Is Resistence 2 too on rails ?

I've got to say that the graphics quality and variaty of senarios and enemys have impressed me with resistence 2. But if there was one issue with the original it was too on rails for a modern shooter.

From most of the videos i have seen it looks like it will suffer from the same issues, the forest seens are all in low trenches, which for you in one direction. The iceland level sections i have seen are also mainly corridors.

I can excuse the first game for this as it was a launch title and may have been rushed a little to make sure it made it on time. Lets hope this is not the case with the second game.

The only way a game can truly be cinematic is by having certain segments that are out of your control (being on rails).

Yes, there is a fine balance between rails and freedom, but too much of either can really aggravate a gamer, or just make the game plain boring.

I think you have read a different thing into what i am attempting to say. Its the physical level being one long tunnel, no ability to go off path that worries me.

COD4 has set pieces which where impressive but it had open area which you could attach how you wished. Level such as the village in russia (can not remember the level name) are perfect example. You had to take each building but could do them in what ever order you wished.

Well, the full game has yet to be released, so reserve your judgments for later.

I think most scenarios will be played out prematurely.But I dont think the game will be bad anyway

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster922d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
