Just direct feed shots from the footage shown at the show. Still clearly shows those off screen videos aren't doing the game justice, even in its early build.

Direct feed footage please :)

CViper6584d ago

I love the diversity too. So you aren't stuck in some dark cavern all the time.

jazzking20016584d ago

Sorry that i was unable to find a video. All videos have most likely already been added to n4g and thus making it old.

Ghoul6584d ago

@cviper

i love those screen but the lighting isnt even in the same league as kz2's lightmodel sorry, kz2 deffered render method and lightscattring technology is out of league of any current engine.

CViper6584d ago (Edited 6584d ago )

Watch the 5 minute presentation video of the guy at insomniac going over mutliplayer.

Not the 50x50 pixel youtube movie going around the net. The lighting model is closer than it is not.

GG/NaughtDog/Insomniac all share technology. Its one of the main reasons its taking Killzone2 so long. Considering Uncharted's streaming method lived in Killzone2 first.. Its pretty safe to think they are passing along notes for lighting. Good lighting is good for everyone

BobDog6584d ago (Edited 6584d ago )

now we can laugh at those people who said the graphics are crap???
(because u can tell so by a a gameplay trailer thats like 100x50 pixels)

this looks amazing

Ghoul6584d ago (Edited 6584d ago )

cviper
yes you can
there are enough tech documents about kz2 and insomniacs inhouse engine. Both are great but r2 doesnt match kz2's realtime lighting engine by far.

titntin6584d ago

You are quite correct to suggest that the Developers do indeed share technology and techniques, and you are correct to say that the lighting for this title looks good.

You are however, quite wrong to suggest that the lighting model used is of the order of complexity of KZ2's engine. The techniques and advanced lighting that are done in KZ2's engine, are much discussed amoung dev's as it is by far an away the most complex lighting model ever used for a real time game. The information is widely avialble for those with the ability to digest it, do check it out if you are genuinely interested, its an exciting engine!

Insomaniac are doing a great job, but they would be the first to tell you they are not trying impliment a lighting model thats as advanced as KZ2's. They are spending their SPU power elsewhere, and I'm quite confident they will deliver a great game.

tony6584d ago

first, the video wasn't making to the game justice, now the screenshots aren't making justices either. get over it, the game really looks like that.

Fishy Fingers6584d ago

Look like what? Great? This is a pre-beta build, it's not finished and your grading its visuals.

Ah I guess your just venting now Offset Is PC only ;)

sonarus6584d ago

Mot bad at all. Looks like a graphical upgrade from R1 plus some color

CViper6584d ago (Edited 6584d ago )

Resistance 2's multiplayer video has good lighting. The still images do not do the lighting model justice, which I was merely pointing out to begin with. I am 100% sure that the KZ2 lighting engine is very advanced.Its obvious to anyone that watches it in motion. However looking at the stills you cant really see all of the processing going on. I almost died when I saw the stills of KZ2 because they looked lacking, after I saw the video.. I almost had a heart attack due to shock and awe. I had a feeling you guys were judging the lighting based on these MEH stills.

You guys are getting confused here thinking that I said the Resistance lighting matches. I only said its closer than it is not, and again. You would have to see the higher resolution video of the forest to see how great it is. Its still pretty impressive.

Rybnik6584d ago

I may be wrong about this, but it almost seems that KZ2, R2, and M:PR are all using very similar lighting engines, i.e. all three games have absolutely fantastic lighting!

Ghoul6584d ago

you are wrong

they use 2 totally different lightmodels and kz2's is by far the best to date.

you are right

both look awesome :D

meyers6584d ago

M:PR -> Motorstorm: Pacific Rift

IIamback6584d ago

They all have different engines. Insomniac has its own engine, GG its own developed for what KZ2 needed, and same goes for motorstorm. Sony is not MS to buy Unreal Engine 3 licence and use it for 80% of its "exclusives" (GeOW 2, Bioshock, Crackdown, Mass Effect, etc.). So you wont see Sony games having same plastic wet look. Even though Sony has its own engine and tools but it is not limited and over used.
You mention amazing lightning? Well this is PS3 bro, only getting in its second year and games look amazing already. By January 09 it is all over, and than comes final blow KZ2 in feb and God of War 3 in March.

McErono6584d ago

it does now. but where is the highres stuff!?

P4KY B6584d ago

Except R2 is a real game and Alan Wake is looking like vaporware.

rawg6584d ago

Lots of detail and the light being filtered through the branches adds a lot of atmosphere. Looking forward to all of the environments that we'll get to play through in R2.

dogseye_deadhorse6584d ago

i heard that Resistance 3 is going to be set in australia.

Mc Fadge6584d ago

I'd like to hear your source on that :P

It could be interesting though, nice to see buildings I know in a game for once ;D

Shadow Flare6584d ago

Swear Australia hadn't even been invented at the time Resistance was set

j/k

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.

S2Killinit555d ago

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

cthulhucultist554d 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.

HellspawnPR1981554d ago

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

DefenderOfDoom2554d ago

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

cthulhucultist554d 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...

HellspawnPR1981554d 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.

Inverno554d ago

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

Ranking the Resistance Games From Worst To Best

While it's been on ice for as long as it was around, the Resistance franchise has no shortage of quality.

Knushwood Butt1477d ago

My take:

Single player
3, 2, 1

Multiplayer
3, 1, 2

Overall
3, 2, 1

I beat the lengthy single player in 1 multiple times and spent hours in the online too. Plus 1 featured my home town! Special mention to the audio design in 1: playing that with surround headphones blew me away.

Note: I have the platinum for Resistance 2.

Eidolon1476d ago

Resistance 1 MP will always be my favorite. Call it nostalgia or whatever, but that was my jam, felt more balance, natural.

Miraak82 1476d ago

i have the platinium too , 10k kills in online ranked matches was no joke . Took me 3-4 months straight grinding but it was fun . To put it in perspective you only got like 25 kills per match if you were 1st place every match that's at Least 400 matches in 1st

Sciurus_vulgaris1477d ago

I only played the 3 main Resistance titles. My ranking would be;
1. Resistance 3
2. Resistance: Fall of Man
3. Resistance 2

GoodGuy091477d ago

Man I loved 3's campaign. Another gem stuck on the ps3 and who knows if insomniac will go back to the franchise.

fr0sty1476d ago

Resistance, Warhawk, MAG, Motorstorm, there's so many first party gems on PS3 that Sony has just left to die...

P_Bomb1477d ago

Never played Burning Skies but I still have Retribution.

monkey6021476d ago

Burning Skies was about 3 hours long and rather inconsequential. You haven't missed anything

porkChop1476d ago

Honestly, Burning Skies was shit. There's no two ways about it. At first I thought it looked terrible, then I second guessed myself. Big mistake.

darthv721475d ago

Retribution has this really cool feature where you could use a PS3 to link a controller to it and play. So if you had a 2000 or 3000 hooked to a tv, you can use a real controller. All of this predates the PSP Go's ability to sync a sixaxis to it via bluetooth.

Yui_Suzumiya1476d ago

Resistance 3 was shocking and brilliant. Loved it.

Why Resistance Was So Incredible

While the studio is best known for Spyro the Dragon, Ratchet, and Clank, and Spider-Man back on the PS3 the studio broke from creating platformers and made one of the highest regarded science-fiction first-person shooters of all time. This was Resistance and it remains one of Sony's most acclaimed and dormant franchises.

Jin_Sakai1833d ago

Really wish Insomniac would bring back Resistance!

darthv721832d ago

Agreed. Until they do a new entry, I'd love to get the two portable games remade into console versions. Maybe in a nice compilation with the mainline titles.

monkey6021832d ago

Burning Skies wasn't a great game.
It was only a couple of hours long and there was nothing memorable about it.

I'd love a new entry

darthv721832d ago

^monkey, hence why it should be remade into a better version.

SullysCigar1833d ago

Resistance 3's campaign was gorgeous for the time - and an awesome game to boot.

monkey6021832d ago

I remember being put off by it because McHale wasn't the MC but it turned out to be my favourite campaign

CBaoth1832d ago

by and large though the Resistance IP featured many protagonists (4 altogether I think if you include the portables). One of the reasons I enjoyed it was not being shackled to individual story arcs. Very rare for a major franchise.

Army_of_Darkness1831d ago

My favorite resistance game as well! It seriously had creepy, scary a$$ moments bro! It made me want an action horror game from insomniac!

Mr_cheese1832d ago

Remember playing this through online co op with the move controller and gun attachment! What a game!

BlackIceJoe1832d ago

I've said in the past I'd like to see this series return and have it take place years later, like in the present.

I'll give you an example if I'm not mistaken the last game ended in the 50s, so if it was to take place some time in the 2020s you'd have an opportunity to see how the world changed after the fall of Chimera and all the new technology that came out of that war.

Just like in our universe we all know WW2 happened, but we never experienced it, so if the next Resistance game takes place years later so too would people in that universe know a war look place against the Chimera, they just wouldn't know what it really was like.

So getting to see how that universe would respond to the Chimera reemerging would be interesting.

Imagine a little kid talking with his grandfather about the war and the kid just thinks it was just a made up bed time horror story and what was said was worse than what really took place, but now that the Chimera come back the kid will find out why years later the old timer adults were still waiting for the Chimera to return.

I think there is great potential for this series still and I really believe the best way forward for Resistance is make it have a time jump too.

So hopefully this series will return.

Dragonopolis1832d ago

Great Idea. I'd play that version.

Resistance was a great game and of all the remasters.... I would play a great remastered version of resistance series as well

waverider1832d ago

I was blown away when i played for the first time Resistance on the PS3. Great Game. Also liked very much an played for hundred of hours the Co-op of R2. The SP campaign of R3 is also excelent. I really hope that Sony and Insomniac annouced the Remaster of the Series and a new chapter. They got story to do that.

Jambola121832d ago

Resistance 2 was one of the first few games i played on ps3 and I loved it, would definitely finish that again :D

Chevalier1832d ago

I loved all the Resistance games. But part 2 online was amazing. The Marksmen for the Spec Ops type class when it was fully upgraded was such an amazing weapon. Oh man I wish they release all the games again and let us play part 2 online again.
