Resist the Co-Op?

Given the outstanding levels of cooperation and cleverness employed in the making of TSA, two gamers thought it'd be easy to re-use the magic formula in a cooperative game of Resistance 2. There are various degrees of wrong in the world and an hour later they realised they were right at the forefront.

R2's coop lets you pick from one of three character classes. Basically: Soldier is the main grunt; Special Ops is like a soldier, but with the added job of dishing out ammo; Medic is a big girly puff, but has the - as they found - incredibly important job of healing the other players.

Here's how it went down.

From the article:

"As is usual when we get together for a game over the PSN, the first attempt took 20 minutes of trying to find each other,..."

This is his description of getting in Co-op with R2? Hmmm... played Co-op 2 nights ago. Hit triangle, invited a couple buds to party, partied up in about 2 minutes, joined game and up and playing in about 4 minutes total (wait time for game to start included). So this 20 minute thing either means he is using a USR Office Connect with a 56k modem on one end, has really crappy luck OR he is full of sh*t. In any case, what?

Pennywise6371d ago

2 minutes?? How about you set your room up with open to friends or all and anyone can X your name and join your room.

I think the party system in R2 is great.

Darkseider6371d ago

Oooh I know. You weren't on until later in the night when I was playing my last match, sorry. Although I agree. When opened to friends or all hell it is damned near instant.

Nineball21126371d ago

I agree with both of you that setting up a party in R2 is very easy, but I'm going to approve the article.

It's just the experience of one guy and I know (as well as countless others) that R2 is a fantastic game all the way around.

Edit: Well, I'll approve after a related game is added. :p

"Medic is a big girly puff, but has the - as they found - incredibly important job of healing the other players."

A medic owns once you hit Lvl 24

Dark_Overlord6371d ago

The Medic owns full stop, its possible to just use a medic on your own to finish most of the co-op levels (most being not the parts where 2 players are required). I've had to do it on many occasions due to noobs keep dying then quiting the match

crillyconlig6371d ago

the first time we used it, it took 15mins to get it going, its too simple its hard and made a mess of it

Resistance 3 is a Classic, 13 Years On

Insomniac Games' thunderous conclusion to its acclaimed first-person shooter series remains an under-appreciated work of art.

Sony needs to remake the trilogy on ps5

CrimsonWing69551d ago

I’d rather them do a new game in the world of Resistance.

Cacabunga551d ago (Edited 551d ago )

I honestly liked the first one most..
killzone 2 and 3 outshined Resistance 2 and 3 for me in every aspect.

Eonjay551d ago

I absolutely adored Resistance 3 but they do not NEED to remake this game. They should do something that they enjoy and if it is Resistance then so be it.

Mr_cheese551d ago

Loved resistance 3, played the whole thing on co op with the move controller and gun, was very different!

Resistance 2 online was the best

gamerz550d ago

Me too, but also on a 3D tv! R3 was one of the few games that got plastic rifle panning motion right.

isarai551d ago

Such a criminally underrated series, id love a remaster collection of the trilogy.

preciousdeath551d ago

Yes! ...and make them PSVR2 compatible.

Pedrof551d ago

Not a classic in my opinion ; a pretty mediocre PS3 shooter as far as I'm concerned, not bad, not the worst of the trilogy, but certainly not great. Killzone 2 was miles ahead of it (and of most FPSs even today as far as I'm concerned).

pwnmaster3000551d ago

Naw man.
Resistance 1 will always be GOATed for me.
I remember playing all night on multiplayer. Such a fun game.

P_Bomb550d ago

Ah yeah, R1! I cut my teeth on the one-shot Walmart map, lol! Miss that.

gamerz550d ago

Played that demo soooooo many damn times since it was the only thing to play for a while at launch. That and motorstorm.

refocusedman551d ago

killzone was amazing but resistance was great as well. althpugh theybwrre both fps, I think that served different purposes.

JEECE551d ago

Thanks for turning Insomniac into a Marvel studio.

ApocalypseShadow551d ago (Edited 551d ago )

Although I agree on original games and creativity over licensed IP, especially something like Ghost of Tsushima. But Sony's looking at that series selling less and less overall with the 3rd estimated to not even sell 2 million. Gamers who say they loved it didn't really buy it.

While Spiderman the series has sold over 50 million not counting PC. And Spider-Man 2 is over 11 million so far. If you had their business and had to make their decisions, what would you do in their shoes?

JEECE550d ago

@ApocalypseShadow

Umm, that's exactly my point lol. Insomniac made great, original IP games and people didn't buy them because they were too busy lapping up yearly CODs and Assassin's Creeds, so naturally Sony/Insomniac had to pivot to something else.

Knushwood Butt551d ago

So you are saying 1 was the worst?
I respect your opinion but strongly disagree.

I'll start with what I didn't like about 3:
- OK, Nathan Hale is gone but new player character totally forgettable. Can't even remember their name.
- Awful forced in 3D. Just look at KZ3 for 3D done well.
- Online multiplayer that paled in comparison to 1 and 2. Put hundreds of hours into the first two. Probably less than 10 hours into 3.
- Campaign was OK but I played the other two more, especially 1.

Pedrof550d ago

1 had my favorite gunplay of the trilogy (no need for COD iron sight) so I guess my worst would be 2. At least 3 wrapped up the storyline, supported the move controller and had prettier graphics. But in my book, none of the three really stood out. From that era, I prefered Singularity for example and obviously Killzone 2.

I wish they'd bring back the Resistance 2 multiplayer. God that co-op was so much fun.

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.

S2Killinit553d ago

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

cthulhucultist553d 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.

HellspawnPR1981553d ago

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

DefenderOfDoom2553d ago

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

cthulhucultist553d 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...

HellspawnPR1981552d 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.

Inverno553d 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.

shinoff2183709d ago

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

just_looken709d 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

shinoff2183709d ago

Yea right. Theirs so many shooters on the market.

just_looken709d ago

@shin

Name 3 AAA fps games coming out this year

Cacabunga709d ago

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

Cacabunga708d 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..

Crows90709d ago

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

RaidenBlack708d ago

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

Ironmike709d ago

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

DarXyde709d 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_looken709d ago (Edited 709d 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.

1Victor709d ago

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

Rynxie709d 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.

Psychonaut85709d ago

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

Inverno709d 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_looken709d ago (Edited 709d ago )

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

Good-Smurf709d 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_looken709d 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.

shinoff2183709d ago

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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH709d 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.

JEECE709d 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.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH709d ago

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

Moegooner709d ago

2 was the best resistance game.

Michiel1989709d ago

agreed, the co-op was my fav in 2

Michiel1989709d 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_Long709d 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.

InUrFoxHole709d ago

Liked KZ more but both those games are better than MAG

Huey_My_D_Long708d ago

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

P_Bomb709d ago

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

OtterX709d ago

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