Resistance 2 Beta blows

Another Sarcasticgamer.com writer responds to an earlier article on Sarcasticgamer.com regarding the Resistance 2 Beta.

From the article: "I was stoked when I got into the Resistance 2 beta. I loved Resistance: Fall of Man; it was the second game I picked up for my PS3, a couple of weeks after the launch, when I was sick of Blast Factor and had aced MotorStorm. It wasn't just any old sci-fi shooter because it was set in England, in the mid 1940s, and I dug the whole 'alternative timeline' story. I hadn't seen anything like it and despite the gameplay being a little average (the Chimera took about 20 shots to the head to kill) the entire design felt just right and I was convinced Insomniac were onto something with this whole 'aliens in Britain' thing."

if u aren't sarcastic just as well u simply fail

gw4k6402d ago

Personally I have been having a blast with this game. It is crazy and the maps are huge! Pretty darn fun.

Now the cons, the graphics are complete crap....but, if you are playing with 60 players and the maps are as big as they are...you can understand why.

It does play very well and person I haven't noticed any bugs. Catching on fire every time you are even remotely to fire gets on my nerves though.

This game will probably be worth a purchase!

its called Sarcasticgamer for a reason!!!!....

KillaManiac6402d ago

Resistance 2 Beta does blow....it blows all other shooters out of the water! Coop is fantastic!

phosphor1126402d ago

I love the R2 beta..right now the graphics aren't that great..it IS in beta though so you never know. Then again it plays with no hick ups what so ever. The gameplay is intense, I love it a lot. Especially Coop, it gets intense like a HUGE WoW raid, it plays kind of like one too. Those of you who are being pissy about it. Wait to play it before you complain about it.

uie4rhig6402d ago (Edited 6402d ago )

while i agree with that, i have to say that it blows any game out of the water except CoD4.. which imo is still better than the R2 beta.. now i haven't played the full game obv.. but maybe that'll change my mind!! but then again, i think its a very very very very VERY big achievement to have come second best FPS !! congrats on yet another wonderful game Ted!! you deserve all the profit you're gonna make of this game :)

Man_of_the_year6402d ago

OUCH!!!!

That is a pretty HARSH review...wonder if other reviews will determine the same overview or if others will determine something different...

And since Gears2 comes out on the 7th and resistance2 comes out a few weeks later - you know that R2 will be compared to what reviews Gears2 gets...

Nineball21126402d ago

R2 comes out on November 4th in NA.

There is a post in the pending news section with another review of R2 that got a 97 out of 100.

http://www.n4g.com/gaming/N...

Man_of_the_year6402d ago

Thanks

i thought i read somewhere that it was coming out on Nov 27th...and 97/100 is a pretty damn good score...wonder what this guy was experiencing that the reviewers at Gamingheaven were not....

Nineball21126402d ago

but I completely 100% disagree with the article.

R2 IS bigger, better and more badass then R1 and it's going to sell, sell, sell....

Mozilla896402d ago

I'm kinda surprised, I had a blast with co-op theres few things more exciting than you and 7 friends holding on for dear life against waves of Chimera. I had a blast, some of the multiplayer weapons are unbalanced though. In the other article similar to this it had mentioned the Wraith.

I've used it a few times and it def downs people a lot faster than a Carbine, it just feels a bit too powerful. And the shotgun seems a little under powered. I expect a one hit kill at point black but it doesn't. Hopefully these simple problems have been addressed though and I had a blast anyways.

Ju6402d ago

Its a BETA not a DEMO. Four letters, different meaning...

DavidMacDougall6402d ago

I enjoyed it and im going to love the full game

SL1M DADDY6402d ago

It blows many other FPS's out of the water in terms of greatness and scope. It is a great beta to be in and I am loving it. Also, to make it clear to the author of this article...

IT IS THE BETA.

Nuf said.

Johnny Rotten6402d ago

the R2 beta blows so good that it makes me smile :)

Drealmcc0y6402d ago

Yep it was terrible, you gotta be some sort of f4ggot to enjoy it.

I'll buy Gears 2, L4D and COD5(on my 360, as all multiplats are superior on 360)

Damn im buying nothing on my PS3 this year.

xBot Lemmings6402d ago

U don't even have a ps3 x-tard LMMFAO L4D ?

R2 > Gays of whatever 2 + Gaylo 3 just go fuk u sister or something

Drealmcc0y6402d ago

I dont have a PS3?
Right course I dont...
add Drealmcc0y on PSN

Defectiv3_Detectiv36402d ago

Really though dude go beat off to cortana or something...

That being said, what do these people expect out of a beta!? Personally, I thought the Socom beta was much worse...

ultimolu6402d ago

We enjoyed it because it was a damn good beta.
Now run along emo kid.

And you are not worthy of owning a PS3 if you dare insult R2.

GiantEnemyCrab6402d ago

Drealm: You will be attacked on this site if you are not down on your knees bobbing $ony knob. The freaks here suffer from a sever superiority complex and a huge false sense of entitlement.

Even though you just stated your opinion and you have an opinion that is shared by MANY you will be questioned.

Keep on speaking the truth!

Mr Fancy Pants6402d ago (Edited 6402d ago )

looks who's talking GiantEnemyCrab. the one person that it is on every PS3 thread talking crap. what are you doing here anyway if you don't care about Resistance 2? looking for some material to continue your trolling? eh bacalao! Lol ;-D

BTW i'm going to add you Drealmcc0y and i want to see that you have the beta! ca we be friends? i'm looking for a friend. ;-)

ultimolu6402d ago (Edited 6402d ago )

"Drealm: You will be attacked on this site if you are not down on your knees bobbing $ony knob."

Correction:You will be attacked on this site if you are not down on your knees bobbing M$'s knob.

In other words, you 360 fanboys attack PS3 fans the same way when they're on 360 threads!

blackbeld6402d ago

@drealmccoy, go sell PS3 and stop mocking around. And get a life. peeple like you will never understand.Cause lack off knowledge and lazy to study. Go play you're gays of war and have fun with it.

You dont need to deceive people how great 360 is. Everybody already knows it sucks. RROD & disk scratch & $50$ for online play & no blu-ray & Burning houses.

Just live in you're own world and wont wakeup.

thematrix12986402d ago (Edited 6402d ago )

@ Drealmcc0y
Seriously dude, you shouldn't have ps3...you are not cool enough!
You know "add me on PSN" is going to backlash because all those who have ps3 are going to add you and expect you to have the R2 demo.

I can already sense the cry from M$ and their fanboy after IGN rated this game....you all know it's going to be the next big thing so putting it down already?

You f*ck your sister...I f*ck your mom.

GiantEnemyLobster6402d ago

Another Future Flop for the PatchStation 3.

shawnsl656402d ago (Edited 6402d ago )

i'm gonna save "the next big thing" title for KZ2. R2 beta is addictively fun though.

But so far i haven't seen any FPS games that have near realistic destructive environment.

for example: throw a grenade into water = water splash up with some mud effect. If you're near it, your tv will have a mud effect on the screen til you shake the controller to wipe it off or something.

throw a grenade into the dirt = dirt flies into the air leaving a big hole into the ground where it was tossed.

bullet flying into the wall = has actual bullet hole 3d style not just a drawing on the wall. i.e. you can actually use that new hole for sniping or looking through it.

anygame with a good story line and detailed environment + good gameplay has my vote.

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.

S2Killinit548d ago

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

cthulhucultist548d 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.

HellspawnPR1981548d ago

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

DefenderOfDoom2548d ago

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

cthulhucultist548d 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...

HellspawnPR1981548d 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.

Inverno548d 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 Butt1471d 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.

Eidolon1469d ago

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

Miraak82 1469d 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_vulgaris1470d ago

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

GoodGuy091470d ago

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

fr0sty1469d ago

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

P_Bomb1470d ago

Never played Burning Skies but I still have Retribution.

monkey6021470d ago

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

porkChop1469d 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.

darthv721469d 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_Suzumiya1469d 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_Sakai1826d ago

Really wish Insomniac would bring back Resistance!

darthv721825d 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.

monkey6021825d 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

darthv721825d ago

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

SullysCigar1826d ago

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

monkey6021825d ago

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

CBaoth1825d 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_Darkness1825d 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_cheese1825d ago

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

BlackIceJoe1826d 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.

Dragonopolis1825d 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

waverider1825d 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.

Jambola121825d ago

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

Chevalier1825d 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.
