Good luck in your dealings with Sony blimblim.
Those invisible thingies in the forest... two things. First I wish they'd take more damage (although, of course, it may have been toned down for this demo). Second, they always seem to come from in front. Again, this may be a peculiarity of this demo/build. But invisible things... creeping up on you... from behind... with audio cues? That'd be cool. Must remember R2 is not a survival horror though.

Agreed about the chameleons (invisible chimera). They do NOT look like they should be killed by a single bullet or melee attack.
If a 500+ pound predator with giant claws and a natural pouncing ability came at you in a full sprint while you were standing still, I don't find it even slightly believable that you could swing your gun at it and have it drop dead instantly.
It'll still be good from a gameplay perspective but I would have much preferred a very slow-moving, sneaking chameleon that would follow you around for 5-10 minutes in the shadows and eventually sneak up behind you etc...

Maybe they sacrificed armor for stealth. As they became super stealthy, they relied less on being hit. Also as far as gameplay go, that stuff would be annoying if they weren't killed quickly. Maybe the guy playing should have played less serious. like JS said he knew every location they would come (the tester).

Oh man, I don't want to even imagine them in the harder difficulties. People will be breaking controllers. Nov 4th!
Also didn't he have a shotgun shooting them? What if he has another two weapons and forgot to save ammo for shotgun for quick close ranged kills. Also that shielded beast at the area with the cars and buildings. That thing looks very aggressive. JS said he's slayed many of them in his days which is why he was killing it so easily (the tester).

i dont mind them - but what i like to see is a "you die => savegame dies to" mode - than it would make sence to kill them with one hit

I haven't been keeping up with the beta news......can someone help me?
I just got back from Gamestop, and entered in all my stuff. Did the beta start? Will they send me an e-mail now?

Beware of spoilers though, maybe.

Dunno, there is a cutscene where something (unexpected?) happens. But since I don't really care about FPS games (any of them) I can't say if it's significant or not.Stike said:Aaaaand everyone downloads
May take ages...
How can you classify the spoilers? Story? Weapon, Location, Characters?

Wow.
But I thought Resistance 2 had no lighting?
Why is this video showing me otherwise...

Has there been anything said about what happens in co-op if you don't have 8 players? Say you only want to play with friends and people you trust not to be douches, but there's only 5 of you, does it scale the enemies, fill the slots with AI?

I'm still curious about this. I mean, the beta has been out for a while now but nothing about the other ways to get in yet.

If the QORE beta is set up like the SOCOM beta was then QORE users will get in a week after the initial batch of beta tests go out.

then what is the girl with stick thing about?
And the new Gamersyde video looked great. I'm still wondering what is up with the constant ironsight mode with the rifle. First it is the slanted weird one of R1, then it is the close up great one that you would expect it to be, and now it seems like the middleground.

So, if it doesn't look good, that means...?
Most games use a combination of prebaked shadows and dynamic shadows. The lighting and shadows, especially on the characters, looked good in that video.

The game looks exceptional any way you cut it. No one can cut it down when it looks that good with what it's pulling on the screen.Private Hoffman said:

Hmm, I am sure I am in the minority, but I actually like the look of the flat lighting. It reminds me of an old overexposed polaroid, and (at least in my mind) it seems to be more an artistic expression than a limitation within the game. It seems to fit well with the old newsreel footage, aged documents and pictures used to tell the story. I don't really get the impression that Insomniac is going for hyper-realism, and is instead aiming for something slightly cartoon like.
This may be do to my experience with the R&C series. I have only seen videos online and the actual in-person experience may indicate that the game is trying to present itself as something more than I assume, and that in that attempt it leaves itself lacking. Whatever the case may be, I picked up my beta voucher today and I am very excited to start playing this in the next few weeks.
