RESISTANCE 2 - Hype Thread w/latest info

shagg_187 said:
If this is what i think this is then that's not the name of the weapon. It's actually called Marksman. I can talk about the gun without being shot at, right?



lol... I know how to use spoilers (check post history)!. Guess I'll use it for Marksman:

Marksman, as the description above says, is a semi-auto sniper rifle. I think it's a human's weapon and not a chimeran weapon. It's alternate fire shoots a slow ball of lightning that floats slowly towards the direction you shoot at. As soon as it reaches the target, it shoots lightning at any creature in it's radius and takes them down. Works great when there's loads of them and you feel like laying low

I'll also speak about the other new weapons that i used, most of them you already know.

Bullseye, dubbed Bullseye Mark III (Where was Mark II? Good Question. It was available at the end of Resistance: Fall of Man) is the current basic weapon of Chimera. Looks like they have upgraded their weapons real quick and are ready for an all out assault. The alternate fire, once again, is tagging. This time, the tagging is more user friendly to the eyes i.e. When you tag, the enemy glows yellow. The crosshair has changed and the weapon itself is quite different from previous reincarnations of bullseye. The weapon has three pendulums on top of it which i sorta named "stabilizer". I asked Jstevenson for the use of it. He gave me 3 uses:

1. Chimerans have 6 eyes so these help them focus better
2. It shows how stable the gun is (i.e. when you shoot, it swings back and forth giving a real cool effect)
3. It looks cool~! :p


Mangum works just like any regular magnum, but it's big, bulky and very useful. As presented in any other shooter, Magnum is one shot kill if shot on the upper body. Reload is also fast so it can, at times, replace any convenient weapon though it shouldn't be used for smaller creatures as there's a bigger probability of missing. Suck at shooting? Magnum has the solution! It's alternate fire is a mini-explosive detonator so you can play with it very intelligently. Lets say there's waves of chimerans coming at you. Best way out is shoot at the one closest to you. As he falls and others start walking his path, blow up the bullet and watch them fly. You can also use it as a C4. Shoot at the walls and wait for the chimerans to follow, blow em out as they reach.

ASS!!! j/k
. I was in the private beta, so I know what a marksman is. Nice in between gun.

I spoiler-tagged the marksman as a response to my first post and it wasn't a direct response to you. Nice edit though ;)

Didn't want you to take it the wrong way like you did my spoiler post. Some people are sensitive you know and can't be criticized.

ugh whats the point of a beta if it is that short? thats not enough time to generate the hype R2 needs. The beta needs to come out like....NOW, especially before LBP hits.


I agree, it needs to hit like yesterday. I assume they are either working out some kinks or it has to go through approvel with Sony. Either way, I hope it comes out before this weekend. I can't wait to see the changes since "Girl with a Stick".

Are we going to get a date for the premiere/public beta? I heard early October but we're nearing mid-October and I still have no idea when we'll get to play this. Throw us a bone please?

We haven't announced any date. The team is working on it, but there are lots of moving parts, and promising a date that might be missed because of one of various circumstances doesn't seem right to us.

Very soon, hopefully.

The search function isn't working for me right now so I just thought that I would ask in here. I got a replacement PS3 from Sony today and none of my data was transferred. I can just log in on my preexisting PSN account and DL everything again, right?

Thanks a lot, GameStop... Maybe they'll send my R2 beta code via snail mail. :lol

At least the beta doesn't seem like it's starting until next week at the earliest.

The bold has me a bit concerned.

I really hope that wasn't why kittonwy was banned. I miss the cat already.

Good thing I didn't take a 2-5 day hit on ordering from gamestop/ebworld.com for the beta. Insomniac will have my support on launch day when I pick up the copy in person. Online day 1, no beta but the pre-order was a lottery anyway (aka gamestop kept too many for themselves, or put the codes up on used game shelves for money).

No, I was just assuming they kept some beta codes for themselves or just gave them to friends. I doubt they would want to get caught selling them. I have no reason to believe that they ran out of beta codes for preorders. There should be a new code made for each preorder.

Im pretty sure Gamestop screwed me too....I'm cancelling in 2 days if no beta code from them and taking my money to the place most of my money evaporates into thin air..AKA, Best Buy.

She is french, is soooooooo cute.

The connectivity between the PS3 and PSP looks hot.

Sorry if old.

Resistance 2 and Resistance: Retribution will have some interesting connectivity.

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008...-resistance-2-interoperability-and-then-some/

So will R2 have new PSP content, which gets downloaded to the memory stick ?
Or will you simply need R2 to activate content already on the PSP UMD ?

Unfortunately no USB video out for the biggest fans of all...the early adopters...the PSP-1000 owners. Some basement kid can program it for homebrew firmwares, but Sony can't ?

Activated from the R2 options screen, PSP Plus! allows you to play Resistance: Retribution using your Dualshock 3 wireless controller. We remove aim assist and increase the challenge level of the game. We even support the vibration function of the controller. If you’re playing at home and want to experience Resistance: Retribution in an all new way, this is it.

That's cool!

How did Kittonwy get banned (other than that post)?

I can't wait for Resistance 2 to come out. Haven't preordered yet, but I'll be doing that soon. Not sure if I even want to play the public beta or wait for the full thing... think I'd rather have it be all new when I play it.

Very cool. The only drawback is having to have the PS3 disc in.

I wish this was possible with more games. I want to play Patapon and others on my big screen but without being tethered to the PS3 by a USB cable.
 
Linkzg said:
The drawback is that it doesn't seem like it will be full screen on the TV.

Yeah, but it is better than playing on the tiny screen. I think this function should be added to the firmware. Hook the PSP with any game to your PS3 via USB and you can play with the DS3 on your TV. I think it is very doable and this proves it.
