Haven't played it yet, but it sounds like "yes" is the safe answer here.caligula13 said:

Are there any MP maps set in Japan or China?

Cool.
I've always wondered about Japan's side of this conflict. Japan was very militaristic back then and I could see their soldiers banzai charging chimera in the name of the emperor.

That trailer was the only impressive thing I've seen on Dead Island, and it was pre-rendered up the wazoo. The twenty minutes of gameplay on MTV Multiplayer looked like crap. I could not be less interested in that game any further. But people are into that sort of thing I guess, so more power to them.
Js whats the story behind this?

What are the impressions on the Sharpshooter? Thinking about getting it now with Resistance 3.
Wow. O_O
This game is gorgeous. I played up to Chapter 6 tonight, and I'm REALLY impressed with the visuals. The artstyle is amazing. I can't believe how much of a step up from R2 this is.
It looks great.
The gunplay is really good, too.. although, I gave up on the Move controls from the start. It seemed.. off. I'll try it again, but it just felt so different from KZ3's.

I've tried it with KZ3 and SOCOM 4 and i couldn't get it to work well. The main problem i found is having to move it so much to move the screen. With move in hand its easy to flick the screen around but with the sharpshooter you have to either move your upper body (if its braced against your shoulder) or move the sharpehooter only (if its free floating). either way i found it tiring very quickly. i spent a good while tweaking settings but i couldn't get past this problem. In the end i found using move in hand both more comforatble and quicker. that said, I'm going to give R3 a chance with sharpshooter and if i have the same problems i'll be selling it.Square Triangle said:

I've yet to try with Resistance 3, but my experience with it in KZ3 was probably the best aspect of the game. But I have to say it takes a while to get used to play with Move+Sharpshooter, but at the end is very good. Can't wait to try with Resistance 3!

Just got my copy. Region 3
It's has some bonus content for download, I think it's the stuff that people got from playing in the beta. Coolest thing though is that the cover is reversible. Real minimal with the skull logo and whatever the main guy's name is walking towards it.

Finished the SP campaing a few minutes ago. I feel that it's pretty middle of the road actually. It's not bad but it never really gets great either. R3's campaing is set up like a summer blockbuster flick: moving from one scripted set piece to the other intertwined with killrooms. That's nice and all but this game didn't really make me go "wow! This is awesome!" at any point.
It doesn't help that the story is so-so at best. I know I'm supposed to care about the plight of the people facing extinction but I just can't. Most of the people you meet come and go or are there only to push the story forward. You never really start caring about any of them. Heck, I didn't even care about Capelli. He wasn't an interesting character in R2 and he still isn't very interesting in R3 (The fact that he doesn't utter a single word outside of cutscenes doesn't really help). I was hoping to learn more about the Chimera but I guess Insomniac is happy with packing that info into intel scattered across the levels rather than incorporating it into their "go on a suicide mission to save your family and the world" story. Actually, it felt more like a road trip than a suicide mission. Capelli went on a trip across America to blow shit up and kill Chimera. Good times were had by all. It kinda reminds me of the R2 where you learn that a large human settlement was wiped out by Chimera and I guess it's supposed to elicit some kind of emotional response from you but all it did was to make me go "wait, am I supposed to care about this?" I have similar feelings about the ending. R3 just kinda ends while still leaving a gate open so Insomniac can milk the franchise further. I do have to give you props for hiring Paul Eiding to voice one of the characters in the game. Hearing "the colonel" speaking to you over radio was awesome
Now, enough of the story ramblings. Who plays FPS games for the story, right? Let's talk about the technical side of things. I do have to say that you guys did a terrific job with the lighting system in the game. It looks really great and helps mask the not-so-great textures. I think the most stand out moments of the lighting engine you have are
The particle effects are also very good. I especially loved
I'm also relieved that the game isn't a blurry mess like the beta was. However, I'm surprised you that guys didn't fix the ladder climbing animation. It looks terribe.
I suppose I should also write about about the gunplay. I'll be blunt; I feel it's light years away from being as good as that found in other contemporary shooters like Killzone or Battlefield. In those game shooting feels really good. There's a sense of weight there, a sense that you're fireing an actual gun. In Resistance 3 I feel that I'm running around with gimmicky toy guns that "pew pew" Chimera into smithereens. The guns, for the most part, sound and feel weak, and I could totally see them being included in a grittier version of Ratchet & Clank. I'd say that the gunplay in the Resistance series didn't progress past R:FoM. And while such gunplay would be sufficient in 2007, it isn't enough in 2011.
Well, that's my two cents about the campaing mode. It wasn't by any means bad but I doubt people will care about after an initail playthrough or two. I'd like to try out story co-op with my buddies but it seems that the stupid Sony online pass can't be redeemed yet. Guess I'll have to wait for the store update this week. *grumbles*

Using Ironsights with the Move is off, too. It feels kinda sluggish and it moves in a weird way. TTP described the problem in his R3 Move video.

Guess we'll just have to agree to disagree then. Sure, when R3's gunplay isn't compared to any other shooter it holds up but when going against the best it's just doesn't cut it at all.

Resistance 3 DLC in October
http://www.thatvideogameblog.com/2011/09/06/resistance-3-dlc-in-october/
Just a mode? Or extra maps as well?

Yeah, that's because they chose to make it "drag" and not "point". Maybe to keep a better balance in MP? I don't know.
I do agree that Resistances Gunplay feels "weak" in compariosn to other shooters, however I feel that this is the style of the game. I'm fine with it, it's like a Ratchet & Clank shooter game. Not every game needs to feel heavy and what not. I'm annoyed by the carbine though, that really could be a bit better. However in the beta I think the last upgrade brought a nice high pitched "clank clank clank" sound to it which made it feel more powerful. I maybe wrong though.

No, he basically ignored all questions regarding move...also regarding the perspective.

Going to have to pass then. I've read this too many times now and my days of spending $60 on "just okay" single player modes are long behind me. Games like this make great rentals, not purchases, much was the case with Killzone 3.
Sure, there's always the chance that I would like it more, but with the 2-3 other games that also released today that I'm interested in with longer playtimes and a lot more content, I'm not sure that I can justify the buy at this point. Bummer.
Gamefly it is! Still excited to play it though.

I can't wait to pick this up tonight. It's so nice to hear that the campaign was given the love and attention it deserves as I don't expect R3 to fulfill my multiplayer FPS needs this holiday season. I've always played Resistance games for their campaigns though and this one looks to have some incredible potential.
Applesauce
Boom! Bitch-slapped!
Shit, Amazon hasn't even shipped my copy and I preordered on the 26th. Release day delivery my ass!
Looks like I have to buy the fucker twice, albeit temporarily until Amazon refunds me. There is no way I'm not playing this game when I get home tonight.

I miss the BETA already. I'm gonna have to wait two weeks (at least) until I get paid to join ya'll online. Keep on killin' and chillin' for me....
Dave1988 said:
Thanks for the impressions. Totally sitting this one out it seems. I finally got around to playing the MP beta and it was basically shit all around. Horrible animations, bad envrionments, and forgettable gunplay. The genre has moved way beyond what they offer.
If the SP is what you say it is then they haven't changed much since R2. Pass.

Licorice-flavoured booze?
People are now putting down Resistance's gun-play wtf?, it may not the best of the best but it's always been good, it certainly doesn't feel "weak", unless that's changed in R3 but judging from the beta I thought the weapons felt great perhaps I'm missing something.

This is exactly what I was hoping they wouldn't do again
Still, gotta play it and see for myself
