The majority of games developed by internal Sony studios are fantastic, though. There were a few delayed games from "second party" developers that were quite terrible (Lair, Heavenly Sword, Resistance 2), but the real first party stuff is generally very good. Certainly better than what you'd find on XBOX360 from MS.Cheech said:

When I called Resistance 3 a good game, I compared it only to its predecessor. It's not a good game only by comparison to other PS3 exclusive games, it is simply a good game and that's that.
I wasn't referring to only Sony-owned studios, BTW. Whether a studio is owned by Sony or paid to make an exclusive PS3 game by Sony, it makes no difference to me. I judge them equally.
I will say that if a PS3 exclusive has blown my hair back this gen, it is almost certainly by accident (Demon's Souls and Valkyria Chronicles at the very top of that list). Resistance 3 seems to be the product of a studio that lost its footing for a couple years, but regained it when they made an internal decision to settle down and either tell Sony to get bent with ludicrous timelines or simply go back to basics. Getting rid of R2's co-op missions almost certainly helped, because the entire package seemed to suffer since they essentially were creating 3 games for the R2 package. With R3, going back to just single and multi certainly helped create a stronger product.

Played a couple mp matches this morning without any lag issues. I think leapers being a level 7 unlock was a bad idea. It's the only perk everyone is using at this point. It should have been farther down the list.
Picked up the game today when I went out to the store to grab something for my cold (home sick today). Patching it now. Not being able to justify the price for Star Fox and not being able to find a copy of Xenoblade online allowed this to win out in the end. Guess I should thank Nintendo. 
In the end I hope this sells well.

God... I suck ass at the multiplayer but it's so FUN!
In that regard it reminds me of Warhawk. I just get rocked, but I keep coming back and I'm not even getting frustrated.
The 'leaper-corpse' thing drives me nuts... but not in a bad way. It's a cool thing to add, but damn I get pissed when those little bastards kill me! :<

played until chapter 7, sp campaign is really really good so far, not just the graphics and atmosphere, I also love the combat, varied enemy combination making each encounter felt different, weapon wheel that give you freedom to play with your preferred play style, weapons are all useful so you never felt forced to use only certain weapon for certain enemy, big level that is not a simple corridor shooter, no regenerating health make combat very tense, although the game usually does provide you with health pack before big encounter so you're usually starting the encounter with full health, but during combat, searching for health pack or seeing which chimera carry a health pack so they'll drop them once you can kill them is great.
they're doing all the right thing so far.

Hopefully you're right.Loudninja said:
Does anyone else play with camera acceleration turned off? I found that the game feels so much better that way, especially when I toned down the camera speed a little as well.

Well at least they're acknowledging that it exists, that's the main thing. I didn't play the beta much, was the lag also an issue there?Loudninja said:

I tried playing the beta at least 5 times or so and I'm aware of some of the major issues that were going on but was the game laggy during the final stages of the beta?RoboPlato said:
The lag got worse the more it was open. It's funny, I was in when it was really private and there was pretty much no lag and faster matchmaking despite me not having a good connection and mostly playing with Europeans and people in California. I think the servers are just getting pounded right now.The_Darkest_Red said:

shit, im folding, im so broke, but i might go pick this up today......
The_Darkest_Red said:
Towards the end, they put it on psn, which is when I played it. And it was fine. It got laggy on the last day or so; and their explanation for this was that
1, there was day 1 patch coming, so whatever issues you had, probably already had a fix,
2, worldwide servers starting up co-ordination etc.

Didn't really think it was a spoiler considering it was the first thing shown on the cover of Gameinformer.

I was thinking the same thing.Loudninja said:

Agreed. One thing I didn't like, though, is the game saves your progress throughout the battle so if you die you start fresh but enemy health does not regenerate, so it makes the whole thing much easier. I appreciated the fact that you had room to breathe and there were various different locations to escape to. You were not stuck in a closed-off room running back and forth like R2.
I didn't see this in the OP. This is the list of what you can unlock with the Global Resistance game on myresistance.net/global. Hope the formatting isn't too bad. This list was put together on the official forums, but I narrowed it down to what unlocks in SP and MP. It lists the Accolade that you can earn and what it unlocks in R3 and in GR (XP). Hope it helps someone.
The corresponding XP amount next to each Accolade earned in Global Resistance is the XP amount you get for that Accolade in the GR game.

That's because Sony Portugal/Spain/France/etc wasn't happy paying for the localization of the games and then have their potential customers buy from the UK instead. Now the UK version only ships with English, so it's technically a different game and then DLC doesn't work.
Should be easy enough to make an UK account to buy the DLC if you really want.
