Me and Efertlis just fixed our accracy in some games with Chryz. Resistance felt so fast when I entered a dm that I went 25-12 and finished in 2nd cause I suicided . If I didn't start the match 0-3 cause I couldn't aim straight I would've won .

 

[tanod]

Oh nice job on the roll call, but darn it you recycled the picture!!!

I wasn't THAT ambitious. I'll be on around 11EST or so. Maybe a bit earlier, it depends on when I get back from where I'm going.

hehe, that last "Cebs" guy, got really pissed and send me like 10 messages after our little "foursome" ... his idea of "don't quit" was one-by-one and not our little "group rape" :lol

European territories should get them shortly after the US launch

"Shortly" ... :/

you'll also be able to drop a dime on cheaters and glitchers to an in-game moderator with the report option

yay

If you repeatedly can't finish ranked games, either by disconnecting or quitting out, you'll be barred from joining another ranked match for a certain period of time. It starts at zero, but increases depending on your "did not finish" percentage, and can reach up to fifteen minutes.

OMG yes !

Also, very importantly, look for some upgrades to team play. Teammates' names will be more distinguishable, so all of you human vs. human deathmatch players won't accidentally shoot at your own squadmates. Besides adjusting teammate names, Insomniac's online team is also incorporating more skins (and more distinct ones, to boot) so that again, you won't accidentally shoot at your own teammates, or worse, not shoot at an enemy who looks like he's on your squad, leading to the taste of armpit-flavored rifle butt

Nice !

However, for those of you who enjoy ranked Chimera vs. Chimera team deathmatch insanity, get your jollies in during Memorial Day weekend, because that option is going out the window come patch time.

Meh... why ? :/

Mercifully, for many, you'll also be able to integrate your PSN pals into your Resistance buddy list.

Very nice. I guess lazy folks and trolls will just stfu now


Maps look nice too. Has a price been announced yet ?

Huge WTF Why moment if they are keeping human vs human.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Yeah I have a headset and hdtv so I'm good to go. 5.1 sound too. Good times.

 

[patsu]

I hope it means they are rotating human-human and Chimera-Chimera in 1 game.

You can now not only mute voice chat from some jackass, you'll also be able to drop a dime on cheaters and glitchers to an in-game moderator with the report option, who can spectate the game, watch said person, and take appropriate action.

Heh heh, Stalker in MP confirmed.
Do it !

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Five minutes to GAME TIME!

...screw it, I'm logging on right now!

 

[Aeon712]

I hope it means they are rotating human-human and Chimera-Chimera in 1 game.

I've been hoping for that since they started same race wars since you get nothing new the second round.

 

[Big-E]

Wait for me I am coming on.

Hey Kaching,

I sent you a pm but I just wanted to let you know that here too... my PSN username is "TeamVernia" without the space. Sorry about the confusion. Which room are you guys all playing in?

We'll have a party. If you're logged in, we'll invite. I'm getting on in a couple minutes, see all of you guys then.

 

[Remy]

I would guess that Chimera/Chimera is going out the window because unlike Human/Human, they can't mess with the skins as easily?

(see my bitching god knows how many pages back about everyone looking the same in Chi/Chi games)

 

[Aeon712]

Argh, checked myresistance and my k/d is at 1.199,now I'll have to do a ffa in the morning to get my 1.2.

Hahahah. Good times. He sent a message calling me a Laark Whore - I didn't use it more than 4 times on him in two rounds. Another sucker for my ignore list.

Here's videos of the new maps -

Noooooo, it's so action packed and ruthless ... I love its insanity

 

[Beatbox]

Noooooo, it's so action packed and ruthless ... I love its insanity

I agree. I like it way more than human vs human.

 

[Raist]

Hmmm, this may be a stupid question but, does the map pack contains the updates too ?

Or will the patch be separated and free, and only the map charged ?

 

[Cold-Steel]

Human VS Human is the pits.

Chimera VS Chimera at least has a bit of an edge to it.

Human VS Chimera is where it's really at, though.

 

[ChryZ]

Or will the patch be separated and free, and only the map charged ?

The patch will be free and mandatory like all previous patches. The maps will cost a few bucks.

 

[womfalcs3]

The map pack will be $7.99. Ted Price had to justify why the pack costs money... can you believe it? If I were a developing company, I'd charge for them too... as all do. Since when did Gears of War get free new maps?

He had to go through how the online play is free, and how all the patches and new modes they've added and will add are free.


I think it's sad that a considerable amount of people are complaining about paying for optional packs.



I for one will be picking it up. I paid 8 bucks for a 1-dimensional game in flOw... this pack is well worth it.

 

[TTP]

Nice they added a Purchase option within the game so that you dont have to go to the Store to get the map pack.

 

[Kittonwy]

Huge WTF Why moment if they are keeping human vs human.

Damn I'm actually decent at chimera vs. chimera (being chimeras with bullseye for two rounds instead of one is huge for me), I just tag and shoot when I see red, oh well...

 

[Wollan]

8$ is too much for two maps. They should have priced them 4-5$. Resistance owners will still buy them but it's too much. For 9.99$ I would expect a five map package.

 

[Doom_Bringer]

maps should be free. It's just what the 1up guys were discussing yesterday, you pay for the game and the content should be free.

That's true... for Motorstorm.

 

[Doom_Bringer]

Looks like the snow map got downgraded. There is barely any snowfall at all...

 

[Raist]

Additionnal content requires additionnal time and work, so I think it's normal to pay for decent DLC.

In the case of RFoM, they've already made so much free additions that paying for 2 maps seems fair to me.

 

[TTP]

Intensity seems to change from time to time. There are spots in those video were you can see snowfall A LOT. It even rains from time to time.

Colors are all ****ed up in those videos btw. At least the QT ones I downloaded. Everything is blue, even explosions.

Have you played Battlefield 1942? The game was patched many times and all the maps (Coral Sea, Invasion of Philippines and some other map) were totally free.

They made two add on packs (Secret Weapons and Road to Rome) and those retailed for about $30 and had at least 5 maps plus new gameplay each.

Charging $8 US for two maps without any gameplay changes like vehicles or something is lame

 

[Raist]

Colors are all ****ed up in those videos btw.

COMPLETELY yeah. What the hell have they done

Have you played Battlefield 1942? The game was patched many times and all the maps (Coral Sea, Invasion of Philippines and some other map) were totally free.

Well yeah, you'll always find exceptions. Like MMO's which are free while others require you to pay a monthly fee AND pay for addons. Etc.

I'm just saying that since I got the game for 60€, so far they've improved the game a LOT. Fixes, enhancements, new game modes, new options (and more soon with the new patch). Now they're gonna charge 8$ for two maps, yeah. If you consider this money is ONLY for those maps, it seems to be expansive. Personnaly, I consider to pay a bit more for a better game.

They made a GREAT game and there's an excellent support so far, so I don't mind to pay for those maps. Seems fair considering the huge excellent work they did since the game was released.

 

[Doom_Bringer]

Whatever, I think they should be free. Anyway those videos look black and white to me. Worst capturing equipment confirmed. Any other site have better quality vids?

 

[TTP]

Any other site have better quality vids?

Was wondering the same
But sadly I dont think it's Gamespy fault. Video interview looks fine when they show Insomniac people. Goes to B&W when game is shown. I think someone ****ed up at Insomniac since they probably are the ones who recorded those videos.

Anyways, I was looking at the changes coming with the ww servers and read this:

The Clans

About the clans. If two clans have the same name, then the non-U.S. clan gets a region appended to their names. That means that for example 'Agents of Doom' in EU becomes 'Agents of Doom Europe' or something like tha, but the American 'Agents of Doom' remains the same.

Now THAT'S RACIST! What if my European clan is called "**** YOU" (just an example. I know this isnt allowed anyway due to profanity filtering)? Would it read "**** YOU EUROPE"? I wouldn't like that.

 

[TTP]

Ah didnt notice this before

SCEA reminded us that it's really more that you'll also be able to access your PSN buddy list directly from the Resistance lobby. Our bad.

God yes!

 

[ChryZ]

That's true... for Motorstorm.

Exactly! Motorstorm was very barebone to boot ... yet full price, but

Resistance is awesome value out of the box: SP, MP (free dedicated servers, free stats tracking and all).

With all the fun, that I've already squeezed out of this gem, I'm more than happy to invest additional 5-10 bucks.

 

[Doom_Bringer]

jNow THAT'S RACIST! What if my European clan is called "**** YOU" (just an example. I know this isnt allowed anyway due to profanity filtering)? Would it read "**** YOU EUROPE"? I wouldn't like that.

:lol :lol

that would be the worst clan name ever

They have already added new game modes and maps for free. Dedicated Server Online Gaming is free. In-game moderator is free. It seems more modes may be added for free in the future. Personally, I think it's ok they charge for the maps. They are dynamic anyway, so I expect each of them to be big.

(Posting this from PS3)

 

[calder]

I also think 4.99 would be pretty fair for 2 maps, if they have to charge for 2 maps at all.

Maybe I'm bitter that I had $9 in my wallet and spent most of it on Jumping Flash on thursday just to see what the PS1 smoothing options looked like. :lol

Well, to be fair, it's not just two maps. It's two HUGE maps whose layout changes depending on the number of players (and game modes, to some extent). I think a fair degree of extra work goes into map design if you keep that in mind.

Besides, they are adding new skins with the FREE patch.

For such a limited installed base, I think 8$ for two maps is a good start. This is not the PC market. I'm confident prices will go down (or more content will be offered for the same price) in the future.

 

[Aeon712]

The amount of time I put into Resistance justifies the price of the maps(2maps, but 8versions). Also the fact that both of them will support 40players means less mofo Somerset in the rotation. Question would the people complaining about the price rather have waited for Insomniac to realease the maps along with the game modes for the price? Almost wish they would've charged 3.99 for both maybe people wouldn't complain.

What if half the people in our party has it, and the other half doesn't? We'll probably get the same rotation.

Looks like they will have to form their own party some nights

 

[Angelcurio]

Thi big problem with the new packs is that a lot of us arent still able to buy them since we cant use our CC on the ps store, and sony still hasnt released the PSN cards, so when those maps are finally available, we will be ****ed up.

They should at least let you put money on your wallet via playstation.com using your pc

 

[Bookey]

Ill be back on resistance when new maps hit, hope to see you all guess i should get back into game shape and get my shot back so i dont get raped lol
