Not that I can point out any serious errors in the game or anything, but I was wondering the other day that unlike all the other Sony exclusives, Resistance 2 hasn't been patched yet and should have whatever needs patched (or awesome improvements) released before Killzone 2's release.
Looking forward to this. Maybe some features will be included.

elorm96334d ago

For example, spawning in competitive games is just terrible. Sucks to have 2 people spawn right in front of me as I'm running :|

Cajun Chicken6334d ago

Like I've said, I haven't really seen any major errors, but for the fact I haven't seen them it doesn't mean they don't exist. I've noticed in Chicago the Grimms running through the houses seem to slowdown and freeze the game a bit, thats the only error I've really seen with my own eyes.
It's always good for games to get patched slightly.

callahan096334d ago

Yeah, the two things that need patching are both in the competitive:

The first issue I've got is with the matchmaking, which has a few facets worth of problems. The automatic 20-second start after first matching 2 players often leads to an end result where the matche doesn't reach the player limit and all-too-frequently you have one team outnumbering the other. In fact, it's not just a matter of that, but sometimes a team will be outnumbering the other by a player, and somebody new enters the match and the game puts them on the same team that ALREADY outnumbered the other! I've seen this numerous times. I've never played a game where it was this frequent to be in a match with unevenly numbered teams.

Thankfully, it isn't a big deal, as the style of gameplay that this game has makes it possible to perform really well if you're good at the game, even if you're outnumbered. I often score just as much experience and get just as many kills when my team sucks and I'm outnumbered than if I'm on a good team. So it's not THAT big of a deal, but it would be nice in the interest of fairness if they could patch it up so that the matches are more frequently even. And none of the trophies require you to ever win a match, so individual performance is a much more important factor for my satisfaction when playing online than whether my team wins. I'm going for 10,000 kills, so it's honestly not that important whether my team contributes to a win or loss, as long as I do MY job.

And the other issue I have is with the spawning. It's pretty annoying when enemy players literally spawn right next to each other. I mean, sometimes you'll be engaging an enemy and you've clearly got the upper hand, you saw them first, you began firing first, you're doing everything right, and right in the middle of the firefight, one or two more enemies spawn right on top of you, already aiming at you, and now suddenly you're firing at one guy, and you've got three guys firing at you, and there's no way you're walking out of there alive. It's unfortunate, and I hope they make the spawning a bit more fair.

Absolutely fun game though, still enjoying it very much.

IzKyD13316334d ago (Edited 6334d ago )

agreed, the spawning NEEDS to be improved, I'm sick of having 3 people spawn right next to me and getting killed when I can't do anything in deathmatch

phosphor1126334d ago

Player 2 login's need to be PSN compatible (so two psn players can be on 1 ps3) or atleast have a guest account that saves coop stats and stuff.

Sarcasm6334d ago

We have to give credit to Insomniac for delivering an excellent beta to work with, and an excellent multiplayer for the real game.

Given that, yes there are still some issues. I personally don't like how you have to use the matchmaking system just to get into ranked games. I haven't played a 30 vs 30 game in a while because you get no XP if you choose from the list.

We'll see what the patch has, I hope that's one of the fixes.

RememberThe3576333d ago

I hated it when I would get into a game, some people on that other team would leave an now it's 10v6 or something. I mean come on Let other people join or at least balance the teams out.

Before Patchstation 3 and the other Xbot fuktards come here i will say this.

Patchbox 3-Fix-Me because:

Gears of War 2 patches
Halo 3 patch
Castle Crashers patch
Banjo Kazooie Patch
Fable 2 patches

LeonSKennedy4Life6334d ago

Thank you.

They'll ignore those patches though...

They don't count.

edwardcrisel6334d ago

just let this game die.......i enjoyed halo 3 more than this sh*t. bring on killzone 2

Fowack6334d ago (Edited 6334d ago )

I never knew that you that you were apointed undertaker of videogames. Fact is there are many many people still play this game and will continue to after killzone is released.

The message i'm trying to send is that....... YES two great games can Coexist!!!

aiphanes6334d ago

When you have nothing good to say? Did you even play R2?

aftrdark216334d ago

Will allow two people to sign into the co-op game at the same time so it will track both sets of XP.

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.

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...

HellspawnPR1981553d 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.

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.

Eidolon1474d ago

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

Miraak82 1474d 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_vulgaris1475d ago

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

GoodGuy091475d ago

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

fr0sty1474d ago

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

P_Bomb1475d ago

Never played Burning Skies but I still have Retribution.

monkey6021475d ago

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

porkChop1474d 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.

darthv721474d 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_Suzumiya1474d 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!

darthv721830d 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.

monkey6021830d 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

darthv721830d ago

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

SullysCigar1831d ago

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

monkey6021830d ago

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

CBaoth1830d 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_Darkness1830d 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_cheese1830d ago

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

BlackIceJoe1831d 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.

Dragonopolis1830d 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

waverider1830d 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.

Jambola121830d ago

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

Chevalier1830d 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.
