PSU: Evolution of Resistance

PSU Writes:

"Developed by Insomniac Games, Resistance 2 is on its way to be one of the biggest exclusives released on the PlayStation 3. Being the third title to release from Insomniac, we'd like to take a look at the evolution of the game's graphics since its beginning. The first photos compare images from the first build of Resistance known as Project I-8, and lead up to the first new screenshots of Resistance 2."

Relcom6565d ago (Edited 6565d ago )

Insomniac kicks a$$. Their graphics engine has some serious beef to it. Everything is crisper, defined, full of color, and very well detailed. Its like the jump from SD to HD. AND its not even done yet. . .

zambrota6565d ago

lifelike graphics with 60 player multi and 8 player coop

hail the power of the CELL

T_O876565d ago

after a year resistance 1 still looks good , cant wait for R2 and see what happens next :)

Omegasyde6565d ago

Yea I agree, I think that alot of Halo Diehards might covert onto this game. I wonder if Sony will be smart about it and advertize the %@#%@ out of the game.

I hope the Co-op still kicks as much butt. RFOM and GeOW are my all time two favorite Co-op games.

gamesR4fun6565d ago

this game will set the bar again r/fom is a masterpiece and they've surpassed it in every way. Cant wait to buy the final product with a sept03 release date we can start counting the days...

Cwalat6565d ago

exactly its not even done yet... its still about 7 months left, with singleplayer practically done, now they can sit back and relax with just tuning it and polishing the multiplayer, making this one of the best games of 08...

sonarus6565d ago

this game honestly can't get here soon enough. Still keeping my fingers crossed for 60fps. Insomniac did say all their games after ratchet and clank would run at 60fps that would jst cement the ps3's power. I can't wait to see the improvements naughty dog and evolution studios have made to their engine. Hopefully motorstorm can have split screen this time expect to see motorstorm sequel this yr.
I still need to see resistance in motion though hopefully the animation has also improved i thought resistance 2 had pretty lame animation

Salvadore6565d ago (Edited 6565d ago )

But what I am interested to see is the multiplayer and how their new engine will handle 60 players on screen with 60fps.

Edit: The game has fricking colours!!!

Omegasyde6565d ago

Don't forget there will be vehicles too! holy cow. I actually hope they scale down the players from 60 to 40 or something smaller. I remember when tribes 2 had 64 players in a match and how crazy that was. It was chaotic trying to get people to listen and assualt a base. However when you get a mass of people assaulting a stronghold in games like WoW, tribes, and battlefield nothing is more beautiful than sheer teamwork + Cohesion = ownage.

Doppy6565d ago

There's no denying the Resistance 2 is graphically superior to Resistance 1, but I kind of like the dusty look of the first one. It kind of help set the mood for the game (old war-torn battlefield). But in the end Resistance 2 is the better looking game already.

masterg6565d ago (Edited 6565d ago )

Can anyone confirm that the Resistance 2 shots are ingame?

EDIT: Thanks for the replies guys. Damn I'm looking forward to this game.
Top 5 2008:
LittleBigPlannet
GTA4
Resistance 2
Gears of War 2
KillZone 2.

OMG I didn't even have room for MSG4. What is the world coming to.

HarryEtTubMan6565d ago (Edited 6565d ago )

Dude all Resistance is in game. The "cutscenes" are in game... there is no way they aren't. This is the PS3. They are in game. everyone knows it

We are gonna start to see the Cell now and this will run at 60 frames per second. I bet Resistance has an even more CGi look than Ratcher. Resistance 2 is gonna be BIG

CeruleanSky6565d ago

Insomniac doesn't do marketing bullshots like Epic and their Unreal Engine for games like Gears of War or Unreal Tournament.

Resistance and Ratchet and Clank both look exactly like the released screenshots. This game will be the same.

Relcom6565d ago

"The tech and gameplay teams have moved tons of things over to the SPUs that used to run on the PPU. Collision and physics are entirely running on SPUs now, which allows us to put much more on the screen at once than we were able to with Resistance. Moving more and more code to the SPUs is an ongoing process and I think we'll continue to see major benefits from this for several more years," said Hastings

Translation, they have figured it out. They should give tutorials to other Devs.

Sevir046565d ago

them and naughty dog should share their expertise with the other devs..

akaFullMetal6565d ago

well if you watch the credits on uncharted it says in the end thanking other companies for their help, insomniac is one of them.

jonboi246565d ago

seriously now insomniac and naughty dog should co-write a book called, "how to make a ps3 game.... the right way for dummies". this should school all those lazy developers how to make a ps3 game right. seriously those two will usher in the ps3 to the promise land.

Darkiewonder6565d ago (Edited 6565d ago )

to give a session and show off most likely R2. This should help out some :3

Hope someone get coverage at Insomniac's booth ;3

resistance1006565d ago

'

If you look it basically had every sony studio going on it, Gurrila, Sucker Punch, you name it helped on the project, i suspect this is the case will all 1st party games, they help each other, and explains why 1st party PS3 games are a cut above 3rd party games in terms of graphics and achievement (with a few exceptions)

Omegasyde6565d ago

Yea Sony first party studio's are great and what I believe really helped the PS2 last gen.

The only first party Dev i think was lacking was Zipper (Socom). I remember reading somewhere that they "Could of" made socom Confrontation better but didn't have budget too. (Line of BS)

0pt1cK1ll3r6565d ago

I thought I remember Insomniac developing helpful kits for other developers for working with the PS3 or something along those lines?

Sevir046565d ago

it's a no brainer that Insomniac is showing in game, this is all PS3 all real time all in game, ^^ insomniac is just amazing they have an amazing engine that is soo much more efficient than 3rd party middle ware. and i think creating your own engine versus using middle ware like unreal and euphoria, and cryengine you'd be better off getting more because it would be general purpose and propperly optimized for the system. thats why COD4 and burnout look fantastic on the ps3 along with DMc4 and Ac...

man i cant wait for killzone 2 or R2 they will be completely amazing

Salvadore6565d ago

Most developers want to cut corners or don't really want to invest money on making inhouse engines, but developers who put more resources and etc into their games are the ones who start understanding the hardware better.
If you for example look a Epic and how they managed to pull off UT3 without any major difficulties and compare this to other 3rd party developers, you clearly see that Epic has a better understanding of their engine and the PS3 hadware.

Video Game Franchises in Danger of Being Forgotten

The gaming industry moves at such a pace that it’s not surprising we’ve seen countless franchises fall into obscurity over the years.

culturedvultures.com
S2Killinit433d ago

Im surprised that a game with a heritage of Medal of Honor is in this list.

cthulhucultist433d ago

There is a rumour that Driver 1 & 2 remasters will be released for Switch and presumably for other systems as well.

https://www.gamingbible.com...

Not sure however whether this results into new games in the near future.

HellspawnPR1981433d ago

Ninja Gaiden? Splinter Cell? Tenchu? Virtua Fighter? Killer Instinct? Killzone?

DefenderOfDoom2433d ago

I would very much enjoy
a new dedicated single player Killzone campaign. With a fun multi-player.

cthulhucultist433d ago

Tenchu and Killer Instict would be great indeed!

Unfortunately new Killzone game does not seem to be in the works

Virtua Fighter is going to receive a new entry!

https://www.dualshockers.co...

Splinter Cell is likely to be one of the remasters launching next year (not sure whether this has to do anything with the remake previously announced)

https://toronto.ubisoft.com...

HellspawnPR1981433d ago

Yeah, read the news about a new Virtua Fighter and I am so ready for it. Splinter Cell at this point I don't believe anything Ubisoft says plus I don't think modern day Ubisoft can make a decent stealth game. They will likely fuck it up.

Inverno433d ago

Basically everything at this point as companies have no concern with preservation.

It’s Time for Sony to Bring Back Killzone and Resistance

Sony is in the middle of an FPS crisis, but bringing back two much-loved PlayStation shooters could easily be the solution.

shinoff2183590d ago

I'd rather them focus on a rpg. Shooters can wait

just_looken590d ago

We have alot of rpg's but only cod for a AAA first person shooter unless you toss in xdefient but that is still fixing 2yr old beta issues.

We need more AAA fps games then rpg's

shinoff2183590d ago

Yea right. Theirs so many shooters on the market.

just_looken589d ago

@shin

Name 3 AAA fps games coming out this year

Cacabunga589d ago

I want Killzone yea, but as a gaas no buy!

Cacabunga589d ago

Yes we need some new FPS experiences.. COD is just not engaging enough. We want a Killzone back to the roots, not a Shadow Fall again..

+ Show (1) more replyLast reply 589d ago
Crows90589d ago

There's tons of RPG in the market too...what's your point exactly.

RaidenBlack589d ago

No Killzone or Resistance or Factions for you ... only Concord & FairGame$

Ironmike589d ago

No more rpg for a while would love a new resistance though

DarXyde589d ago

Agree on preferring RPGs though at this exact moment, it would be great to see more horror games. Another reason why Japan Studio closing is just tragic. Loved Siren.

just_looken589d ago (Edited 589d ago )

Fuck jim ryan japan studio did so much and helped alot with ports/localization

If they were around bloodborn would be possible like how they helped with demon souls ps4 finial fantasy port.

Horror games would be nice but the jim ryan axe job helped alot in killing playstation dev numbers/freedom and increased regulation with the new censorship crap.

1Victor589d ago

If Sony is bringing back a old shooter I would prefer Warhawk or better yet Starhawk

Rynxie589d ago

No thanks. Resistance and killzone were my all time favorite fps games. I completely dominated those games. I met good people, had a ton of fun and have a lot of fond memories. I don't want them to bring back these games, unless they tackle the cheating epidemic. I know I will absolutely hate these games, if I was to play them now, with all the effing cheating going on in fps games.

Psychonaut85589d ago

Bro the market is oversaturated with quality RPGs AND bloated shitty RPGs already.

Inverno590d ago

I honestly don't think we'll be seeing these anytime soon, if ever. Insomniac is officially on Marvel duty since it seems that all they're working on based off the leaks, and Horizon is more of what the casuals want these days. And I now I'll get a bunch of disagrees, but keep in mind that Resistance last got a game on the PS3 (2011) and Killzone was a launch title for the PS4 (2013). 10 years is a long time to make a game, if had any interest they would've done it by now, add InFamous to that list.

just_looken590d ago (Edited 590d ago )

Your right except the dates killzone mercenary was on ps vita 2013 same with resistance burning skies back in 2012

Good-Smurf589d ago

Both of those games are either made by smaller B team or completely different developer.
Killzone Mercenary developed by Guerilla Cambridge which is now defunct.
Resistamce Burning Skies wasn't made by Insomniac but by Nihilistic Software also defunct after the failure of CoD Black Ops Declassified.

just_looken589d ago

@good i know i never said they were

I mentioned them as they were the last games under that ip well killzone was last on ps4 but still even though they are different devs they led to the lose of the ip.

I highly doubt they made up for there budget cost even killzone on ps4 had low sales for such a large ip at the time.

shinoff2183590d ago

Infamous should atleast get remastered. I'd be cool with that

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH590d ago

Resistance 3 turned me off to the series but I’d love a reboot. KillZone I think can stay dead. Give me a new Resistance like 1or 2 and I’ll be happy.

JEECE590d ago

Except Resistance 1 and 3 were far more similar, 2 was the outlier. 3 was a great return to form after 2 changed so many things from the first game.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH589d ago

I didn’t like 3 and I didn’t find it similar to the first game.

Moegooner589d ago

2 was the best resistance game.

Michiel1989589d ago

agreed, the co-op was my fav in 2

Michiel1989589d ago

I'll keep saying it, have Bungie make a new resistance game, a match made in heaven. Although I imagine Bungie would be too proud to take over an existing IP.

Huey_My_D_Long590d ago

I honestly never cared or liked killzone. Huge resistance fan though. I remember so many nights playing melee only on USS Lexington, and I like the alt history vibe.

InUrFoxHole589d ago

Liked KZ more but both those games are better than MAG

Huey_My_D_Long589d ago

Facts.
Since I'm down memory lane, I also wish for remaster of Warhawk.

P_Bomb590d ago

I’ve been barking up that tree for years. 😢

Keep barking, boy! Keep barking! Never give up hope. ;)

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

Read Full Story >>
wealthofgeeks.com
OtterX679d ago (Edited 679d ago )

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro679d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv72679d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_679d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga679d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos679d ago (Edited 679d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt23679d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball2000679d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin679d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole679d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix679d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989679d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor679d ago (Edited 679d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Michiel1989679d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2
