Really? I was in private beta, and no code as of yet. Are those being sent out in waves as well?

Just to check. When you put in the code from Gamespot + PSN username/email, did you get a confirmation email? My brother says he didn't back then, and is still code-less.

If it's the single episode, you get in later. I'm not sure if it too late for subscription people.

How does that e-mail sending, redeem code system work actually.

You have Sony HQ deep underground somewhere.

I'm assuming they're keeping track of every redeem code used up to a year(?) after usage when the time comes for the number to re-enter the pool.

So...

Insomniac says they want beta spaces for 50 000 people.

They give some criteria (PSU members, MyResistance members..etc).
What file format do you store that data in? All the account e-mails and such.

Anyways, so you bring that floppy over and you feed it to whatever machine. That machine binds each account with a redeem code. Then those codes goes out the proper channels.

I'm just interested in what data format, how universal those lists are..etc going between various offices and departments. I'm guessing this was all set in stone even before PSN was switched on. I want to know stuff.

If the key we got today isn't working could that be related to being in the private test?

Well I played for about 1/2 hour, my thoughts.

  • Why was it 10 on 1 for vs mode? We were running around looking for something to shoot. Something is broke?
  • Co-op is just a pile of mobs in an area next to your spawn point? Like 40 of them? We lost every time, there is no scaling for smaller parties?
  • Graphics were.. muddy. Not good, colors were good, but textures were flat and the whole thing looked sub-720P.
  • Are the graphics different in MP vs SP?
  • Don't you get to hold two weapons? You spawn with one?

    from what i've played, pretty much.

    i kinda agree with some of this

    judging by the new vids, fuck yes.

I had a code lying around from when I preordered earlier in the week. I finally got off my ass and put the code in and it gave me the key right away.

Those of you with the gamestop preorders, if you haven't registered on the myresistance site, do so now!

This was a big complaint of mine during the private beta... I mentioned it on the forums and everyone tore through me saying "IT'S A BETA!" I'm hoping I was wrong, but judging by what you say, sounds about right.

    Because people left maybe? I don't know
  • Co-op is just a pile of mobs in an area next to your spawn point? Like 40 of them? We lost every time, there is no scaling for smaller parties?

    Co-op requires you to work together, if your spec ops doesn't give people ammo, no one can shoot anyone, if your medics don't heal/revive, people die, etc... Once people figure out that everyone can't go soldiers you will start winning. At least I did in private beta.

    Well from the older build I thought the game looked fine, I haven't seen the new build yet, but I don't think Insomniac went backwards with their newer build :)

    yes

Got to spend a some more time with it and I'm really enjoying it. Even with all the changes it still feels like Resistance, just a lot more refined.

You make it seem like I would know. I know there are various lists. MyRes Community VIPs, Private Beta Testers, people who redeemed a Gamestop code, people who bought Qore... we approve the templates, but there is somewhere that does the magic.

I imagine the script takes a while to run. I still have not received my code, so e-mails must still be going out.

Matchmaking may still need some tweaks, hence BETA. :)

Co-op DOES scale. You obviously aren't very good yet, or more likely, have horrible medics on your team.

SP graphics will obviously look better - you have to draw a lot less.

In co-op, you only spawn with your class weapon - as you level up, you'll unlock various secondary weapons to spawn with.
