Hopefully you get it tomorrow :(

Hate to break it to ya, but you need the PSN Pass to play online (co-op included).
most of the pass programs allow for about 48 hours of "trial" online play. i take it the PSN pass is different? that kinda sucks. You should at least be able to try the online, even if you buy it used.

Whoa, thanks a ton! I will give the SOCOM deal at Best Buy a shot. Hope it's been patched, with maybe a classic map or two?

And the Amazon defense force saves a lot of money on every single game they buy all year long.

Also, I've pre-ordered at least 20 games from Amazon over the past few years and have never had one arrive late.

And that's awesome for you, not everyone has the same luck. Ive had release date delivery show up two days later =/

Did anyone else scroll over to the video part of the XMB while Resistance 3 was in the system? There are game and movie previews and freaking music videos to AC/DC and Ozzy Osbourne lollll

I just played Socom 4 and it's patched and with a code I believe you get free DLC. I didn't try it out though, because I sucked at it online. Single player was really short too.
 
I love this game. I'm not too far from the boat level that was in the demo, and I'm blown away so far. What a damn good job Insomniac has done with this game. I love it. I can't wait to play more of the campaign and also see the new maps in multiplayer. :D

Sorry about the demo, apparently something went wrong in format somewhere and it got backburnered to get 1.01 and 1.02 done for final, I didn't find out until today.

Can we expect a demo at sometime in the near future? Will probably buy anyway but it'd help push the product.

So...we won't see it for a few weeks I guess?

v1.02 is the first post day one patch ?
The one that will address one of the MP issues we reported during the beta.

game is awesome. 1 complaint maybe its becvause i play pc games alot more now but does the game seem really blurry to anyone else?

This may be because it is sub-hd, black ops looks the same on ps3.

campaign is soooo good. maybe the best of any pure FPS on consoles

also really impressed on how the guns feel

Holy f*ck, I thought you weren't too hot on the game earlier ? I remember you rented the game right ?

yea game is something special. But then again i was also a huge fan of resistance 2. I just love the feel of combat in these games.

A 656 mb patch? What the hell is this?

AAAAAAAAAARGH

I am installing it right now. The download took 13 or so minutes, and the installation is taking even longer. FFS guys. The patch is ver 1.01 for whoever asked.

I picked up the game today, and I've completed the first two chapters in the campaign. So far, it's very good, and I love the way they handled the tutorial portion of the game. The artwork and atmosphere is great--Insomniac has nailed the period.

Two complaints that I figured I'd mention:

1. The manual is rather basic and plain in style, compared to the much more attractive and elaborate manuals we were treated to with the other games in the series.

2. I'm playing using Move controls, and the control during the "zoom" mode doesn't feel right. It has way too much of a tendency to drift.

Apologies if posted:

Giant Bomb's Resistance 3 review

Edit: Ah, didn't notice there was a separate thread for reviews. Sorry.

Saw the GB live stream of the game. Second time I've seen the game (first time was some trailer a very long time ago). The story seems really interesting and the alternate fire on weapons is pretty cool as well.

.

Just isn't the money for manuals there used to be. Though wait till you see the Japanese manual, it slays.

The 3D in this game is pretty damn good...after playing a POS like Enslaved which charged $9.99 for a piss poor add-on with horrible 3D implementation, it's refreshing to see this done so well.
 
Started a campaign coop. Omg this game is great, beat my expectations x100. Cannot wait to dive more into it once I've got the time. Imo this is hands down the best Resistance well done Insomniac!

Well, I just caved and ordered it on Amazon. It'll be here on Friday ( just in time to play through the campaign this weekend). I was craving some more of the multiplayer today when I remembered that the beta was over, lol. That, combined with all the positive feedback on the single player has pushed me over the edge.

I might just not get Skyward Sword this year to balance my gaming budget. For some reason I've been feeling no excitement for that game, even though I normally love Zelda. I still need to get ICO collection, Batman, Uncharted 3, and Skyrim this year. Probably end up not getting Skyrim right away and just asking for that for Christmas.

It's tough being a poor college student, lol.
 
FUUUUU I need my fix
Seriously I started playing when I got the game, got about 45 minutes in then had to split. I need to find a way to leave early and just have all these calls come to my phone.
Serously IG, you guys are partly responsible for me finishing school and getting this job, NOW WHAT!??!

edit: ^^^^ promise land my freind. I may not actaully get any of the money I earn for years because of debt, but I'm told I'm doing really well and it's finishing school that did it.

This game is like the anti-R2. The narrative is very solid. The dialog with NPCs is often times humorous and endearing (kind of like the marines in Halo). The game doesn't try to overwhelm you with SCALE SCALE SCALE but instead goes to great lengths to add color and texture to the game world. The sets are full of little details like graffiti on walls, NPCs tell tales of their families, there is radio chatter from other lands in the US and abroad, the art direction is varied and rich with detail. It feels more like a PC shooter, if that makes any sense. Half-Life I guess. My biggest disappointment so far is not in the presentation, but in the AI and gameplay. I'm playing on Difficult and the AI is very standard fare. They seem to either stand in a position looking dumbfounded or bum rush you. I feel like I am rarely challenged, perhaps it's because I can pause the action and go to my weapon wheel ... the guns are pretty fun, I like the atomizer... so far I will say that this game is head and shoulders above its predecessors when it comes to fleshing out a living, breathing, hostile world, but is coming up a bit short in the gameplay department. I am having a good time but I wanted something a little more dynamic out of the AI

dude, your avatar... I keep thinking you are beatbox. I'll have to say yeah having SEEN the game in development a few months ago they are blowing my expectations away. I remember talking to one of the devs before community day and he was in the middle of trying to create the
corn field segment
. It's crazy how they have found the heart of the series once more and it all came together really well.

edit: Patsu lol, thanks. That's why I'm barely online anymore. I'm going to have more time in a few weeks but this is my first job ever outside of the restaurant business and it's been weird. I keep getting these big-ass checks and I can't use lol. In an few months i'll only have the student loans left and then it's time to buy an arcade cabinet!!!!!!!

Buy an "investment", not a "liability".
