...had ND made it with better story, characters, dialogue, graphics, gameplay, epic moments, no loading screens etc. Or even Santa Monica Studios or Incognito had made it.
GG are getting better but just aren't in the same league as ND to be entrusted with such an important prestige title -- be it their own creation.
2 million is very good though.
...the heralded giant boss battle. Totally linear and not truly interactive.
At least with the big boss battle in R1, you could take it down by persistent hits. Not so for R2. I tried shooting at another of the giant stalkers at the airport and nothing. No response, nothing. Game would have been better with this degree of interactivity with boss battles/game objects.
Very linear.
Tell that to DICE who has more experience with more realistic shooters than GG.
Laggy-weighty-feel. BS.
Remember how boring the presentation/narration of CoD2 was due to being set in WW2. Then IW went MW and had the slick & appealing presentation/narration, modern weapons and more realistic battle grounds.
Insomniac made a huge mistake by setting Resistance in an alternative 1950s and subsequently had a boring presentation/narration and none in R2.
Resistance should have been set in Modern times with slick appealing narration/presentation, modern weapons and vehic...
... it will be GOTY and set the standard for all round quality for developers to follow.
... is a better choice. Ryan Reynold is potentially like Bruce Willis that needs a break through movie to be the next best thing. Remember how whimpy Bruce Willis was before Diehard.
Plus Reynolds just looks like Drake heads down.

...Customizable vehicles.
Hope that also means the controls as the Helicopter ones sucked in BC1. And make vehicle destruction(exploding) look better.
BC2 will be epic but really needs more players and jets to be perfect.
Halo1 was a truly great game. Although not as pretty, it still beats Killzone 2 in many ways: characters, dialogue, story, epic set pieces, fun factor and vehicles.
Why the frack didn't GG and Insomniac just copy all the best things of Halo and make Resistance and Killzone killer games. Sheez.
...is potentially a Halo not Killzone 2.
Insomniac just needs to copy ND and Bungie or ND needs to get their golden mits on Killzone 3.
gameplay being much the same is a good point. Where's the muliplayer?
Maybe time Insomniac gives the pair to good break and focus on bringing something different for R3 instead.
Resistance definitely needs the slick and appealing narration, dialogue, characters and presentation shown in the r&c games. And fully usuable vehicles.
If only they had copied and improved everything from Halo, then Resistance could have been the king of scifi shooters...o...
superficial improvement at best.
I am an experienced player of KZ2 - best class combo tactician with repair abilities - and there was only a very minor increase in reactivity. The shotgun was still laggy as hell on aiming.
KZ3 won't be out 2010 but likely 2011. GG just isn't as good and fast at developing games as ND or Insomniac.
The thing is KZ2 still needs simple improvements first:
* get rid of the spawn flare and replace with spawn zo...

Yes, PCs are versatile and powerful machines with fully BC. Obviously.
But as I have already stated, PCs have a common CPU architecture(x386) and standard Operating system. Sheez, even Apple Inc gave in and switched to the x386 with the Unix based Mac OSX.
Consoles don't do this due to expensive future proofing h/w(the revolutionary approach) and subsequent ever changing OS. That's their choice. Stupid choice but their choice.
Ho...

Didn't say they aren't enjoying AAA. I asked how many PC gamers are enjoying AAA games on old PCs(with no HDD). The answer is in fact zero because even old PCs have HDD.
The Ps2 has no HDD, only 32 Mb Ram, and 300 mhz cpu. Its still very popular 9 years on, with a huge library of games and only ~$90.
This is why console gaming is better. Just buy it and plug it into the family TV and enjoy all the games released for it over the next 5-10 years...
Of course PC gaming can provide the best gaming experience with its costly up-to-date hardware.
But lets get real here.
Console gaming will never exceed the performance of a PC but it will come close with certain games, be alot cheaper long-term, be enjoyed longer and more convenient/portable(plug & play).
How many gamers are enjoying AAA games on a 9 year old PC with 330 mHz CPU, no hard drive, and only 32 Mb of Ram. Diddly squat I'm guessing.
...
with R3.
But Insomniac confuses me at times.
With their excellent narration, story telling and memorable characters in the R&C series, why the frack did they set Resistance in a 1950's alternative world, with boring or no narration, and Hale who?
Resistance would have been so much better set in modern times, charismatic lead and supporting characters and an appropriate and slick narration. I mean, they made the excellent R&C series and must have...
...especially in a competitive market.
Unlike the Ps1 & Ps2, Sony now has real competition with the Wii and xbox.
Sony foolishly stuck with the expensive revolutionary console and gave M$ a years head start and time to establish itself as a serious console maker.
A $300 DVD only Ps3 released in nov 2005 would have killed off the 360, due to all the loyal Ps2 owners and HD gaming - admittedly with multiple DVDs.
Then in 2009, Sony should ...
It's a luxury item that would be neat to have but isn't necessary.
You can still play online for free. That is what really matters.
Sony mucked up my not giving enough memory to the Ps3 and not making the game OS more like a PC Operating system with strong multi-tasking ability(ability to run multiple applications such as a game, web browser, music player at the same time).
Had they done this, then everything offered on xbox live could be quickly imp...
9/10
Edge has too many hopelessly anti-Ps3 staffers that it wasn't going to be 10/10.
But also wasn't going to be 8/10 because the game is so good and near perfect that they'd be fools to give it so.
Just makes me sick that so many reviewers chopped off decimal amounts for the most stupid reasons, if any, because they just couldn't give full marks to a PS exclusive game. And all this ridiculous media and gamer fanboyism started when the xbox came onto t...
The real system sellers has been exclusive games with large fanbase, like MGS4 then eventually GT5 & FF - buyers waiting for the >> right game <<.
Other than that, what really sets off great Ps3 sales is its price due to millions of Ps2 owners or buyers waiting for the >> right price <<
Okay, Halo lacks everything you mentioned but there's a reason it is so popular and sold well. Because the game delivers the enjoyable game experience wanted by millions of GAMERS.
The same can be said of Warhawk(MP only) but we don't have the same number of GAMERS willing to buy/play it on the Ps3.
So many Ps3 owners hate Halo but should be given credit for what it delivers overall - an enjoyable gaming experience.
BTW: it is clearly evident with Halo ...
