Link? Can't find any new preview on the site.

Its on their youtube channel : IGNentertainment. Don't know how to link a youtube vid from the ipad as the videos open up in the app. Its also on the machinima channel ! Chk it out, says all good things about the game.

He says something like," except for a dip here n there, it solid 60fps which shooter fans will greatly appreciate" , something like that.

The beta is stable now. No more crashes. ^_^

RFOM is back !
The game is too addictive. Got to go home now @ 2:00am.

I am not too sure about the kill streaks but they seem to be pretty balanced so far. We shall see.

EDIT: Also JPT and macabre, you're playing MAG together again ?

Now that is what I have been waiting to hear since so long now !!!!!!! Good to see it coming from a RFOM fan ! Wake me up when September comes !

I may be the only one but I feel more hyped for this game then Killzone 3. Maybe this will be THE first person shooter for the PS3 and I am very fond of the games Killzone 3 and MAG for instance and lets not forget Battlefield 3 too...

Well, we know the servers can become unstable if the load is too high. So Insomniac still has some work to do to their servers.

Gameplay wise, the gunplay is more similar to RFOM than R2. Compared to KZ3, it lacks the weight that KZ is "famous" for. R3 made it up by having a hectic gameplay. Each game flies by pretty quickly. Before I know it, it's end of one round (Each game has 2 rounds, alternating between Chimera and Human).

Some of the guns are also different from RFOM (Carbine and Auger.... ). You'll have to pick your favorite. I like BullsEye. IMHO, it's much better than the Carbine. Auger is now only a killstreak weapon, which sucks. I mean the weapon is great, but limiting it to killstreaks sucks !

I use Auger mostly for flushing out group of snipers (Remember Sniper Wall in Somerset ?). The beta maps seem pretty well designed so far. So if people gather together to snipe, it's not so difficult to get behind them or lobe a grenade to wipe them out. I don't know if the grenade distance is gimped but I can throw pretty far.

That's it for now... busy week considering I now have another job on-hand, defending Earth. XD

... and BioShock Infinite and RAGE.

But I have been waiting for a RFOM followup for a few years now.

Now that is what I have been waiting to hear since so long now !!!!!!! Good to see it coming from a RFOM fan ! Wake me up when September comes !

I am starting to gather people into one GAF chatroom so that I can recruit ad hoc R3 team for my own game later.

I sent you the chatroom link before, not sure if you still have it. There should be anywhere from 2-10 or more people 24/7. Some of them are playing BattleField Bad Company 2 and Uncharted 2 regularly. I think they also have game specific chatroom in case the main one becomes too crowded.


EDIT: What the hell, forgot about Starhawk.... and STARHAWK !


EDIT 2: JPT and macabre, if you guys are playing MAG regularly again. Let me know...

I have not counted frames, but the beta does not feel like 60 fps. Quite smooth with some slowdowns though.

Sorry, but a part fps unlocked, the only who suppose something like that it's only IGN; unfortunately I don't think is so reliable when we talking of specific tech...

Patch 2.02 coming tomorrow:
http://www.insomniacgames.com/resistance-3-beta-update-patch-2-02-and-beyond/

First up, patch 2.02 should be available within the next day.

Patch 2.02 Changelog
- Potential fix for “Game has already ended”
- Fix for Host Migration after each game
- Potential fix for Invisible players
- Some other minor tweaks

...

We’ve made some solid progress on fixing the Invisible Player glitch, but we still need more info to make sure it’s been fully fixed. Remember we’re rewarding detailed reproduction instructions for this specific glitch. Please be specific with your details and post in this thread.

There will be a new forum thread for any new issues that may arise from 2.02. Please let us know if things aren’t working correctly or if you are having additional issues. You guys have been great helping us solidify this Beta.

We hope to quickly follow 2.02 with 2.03 later this week. 2.03′s main function is to reset stats and progression for everyone. Now that we’ve stabilized our stats servers, this will help us identify any issues with these changes. Keep in mind that beta stats will not carryover to retail, so just think of this as a chance to level up to the cap all over again! Stay tuned for more details on this patch soon.

We will also continue to tweak and update the server for optimal performance and user experience. If there are any updates on that front you will hear them from us first.

Played with tha_con and nightshade so far.

Jealous jealous jealous ! Thats me right now !

The beta has been pretty unstable last week. It's much much better this week but not perfect yet. ^_^

There are also visual polish issues that I suspect will last till launch. Don't get your hope too high !

You'll get in soon enough. 8^)

I'm rooting for an old school mode (no perks !). Heard we may get it... Keeping fingers crossed.
