The Japanese Resistance 2 trailer

Ps3 Fanboy reports:-

"Ever wondered what an alien invasion of America would sound like ... in Japanese? Good, because this will hit the spot. This new trailer from PlayStation Japan highlights many of the epic battles that we've come to associate with the upcoming PS3-exclusive FPS. The game looks better with every new trailer they release, and this is no different. While this may tantalize our senses, we wonder how many Japanese (who usually dislike FPS games) will actually pay attention to this upcoming game. "

R2 will do as well as R1 or even better
But it will surely smash some sales records in USA and Europe

UNCyrus6471d ago

i see your not making any outrageous predictions on this comment board... However, I could see R2 easily selling 300k copies in Japan. It is over 2 years since the first title released, and the ps3 install base in Japan has grown substantially since then. However, we'll be able to see for ourselves when the game releases in just over 2 months... can't hardly wait

Overr8ed6471d ago

yea R:FoM did good in the Japaneses market which isnt very FPS oriented like the US and the UK. So I think that R2 would follow in its footsteps

cahill6471d ago

is the most sold console FPS in Japan

Ofcourse i can expect R2 to be bigger in sales there. It has a definite chance

IzKyD13316471d ago

@ cahill
it sold more than Halo 3 Im sure of that lol

perseus6471d ago

Just look at the sales figures. FPSs are almost as popular in Japan as they are elsewhere.

cahill6471d ago

In Japan Fpses are not very popular

However RFOM was a smashing hit

IzKyD13316471d ago

actually no, japan hates almost every game genre except rpgs (or should i say jrpgs) and maybe the action genre, this is why I dont like japanese gamers, they are so accustomed to only playing one or two types of games they dont even give something new a chance

perseus6470d ago

Instead of parroting what other people have told you, I suggest you actually look at the figures. COD4 was, and maybe still is, in the PS3 top five for at least 4 months. Battlefield is hugely popular.

I am right, sorry. I live here, I know more than you do.

cahill6471d ago

R2 will match or top it for sure

IzKyD13316471d ago

you wouldn't believe how many times I saw that footage lol

Shaka2K66471d ago

Yeah gears of war 2 looks so mediocre next to R2.

cahill6471d ago

that u keep looking at it over and over and over again

Exia6471d ago

Wow, the Japanese voices are so good! I wish they have a language setting in R2 for the US where you can change the spoken dialogue! And I hope this will help FPS penetrate the Japanese market in Japan. I highly doubt though, but here's hoping that it would!

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.

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

cthulhucultist557d 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.

HellspawnPR1981557d ago

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

DefenderOfDoom2557d ago

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

cthulhucultist557d 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...

HellspawnPR1981557d 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.

Inverno557d 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.

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.

Eidolon1479d ago

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

Miraak82 1479d 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_vulgaris1480d ago

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

GoodGuy091480d ago

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

fr0sty1479d ago

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

P_Bomb1480d ago

Never played Burning Skies but I still have Retribution.

monkey6021479d ago

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

porkChop1479d 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.

darthv721478d 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_Suzumiya1479d 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.

Really wish Insomniac would bring back Resistance!

darthv721835d 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.

monkey6021835d 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

darthv721835d ago

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

SullysCigar1836d ago

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

monkey6021835d ago

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

CBaoth1835d 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_Darkness1834d 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_cheese1835d ago

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

BlackIceJoe1835d 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.

Dragonopolis1835d 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

waverider1835d 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.

Jambola121835d ago

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

Chevalier1835d 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.
