Resistance 3 is the best current-gen FPS, it's completely amazing from start to finish.
It's a shame that Insomniac didn't crack it until the last game in the series they'd make
So what the fuck does "simple multiplayer" mean?

Barebones in terms of maps and modes.
So barebones and not simple. That makes much more sense. Silly IGN.
I think we all saw these reviews coming.
Honestly, I really don't get why the first game on the biggest genre, on a dual analog handheld, is coming 3 months after launch. And to make things worse it's from a C-tier developer, it has seemingly been rushed and it's lacking on all aspects.
Sony should've gotten a third party to port a popular FPS for launch. Even a Resistance 1 port would have been a better choice than this.

Would have been a great time to resurrect Coded Arms Assault for the Vita, if anything.

Agreed, Resistance 1 port at launch would have been smarter and safer (even in the hands of lower-tier developer). Nintendo seems to have learned this with the DS and 3DS as both had ports of older but good console games early in their lifespans.

Sony should be doing everything they can to make these games the best they could be. It's like they seriously don't care.

I enjoy these reviews since they break them down.

Goddamn, Sony's 1st party is a force to be reckoned with. That's a huge lineup for one year.
While I usually dismiss the meme that "Nintendo puts their console teams on 3DS [and Sony don't]", this is a clear case of Sony playing loose with an important franchise. Nihilistic is a team who never made even a decent game. It doesn't bother me that Sony gave Uncharted to Bend because Bend had already proven themselves. Sony's not showing much confidence in the Resistance franchise letting such an undistinguished team work on it.

While the 2 at Destructoid seems pretty harsh, at least he breaks down why - that last review posted seems to criticize nearly every aspect of the game from the story, graphics, sound and terrible AI then says "if you're a die hard FPS fan, definitely pick this up!".
Game sounds dreadful. Will wait for GAF impressions before making up my mind - I was super hyped for this but it seems like it falls flat. And with Gravity Rush around the corner...

So you just ignore the first part of the reivew.

No, I read it. I just got the impression from the rest of the review as a whole that the game is really sloppy and feels unfinished. He says the graphics in the levels are bland and boring, the sound is awful, the game is short and the AI sucks. Anyway, like I said I'll await impressions on this forum before deciding on the game. I'm loving the shooting parts of Uncharted - a FPS would be really cool.
I'll no doubt get hyped up in a moment of weakness
Just played the first 10 minutes. I actually felt it was decent so far. The aim is a bit sensitive so i may turn it down a but if I don't get used to it. What the fuck is with the cutscene videos? Guys, they look like they're running off YouTube on a smartphone in 2006... The compression is absolutely fucked.
I have no comments about the story/audio though, because I was playing it on mute.

Get it cheap, because outside of one extremely good chapter late in the game I found it all to be a bit dull.

I wish the game situation on the Vita wasn't so shitty, but as a Lumines fan I'm still pretty happy with my purchase. If I wasn't a Lumines fan I probably would have sold it by now (or possibly never bought it).
Wipeout 2048 just dropped to $20 at Walmart, I'm waiting for that price on PSN.
Will do. If its much better than 2, it's worth my 15-20 dollars.
It's awesome, so you won't regret it.
wipeout, rayman, uncharted, and hot shots have made it worth it to me. no buyers remorse
Sweet. I guess I know what my next Vita purchase will be.

lol.
oh, even ign gave it a low score? If Greg Miller gives a sony exclusive a 5.5...
And people picking up the game here, don't spew silly excuses like "no games to play for like 2 weeks until gravity daze/MGS hD". Man up to your decisions on buying less than amazing games!

No excuses here; watched some gameplay videos and thought it looked fun. Hopefully I'll enjoy it.
I don't think anybody needs excuses. Personally, I have fabulous wealth and buy everything.
No shipping notice on my copy of Resistance.
Same. Amazon fail. Still, I don't buy dd so gotta wait.
Same. Fuck fuck fuck.No shipping notice on my copy of Resistance.

Do you both have release day shipping?
That would be Conan.
Have to say these reviews are even worse than I expected, I'll try the demo but it looks like I'll be saving my cash.

I actually didn't order at Amazon. Grabbed for $20 from Future Shop. Thanks to a nice Gaffer I got a good deal. They usually ship for release day but I received no notice and there was no holiday in Canada so they have no excuse. :/
I got mine in the mail from futureshop today! Weird. I wish they were more consistent.

Oh ok. I thought you ordered from Amazon. my bad.
They don't give pre-order bonus, right? Didn't get anything, expect the game.
Few minutes into gamplay. Looks like shi*, plays quite smooth. No screenshots...hmmm
Can't connect to PSN, though oO
Thank god I paid $4 for that...
