It would increase the number of players, make it easier and quicker to find matches, and help the variety of matches, instead of the greater numbers flocking to a few types. I think it would be a good thing too.

Seriously, I have no idea where they get this from.
I was playing Resistance: Fall of Man online with 40 players on the PS3's LAUNCH, with no lag.
Then I was playing Warhawk with 32 players, with no lag.
Then it was Resistance 2 with 60 players, with no lag.
Lastly I was playing... wait for it... 256 players in MAG*, WITH NO LAG.
Call the PSN shit all you want, but no 36...
No. I like what he has to say. He's very insightful, intelligent, and it's nice to hear from his own mouth what makes him such a great dev.
Now, if you only read out of context excerpts of what he actually said, then he would come off as annoying, but in fact it's those WEBSITES that are twisting his words that are at fault here.
Do yourself a favor, next time there's a Jaffe interview/ article, and go to the source. You'll certainly learn...
That is not what he said or meant... at all.
He's just opposed to cutscenes that rip the action away from the player and do it all for you. Also, those that portray actions that you can't even remotely hope to achieve with the game's actual gameplay mehanics.
Jaffe wants to play the game, not have the game play itself for his viewing pleasure, that's all.
He NEVER said anything negative about games having stories.
Yup, I totally agree with Jaffe. I've played too many games where my character does some crazy badass stunts in the cutscenes, then it goes back to gameplay and I'm back to moving a brick. Seriously devs? Either you couldn't decide what you wanted your character to be: a badass or a brick; or you weren't good enough to translate the badass character you wanted him to be into gameplay mechanics. Either way, that makes you a bad dev.
You're expecting too much from the N4G community. Don't think of the comments section as people posting their responses to the articles, but rather as a forum where the article's title is the subject. The article itself is just a bonus! If you read it, power to you, but it's not relevant to this discussion... you're on N4G, after all.
To each their own--I won't argue over taste. But I enjoyed the beta, and every other Resistance game's multiplayer.
Sure, I'll defend it:
When I'm having fun, I don't give a FUCK what the graphics look like.
Must be why I (and a lot of other gamers) STILL, to this day, enjoy playing older gen titles too. Because, in the end, gameplay and fun are always what matter most, not graphics. Insomniac make fun games, and all the Resistance games are great for that reason.
GTFO troll.
Author's complaints about graphics are petty, to say the least. I get way too absorbed into shooting people in the face to give a damn what my hand on the gun looks like, or which way the blades of grass are blowing (seriously wtf--by the way, they'd be blown by the wind, which of course would blow them all in the same direction.) Also, I played the beta about 15 hours since it was opened to the public, and just played U2 online today, and I have to say R3 during gameplay looks as goo...
656mb is not PLENTY of space. Even those who (still) have the first 20gb launch model have PLENTY enough space for that patch.
Resistance Fall of Man is the reason I got a PS3 at launch! Glad I did too.
Wait, wait, wait... You're saying you'd rather wait a month than download a 656mp patch?
You'd rather the game be delayed a MONTH than wait about an hour for the patch to download?
That is exactly what you said. Did you think at all before writing that?
Tell you what: you don't want to wait to play the game? Then skip the patch and go straight to single player.
But if you want to play mp right away, then SUCK IT UP and download the patch. Multiplayer content ALWAYS needs to get patched, I'd rather it be sooner than later, and you can't do sooner than day 1.
lol nice quote. You're absolutely right about PS3 games being judged on a different standard too. I'd hate to start a flame war, but it seems any mediocre 360 game gets praised like it's the best game ever while any amazing PS3 game gets nitpicked until it seems like a pile of shit.
We've had a lot of these once 360 exclusive games get ported over, and I was extremely underwhelmed by all of them.
As for the R3 beta: I have to say it plays bett...
@Dread:
Seriously, THINK about it:
It takes time for a game to be printed and shipped. For a developer to implement fixes before the game goes gold, they would have to close the beta about a month before release date. Then they'd probably have to release a demo, to revive some of the hype that died down in the month since the beta was closed.
Making and releasing demos costs developers money. Releasing a game a month later than they other...
No attempt at correlation. Just an attempt at slander.
What??? Resistance 2 was a piece of cake! Especially compared to KZ2. My friend, noobest of the noobs, even beat R2 on superhuman! It's because there's so many checkpoints in that game. No matter how bad you are, just persevere until you eventually just make it to the next checkpoint, and crawl you way through the game like that.
I don't know what you mean about the good playthrough not having all the shards. I completed my first playthrough the good way, wihin a few days of the game's launch, and that's where I got all the shards. The game hadn't been patched or anything, so I don't know what you think SP overlooked...
And what you said in the second paragraph just makes me think you missed that one shard that's just offshore. Cole's L3 ping won't reach that one, that&...
They've already improved the 3rd person view I think. Did you watch the latest gameplay demonstration?
The Elder Scrolls could definitely learn a LOT from Demon's Souls though! That game had stellar gameplay.
Wtf does this have to do with the PS3?
Your fanboy logic is showing.
