For the Aussies...... Cybershack on channel 10 just featured resistance...... Looked good watching native 720p footage on my tv but other than that it was mostly stuff we've already seen and just general, no idea speak about the game! They did tout it "the best PS3 launch game by far" though.....

TTP said:hey, how was the frame rate with all those people in such a close vicinity?
If there are 40 gaffers, you should split in two teams and gather in one spot
Dude, that frame rate didn't hitch. It didn't THINK of hitching. We had all these guys in one spot, blasting holy hell out of clock towers and pigeons and whatever else, and as far as I know, nobody saw a HINT of slowdown.
It was amazing. Several of us remarked about it, with one guy going, "The POWER OF CELL!" Hahaha.

It really was impressive. If you ever have played Rockets on Midship in Halo 2, you would know what happens last-gen when you got a bunch of people together to blow shit up. Not this gen. The game ran as smooth as ever with all those people in the same area shooting the crap out of the tower. It was pure awesome.Kolgar said:

With more to come... Euorpean launch!
I want to apologize to a few people who requested clan invites over the weekend. I couldn't get to them before the big clan mashup (and also couldn't play in the mashup myself) because I stupidly took my home network down over the weekend and couldn't get it restarted again.
Hopefully I have everything back up and running today and can send out invites to everyone who requested one over the weekend.
Again, apologies if this caused anyone to miss the clan game on Sunday.

I know I know not a well known source but the mod over at PSU is very reliable they gave coverage and interviews at E3, so i trust this source.

i'd also like to test my skills on the battlefields of the far east...
Hey Lun,
Did you see the info. on the patch coming? Look a couple pages back, but
Wish granted, WW online play enabled in March. Somebody posted that it wasn't coming until later but I don't see how they got that out of the IGN article.

Yep, i caught it tonight. It was funny when Erin told one of the guys to stay in front of her so she wouldn't get shot and the guy replied with, thats just stupid. :lol
Anyway, the game looked a lot better than what i was expecting, i'm really excited for the game now, even more than what i was originally.
I really hope i dont suck at it though, I got sick of COD2 on the other console because i couldn't aim for shizzen.

Those Euro n00bs will have 2 months experience before you get pwned so bad.

WW Online play is slated for May, along with the new maps I believe. Gives those European noobs that we Yankees always have to help win a fight a good number of weeks of practice.

I can't believe I missed the awesome 20 Gaf rush, stupid 7am work days. All those errors joining a game around 11:30 made me think it would be better to get 5 1/2 hrs of sleep. Now I regret the extra half hr . And what's with people seeing more medals then me? I hear people mentioning medals that aren't listed like 85% shot accracy and 1000 games played.

Yeah, the only time I think I saw some slowdown was a Grimsby 40 man DM we had where everyone was in close quarters and all hell was breaking loose. And even that was only for a split second. I'm wondering how you could make the game really chug. Maybe everybody getting together and throwing air-fuel grenades at the same time. Bonfire!
So I finally managed to get me a copy and have a few questions.
Can servers disable auto aiming or is it up to the player? Is there a way to force other character models onto the enemy? I played a team deathmatch game in some forest level and I kept mistaking my guys for the enemy and vice versa.

1) It's up to the individual players, and it's not auto-aim, it's aim assist. It's not Socom PSP style.
2) Nope, everyone's got the model they've chosen. You probably experienced a Chimera vs. Chimera match, which is a new invention which I think a good 75% of the GAF clan disapproves of for that very reason. All I can suggest is getting used to looking for names over heads and/or the color of the crosshair.
Core407 said:
Auto aim would allow you to hit a button to lock onto an enemy and keep firing at them without adjusting your aim. Think GTA, or Crackdown.
Aim assist will help your crosshair stick to the enemy if you move a little, but will not do much more than that. At least, that's my understanding.

Thinks he should have been the one to kill Batman's parents.
I just played this online for the first time. It was quite good. I will play more.
I've been exiled on the Asian servers since day 1, and can't wait for the chance to test myself against people from back home. We have only enough people to support 1 unranked game at a time usually. With the international servers coming soon, has there been any talk of combining the JAP/US Clans, (too many people probably) or starting a new one?

I was wondering where you went to. You missed out on a great match - probably one of my most memorable simply because we confused the other team so completely.
Core407 said:
Personally, I hate death match. Always have, always will. I'll take an objective-based game over that every time.
I'm currently playing through this game a 2nd time on Hard and indeed, it is hard.
This time I'm messing around with the physics in the game as much as possible. It's so cool. I love blasting those little yellow orb things and watching the ensuing chaos. I also love how each scenario in the game has to be approached with the appropriate weapon. The game is a lot like Halo in that respect. The AI is actually a lot better than I remember it being as well.
Props to the Arc Charger on Hard mode. I thought this was a throwaway weapon but it actually comes in handy. It absolutely eviscerates the little creepy-crawly things. What a great game. Best value of next-gen, imo.
JB1981 said:
I found the same thing on my second playthrough. It just eviscerates those bugs. They coil up and shoot off everything. Really neat effect.
I just wish I could start out the game with all of the weapons. There are so many times I'll be playing it in the first few levels of the game and think that "it would be great if I had "this" weapon right now, it's such the perfect situation for it."
Finally finished the campaign last night. The last firefight was intense and difficult the first few times through until you realize where the enemies are emerging from in the environment and can move to the appropriate areas to get some cover.
Gonna play through it again with the new weapons, but sticking to Medium - I don't think my sanity could take trying to play this thing on Hard :lol
Now, just to find time to get into online, but with GoW2 coming out . . . urghhh, it's like a freaking gaming barrage recently.

Suggestions suggest(!) that creating parties and going into ranked games together would be the preferred thing to do for the meet ups. So no longer do the first one to get online create a room but instead invite everyone to a party. This however makes it very important that you're all a part of the NeoGAF clan (pm kaching with details, make sure you've logged on to Resistance online at least once before) or simply have all folks listed above on your friend list. Again, the first one to get online should start a party and invite the others as they come online.
Also, it has come to my attention that over 20 people have started to show up for these meetups and that means one party is not enough. If that is the case then one of you simply need to create a second party. If you're the party leader (of either) then posting your details in this thread would be helpful.
The Wedge tactic explained:
The "flying wedge" is the term given to our tendency to mob together in a violent swarm and shoot the everliving hell out of anyone who dares get near us. It leads to multiple assists per kill which leads to a 20-60% increase in points. 16 points for a kill is far better than 10!
It does not, despite its name, resemble a true flying wedge - although generally whoever is at the front of the pack will get gunned down while those behind break through and destroy the opposition. So maybe it's not completely inaccurate.
Also people, it would be a big plus if everyone invested in a headset. For headset details and recommendations, follow this link. Good group play is helped by using your headset to report in changes that occur in the heat of battle. Enemy groups, Snipers, Node status and so forth.
A great addition was made to http://www.myresistance.net on Monday Feb 5th in the form of leaderboards viewable straight from the site. It's time to get famous or die trying.
