Just played a few rounds on Teraformer...Definitely DID NOT enjoy it. Unfortunately I think I'm done with R3. I'm a big fan of the universe but there's just so much stuff coming out right now I don't think I'm going to pour a lot of time into multiplayer. That and I was pretty disappointed with the ending of the campaign. On top of it possibly going to a different developer I don't really know where the franchise is going. Don't really feel compelled to play through the campaign again for that reason.
15-20 fps. Technically playable, but in 2011, I can't really deal with it.alske said:
That was no mistake. The first time I ran Pac-man CE DX it was definitely 30 fps (in the demo). After that, it was always 60 fps.Perhaps another case of mistaken frame rate ala Pac-Man CE DX II?
I dunno man, something may be wrong with your PS3, I'm not getting that much slow down *shrug*. Maybe test some other games and see what's up?
I've seen this phenomenon on other PS3s as well. I loaded up Scott Pilgrim on a friends system and it was 30 fps (which resulted in the game running at half-speed rather than simply appearing choppy). Restarting the game cleared it up.
With Resistance 3, however, I've played a good 4-5 sessions so it's not like I started it up once and played. I've restarted it several times. It's not always bad, though. Some areas are much worse than others. That bridge scene was definitely the low point, however.

i can't say it dove down for me yet so much that I'd find it annoying but I'm almost 100% sure that you're right when you say that there is a mild slowdown when the framerate drops. Or at least a mild slowdown in camera movement or something.dark10x said:
Anyone can try this easily - just start the game and in the very first room, stand right in front of one of the oil lamps in the room, as close to it as possible, then try moving the camera around. You'll notice that as soon as the lamp comes into view, the framerate will drop slightly, and I'm almost sure camera will start moving a bit slower too. I'm pretty sure same thing happens anywhere in the game when there's frame drop situation.

I personally love the Marksmen. Hated the Bullseye in R2, but in R3 it just looks really awesome when you aim. Deadeye also very lovely.
But the real winner is the return of the weapon wheel so you can decide yourself how to kill em.

I don't remember the game hitting sub 20's, I think I may of saw it a couple of times for quite literary a second or two during say blowing up a massive group of grims at close range with the wildfire but apart from that the games frame rate seem quite 'adequate'

Must be faulty hardware, because having completed the game, I didnt see any such framerate drops.

I'll post my full impressions of the game at a later time, but this is most definitely the best game Insomniac has ever made.
That extra development time that Insomniac got for Resistance 3 really paid off! The most important thing about Resistance 3 that Insomniac absolutely nailed is that the game is pure...
FUN!
Just swapping between weapons and trying out different strategies and combinations and then absolutely destroying a platoon of Chimeran infantry is not only immensely satisfying, but remarkably fun. The quality leap between Resistance 2 and Resistance 3 is just mystifying. I enjoyed Resistance 2 (it had a fair share of ups and downs), but Resistance 3 is just one of the most well made, highly polished, intelligent and most all FUN games I've played in a long time. I also give praise to the reduction in scope for the game; it seemed to have really helped the team kind of focus more of the quality as opposed to pushing the boundaries. Kudos to the team!
Hey, James Stevenson? Make sure that the team knows that they crafted one of the most fun games I've ever played! Great job, Insomniac!

Although I really want to play co-op with someone not on my friend list... 'cause only one person has it and he most definitely isn't ready to tackle Superhuman with me. Sad panda...

I just got my review copy and started playing it, but... but... it doesn't have network pass ;; time to expend 10 i guess
From what i saw i can tell that the graphics are nice and very detailed, but they'd be much better with HD,

Just installed my Special Edition R3 only for it to fuck up my PS3 system.
Downloaded the patch with no problem, and then the game started to install onto my hdd. Unfortunately it decided to hang while installing the trophies. Which required me to do a hard reboot of my PS3.
On restarting the machine and loading R3 I was welcomed by a black screen and a system hang. In the end the data was corrupted and I was unable to delete it which brings me to the annoying part - having to format my 320 slim and lose all my shit.
Luckily for Insomniac my Mass Effect 2 save is nice and safe on the PS Plus cloud server so I won't be jumping on the first plane from the UK to Insomniac HQ with a pitchfork.
/fingers crossed this installation doesn't hang.

Sainsburys had for £37.99 when I went in there the other day.

Same thing happened to me, just not as extreme. Was still able to access the xmb so I transferred the save data I could to an sd card D:dogmanstaruk said:

You'd think, but standing in place and rotating the camera sees slowdown occurring consistently when looking in certain directions. If it were disc reading problems it would let up, wouldn't it?alske said:
Right at the very start of the game, when you look around, you can see framerate dips. Nothing significant, but to slowdown in such a small scale scene is surprising.
I'll try the game on another PS3 when I get a chance. I'm running a fairly recent PS3 slim after my 60gb launch unit failed.

Looking for some gaffers to play some coop campaign with. I'm around the St.Louis area after meeting the local resistance squad.

I don't think I ever saw the game hit less than 20 FPS, but the people or person saying that the framerate is "steady" either has a magical PS3 or does not know what framerate dips look like.
Game is a lot more fun than the little bit of R2 I played, though. Killing enemies feels very satisfying.

Finished it today and am pleasantly surprised with the campaign. Started on hard right away with the Move and while KZ3 had a slightly better feel to it, I found the implementation to be solid enough (ADS needs some work though).
In terms of story and locations it seems that they took a good long lookat R1 and went with all parts that worked well. I really enjoyed the last chapters for that very reason.
But above all, the music really got me. While the visuals are impressive here and there, the music literally had me stop from time to time and listen to it.
I really hope that the franchise keeps on in one way. It would really be a shame if that universe wouldn't be used further - meaning that I want all the open questions answered.

Iam going to say that something is broke at your end, with the sheer amount of irrational hate the resistance series gets if the frame rate was that bad it would have been jumped on by everyone with a axe to grind by now.
I had one moment of slowdown when detonating about a dozen explosives at once and the rest was lovely and smooth.
I just encountered a bug that may affect my Superhuman run trophy, which would piss me off. I was in
and a black screen pops up saying something along the lines of "Congratulations! You have beat the game on difficult, you can now play Superhuman!" But I've been playing on Superhuman the entire second run. Is the game not registering it? Has anyone else encountered this? Did they still get the Superhuman trophy?
PA just before the bridge where you pick up the Wildfire
Well, videos prove that it isn't always smooth so it's not just me. That said, I'm still in the process of determining if things are worse than they should be on my end.dalin80 said:
You're telling me the fight with the gun ship on the bridge was a solid 30 fps for you? I don't know if I buy that.
You know what's awesome?
Question: If you look on the back of the case, (BEWARE! BACK OF THE CASE SPOIELRS FOR ANYONE WHO HASN'T LOOKED AT IT YET) there is a screenshot in the upper left corner of Joe firing at some gigantic looking Chimeran beast thing that I don't really remember ever coming across in the game. What's the deal?
When you are in the elevator in the mines and you blow up that last acetylene container in Satan's mouth and the explosion is in slo-mo. That's awesome. Also the fact that there's an enemy and a chapter named "Satan".
