TONS of new Resistance footage!

 

[Kryptonian Warrior]

So I finally downloaded the beta. Funny thing is the download was a little over a Gig and a half. After downloading, I installed it. Once installed, I launch the game, only to see that there is an update. Here's the kicker....the update is AS BIG AS THE ORIGINAL DOWNLOAD!!! What in the world is up with that?

 

[Kryptonian Warrior]

After the update installed last night, I tried to get into a game by doing a Matchmaking search based on any gametype. However, I sat there and sat there. Nobody came into the lobby, so I finally just gave up. Hopefully more people will come on tonight.

 

[KALEL114]

Here's why. From James Stevenson at Insomniac:

Matchmaking is currently suffering from a bug, actually. That's why it's hard to find games

 

[Kryptonian Warrior]

Thanks, Kal. I knew that something didn't seem right. Hopefully it will be up and running soon. I and, I'm sure, many others are anxious to play.

 

[KALEL114]

I need a code darn it! Guess I will have to wait until the 23rd.

When it does come back online, make sure to give us your impressions.

 

[Kryptonian Warrior]

Hey Kal, have you heard anything as to when their Matchmaking might go online? I tried again last night, and they have a note to the players basically saying that they had to shut down Matchmaking, but nothing about when it might be back up.

 

[KALEL114]

They are going to have a patch up in the next couple of days. In the mean time, private matches are still enabled. Look here to find a game or request an invite:

Looks like the MP Beta could be up and running by this evening.....

[Kryptonian Warrior]

MP is back up as of last night. Problem is, I never could find any matches. I selected any gametype and it searched and searched, but never found any available matches. It's probably because most people didn't know that it was back up yet. Also, there is a new patch that needs to be downloaded.

 

[Kryptonian Warrior]

I FINALLY got into a game last night and it's definitely a different experience than what I am used to. I mean the controls are, for the most part, the same as, let's say, COD. I'm not very good at reviewing or anything, but from the few games that I played last night, it's going to be a fun MP experience. It was a little glitchy and it was jumpy. I don't know if that was because of the host, or if it's because it's a beta. From the weapons that I have played with so far, the human weapons suck, unless you get a shotgun, and as usual they are only good up close, but that's to be expected. It's harder to melee, so that's good. At least for me, I get tired of being constantly knifed in COD. Overall though, I can tell this is going to be a very addictive MP experience, at least it will be for me.

Got to play the campaign at the media launch event today; my impressions: http://gamesugar.net/2011/08/17/hands-on-with-resistance-3/

 

[Kryptonian Warrior]

It's official. I am addicted to the MP. It's so much fun! I easily lost track of time and before I knew it, it was 2 AM. I didn't want to quit, but I knew that I had to if I didn't want to be caught sleeping at work the next day.

 

[Superhero 101]

I want to Play

 

[KALEL114]

Trophy List is out. Very spoilery, but it has zero MP trophies (except 2 Co-Op ones).

Thank god. The online trophies ruined the MP in Resistance 2 for me

And this game will have co op? I thought they were taking it out

 

[Superhero 101]

no it has co-op just like R1 except i think you play as Blake as the other person.

 

[Kryptonian Warrior]

Just FYI, the Resistance 3 MP Beta is available to PS Plus subscribers.

 

[Resistance61513]

no it has co-op just like R1 except i think you play as Blake as the other person.

The cooperative character was created specifically for the experience. His name is John Harper and he is a survivor living in Haven with Capelli. Insomniac describes the character as, "The one holding the camera". Should be very exciting to see how it plays out.

You can see a glimpse of coop in the latest episode of QORE.

I played a little of the beta last night and I was really underwhelmed. I haven't played the previous Resistance games, so I didn't really know what to expect, but it really doesn't stand up next to all the other shooters available. Graphics, gameplay, power-ups, it's all very mediocre.

That's exactly what I thought too, but then I played it more and got into it and found out that it's really quite fun!

 

[Havok83]

I found the controls a bit slow, especially compared to R2. The graphics are definetly more colorful and vibrant. I like that. They arent the best though (K3 still has them beat)

Love the changes to the interface and little touches just make it look so much more cleaner and smoother. I love how you get a different interface depending on whether you are a Chimera or human. Id have made Chimera red and human blue though since typically red denotes evil in games, but thats a minor issue

I still dont understand what all the perks do but I like how they are implemented in the game.

Is there a way to change L2 to crouch and make Circle a grenade throw? I didnt try to change it but Im so used to that set up in other shooters instead.
