Resitance Fall Of Man First Look Article + Gameplay Video

[Danalys]

I live in England, and I've never seen it look that brown except in war movies. And even then, the uniforms are greenish brown and the roads greyish brown

And as a side point, overcast skies increase saturation in perceived colours. Choice of colours here are purely artistic and no attempt to be true to life. Which is okay in principle, but I'm not the only one finding it quite tiring.

i live in the north west. i'm well away of what over cast skies look like with war time artitecture. since my town still has war time buildings. in war time you can't afford coloured paint. all the buldings were plain. this is the way it was. it also looks like autumn weather. it fits with my experience of such. don't feed me some rubbish about increased saturation. since it's just not true.

hi guys

Insomniac games were nice enough to tell my brother that keyboard + mouse wont be supported.

i'm very sad - i had hope game devs would support Kb+Mouse this gen, mostly ps3 devs.
i dont feel so well about purchasing ps3 now, but i was expecting this....

best of luck to the game though

It'll be used more in the future. Insomniac probably didn't have enough time to gameplay balance both control schemes.

I agree there but I don't think you can really balance controller vs mouse. Mouse will always win, no matter what really...

Wow that sounds really good, my anticipation for this game just ratcheted up a couple notches.

Could Sony and Insomniac have a Halo killer on their hands?

What a comment for IGN to make

 

[El Leone]

Why does IGN have to do this? Starting internet wars with rabid ******s.....

Resistance is looking good, I may get it when I get a PS3.....Eventually.

 

[dizzyd]

Sound very promising! I am a little disappointed though that there isn't split screen online play like in PDZ0. Online still sounds like fun though.

 

[patsu]

That's what I needed to know. Sounds good. ^_^

Perhaps one of the most impressive yet non-hyped things about the game thus far is its AI. Enemies range in intelligence depending upon who/what they are, so animalistic creatures will still be single-minded, but the soldiers are a different story. They'll use cover whenever possible, fire off blind shots just to keep you guessing and even try to flank you when given the chance. In one case, we came into a room and spotted a Chimera on the other side, standing in an opposite doorway. It fired off a handful of shots and stepped behind the wall. Thinking that we'd flank him, we set off to the right and attempted to surprise him by going around the room. Not so fast, it seems, as the Chimera had exactly the same idea. Clever girl... err, alien.

Not only do characters have a rather insane number of animation routines, Insomniac's proprietary engine is also capable of mixing them with ragdoll physics, enabling characters to be knocked down in realistic ways (as they're partly scripted and partly physics-based), and then get up again if they're still alive. A demo room we were shown had a line of hapless Chimeran soldiers standing still, ready to be shot. Regardless of where a killing blow was placed, be it in the leg, shoulder, head, chest or what have you, the character's body would kick realistically in that direction and flop against the ground or wall or tumble over a barrier in an extremely believable way. To put it shortly, Resistance has a simply awesome animation system.

I was talking about this earlier in the thread. That sounds pretty damn nice.

Since the show, the developer has been splitting the game's subsystems off to individual SPUs on the Cell (like physics, AI, sound, etc.) and then cranking the detail on each sky-high.

I didn't know that was possible with the spe's.

just stunning :O

Maybe it was running only on PPE back then

When I first browsed these new screenshots I thought they have too good AA on them. But watching the accompanying movies, they have it in-game too at solid 30fps, which is the most impressive thing to me.

 

[Ons::lob::]

OMG I just looked at the movies at IGN. My jaw pretty much hit the floor. I've never seen 30 fps look so good.....especially with all those effects going on.

halo killer, gearsOW needs to release now or else its gonna get stomped in the side by side comparisson, like ive been saying all along.
dont wanna rub it in, but looks like all the naysayers were wrong

I didn't know that was possible with the spe's.

this is an ideal use for them, youve got all this processing power sitting there u might as well use it.

 

[Crayon]

I think we are ankle deep in the marketing push we will see for this game. I'm expecting a full on tsunami. This game is going to be huge.

Hehe.. remember "I-8"? How "lackluster" does it look now?

Edit:
Just saw a video.

WOW.

That is very impressive. I whatched it a few time and I just keep seeing more details. They really add up. So much happening. So much geometry, draw distance, good ragdolling, particles, enemies, animation...

If the multiplayer really is all that then I dare say PS3 may have a killer app day 1.

 

[Sankari]

This game is gona rock.

I love the animation! And look at that how many aliens were in the battle in that last movie, don't think you can do that without god mode on.

Not all of them in god mode. Watch the YORKvideo. God Mode is off. Still the game is shoot and run with some very basic cover.

 

[Sankari]

Perhaps the difficulty is easy just to show them more of the game? Don't think you can run around like that in hard or extreme mode (if such thing exists). Didn't seem like it was run and shoot in that video either, ofcourse they were running and shooting but thats what you do even in Halo.
