[PS3] Resistance 3 [SPOILER ALERT - Contains R2 story discussion]

[patsu]

Yap, the demo is missing the atmosphere, the scenarios, and the complete gunplay. At least you can upgrade the weapons.

e.g., In Chapter 7, you face more powerful enemies trying to overwhelming you. In these demo chapters, it's more about the player feeling out the world. So the experience will be different. If your friend bought it cheap later, you might want to give R3 a try again to see if you dig it. If you still don't feel anything after Chapter 7, then it's time to move away from the game. ^_^

Which one is chapter 7?

Yeah I tried the demo last night, just seemed kinda bland gameplay wise. The fps market is just too tough now. Visually I see why I liked it at e3, because I was watching it from further away so I didn't notice the low res textures and blur. It looks ok at home but it's definitely outgunned by other games.

Apparently not in the gameplay department though. I keep hearing high praise from more hardcore fps players (which I am not), for the many weapons and many different ways the game can be played (different routes, no weapon litations, etc), which most find refreshing versus the many corridor shooters out there.

 

[Nesh]

Does anyone know how do I zoom with the Move controller?

 

[messyman]

I didn't think the demo was particularly good.
Not that I didn't enjoy the gun play, but I think it could have been a little longer.

Is it L1 ?

Played two rounds today. The game is so much fun, hurts to see so few people were playing it tonight. Everyone seems to have shifted to BF3. I do have to say this game is so much in MP, wish there were more full games. Maybe its just cos it was a monday night.
OTOH, I played it on my TV tonight, had been playing on my monitor uptill now, and what a change !!!!! The game looked absolutely beautiful ! And all that annoying blur that I ketp complaining about was almost non existant, and th emaps, the lighting looked brilliant.

It could be due to TV colour scheme being different from my monitor and the game being tuned to be viewed on the TV. Also, my monitor is native 1080p and my TV is a 720p tv. I am guessing the extra blur I was getting on my monitor must have been the really bad upscaling of my monitor to fit it on the full screen. Strangely, i don't see this blur in other games, though !
But on my TV, R3 looks faaaaaaaaantastic !!!!!

Most monitors simply expect native resolutions because they are generally conected to a PC, hence the built-in scalers tend to be beyond shitty.

Probably depends on region. I play this every other day in late night for 15-30 minutes. The lobby (still) fills up quickly.

Most of the players prefer deathmatch though. I R3 CTF.

Games(TM) has reviewed Resistance3 as the Best exclusive FPS on the ps3 !

 

[messyman]

I agree.
Just got this game and it's awesome!
The game has some of the best lighting and atmosphere.
FPS of the year for 2011 imo.

 

[patsu]

I'm still waiting for their next big patch before getting back in.
I think people like it because the gunplay, pacing and scenario variety is great and most importantly, fun.

U3 is more sophisticated and "technical" in comparison. Over here, I can fool around and just let my guns go. Sooooooo very glad that they took care of the lag problem.

 

[messyman]

I'm still waiting for the patch to fix the aiming and motion blur before I start my first play through of U3.

The controls in R3 is spot on.
