Resistance 2

What 2 new areas ?

I can PM you details, one we've already seen, so to speak, the other hasn't been mentioned at all. Let's just say I'm freaking pumped to see how it'll actually look in game.

No, no, no. Don't do it. I want to remain as spoiler free as possible. But how did you find out ? Is there some threads I should avoid ?

Europeans can get a R2 beta key by preordering it on www.play.com. You'll get your key on friday.

It says Thursday on the order page and as the day slowly draws to conclusion I still don't have my beta code.

It seems they changed the date. It now says, they'll e-mail the beta keys on Thursday 16 October. I guess the beta won't start before then. Which is kind of close to the release date, but that could also mean the beta is very close to the final game.

 

[DJ12]

I will let them off then, it's not their fault I didn't read it properly

Missed this one amidst the TGS gluttony of news: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008...-resistance-2-interoperability-and-then-some/

PSP-PS3 interaction in Resistance: Retribution.

Infected mode provides an alternate story within our alternate history. While in prison for desertion, Grayson is recruited by Specter Lieutenant David LaSalle (from the R2 storyline) and is infected with a mutated version of the Chimeran virus … a different version of the virus that infects Nathan Hale.

While playing in “infected” mode, Grayson wears a Specter uniform and has glowing Chimeran eyes. He gets to use one of the new weapons from R2: the HE .44 Magnum, which fires explosive rounds that can be triggered remotely. He has regenerative health and no longer needs to look for health packs. He can breathe underwater, allowing him to reach hidden areas that he could not reach before. And we’ve added another whole class of Intel that are hidden throughout the levels. Collecting all of the “infected” intel will unlock another R2 weapon, the Plasma Grenades.

Another cool feature we’re including is something we call PSP Plus! Activated from the R2 options screen, PSP Plus! allows you to play Resistance: Retribution using your Dualshock 3 wireless controller. We remove aim assist and increase the challenge level of the game. We even support the vibration function of the controller. If you’re playing at home and want to experience Resistance: Retribution in an all new way, this is it.

I have a feeling Resistance is not exactly your cup of tea.

It's not a good game?

What? Maybe I'm reading your post wrong, but it seems to present itself as though you think Resistance 2 is not one of those great games, and you're looking for a free trial?

More like, I rather be using this time to play through beta's (doing so with CoD4 now) vs take the time away from retail releases of Gears2/Fable2/LBP/Left 4 Dead to play through a beta.

FYI the beta will end before two of those games are released...

Jstevenson mentioned that there are many things to coordinate because they are preparing for the beta, the day 1 patch and the real game setup at the same time.

They probably want to use the beta data to jump start the match making too.

Not every good game is everyone's cup of tea.
Scratch that, I don't think there is a single game that's everyone's cup of tea.

So then Resistance 2 isn't in the category of "great games" for you then. Just wanted to make sure.

Thanks for deciding for me? I'm waiting on the beta....why so bitter?

Not really bitter, just surprised that someone would just alienate Resistance 2 from 'great games' and lump it in with 'pass the time' games so quickly. I won't pretend that I'm not a fanboy for Insomniac games, I ver much am

I just think you should give the game a bit more of a chance, rather than just think of it as a free rental title to play while you wait for another title.
