Resitance Fall Of Man First Look Article + Gameplay Video

Resistance: Fall Of Man doesn't look shiny, that's why it doesn't look awesome 
They should at least make the helmets of the soldiers chrome and perhaps the aliens more bumpy and slimey with colourful glowing armour, it'd look much more awesome then!
The game does lack some colourfullness, but that's intended. In some interview they said it'd have some "standout" colourful graphics, like the effect of the red dressed girl in the movie Shindler's List, where in otherwise monochromatic film there was that one incident of colour and it made a good effect.
In my opinion it looks very good and athmospheric. Not in-your-face AMAZING! because of over the top effects and reliance of that shiney-shine to impress.
Anyway, the game is set in war torn England (or is it?), how much colour and neon glitz can one expect until it starts to look like an Epic game

Looks like a mutant thing from an episode of the X-Files. Kind of a maggot man.
Finally a fair comparison. Resistance looks better than CoD and at least as good as Brothers in Arms imo. I wonder how the retail version(s) will look in motion.
I think the main enemy looks somewhat out of place with that gun in its hand. You keep wondering what's the use of his big mouth then.. the animation makes up for it. It's not that I really mind because I have never seen a FPS with great looking main enemies..
On the other hand I think the bigger enemies do look great. We haven't seen the big spider and it's also supposed to look really impressive.
It looks like Abe from oddworld without the stitches
They should have made them look more .. agressively like skaarj
This one looks better

Not too bad, except that to a casual observer, it looks like a weak and very sick boy from far. He seems to die easily too (have to play the real game to find out).

Yea... the first time I saw the regular Chimera, I thought something will come out from his mouth. Do they bite in the game ? Or is their mouth stucked in an opened position forever ?

if you look at it like that, every alien looks out of place in a WWII environment ...

Go see an eye doctor. COD isn't even close.

COD3 looks extremely comparable to this.
WTF THAT IS INSANE! AWESOOOMEEE!!!
Yes and no. I checked out the CoD3 trailer. Atmosphere-wise, there are indeed similarities. e.g., The chaotic war zone, the struggle between the German soldier and the protagonist... This is good because I like a noisy and realistic warzone. But I think graphic and gameworld wise FoM is superior.
* The environment looks more refined in FoM (higher-res ?). I remember FoM is more persistent ? As in dead bodies will be around.
* CoD3 also have popins as you go near (There is a scene where the hole in the wall suddenly appear when you go near it). I didn't notice this in FoM clips even when the distance is relatively far.
* Objects in FoM seems more interactable (e.g., Tables, chairs, ...). In CoD3, they seem to be fixed or scripted as usual.
* Close up enemies (The German soldier vs the biting alien)... FoM looks more detailed.
* Areas in CoD3 still looks claustrophobic (corridor crawl-like) compared to one of the FoM levels where the aliens are higher up and look down into a massive lower-level area. Does CoD3 has huge areas like this (as reported by IGN folks).
* NPC soldiers in FoM is more varied and more detailed (They carry different equipments). CoD3 solders do not carry anything except for their gun. They really look the same.
IMHO, to say that CoD3 is comparable to FoM is like Halo 2 is comparable to GoW.

You're wearing some seriously rose coloured glases if you honestly believe that statement.
That's the point. I don't believe in both assertions... look at the premise first:
to say that CoD3 is comparable to FoM
Hmm. Just looked up some COD3 screens and applied a little scrutiny.
It's comparable to Resistance and Gears. But it doesn't stand the comparison very well. Seems to have just a little less of everything. Add in that it lacks the attention to detail the heavy hitters have and it actually starts to look a little ragged. Not primitave. No. But Gears and Resistance are clearly a cut above.
And relating the conversation, they are more comparable to each other than COD3. COD3, to and extent, doesn't compare.

I think the point is that if you feel the disparity between CoD3 and FoM = Halo 2 and GoW, you're wearing rose colored glasses...
Sure... find another alien title that you feel is similar to GoW but inferior and/or dated
I pointed out Halo 2 because it has popins too.
EDIT: Actually it might be cleaner if I say if CoD3 is extremely comparable to FoM, then it's extremely comparable to GoW.

Nothing. I kind of like that guy. Sure he looks a bit like the X-Files worm man, but I liked him too.
