Yep, sounds like a good move to concentrate on graphical effects which are the weak spot of the console just to deliver an C+ looking game. That's serious developing talent right there. Sorry, I don't see the point you are trying to make.

Nah. More like: Okay we want to go more for atmosphere. So fog, wind and all the works. How do we do that on the ps3?

I keep forgetting the art scheme/style they went for. Chromatic something.

You're determined to say, that if a developer doesn't go for 1080p, it's because they aren't good enough.

Look up, next time you play uncharted 1. Different developers have different strategies.

Dude. Play the game first before making bold claims like that, and no, the beta doesn't count.

I knew it was like that in Resistance 1.

R1 splits horizontally if you play on a 4:3 TV, but it splits vertically in widescreen. R2 always splits horizontally as if it's 4:3, and R3 (apparently) does the same.

It appears it could be changed in RFoM, as I played it like this:

I really hope there's an option in R3 to choose between vertical and horizontal, but I fear I'm about to be disappointed.

 

[Ashes]

Woh! did not know that!

I swear I played on widescreen tv! hmm... Well, youtube video is pretty convincing evidence. So we're both right!

Hope for your sake, it is the way you want it to be. Ask J.S about it.

 

[Thrakier]

Yeah, beta doesn't count as well as the SP demo (which according to DF didn't change much). Sure. Whatever.

What is odd, I don't remember there being an option where you could choose which way you want. =/ Well, perhaps that's because I didn't need to look for such an option, as it was splitted vertically by default.

 

[Grinchy]

No impressions of the sharpshooter yet?

I have been ready to sell mine like 5 times now, but I don't want to sell it and find out that it actually works in this game. In KZ3, I can no longer get it to calibrate properly (with magnetism on or off). It worked at first, now it always drifts to the right no matter how I calibrate. When I take the Nav and Move out of the sharpshooter, it calibrates perfectly. It has to be the shitty gun.

 

[Massa]

Yeah, beta doesn't count as well as the SP demo (which according to DF didn't change much). Sure. Whatever.

Actually DF said the additional effects in the preview code compared to the boat demo added significantly to the look of the game. And they've made improvements since the preview code as well.

But hey, don't let me get in the way of your trolling. Just try not to disturb the facts or other people's analysis to support your agenda.

Really? How many questions that you already know the answer to do you plan on asking? I have no problem with negativity and dissatisfaction, but you are not even giving the game a chance. And because you have all the subtlety of a brick thrown at my head and have been posting in R3 threads with essentially the same thing for a month, it's not all that ingratiating.

 

[Callibretto]

Resistance 3 was never planned as the end of the series. Ever.

that's no excuse for

Spoiler

weak/abrupt ending, I hope it's just depends on taste and I'll find it satisfying enough, for reference, I love R2 ending, although I was getting annoyed by cliffhanger ending in many other games at the time

 

[ShinoguTakeruKoeru]

I'm back from going to the Sony Store at NYC for their low-key Resistance 3 thingie. I played through the first 7 chapters straight through in one go, and I just wanna say Wow. Now I gotta decide what store to do my last-minute pre-order through for the bonus, and beat El Shaddai during Labor Day weekend so I can get right to R3. I also got 2 different posters of the Olly Moss art, I think one is with Capelli on front and one without. Pretty sweet.

There is no option in R1. The split direction is determined by your PS3's aspect ratio, 4:3 is horizontal, 16:9 is vertical.

I'm so jealous of those posters. I really hope that Insomniac makes them available online or something because I would love to have one for my new apartment.

All the more reason why it's weird that in R2+R3 the screen is splitted horizontally on wide screen TVs by default.

 

[ShinoguTakeruKoeru]

There's still a good chunk of game left to play after all that then. That's cool. Also multiplayer, I barely seriously get into multi with games that have it, but I might give it a go for R3.

Love the design, I really wish Insomniac had a merch store so we could get that poster design on a shirt or mug or, you know, just get the poster. They've certainly got a great cast of characters that already have figures and so on.

 

[rdrr gnr]

Holy crap at the freddiew/Insomniac collaboration, it was awesome. Wonder why they didn't plug the game directly though.

What are you referring too?

Edit:Nvm I see it, nice!

 

[Kintaro]

Hmm... You said the Chimeras always shoot at you and the AI _never_ draw fire. It doesn't look 99.9% from Eurogamer's playthrough. And if you are hiding behind AI, how do you know the Chimeras are shooting at only you ?

Sigh. Believe what you like. I'm playing the game right this moment. You will do the same whenever. Also, no. I moved from one place, drawing all of the fire that was on me, to the cover the AI NPC was using. The Auger rounds went right through the wall and hit him endlessly while I exploited him to snipe/auger the Chimera back. He was a bullet sponge who did not draw fire ONCE since all mobs were on me. I exploited the system as he did not die (nor did he shoot back).

The Chimera mobs may give you more weight but I just don't think they are unaware of the friendly AI from the gameplay video. The designers have a job system and they can schedule the tasks for the AI. This may appear scripted depending on how detailed the script is.

Whatever "job system" they gave the NPCs are not visible through the ten chapters I've played so far.

But, you've been rather passive-aggressive the entire time so I'm not sure why I'm bothering to answer any of this anymore.

Whether the AI changes in a significant way when you up the difficulty level remains to be seen. You guys will figure that out. I'm not interested enough in the title to play through on Hard or Superhuman when Normal should provide good AI on both sides right off the bat.

For those asking about skill points. (Spoiler Free)

There is currency to spend on unlocks (Very similar to Uncharted 2s list of Unlocks) to use in the SP Campaign, MP Mode, Concept Art, Cheat Modes etc etc. You get currency each time you unlock a trophy.


For those that think they're quite good at fps you might want to consider playing the game on Hard difficulty. I am 4hrs 45mins into the game and at the end of Level 15 (out of 20).

Well I guess I was wrong,thats cool!

 

[Kintaro]

You know, I never checked. I wonder if you can use kb/mouse in this game? =x Does that usually have a logo/mention on the back if you can?

Just looked, doesn't mention it. Ah well, too lazy to look in the instructions. lol

 

[Loudninja]

People who have it please post you completed times, that would be interesting.

 

[Diomedes]

So the R2 style of co-op is out? That's a shame, put a good amount of hours into that and had a great time with it. Will the team based online multiplayer scratch that co-op itch since no one plays R2 anymore? May have to look elsewhere if not, waiting for Borderlands 2 is going to be much harder with nothing in between.

 

[spats]

Just beat the game on superhuman. Pretty well balanced and not too unfair but a few incredibly messed up parts. Used Move+Nav all the way.

The Move support is really good, but I really missed the twist reloading from KZ3. Also the ironsight aiming with the Move isn't really to my liking. Feels too buffered and slow or something.

Just don't take it too serious, it's only a game after all. I'm not trying to get in the way of anyone enjoying the game, at least that's not what I want. And I don't think it works this way. I hope that Insomnaic sells tons of copies so they can continue their work. I like them, especially JS. So no sad feelings, despite I'm not happy about the game so far.

I gave the game a fair chance though. Played the beta till lvl30 and the boat demo several times. I guess my hopes were just too high after they added 1 year of production time. I thought it was as polished as other top tier sony games. And then I played that beta day 1...yeah...

The question about changing the perspective for move gameplay was serious, though. I really want that. Like...really.

@Massa

I don't know where you read that. I only know this part:

There has been talk that the playable demo of Resistance 3 supplied with the Battle: Los Angeles Blu-ray is an early build and not fully representative of the quality of the final game (apparently it hails from March this year owing to Blu-ray production deadlines). This section of gameplay was also included in our preview code and while changes have been made, the overall performance level appears to be very similar. The most obvious difference between the two sets of code is the exclusion of motion blur on the playable demo - while the look of the game isn't exactly transformed as a result, it's fair to say that the effect is a really welcome addition, and adds significantly to the more gritty look you'll see in the final game.

It actually says "very smiliar". So I guess the boat demo is more or less quite representative of the final game.

 

[dralla]

I think the beta looks significantly better than the boat demo, so

 

[Nightz]

Wasn't able to score an early copy, but just got a notice that my Amazon order shipped!

 

[dralla]

it only shipped now because Monday is a holiday :[

[Pachterballs]

Well, from that Qore video it looks like it's the same as R2's split (i.e. horizontal split with black bars on the left and right). Shitty pic ahoy.

Yuck. Its 2011. I can't believe there' black bars on the screen - they couldn't sustain the framerate on full res??

 

[Rolf NB]

Same FOV as for a single player. Anything else would be cheating.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

I actually like the split that way waaaay more than most games seem to do it (square blocks on left bottom/right upper corners) I find it confusing when the other players screen ends 3/4 through my screen.

 

[Gen X]

I really hope my online pass isn't working because they haven't enabled them for PAL yet. I put in the code in the Store and just says it's either expired or entered wrong. Really want to try some online co-op.

[BattleMonkey]

Looking forward to it, but am I the only one dissapointed in them dropping the coop mode from R2? R2 was a mess but I put so much time into the coop. I like campaign coop, but for games like this I will play it once or twice through the short campaign and never again.

they need to get Eric Nylund to do a Resistance book, the man has an amazing ability at creating well thought out cannon.
