RESISTANCE 2 - Hype Thread w/latest info

Just got my first games in (download took only 16 hours, love my isp).

Really polished and smooth running in every respect now.
And even when pressing all kinds of menu buttons and whatnot you're never slowed down by animations or unnecessary loadings etc. All so responsive and agile.

Insomniac, you have my permission to release this game.

I'm receiving errors when attempting to load my friends profiles in game, I'm assuming if this worked I'd be able to find which games they are in.

Game also needs option to fast scroll through server list like Warhawk and the shoulder buttons.

Otherwise really fuckin' impressed. I'd almost be tempted to buy this one, but I'll rent it and see how long the fascination lasts.

Just broke 50k in co-op (in one game) using spec ops. Also bought me some kinetic gloves :D .

Btw Jstevenson, what happens when you get 12/12 message briefings? aka winning a co-op level 12 times.

You can't let someone else take care of your interest. You have to take care of yourself !

I just gave my spare code to someone else this afternoon.

jstevenson you should be proud. I've vowed to never pre-order a game from EB Games again but I did today because they had a beta code. Paid for in full to boot.

Secondly, I offered my beta testing services for free during Ramadan because I was feeling generous, but I've now extended it just for this game. That's right, I'll be beta testing this game and you guys at Insomniac don't have to pay one cent for my expert insight and my all encompassing knowledge on FPS game design! :p

I'll try it tomorrow and I'll post first impressions, and then follow up with detailed impressions in a few weeks.

*sigh*

I suck at this game. It's been over a year since I've played Resistance, and I thought I was finally making some kills (thought to myself "Yay, 7 kills this game).

Then I see the boards and I'm the lowest ranker :(
Also, spawn points... they suck in this game.

Spawn points were a bit of a problem in the private beta aswell

Often you would be dumped into the centre of the action or immediately behind an enemy for a cheap and dirty (but sorta satisfying ) kill.

Hope this is fixed before retail release. But other than that the private beta was awesome imo. Release day cant come soon enough.

I would still appreciate it if jstevenson could tell me if the US releaseof R2 will be a ultilanguage release. :D

I really need to know.

uhmm start reading from post #4816.

BTW anyone gots an extra key yet?

Oh that one. Yeah, KZ2 makes it hard to go to another fps. GG really put their foot into the game, and sony, and whatever other group is in the mix.

There is no reason why you can't get both. other than SOCOM sony is really putting effort in their first party titles, kind of disappointed by lack of polish of SOCOM.

Yeah, R2 and KZ2 both could have been launched at the same day, and I'd be interested in getting them (I could wait on KZ2 though). I'm more sure about R2. KZ2 looks spectacular in videos and demos, but Insomniac ain't no joke. They know how to stuff their games with meat. Naughty dog is like that too. I can't wait to tackle the skill points and their goody rewards. Doubt KZ2 will do that kind of deep stuff. Maybe it will have normal trophies with no reward (I hope not).

Finished installing. Finally ready for later today. I'll maybe try a quick co op.

Agreed.

Just got done my last game of the night with some personal friends and like always, I had a blast with coop.

I can't believe I did 6 hours of coop on just one map, and without the full features, coop will be crack in it's full form, right now it's only a gateway drug.

What is your PSN?
 
Anybody having problems connecting to a game? I just keep getting network failed...I can't even see my friends profile. The invites don't work nor does creating my own game. Anybody having similar issues?

PSN: Jenovah....Just got done another EPIC co-op bout LOVE THIS SHIT!

Sorry about just then. I was scrambling to find the text thingy. I had on headphones, and the mic wasn't connected. That was my first time in the lobby.

Co op is very cool, and fun. At first I had no idea what was what. Then I went in a gam with just me and a medic. We made it very far. That guy was a pro. I jike the Area cure. Saved my Spec Ops hide.

I've decided to delete R2 and the game saves and try the download again through my US account and only play it on my US account. I hope this will work...

Nothing from Play for me yet, BeeDog. Got my Qore code though so Play one will be a spare.

Thanks for the update. Hopefully Play won't shaft us then.

With that said, if anyone would have a spare key for me, it would be fuck-awesomely nice. I'll then shoot up the Play key (if I ever get it) as a spare one for someone here.

:lol My girlfriend was in bed and started calling me a dork after that, I got flustered and hit the circle button and exited the game.....She's so mean :lol Dude, add me if you don't already:

Jenovah

"Hey Ploid it's me Dante!" :lol

You know after playing in competitive, I'm soooooooooooo content with being Medic/Spec-op in Co-op support roles, I just don't have what it takes to finish in the top 3, support roles are where it's at for me.

So I was looking through the co-op medals and I saw this

"Complete 300 co-op matches without dying"

..................................So how many years is that going to take?

Have a fun! Enjoy!

Barely one. If you manage to play one perfect coop game every day, that is.
