Im loving the battle rifle (marksman) weapon.
I watched some multiplayer videos and thought it looked a bit too fast, but I'll maybe judge better once I get my hands on the Co-Op.

I'm watching the singleplayer walkthrough on gametrailers right now and I'm blown off!
WOW. That forest, lightning, water and Predator like enemies. WIN, WIN, WIN, WIN, WIN, FUCKING WIN.
Other PS3 developers will so hate you Insomaniac for Resistance 2.
That fucking forest - how did you do it?

honestly, i'm not sure if we can say that KZ2 looks better than R2 anymore...
I think KZ2 probably has better post processing effects and artistic effects, but Resistance 2's scale is something I've never seen before in a game.
I'm glad they're taking two different artistic approaches so they stand out on their own.

I think in many ways KZ2 is more impressive, but R2 takes so far in scale and variation...KZ2 has more detail and incredible effects
the forest really impressed me also, outside of uncharted and crysis, and perhaps far cry 2, its the best representation Ive seen

This is the first footage I've seen of the game that has truly impressed me. Bravo Insomniac the game looks much improved in almost every way and should be a blast to play. The first Resistance was great and this really looks like a much improved sequel.
Graphically it looks beautiful now and the environments look nice and open. Also really like the addition of gore, and the weapons looks as fun as ever.
It's a shame this game is coming out so close to Gears again and the two will no doubt be compared once again. I say it's a shame not because one is obviously better than the other, but because they are quite different games. I always thought that Resistance is much better compared to a game like Halo and believed that Resistance was Sony's answer to the Halo franchise.

The most irresponsible wreckless military vehicle I have seen since the Killzone dropships! Have they ever heard of harnesses! Our tax payer dollars are paying for that fucking death machine for our dear airmen?! Fucking appalled!
Otherwise it looks amazing

only thing that bugs me is that the shields edges look to sterile - there should be a little effect where they touch the ground or objekts ... now it looks like a simple see-tru bitmap witch gets cut by the games objekts... and not like an hightech-shield
something like this (you get the idea...)

The single player looks phenomenal. Multiplayer looks nice and smooth, although it looks a bit drab without any shadows or particle effects.
I don't really like the shield. I preferred the R1 shields. I also thinks the physics could be improved. I hope there is some interactivity with the surroundings.

Thanks! That's great to know.jstevenson said:
I guess when you guys complain about the explosions, it's about the "flash" in itself, not the smoke it generates sometimes. Regarding the flash, I also don't like it in KZ2, although it's different.
I forgot to mention something before, I was also impressed by the new character models, easily Uncharted level imho, at least some of the main ones, like the officer ordering Hale around in the 1st mission.
On a whole it's looking beyond what I was expecting. Now I just hope that the story is on par with the tech. The first game was better in the second half ended when it was getting really really interesting. Though with the polish I see everywhere (jesus GAWD I just understood the polish flag posts lol i'm so dumb) I believe the game will be truly a complete package. It's amazing what Insomniac can do year after year after year. I don't think there's another dev team in the world with this kind of productivity and production quality.

Currently playing through the first,i waited till it became a greatest hits because it was still 69 bucks over here and now i got a used GH for 19 and it's pretty good...seeing the new video's,the game looks 10 times better,wow,did you guys see that "Goliath" video,it looks awesome and fun...can't wait.

It just struck me that Nathan and a lot of other R2 characters are wearing what looks be be Bluetooth head sets.
This in a game that takes place in 1953!
What Nathan is supposed to have is something like this fucking WW2 field radio strapped to the side of his head.
Suspension of disbelief shattered!

The biggest difference I've noted between R2 and Killzone2 is that the explosions linger far longer in Killzone2.
In R2 the explosions pretty much appear and vanish seconds later whereas in Killzone2 you have wisps of smoke that stick around.
Both games look fantastic, I dont know how I'm going to find time for both.

It was my understanding that the americans where reverse engineering some of the Chimerian tech, no?
