 player team battles - never attempted before and a 1st for consoles

i used to play 40 player resistance 1 sniper only death matches without any lag, so im sure they can rank it to 60.

resistance 1 if released 2day would have got a 9, only scepticle launch reviewrs and the obvious fanboy reviews kep this game score down. especially eurotoilet they gave it a 6

What Resistance:FoM did well was have active environments with lots of stuff happening on the screen at the same time. It really helps immerse you into the game. In some ways, I find that more important then raw graphical appeal. (i'm looking at you Gears of War)

LG[Infinite] said: Being a new PS3 owner, I've been playing a lot of MGS4. However, this time of the year is sale time in Australia and so I trundled down to my local store to check out what deals they had. I saw Resistance going for very cheap and decided to pick it up...   Given that it was a launch title, I didn't have such high hopes for it, but so far I have been very impressed. The game plays smoothly and the graphics, while nowhere near MGS4 standard are excellent for a launch title. More importantly, I don't need to think about the controls while I'm playing, which says a lot about how great they are. Heck, I spent most of last night either watching Federer vs Nadal (damn it... Federer lost) or playing Resistance during the rain delays.   I can't wait for Resistance 2...

And what a match it was. I was disapointed Federer lost as well, but it had to have been the best match I've ever seen. Cannot wait for the US open.

OT: I thought Resistance was great. Loved the Co-op. I'd give it a try if you have someone to play through it with you.
