Anyone else notice the 'text' that occasionally pop ups during the single-player portion of the game?

Can't remember exactly what they said, but it was something to do with 'experience points' if I'm not mistaken...

Anyone know what the hell that means?

Maybe I should read the instrction manual...

;)

Got about 400 more kills this morning and about 15 sniper ribbons. EXP still seems totally wonky. I've gotten about 1200 kills the past day and like... 900 exp maybe. This isn't even including some heavy updates to my official stats.

Also, just by looking at a friend's stats that recently started playing... they aren't updating yet. Seems all these stats are from some time ago.

Press start, select extras, then select Skill Points. This occurs when you satisfy certain conditions in-game. This has been present other Insomniac games like Ratchet & Clank.

I would imagine it was the unlocking of some skill points.

lunlunqq, you are a god or something ? How can you *%&**@@# rake up 27 kills in one of the games when everyone else in the team scored 9 or fewer ?

Thanks for the session. I know the other team-based game types better now. I was thinking for Meltdown, some teams seem to gather together about X minutes before the end and charge from 1 node to the other. That way they don't have to spare extra resources guarding the captured nodes.

Also even after I joined team Tango, I don't seem to spawn beside you guys. The menu always say press ^ to spawn and I end up right at the beginning. :(

hehe, that's my style. i always like to rush to the enemies by myself. so i usually have either very good games or very bad ones.

EXP definitely not updating correctly or in as timely a manner as the stats (which are still going pretty slow to be honest). It just gave me another 100 kills and some ribbons and my EXP didn't move an inch.

I've been playing for 2 weeks. For the official status it says I have played 2 games, and 0 for unofficial. WTF?

Seems like it recorded my first two games, and that's it.

Are the stats working at all for anyone else right now?

Edit: The only thing it seems to be recording is Ribbons.

I just got another 400 kills with no EXP :/ Hopefully it will catch up. I recall when the game first came out it would often record kills but you wouldn't get the EXP until much later... perhaps this is the case here as well.

Just by tracking when it gives me sniper medals I can tell they still owe me many thousands of kills (I've gotten about 2k today)

Good game Safe Bet. I just played a CTF and has it always been that you can't score unless you possess your own flag? Of the little ctf that I have played I thought that was not the case. Literally, for 10 mins I was in my base doing nothing while the opposing flag carrier was in his base doing nothing cause we couldnt score. I hope the stats update soon cause this is getting kind of weird.

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong here if somebody could help me out. I've been playing off and on since I bought the game yesterday. The only thing that's updated on my Character Sheet has been three of the three kill medals. Though I played one game last night where I had five snipers and a bunch of headshot kills. I heard the stats were taking longer to upload, but is it taking this long? It still shows I have zero kills and zero games played.

The GripShift demo doesn't have online multiplayer, although high scores from the demo do get logged on the "full version" online leaderboards.

Hey Mario, since you're in the Resistance thread, what do you think about the gimped buddy list? Do you expect future games to use the XMB Friends List properly?

Hey JS, I'm still a bit curious as to why Hale has Cpt.'s bars on his collar as opposed to Sgt stripes. Was he originally intended to be a Cpt?

Its unfortunate, but to be expected given it was a retail launch title (development libraries approaching launch are not always where you need them to be, especially with retail lead times).

I don't expect it to be much of a problem for titles from here on in, excepting those that have been in code/feature lockdown for a while.

that's good. I was so relieved playing Ridge Racer for the first time and seeing my friend's list show up.

next on the wishlist: a unified way of sending invites

Heh, funny that you noticed. Those bars aren't actually captain bars in our universe, every US soldier in the game has them on their collar (gotta love the game being in a different universe!).

But I do remember a couple frantic e-mails when we were close to gold about those bars when someone noticed them on Hale.

Can someone please post the US New Campaign save? I read in another thread that it was here. I have a JP PS3 and would like to have the hero stuff and what not, but I am not sure how to go about it. Any help would be appreciated

Okay, so I just got this game and played the first two chapters of the campaign and a few MP matches.

I must say WOW. I haven't been this into a FPS since Marathon Infinity. Multiplayer is nice, even over Wifi, no lag or framrate drops (looking at you Socom).

Is the single player campaign worth it? Cause the multiplayer is just so addicting. Love the 40 player action.

If anybody is up for some online play just msg me! Though I don't have a proper mic yet. Will look into a BlueTooth headset.

Did you get your pants (from the thread you made 2 days ago)?
Good thing you listened to all the GAFers who told you to get Resistance, eh?
Resistance > pants...

And yes, definitely play campaign mode. If you think you're a pretty good player already, play it on Hard then Superhuman. Otherwise, Normal, then Hard. I also ignored campaign mode at first, only playing a bit of it, focusing most of my playtime on online MP. But once I played campaign, I realized this is truly a 2 headed beast of a game.

I was on earlier today but I can't find anyone. So I played some ranked games, I can't seem to get more kills than deaths, it's pretty much 4k/4d every damn round. T_T

Wow. Nice job, Wollan. That took a lot of effort and is much appreciated. For the record, I am no longer Great Poster on NeoGAF. I decided to change my screename so it reflects my PSN ID and XBL Gamertag (Z Y) to make things easier around here. I'd like to get in on some Resistance action soon!


Thanks! :)

Naughty Dog and Insomniac used to share engines (jak/ratchet). Any chance that ND will make a FPS using this engine?
Click to expand...

They shared some code (took a look) between R&C1 and J&D1 but not much after that. SCEWWS have great focus on sharing tech this gen and as far as I've read Insomniac has sniffed on some of that Sony love this time as well (though still remaining independent and doing all themselves).

Naughty Dog pride themselves in pretty much doing everything from scratch as well (even if they do share a lot more this time) so you won't see the Resistance engine or any other Insomniac engine being used by them or visa versa. And personally I don't think they are doing a fps (my guess is that they are working on another J&D game besides their Bermuda Triangle game).

Nice job, Wollan. I'm gonna add... EVERYONE... does a USB keyboard work with the PS3? Don't know why it wouldn't, but I don't have one to try.

Hmm. I guess the infinite ammo isn't all bad, as it was actually kind of fun in the Meltdown game I just played. Seems more acceptable in smaller games.
