Resistance 3 Impressions--Am I the only one?

Am I the only one who is a little upset about the recent gameplay footage floating around from Resistance 3? Hold on before you "WTFuXORS!", don't get me wrong, the game looked absolutely beautiful. It just didn't look like Resistance, it looked like Killzone with Chimera. And to all the people saying it does look like Killzone and liking this, are huge hypocrites.

When it comes to Killzone, fans love the feeling, look, and art design behind it. They will give you a lingual lashing if they even hear about anything CODish going into the game, because they want Killzone to have it's own identity. So why then do I feel Resistance has lost it's identity from the gameplay footage?

They even took the red hit box straight out of Killzone. And Resistance now has a true ADS, which angers me in some sense with some of the comments I seen on an article. Where people said "Resistance always had ADS" proving to me that most people putting their input on franchises similar to this one are not true fans of the game.

Resistance's ADS was never a true ADS, it was more of a "zoom" mode where there was still a corsair since Resistance is more of an arcadey game. Which is one of the several reasons why I was so fond of Resistance. It had it's own identity, a dying breed in my opinion in that before FPS's usually had their own play style, etc.

Point of all this, is I'd like my Killzone to be Killzone and my Resistance to be Resistance. Not one of the same, if I want to play a realistic shooter I'll pop in Killzone, if I want an arcadey halo-style game I'll pop in Resistance. They may have brought back the weapon wheel (yay!) but it looks like they completely dumped their art style and gameplay.

Another thing that worries me is the graphics, I mean holy crap did it look fan-freakin'-tastic, but is the graphics going to be able to handle the huge scale battles the resistance games are known for? Or are they dropping the huge scale for a more in your face type of gameplay? If so, I personally would of liked this game to be more of a spin off game rather than a full fledged sequel. Again making my case for not feeling and/or looking like Resistance.

If they put Helghast in that video I would of thought it was Killzone with no hesitation.

Final Notes:
Of course this is all SPECULATION from a short gameplay video and is only my own personal impressions from that said video. Please be gentle in the comments.

I don't think they are trying to make resistance look like killzone. I think they are trying to make you feel like the world was devastated by the chimera. And I wouldn't worry to much about the graphics, Insomniac is one of the best developers in the business and this and R&C are day one for me and I'm sure plenty of other people.

but you have to admit, it looks more like Killzone in that gameplay video vs Resistance. Look at some screen shots of that video with KZ and then look at past Resistance titles.

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.

Jingsing2d ago

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
