Call me ignorant, but I don't understand why common game scenarios can't be used for MP types. In addition to objective based game types like Breach and Meltdown, wouldn't it be bloody wicked to have to battle against Widowmakers or Titans in MP? Give each team the task of taking out the large scale Chimera "guarding" the side of the opposing team, or something like that. People in the know, educate me on the shortcomings of this type of scenario.
I was on IGN insider the other day and came across this article...
http://insider.ign.com/articles/753/753346p1.html
Its a grudge match between Gears of War and Resistance. Its also the biggest bullshit article Ive read in 2007 so far.
They got Jon Miller to do the article...the guy who reviewed Gears of War. And with that GoW takes nearly all the categories...and at the final end comments Jon points out:
Jon Miller: While I haven't had that much time with Resistance, it's not too different than what we've seen before.
Great idea IGN. Lets put a guy who hasnt played much of Resistance but lots of GoW and get him to write the article!
Then there's this one guy whos a total moron at the end of the article:
Brennan Ieyoub, IGN Video: Resistance is, at best, a competent science-fiction, twitch shooter. The graphics are sub-par, the music and sound effects are forgettable, and the gameplay is totally vanilla. It's overrated across the board. The killer-app-starved masses of PS3 owners that are singing the praises of Resistance are kidding themselves, and I'd go as far as to say Jeremy Dunham must've been writing his review on a mouthful of Quaaludes when he scored the game a 9.1.
...But honestly if I had one thing to say to Ted Price about his maiden voyage into first-person-shooter territory it'd be this: stick to making platformers, Ted.
...Gears of War and Resistance are fundamentally different, so obviously a direct comparison cannot be made, but in the grand scheme of things I believe people will sober up in time and give credit where credit is due. Resistance has only gotten as much press as it has because the PS3 is sorely lacking in terms of software. Gears of War is a well designed and rather original take on the shooter genre that will continue to evolve in future installments and continue to amaze us with each innovation.
BTW, the editors who reviewed Resistance for IGN are no where in that article.
Way to go IGN. Make sure to drop them a line and let them know how much they suck.

Hence why I no longer subscribe to IGN Insider. I don't know if they simply don't have anything better to do with their time, but the editors (well, the ones covering the consoles) seem every bit as obsessed with the system and games wars as the people who post on the IGN boards. That article was crap, but unfortunately that goes without saying seeing as how it is an IGN [insert console here] article.
At least give a counter-point like any professional journalist or journalism institution would. Having played Gears of War AND Resistance substantially (keep in mind, I've been a somwhat loyal "xbot") I think Resistance offers more fun. They're both different games. But to say the graphics are subpar and the sound is horrible shows true biasness. There wasn't one single game on the 360 launch that looked as good as Resistance. I'm not going to be dumb enough and say Resistance looks better than Gears, but it's still a damn good looking game. It surprisngly plays very well and the online is intense. I don't know what this guy is thinking, but he openly admits not playing much of the game. At least finish the campaign and take a couple rounds in the multiplayer, especially Breach with 40 people.

How in the hell can you call R:FOM graphics "sub par"? What the hell is "par"?

Additionally, I'm not sure if emailing IGN will have the effect you want it to have. It's become abundantly clear to me that IGN desires this "negative attention"; from the dodgy Terms of Service and moderation of the boards to articles like the one you linked to, it seems unrealistic to think that criticism, let alone outrage, would be viewed as anything but success by IGN. I know that you (chubigans) is a VIP there so I assume that you don't pay for Insider, but for everyone else, cancelling your subscription is really the best action you can take at this point. When IGN asks you why you want to cancel your subscription, point to articles like this one.
Game face-offs like this are rarely about anything more than generating page hits. One game has to come out on the ****-end of the stick to generate some controversy.
But, you know, read between the lines: The only way they could get RFOM to look bad in the comparison was by getting opinions from people who had barely played it.

I think the reviewer is so biased. What can I say. They forgot to mention that the Gears Of War is Gears of Glitches. I haven't found any glitches in Resistance yet.
Crackerman16 said:
LOL, yes, Resistance > pants. But I still need them. Only have 3 good pairs.
I think I'll go get a pair today.Wollan, you forgot to add me! The lovable gaffer.
I have no time to be part of a clan. But let me know if you guys are starting up a match.
Bad_Boy, I added you twice but you're not on my list. Are you ignoring me?
I don't have the game but let me suggest two times for people to start to meet up regularly:
Tuesdays 8pm PST
Saturdays 7pm PST
Sundays 7pm PST
If people can start to meet up at those times (if the opportunity is there) then I guess you can get something going. The first one (whoever) to come online can put up a game called neogaf with password believe.
Just meet up at those times whenever you can and the ball should start to roll.

Is the infantry combat in this game as good as Battlefield 2's combat system? Is it possible to take cover, snipe etc? or is it just run and gun like Half life 2 death match?
First this IGN nonsense, then I see Edge has decided to give it a 'clever' (clever like Eurogamer) review of 7.0.
I'm close to killing someone.
Edit: IGN: < The point is to let editors who are knowledgeable about the individual titles argue in favor of one or the other. This Grudge Match has a unique quality in that both of these games have been developed as system sellers for their respective consoles.>
Amazing they could include 2 glaring errors within such a short distance from the opening word.
1. How would someone who hasn't <had that much time with Resistance> qualify as "knowledgeable about the individual title" any more than say, your next door neighbour who popped over for half an hour to drool at your PS3 running on your brand spanking new HDTV?
2. Resistance was not "developed as a system seller". It was developed because according to Ted Price, Insomniac took the (somewhat brave) decision to have a go at doing the definitive console first person shooter, a genre Price clearly loves and believed could make shine given the possibilities the new PS3 hardware would offer. Hence you saw next to nothing about this game until E3 when Sony suddenly realized they had a potential monster hit on their hands and pushed it to the front of their queue as their 'flagship' launch title.

Gears is par... duh... if it's not Gears, it's garbage... guess you missed the memo to the videogame media industry...
That IGN article is one of the most terrible things I've ever read... it's just bad on so many levels... but I don't care... I'm just gonna continue playing what I believe is the best online gaming experience so far this gen... and that's R:FoM...
By the way... I'd love to play in the clan as well, but in 2 weeks from today, I'm leaving for training that I'll be away for 6months... sucks... maybe when I'm back...
