excited for this one... if the first one was rushed for a launch title, think of this one w. all the new features from IGN

before skate and COD4, this was ALL i played... anyone up for 8 person campaign coop online?

# The game will feature the standard single-player campaign as well as an eight-player online co-op campaign that's objective-based. Two people can still work together locally.

# Ready to beat each other senseless online? Resistance 2 will feature 60-player matches set in the United States.

# Sorry, Rachel; the campaign will pick up from Fall of Man's epilogue and stick solely with Nathan Hale as he copes with getting shot down in Iceland, escaping to the states and joining the "Sentinels" program.

# There will be classes. Characters will start out from one of three basic templates -- a "tank-style" soldier rocking a chain gun, a "Special Ops class" that seems like a sniper or a medic whose "Medicator" gun will hurt enemies and heal allies -- and go from there.

# When you and a team of friends head into battle, there will not be a selectable difficulty. Insomniac will be auto-scaling the challenge to the skill of you and your squad. When you jump into a random online match, you'll be teamed with partners and opponents who are around your personal level.

# "Personal" is going to be a big word in Resistance 2. The game will have dedicated servers for gaming, community and stats as well as gamer profile pages on myresistance.net. In-game, the setup will be completely open when it comes to clans and parties -- the era of invites has come to a close.

# Vehicles are in the game, but Insomniac wouldn't let on about their role.

# The game's set in the '50s, but expect a more modern U.S. landscape as well as a focus on the aerial side of the Chimeran attack.

# The game's AI has been overhauled -- they have improved routines and detachable armor pieces -- and boss battles will be more important than ever.

Exciting, no? We'll have more info on Resistance 2 as it becomes available, but for the full scoop, check out Game Informer's February issue.

 

should be sweet. I really loved the first, although I played it so much I can't stand to even think about it anymore lol

 

1st one was intense this should be even better.

 

I loved the first one, very excited for the 2nd.... looks VERY promising.

9.5 "incredible"

 

Merged.

 

thanks bud

 

this is gonna be epic. cannot wait

 

yes it will be... gonna be dope..

 

Resistance 2 is going to be sick I'm getting this game. 60 players online

 

my psn id is FuriousGeorge83. Add me if you wanna play.

 

the beta sucked

 

i also can't decide whether I want R2 or COD5

 

why did the beta sukc

 

i say R2 cuz cod5 is bak in old days...

at least with r2 you have more futuristic feel

 

resistance 2, and COD5 on PC.

I played the COD beta today, actually pretty fun. its a lot like cod4 though

 

I always hate playing with that many people in a room. It usally has lag or perople spawn camp or team kill (if FF is on) or just do dumb shit. I much prefer the 16 player rooms. Shit I dont even like 32 player rooms.. but that's just my

 

get SOCOM instead of either one

 

so, R2 is in the future?

 

What, opposed to R1?

R1 takes place in a world where WW2 never took place. It's around the same time 1940-1950's.....first one is in Europe, 2nd one is a few years later in America. It's got old school weapons and at the same futuristic weapons, it's a very interesting blend.

 

Just picked it up today and played a little bit. The graphics are ok and they made some tweaks from the first one. all in all not too bad. Just gotta wait till tomorrow at midnight to pick up gears of war 2 now. and maybe cod 5. god all I play is fps. when is starcraft 2 comming!?!?!

still waiting!

 

Ive been playing...i'm not really impressed. Actually, i dont even really want to finish. Really let-down on this one...

 

Gears of war 2 comes out tomorrow? LOL I've been playing it on my roommate's xbox for a week now at least (he downloads games). It's pretty cool

 

Finally came in on saturday, and got to play it last night.

Campaign was pretty boring, I was starting to fall asleep.
Cooperative mode is ehhhh
Competitive mode is fun, not the Skirmish though. The deathmatchs are worthwhile

I think I had too high of an expectation for this game. Its not bad though, the deathmatchs never really get old

 

rmatic and wong, did you guys play the first resistance? if so, what did you think of that one?

 

i only played it a few times on my friends ps3 when the ps3 first came out. i liked it alot - but partially might've been the fact that HD games were still new.

btw is anyone else having trouble joining ranked games??

my psn is im-chi-nese

if anyone wants to play!

 

Yes, I did, multiple times through campaign difficulty levels and countless hours of online play before Vegas 1 and COD4 came out.

I LOVED resistance 1. The campaign was GREAT....the story was extremely solid, game play was tight, graphics were great, narration was great....you could use vehicles, and the weapon access was awesome as well as the weapons themselves.

Resistance 2 * MAYBE SPOILERS*




You can only carry 2 guns at a time- this edit sucks...especially since there is a lack of additional guns...the first Resistance had many weapons, all which i found myself using constantly.....

in R:Fom2 I basically found myself only using like 4 guns the entire campaign, the Bullseye, Carbine, Marksmen or Fareye/ and Shotgun with the occasional LARK for bosses.

They got rid of the backlash grenade and replaced it with some crappy ass poison grenade.


The graphics are cartoony, the AI is alot harder , even on "normal"....there are no vehicles to drive, the campaign is shorter, and there is a GIANT cliff-hanger at the end.....

but with such a sub-par campaign it really makes me wonder if the next title will be worth the 60 bucks, even though the story has TONS of potential, and i am interested in seeing the series through to a finish...

It does not deserve the 9.5 IGN gave it.


All in all, the game is lacking....it does not have that solid feel to it. I will not play through campaign again.

 

is anyone else having trouble joining the ranked games tonight?

 

*sigh* this game is disappointing...it is easy at some parts, and it is unbelievable frustrating at others, and never really fun at any point.

I only played one quick round of multiplayer, 24 player, in a map way too friggin big for that many people. wasnt as fun as I hoped, but hopefully the other modes/online coop will be better. I wanted to wait till I finished campaign to start playing, but I might just say fuck it, because the single player is only pissing me off

 

i think the online makes it worthwhile for me...

the campaign isnt really amazing nor fulfilling... i am now just hoping that i finish it soon

but the online multiplayer is quite fun... for me at least...

i did wish they retained more of the last game, i loved that shit, mult now seem not as skill oriented - but what impresses me is no lag with so many people... its crazy

 

the first game was awesome. the single player was fun, the multiplayer was awesome too. this time around, the single player seems like the developers were thinking "hmm, what seems like it would be a cool idea," and they failed miserabley IMO. They tried to do some interesting stuff, but they half assed it for the most part. the game is nothing special at all, and not even as good as the first one, which is hard to do with a video game, and it sucks lol. I'm sure the multiplayer will be fun

 

the campaign was fun i thought, not anything GREAT by any means but there were a TON of truely exciting and fun moments. The big problem i had with the campaign was that there really is no story....none whatsoever. So many plot holes, so many questions, so many things left unexplained. very bizarre. The end boss was way too easy and the end cut scene was a let down.

The multiplayer on this game MORE than makes up for it though. i dont think ive ever had more fun playing online multiplayer than i do with the co-op modes on this game. It is truly a new and original experience involving alot of strategy more than just run-n-gun.

the competitive multiplayer is also really a treat, i dont care what anyone says but 60 player online battles are unlike anything ive seen yet.

the graphics are quite good on this game, nothing that shocked or impressed me but they are very good, and polished. there is no pop-in, there is no weird texture problems, there are no glitching issues. it may not be the prettiest thing out there but its very very polished.

 

I wish the campaign gameplay was as polished as everything else. It looks like they kind of skimped on it, maybe because they knew the multiplayer was so good, and more important to them. but what annoys me is the mechanics of some of the campaign missions, and they can get quite annoying

 

makes sense to me. the game informer issue a few months bad ONLY talked about multiplayer... but then again thats what i do play over and over eventually after the campaign

but i do wish it would be more thought out. the big bossy guy... ugh not the best drawing of him lol

 

I love Resistance 1 and never get bored with the deathmatches(Online)!! I still play it today and was curious how R2 is comparable in the deathmatches/team deathmatches?

 

It's not. R1 is superior.

 

R2 multiplayer sucks

 

Yep. The whole game sucked.

 

I guess I won't be buying R2 and I will keep playing R1 until I get sick of it...LOL!!! We should start a AZ Clan!!! haha!!!

The rooftop team deathmatches are pretty intense and crazy!!! Lots of fun!!! One of my favorite maps to play!!
