Aw, man.

The only time I've ever seen the single player game's frame rate slow down for Resistance 1 is where I threw 3 backlash grenades on the ground when 8-10 hybrids were shooting at me.
Of course I was purposefully trying to break the game at the time. I'd imagine that's why they weren't in MP. Same for hailstorm.
For those who don't know, the key distinction between the two is that the backlash reflected fire back at the shooter while the shield grenade in Halo just blocked fire which is actually a lot closer to the shield in R2. I don't know if the backlash grenades are coming back.

I'm talking about the core gunplay and style.
Resistance 2 has some crazy high-tech weapons, colorful environments (this time around), and pretty large scale for some of the battles. With the addition of the new battle rifle in R2, it has a very similar look and feel to Halo.
Killzone 2 is grittier with realistic weapons, similar to CoD4.

I really, really hope that the beta comes out this weekend since our school network is getting a gaming-focused update and I'll be staying through our vacation. R2 Beta+Dead Space would equal an AWESOME break.

While I admit I jumped on the Qore bandwagon by learning about an early R2 beta download if I subscribed to the yearly offering, I have no ill will for the beta not launching.
Still day 1, and that is based off of my experience in R1 and Insomniac as a developer across the Playstation iterations.

I know it isn't directed at me, I have read this entire thread and seen it ebb and flow, with a bit of amusement and schadenfreud that internet forums offer. I have been following the other threads on this game on this site as lurker. I'm not going to get into tech discussion as I am still wowed by what was pulled off in Super Metroid on the SNES, because game play is what bears fruit in my fun factor. Single player alone will deliver this, I am jazzed about the huge online coop and how they plan to implement objective based battles, but it was the secondary coop story mode with classes that sent my hype into plaid.
Insomniac delivers more than expected everytime I have bought one of their games, I put them in my collective affinity of loved developers like Konami, Capcom, Bungie, Naughty Dog, Treasure, and others (Bullfrog R.I.P.). I admit I have a stupid love, really irrational hunger for all things sci-fi. B-grade to multi-million dollar blockbuster stories manifested into any media, noir or cyberpunk. I eat it up, especially alternate histories.
The story weaved in the Resistance world is very compelling and enough to keep me frothing for the release date, I won't even go on how much sleep I lost on the ARG regarding Project Abraham (followed it on three sites and still go back and review it), but it is stuff like that and developers like Bungie that put their games out as something more. If you follow the story arcs, you would be hard pressed not to get lost in hype. Thankfully these companies deliver, so it isn't unwarranted hype.
Sorry about the above ramble, I am no fanboy of any particular system, game or developer, outside of appreciating those who have given us great times in our hobby.

This is the first article I've read that isn't complimentary.

Of course the build was in-progress but EDGE is siting a lack of polish, bad animations, bad A.I., and basic level design. They said that Killzone 2 comes off much more solid by comparison, which is disheartening when you think it's coming out after this title.
I hope the unstoppable Insomniac isn't feeling rushed to get this product out of the door. They above all other developers deserve to call in a delay if the game needs more time.

Uh, that's from Leipzig... which was the E3 build. Which is months and months old.
Why that's running now, when we've shown much more updated and in-depth code, is beyond me.

I imagine it just ran in the magazine, but was written 5-6 weeks ago at Leipzig.
They'll be reviewing it soon enough though, so we'll see how it goes.

I finally went out and got Resistance. My second PS3 game. Got it for $20 at GameCrazy with some coupon I had. Liking it so far. Really like the universe.
