Resistance 2

The scans didn't wow me that much I think it's getting overhyped. But that's just the way GAF is about PS3 exclusives.

Need to see more screens+videos before I really can judge the graphics.

not just GAF, theres a 50+ page thread at GT too. theres no doubt the first game was popular (the sales and the amount of people still playing show this), which explains the excitement for the sequel. if you didn't enjoy the first game, that would explain the way you feel.

the first game didn't wow me at all visually (with exception to a few levels) but it was a launch title after all. but thats not why i liked it. i liked it for the gameplay, the solid 12-16 hour campaign, the intense online play, and it was nice to have skill points/achievements in a PS3 game. i know many liked playing through the coop mode too.
 
Resistance 1 = Fall '06
Ratchet and Clank = Fall '07
Resistance 2 = Fall '08

I can't even comprehend why people doubt it's going to come out this year.
 
The coop choice sounds excellent. Subdividing into teams keeps communications smart and effective in what would otherwise be an impossible hullabaloo of 60 smack-talking weirdos! Although 'mobile-phone' quality worries me. They mean with frequent audio dropouts and repeats and dalekification of voices? :p
 
This is great news,the first game was really under appreciated .
I just hope for someone like myself that the focus on MP and coop,doesn't leave the one player game light. I suppose I could play the coop game myself if it offers something different over the one player game.
The screens show greatly increased detail IMO and hint at a slightly darker tone artistically. First day purchase for me.
 
Resistance whilst not the best looking game in the world has that magic something that makes it a real joy to play. Gameplay is a thing sadly lacking in most titles these days and if Insommniac can keep the same solid heart and expand upon that then I can't see Resistance 2 being anything other than a hit.

It would seem that the PS3 has developed\expanded some rather solid FPS franchises quite early in its life cycle. With Resistance 2, Haze, and Killzone 2 all lined up this year it's going to be fun shooting things.
 
Have the people that bought R:FoM since given up on it, leaving online sparsely populated and not caring for a sequel now that there's lots of alternative games to choose from?

There is a small but loyal following. I consider this game to be much better than games like Halo3,Gears or COD4. I expect that level of praise and following.Maybe my expectations are too high.

Any word of the framerate yet?

I hope they stay with 720@30fps. Resistance felt like 60 fps atleast when comparing it to other shooters.

The first one was steady whatever it was(30fps I think).I don't think we can hope for better graphics,AI an an overall improvement and ask for more FPS.

What do you mean by "I dont think we can hope for better graphics". Do you mean by the look of the scans or the first title?. The scans shows an huge improvement over the first title, still its just scans =)

Like I said ,I don't think we can hope for better graphics AND a higher frame rate at the same so we will likely get much better graphics but no increase in frame rate.

They have already hit 60 fps with a game that looks far better than Resistance, I doubt they are going to go back to 30fps now.

Sure we can, Resistance was a 1st gen PS3 game, developers have learned a LOT since then, as can be seen by the quality and FPS of Ratchet and Clank. 1st gen games rarely harness the full potential of a console.

Technically it's possible,but I don' think it's a choice they will make. The first one didn't have any fame rate issues,so they likely don't see a need to increase the frame rate.
More likely they will use their increased knowledge to add to the other aspects of the game like graphics,AI etc while maintaining a steady 30 fps.

Actually, the community is quite large relative to other games on the PS3. The only other game I can think of with a similar volume of players is COD4.

Sony is certainly committed to the game, as well, considering their continued ad-buys for it.
