Insomniac really put a lot of hard work into Resistance 2, revamping many things that were criticized in the first game, lighting being a prime example. I'll definitely be reaping the benefits come next week, can't wait for this game!

walker016423d ago

us europeans have sstill got a month to wait

SullyDrake6423d ago

The textures are bordering on phenomenal! So much detail and depth in them, much like Uncharted, and all apparently running at 30 fps without fault.

I think Resistance 2 is going to set the new bar for graphics. Gears 2 will only be a refinement over Gears, but R2 is a full-out evolution from RFOM.

mikeslemonade6423d ago

Not the best graphics, but pretty solid and there's a lot of things happening on screen. Also it's a fast pace shooter.

Meus Renaissance6423d ago

Wow. Visuals look, dare I say, better than GoW2

xBot Lemmings6423d ago

Dunno but they sure better than Halo 3 & Too Human :P

plain rice6423d ago

Resistance 2's campaign mode clearly looks better than Gears of War 2.

But...

GeoW2's multiplayer graphics looks better than R2's.

poopsack6423d ago

yup thats true, but we all know why that is

xhi46423d ago (Edited 6423d ago )

Gears of War 2 Multiplayer better than Res 2 Multipalyer? Are you drunk? lol

Gears of War 2 Multiplayer

Clearly, Resistance 2 Singleplayer AND Multiplayer look better than Gears of War 2, if anyone has some doubts feel free to ask me and I'll show you the comparisons.

Cheers!

plain rice6422d ago (Edited 6422d ago )

I've played the R2 MP beta. Didn't like the graphics one bit. The Socom beta looked better imo.

Kyur4ThePain6422d ago

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Seriously?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

plain rice6422d ago

I'm dead serious. Do you want me to personally take screens directly from MY PS3 comparing both of these games? I'll prove to you that Socom has better graphics than R2 online. I'm more than willing to do so when I receive my copy of R2 next week. I'm willing to bet the graphics from the beta of R2 is no different than the retail version.

this looks really good!
why there's some people saying that the character models in R2 looks crap for me this looks good. ;-)

AuToFiRE6423d ago

wow, the shadows actually look like shadows

AuToFiRE6423d ago

whoever disagrees to that should be ashamed of themselves, they are very nice looking shadows, nothign ruins a game more to me than shadows that are jaggy

aiphanes6422d ago

I finally realize that. There are shadows in R2! Dang you finally made me realize!

Multiplayer graphics looks really bad in Gears 2.

ThanatosDMC6422d ago

But again some will argue that 5 vs 5 completely eclipses 30 on 30 controled chaos with tons of crap flying everywhere and bombs going off running smoothly and retaining it's graphical look...

Yes, someone will argue... or whine.

SullyDrake6422d ago

You can have 5 vs 5 if you want, or you can have 30 vs 30, and the gameplay still holds strong either way.

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.

cthulhucultist569d 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.

HellspawnPR1981569d ago

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

DefenderOfDoom2569d ago

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

cthulhucultist569d 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...

HellspawnPR1981569d 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.

Inverno569d 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.

Eidolon1491d ago

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

Miraak82 1491d 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_vulgaris1492d ago

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

GoodGuy091492d ago

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

fr0sty1491d ago

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

P_Bomb1492d ago

Never played Burning Skies but I still have Retribution.

monkey6021491d ago

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

porkChop1491d 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.

darthv721490d 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_Suzumiya1491d 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_Sakai1848d ago

Really wish Insomniac would bring back Resistance!

darthv721847d 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.

monkey6021847d 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

darthv721847d ago

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

SullysCigar1848d ago

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

monkey6021847d ago

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

CBaoth1847d 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_Darkness1846d 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_cheese1847d ago

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

BlackIceJoe1847d 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.

Dragonopolis1847d 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

waverider1847d 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.

Jambola121847d ago

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

Chevalier1847d 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.
