Resistance 2

Arwin said:
I think I can agree on this. I played the R1 single player campaign and loved it, but the R2 (which I bought recently) campaign I just can't get into. I'm stuck at some place very early on where there is an all powerful drone patrolling, and additionally just playing the game makes me physically ill. Weird.

EDIT: but I really liked the multi-player modes in the beta. (haven't played them in the final game yet, too many other games atm)

you have to follow instructions being provided on the radio. You can't fight that drone .

surprisingly I enjoyedthe co-op more in the beta as the sessions were longer and Orick is anyways much better made than the others.
As for R3, well I am sure decisions have already been made and the work already underway. I'll say- stop aping other games Insomniac, your ideas are always better than theirs:cool:!!!
 
For all the -ves I have mentioned regarding the SP campaign , I must say that 8 player co-op has been the best addition to the franchise ! It will always distinguish a Resistance game from all others out there.
 
Just got the game... quick question.. Is the game supposed to have a lot of black crush :?: I'm just on the first level and it's very dark. Did I miss it or is there no brightness/gamma adjustment in the menu ?

I thought there was a slider. But the lighting indoors is kind of weird.
 
Ah ok. I just got to the jungle level and it seems "normal". Guess it's their dramatic lighting attempt. :)

If the game is too dark you need to adjust the gamma settings. At the correct setting there will not be any black crush. Some area's (like Chicago) have intentionally dark area's that require the flashlight, but they are "no light" situations, so obviously you can't see anything w/out the flashlight (for the most part).

I believe going into the settings will allow you to adjust the Gamma.
 
I don't see the gamma settings...

edit: Google at least shows me complaints about the game not having one and the game being too dark. *shrug* Changing my TV's gamma or brightness settings don't help at all.
 
Ok well this is annoying. I have to have the PS3 set to limited. Doesn't work otherwise. sigh.
 
Yup ! Is uffered a lot of black crush earlier, only to realise I had set RGB to "FULL" when my TV didn't support it. I set it back to "limited" and the black crush was gone.

But with me it was for all games, not just for R2.

How do I know if my screen supports Full range RGB/ Super White or not ?

You can look around for some test images on the web. They show squares of varying black levels, and if you can't see the last bunch of black squares when using Full RGB for instance, then your TV doesn't support it. This is probably the easiest and most reliable method.

EDIT: this seems a site with a bunch of useable test images

What display do you have? If it's a TV, more likely Limited is the correct setting.

Well, the TV has its own settings for Full/Limited. It's just that for some reason, Resistance 2 gets the shaft with the range. Every other game I have works fine.

Anyways, I'm up to... some part with all those zombie things in some train tunnel. I was having fun up until then. Not enough ammo or effective weapons. :(

How can I test this on my TV?

I have my PC connected with it but is ut enough? Shouldnt I use my PS3 to test it?
 
If you want to test using your PS3, it's best to get a calibration disc and use the proper test pattern. Here's a free one: LINK
Just burn it to a DVD. Set your PS3 to output RGB for Blu-Ray/DVD (I think it's in the Video settings), then set your PS3 to output RGB Full. Pop the calibration disc in and find a pattern showing levels 0-255 (usually the brightness test pattern). If you can see levels below 16 or above 235, then your display supports Full RGB.

Again, TV's generally expect Video/Limited levels (16-235), but some TV's have the option for both -- usually it's called "Black Level" or "HDMI Black Level". If your TV doesn't have this option, Limited is the right setting. If you're using a PC monitor that doesn't have the option for both, it's most likely expecting PC/Full levels (0-255).
 
np.

I have a much older version of the AVCHD disc downloaded from AVSForum, but the one I have, there's a pattern in the Basic Settings menu that has vertical bars flashing from 0-255. I think it's the Black Clipping Pattern. You'll probably have to raise the brightness setting on your TV to see them. If you see levels below 16 with the brightness cranked, your display supports Full RGB. If you don't see anything below 16, even with the brightness cranked, then it doesn't.
