Resistance 2

The E3 2008 trailer:
[gt]36207[/gt]

I think it's better than the commercial, but I'd like a different one highlighting R2's gameplay and massive environment, like:
* Show cool weapons (e.g., Splice) on interesting Chimera monsters (Chimeran fish, Chameleon, Leviathan, Kraken, Goliath)
* Pan through 8P co-op and massive 60P Chicago map

Unfortunately, I think the game was probably not completed yet to show gameplay trailers. So they'd have to rely on cutscenes.
 
Oh god, I saw "The Mall" in the R1 commercial. Oh the pain !

Put in a few hours into the beta last night. I think I will focus on co-op in R2. Really really hope Insomniac patch the boss AI soon. The regular hybrids are getting better (One or two managed to break our defense and chased me down the valley).

Other than that, I have started to talk a bit more to help clueless guys out. A few got confused in Orick :)lol:) and didn't know what to do.

Have not touched competitive so far. I heard it's still different from R1. I will probably try it only after I have completed single player campaign (to upgrade my skill level).
 
I just played all the way through RFOM again. I forgot just how good it is and the latest vids for R2 just look amazing, so smooth and colourful. The only downside to the original was the lack of colour IMO.
 
I got 1 from IGN. They seem to be all gone now. And got another 1 from Jstevenson. He started a topic on myres to give away 10 beta codes to the first one's who send him a PM.:D I'll keep the EU one, and give the other one to a friend who's been helping me get beta codes for Resistance 2 and LittleBigPlanet.
 
I really don't get all the bitter tears toward R2's competitive multiplayer. Insomniac runs a business, they need money, and unless the cry babies who want R1 back buy 4 copies of the game each, they can keep their traps shut and go elsewhere. I want to see Insomnaic succeed, apparently the other guy's don't. R2 simply could not be a success if it was like R1. Period.
 
Sorry, I'm sure there's an easy way to get the answer to this question but am hoping someone can ping me a quick answer here.

Is the open beta starting soon? I've signed up at myresistance and have linked my PSN account to my profile there... is there anything else I have to do (assuming the first question is answered with a yes!)?
 
Wha... it started already. They are giving out beta codes at various sites.

(I assume you did not preorder, subscribe or bought the Qore episode)

Way to make me look stupid patsu... :(

I've had no luck on any of the sites (so far) and was wondering if there was an Insomniac way (through myres) around... or something.

Sigh. Oh well, carry on. Nothing to see here.

Back to various gaming sites I guess.
 
:LOL: It's not to make you look stupid. Happens to me all the time too.

They gave out 10 beta codes this morning on myresistance.net. All gone in 30 seconds. Will look out for you. I think CornSnake has an extra code ? You might want to PM him. I gave my extra code to RenegadeRocks.
 
If anyone catches one I'm up for an EU code. I'll give it up again on the 1st because I won't be able to play for 10 days from then on (and afterwards LBP should be out). Same if I do happen to catch one, in which case I'll pass it on at that date.
 
:p

Should be more active on B3D I guess - damn being busy with work.

On a related note, just saw this at IGN. Beta keys for Europe suspended apparently...

No, where's my man Cornsnake... ;)

There are nice things about R1 (e.g., weapon mix and balance) but I agree the speed may be too fast for some (many ?). Being different from R1 means I have to relearn the mechanics. For the most part, I'll have to spend more time getting owned :)

I have not tried R2 competitive games yet, so I can't comment on its relative performance vs R1.

If I recall correctly you'll need to sign up at www.beta.myresistance.net. Link your PSN account there, and make sure you fill in that extra list of questions to get a chance at the beta key. I tried checking the site what you'll need to do exactly, but the site appears down atm.

I allready promised my extra beta key to a friend. I tried getting more at IGN, but they wouldn't give me more then one this time. Strange that there are so few sites giving them away. Its not an open beta if not everyone can get it.

So far the co-op is great, the 60 multyplayer not so much. I'll post better impressions tomorrow. Now I need to get some sleep before having to got to work in 6 hours.

Edit: http://www.game.co.uk/PS3/Action/FirstPersonShooter/~r335236/Resistance-2/ Preorder here to get another chance at a beta key. The things I do during my coffiebreak.

Thanks for the advice. I had signed up at myres, linked my PSN and so on but whilst trying various things I keep getting SQL errors! I'll persevere though.

Cheers.

I like the new pace, primarily because now I can kill guys too ;) !
Frankly, the new speed feels just right in my hands, not too fast, not too slow. Opinions can vary though, but the changing objectives gameplay in Skirmish , coupled with the new speed match each other very well!

Though, I heard somewhere that they are gonna speed it up after listening to the feedback :( !
 
Eh, it's just sad that these "fans" pretend like R2 is a "betrayal". I'm speaking mostly about the GAF clan, just flat out ridiculousness. Aeon, and others, who are just crying their eye's out.

When a standard is set in place (like CoD4) you work from that, build, and improve. If R2 does NOT have features that were made standard by CoD4, then it simply WILL NOT succeed. Period.

I don't know WHY they don't get this. Insomniac will not make games that are not successful. R1 did decent sales wise, but a LARGE portion of their sales came from Bundles in Europe, just as a large portion of the Motorstorm and MGS4 sales came from bundles.

Edit: BTW, not all members of the GAF clan. Haven't really heard Sutdawgs opinion, or Bobs, but I know Bob was rather fond of the private beta as it was....so...
 
In what way R2 is slower?
I hope its not the forced stop-n-shoot via decreased accuracy while moving.
This was the case in internal beta IIRC and I was hoping they would fix that.
