Yeah that's it. I also thought i heard somewhere else that it was actually coming next week but I could be wrong. Maybe from the psblog podcast?

It's probably something on my end. I have to run my ps3 via optical through a DAC to my old ass receiver. It's just funny because this is the only game I've noticed sound issues in (With one weird thing in UC2 that im chalking up to a glitch since it only happened once).
Well, I'd assume if it can happen in MP, it can happen in SP, so it's probably not your audio set up.
Got this on black Friday and started it last night. It's so much better than Resistance 2. My biggest issues I have with the game are the super low FOV and everything in the game looks low res. I even checked on my TV to make sure it was getting a HD signal from the PS3 and it said 720p so I guess it's just the game.
Yea, the game sacrifices resolution for some very awesome particle effects and motion blur.
Some of the effects in the game really are great.
Opened my shiny new copy of Resistance 3 today. Jumped into multiplayer (the reason I loved R2) so much. Ended up wanting to throw the stupid game in the garbage. (I won't, but.)
Why the f**k did they take out the game browser?! FFFFFUUUU! RAAAAAGE! You know what was nice about R2? I could jump on, find a game that interested me, jump into it, and have fun. Now, I've got to deal with the "quick match" BS. For lord's sake developers, your quick match options aren't nearly as useful as you seem to think.
This was 90% of my time spent with with R3 today: Look for a Team Deathmatch game, end up in a room alone. Look for a Team Deathmatch game, end up in a room alone. Look for any type of game, end up in a room alone. Sit there waiting for somebody to join, one person does after like two minutes, then they leave. Search for any type of game again, find a room with four people, sit there waiting for a minute or two, half the room bails. Look for a...
In like 10 minutes of trying to find a game, I was successful once. In R2, I would have brought up the game browser, and been in and playing in like 30 seconds.
Thanks Insomniac.
That said, the one stage I did get to play was mind-bendingly gorgeous, to a level R2 never, ever was. For that reason alone I want to play R3 - it's just going to be a huge pain in the ass to do so.

Man, I could not agree with you more. Them taking out the custom game browser was as stupid, if not more so, than taking out their co-op mode. Cannot begin to understand their thinking there.

It's the trend I guess. I will never understand why it is a trend or why would anyone just keep matchmaking but I either have to dealwithit.jpg or stop playing online games. Fuck.

So, as a fresh PS3 owner who is interested in some alien butt-kicking. How should i get started with this trilogie? Is it ok to jump right to the third one?
This has a lot to do with these titles having smaller online communities, and if custom games were an option then the ranked matchmaking would be a ghost town.
I'd say yes actually

I think that any server browser that had the ability to sort the servers / rooms by game type and number of players would be better than matchmaking, not matter how small the community is. Like I have said before, I was playing Wolfenstein on PS3 about 2 weeks after it came out, it had 17 players online (worldwide!) and I got into a match in less than a second because of the server browser.
I'd say yes. Of course the first 2 are cheap as hell now, so you could start with 1 and then play the third. I liked the SP on 2 but not many are fans of it, but the COOP MP makes up for every fault that game had. I don't know if there are any players on it anymore but it's worth a try.
Just bought this. Now waiting to arrive.
It was between this and Modern Warfare 3, but I'm not touching MP anyway, so what the heck, I went with R3. I love me some Resistance (one of the few people around here that liked R2). I even liked the PSP game, which was surprisingly awesome.
Hope I don't regret. Eventually I'll buy Modern Warfare 3 too, and Rage after that. Can't wait to see which one is the best.

I'd buy the Twin-box (Contains both Resistance 1 and 2) aswell, since the campaign of the game is really good for a FPS..
But that is only backdrop in the third game. :-/ You can play it as a stand-alone experience.
Simply skip the second game.

Man, it's a real shame this doesn't output at 1080p. Aside from the lower resolution (and lowres textures) this is a pretty great looking game. The lighting is often really impressive and it has great atmosphere. Just hit a point in the story where it took a bit of a dark turn but I'm loving it. First ps3 game!

R3 does sure have an amazing single player campaign. It puts other FPS to shame. Great atmosphere, and brilliant weapon selection.
Which level are you at?

Personally, considering you just bought a PS3, I'd suggest watching recap videos on YouTube of the first two games, and then playing the third game. I think R3 is the best game in the franchise by a wide margin.
In fact, I don't even think watching the videos is that necessary.

Just hit NYC.
I was referring to Malikov's death. Didn't think he'd go out like that =/

The only thing negative about playing R3 first is that it spoils R2's big end game cliffhanger.
You can remove it it will just take like 1 hour+ to delete. They cannot fix it, apparently it is an OS sw bug

Yeah, but I think it's debatable whether or not it's worth playing through that game anyway, so for those who choose to skip the second game, it makes perfect sense to tell them what happened.

Did you like the village level, and jail level? I thought they were great. Malikov´s death was expected. The way he died was deserved.

I did, particularly
the jail level but "satan" was cool. Glad over zealous preacher man made it out alive lol

I loled at that part.
I found the fights in New York to be too intensive and chaotic. I loved it. You will too.

Wow, just played my first round on Mt. Pleasant and it's easily the best map in the game!

New DLC. I really hope it´s free.

Platinum Trophy: Learned to Shit While Upright Again.
A Game that has an online pass... is trying to deter the used market by off-setting it by making them pay $10 to access the online portion of it (be it by the publisher strong-arming into it)... yeah free all the way, of course that is the way
They've already added free content to the game before. And I didn't have to pay $10 to play online.
Finally tried the game in 3D this weekend and, while the effect is nice, I couldn't believe how low the framerate can get. I started from the mines section and worked up to the prison. Fighting that huge underground beast at what felt like 15 fps was pretty painful.
I did notice that performance in 2D seemed better than it was at launch, however.

Nail. Hammer. Head.
Seems so strange that the announcement is happening on Xplay at 5pm (likely PST?) and the release happening tomorrow. I like it though!

Only noticeable slow down for me was near the end. Things get really crazy towards the end of the game. They start throwing everything at you...which is kinda funny because the game still didn't really get difficult. I died around 3-4 times on normal and almost always it was because I wasn't sure where to go/where the last health kit was.
The game mode is extremely fun, sadly not a lot of folks bought it. If the GAF crowd buy's it and we set up some custom games, it'll be 100% worth it. The skins are pretty cool too.
Also willing to bet this next DLC comes with Skins as well.

Any chance we are going to get a campaign expansion out of this DLC? Because otherwise I'm not interested

Unlikely. It will almost certainly have a new Co-op mode (probably a survival mode) along with a new skin pack (most certainly prisoners).

Same here. Too bad there probably won't be any SP DLCs.

Yea, I want that Glenda skin lol.
DLC Details:
Brutality Mode - Survive waves of on-coming grims on the Seaside map (at night, hazy). Also comes with some (7) tracks from Mastadon, and I think some new Skins.
So, not co-op, but we'll see how this plays out. Should be released tomorrow. I'll post impressions then I suppose!

Edit: Also, 2-player co-op confirmed for Brutality Mode. And it's only $4. BUY IT.
