Resistance: Fall of Man - The Official Thread

tanod

when is my burrito
Sorry.

Friday, I have a date with 1UP Yours. Going all night (3 hours).

I'm really interested to see how the server updates change our games this weekend.
JS, can we expect to see new maps with the next client-side update, whenever that is?

Sorry I only saw two of you online (I think you were offline by the time I got on), so I decided to make some progress on superhuman. I don't know what happened but I feel like I'm playing alot smarter than before, not that my reflexes are better because they're still garbage, but the way I approach a level is just smarter. Like
when I was at C-3 trying to take down the stalker, I just planted some sapper globules in front of the door and it did so much damage that it pretty much made the stalker catch on fire and a couple of rockets finished it off without me even taking a hit
. Before I was just all gung-ho and charging into the fray but now I'm more methodical, at least in the single player campaign. Multiplayer online I'm still a total dolt.

Ok... I saw you guys but were too busy with work. I finished "Hard" about an hour ago. It's definitely more fun than the default mode.
No one told me about the Splitter gun, so it was a pleasant surprise.

I got online right after that. Didn't realize it was a Human-vs-Human TDM, so I got shot up pretty badly... all the while looking for Chimera. :)

I still don't quite get it yet. The two human teams are differentiated by helmet (vs no helmet) ?

Actually I don't think you can physically tell the teams apart aside from the fact that there's no name above an enemy's head and your target reticle turning red, plus you can distinguish friend from foe using the radar.

I think this is new, I've never played a ranked game like that before. Kind of weird and intense at the same time.

I played online a bit after making a bit of progress in superhuman.

Ranked Game Changes:

We’ve made some exciting changes to ranked games to give players more control and increase variety:

- Added a Team Deathmatch-only match type
- Added a Team Objective match type. This match type includes Breach, Meltdown and Capture the Flag
- Added Chimera-only Deathmatch to Free-For-All, and Chimera vs. Chimera, and Human vs. Human team games
- Team-Based match type has been retired

In addition, even though Team-Based games have been retired, your overall ranked stats will still reflect your past achievements in this match type and you will still be able to view them under your account at http://www.myresistance.net.

Ranked games will continue to evolve as we at Insomniac Games are constantly looking for new ways to keep the game fresh and fun for everyone. We're always seeking player feedback and regularly review comments, so please keep sending them. We look forward to seeing you on the battlefield!

Seems like a great update. Now all you need to add is an option to take away Nottingham and it will be perfect. I just hate that map so much though i don't mind the small Nottingham map with only a handful of players.

I haven't taken the plung and requested a join to the Gaf clan yet, I probably will soon (though no one will have any idea who I even am
Indifferent2.gif
). But on the topic of the update,

Man, does anyone find themselves enjoying Chimera only FFA more then Human only FFA? That see through vision and Bullseye are just so sweet.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that the bulleye is LETHAL now, maybe it's just mee but it seems more accurate and has a faster rate of fire since the update. Chimera FFA Bulleye spam fests are so awesome fun.

Nice change to matchmaking...

It's starting to look like Insomniac aint playing about becoming a premier Next Gen Developer...

Hint: Next Gen = PC Gaming Features + Console

Ouch ! I'm partially colorblind. It takes me a while to process whether something is red, green or something in between. As for names, sometimes it can be confusing when your comrades appear near (or some distance behind) the enemy. I was staring at the radar but the opponents are just faster with all those capability above.

No biggies, I'll find some way out.

So I'm officially under a Blizzard warning from 6PM tonight to early afternoon tommorrow so yeah, I think I'll be able to make the game tonight. :)

I would've played last night but the day before really ticked me off. I'm so use to playing with gaf that when it was just me and Safe Bet it was really just me and Safe Bet. One game we played had our whole team running around shooting cars in a TDM. Another game everyone quit on us, and another saw people shooting barrels with us next to them. And Chimera vs Chimera makes my kill/death take a dive every time I spawned I was tagged. Next patch needs to make tags come off easier you're even dead or about to die when you get one off.

Standard meet up times (for whenever you have the opportunity):

Tuesdays 6pm PST

Saturdays 6pm PST

Sundays 6pm PST

(Monday Jan 29th: Times adjusted slightly in favor of the ESTeemed)

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.

This is where the challenge is, because SCE in each territory runs its own servers. The territories have their own testing requirements and such, so it can take time for them to roll out changes. We do provide them with the updates though.

ugggh. Though the game itself (SP campaign) does nothing for me, I guess I should try it online to see what the fuss is all about.

Press <select>, L1/R1 to the Clan "tab" and Send a PM to one of those in the game. Their group will add you.

I'm banned from Resistance today. So I can't go in :)
But I'm in the Clan tab... there are > 20 GAF folks in there right now.

Ah thank you very much :) But is there a way to speed things up it's almost 3-4 months since the patch has been released.

How come I'm not seeing any "good game tonight guys"? I was only on for a little bit earlier.

Good games tonight. :) I didn't play a whole bunch tonight either.

I, like most other people, will either post something tonight or tomorrow. Can't wait to see that thing we did. :lol :lol :lol


Sorry to hear Patsu. I also have to be wary of potential wife-bannings as well. :)
Good luck with that. I just remind my wife how much she reads books and watches TV. Those are things she likes to do. Games are something I like to do. No difference, I tell her. It seems to work for me.

EDIT: Ice storms suck. I totally need to get a generator for my PS3. :D

That thing is either going to suck or be decent. Depends on my skills. I'll know shortly. Have to say though, the first time was funny as hell.

BTW: my wife is getting a little peeved with my Resistance gaming. I don't play much, but she wants more attention. I might not play Sunday night. :(

My idea was to try to get as many GAFers on as we can though, so this should be just a test run. Don't post it, please. Just PM the guys who took part.

Should we try for tomorrow night, and just say to those who don't know what we are talking about that "we have something special planned" and to "be there or be square"?

I don't want to over-hype the idea, but it would be really cool to have a huge group to participate. I think it should earn us some crawlers over at MyResistance at the very least...

I was trying to figure out what to do, so I'll go by what you've suggested.

I'm not sure who was participating at the time. Here's my partial list:

Aeon712
SleazyC
BigE
m3freak
Kittonwy
HijoDelLocoRoco

That's it. I'm pretty sure there were ten people though. I may have even got this list wrong. Anyway, can the guys who were playing that 10 man custom deathmatch on the ship deck tell me who the hell I'm missing?

I was there too, you bastards. :p

Tonight may be a little difficult for Operation Cluster (Oscars are tonight), so perhaps we should aim for next weekend.
