Resistance: 40 person multiplayer, 2 match types revealed, offline co-op confirmed

[WhatsHisFace]

This game won't be good.

 

[Zenien]

I have a feelling it will fill the void for the PS3 crowd, but I'll probably end up hating it because it's made by Insomniac.

 

[TheCardPlayer]

This game won't be good.

Who knows really? What's Insomniac's track record?

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Who knows really? What's Insomniac's track record?

They actually have a pretty good track record with the Starsky and Rust (or whatever that series is called... Gonads and Clank or something) and (I think) Spyro the Dragon, but this is out of their usual forte and I'd be surprised if they weren't forced into making a "Gritty, war-torn FPS to be in the league of Halo" by some idiot producers.

This game seems like Medal of Honor mixed with Killzone. And the videos we've seen so far are pretty spiritless.

THWIP, nearly everyone in this thread is out of your league, just go home. You're a joke, and a terribly dense one at that.

Nice to see someone finally bit, how does anyone know the level design in Resistance is generic.

and you mean TCP, not HF.



Anyway, provided THWIP is done missing the point for the 600th time. The one difference in this multiplayer scenario is that Insomniac said 32 player multiplayer and then increased the number according to the magazine.

OH, SO I SUPPOSE YOU WEREN'T TALKING ABOUT 'COD2' EARLIER THEN. I LOVE HOW YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND, TO SUIT YOURSELF.

AND NO, I MEANT 'HF'/HORRORFAN........WHO YOU TYPICALLY LIKE TO BAIT INTO THESE STUPID ARGUMENTS WITH YOUR ASININE COMMENTS; IT JUST HAPPENS TO HAVE BEEN 'TCP' I QUOTED IN THAT INSTANCE.

BTW, YOU'RE RIGHT........I'M DEFINITELY OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE; I GREW OUT OF THAT "LEAGUE" ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO, AND MOVED ONTO THE "REAL WORLD". LET ME KNOW IF YOU EVER GET THERE, AND I'LL HELP YOU CATCH UP.

I clearly was talking about CoDII, but keep fumbling around in the dark old man. At this point I don't think you even know what you were actually saying.


About what constitutes a port:

tr.v. port·ed, port·ing, ports
Computer Science. To modify (software) for use on a different machine or platform.

So if the lead platform of a multiplatform game is the lead platform, the other platforms it appears on recieve ports. Since like you said, chances are high they they made the PC their lead platform and adapted the code for the 360, it would make CoD2 on the 360 a port.

Just like if GTAIV used the 360 as the lead platform then the PS3 version would in the litteral sense be a port.

Even if CoD2 wasn't developed with the PC version as the lead platform, or they litterally programed everything side by side effectively (possible) it isn't worth this level of focus. Why you even bothered to focus on this particular thing is beyond me aside from maybe performing some damage control.

The reason I consider CoD2 on the 360 a port is because they did absolutely nothing to take advantage of the 360 hardware beyond straight up adapting the code.

Oh sure Mark, here's what happened to that lowlife *blah blah blah*



THAT IS ALL YOU HAD TO DO !




He probably killed himself....or ****ed a cat.

[THWIP*]

I clearly was talking about CoDII, but keep fumbling around in the dark old man.

YES, I KNOW........SO QUIT WAFFLING, AND ADMIT YOU WERE WRONG FOR A F***ING CHANGE. YOU TRIED TO SAY 'COD2' WAS A GENERIC PORT........AND ARE GROSSLY WRONG ON BOTH ACCOUNTS. ON THE FLIPSIDE, I NEVER SAID 'RESISTANCE' WAS GENERIC (THAT WAS 'HF'); I WAS SIMPLY DEFENDING A GAME YOU OBVIOUSLY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT, YET WERE ATTEMPTING TO TRASH.

 

[THWIP*]

Where is Riz?

KILLED HIMSELF........F***ED A CAT.........WHO KNOWS?

 

[Zenien]

YES, I KNOW........SO QUIT WAFFLING, AND ADMIT YOU WERE WRONG FOR A F***ING CHANGE. YOU TRIED TO SAY 'COD2' WAS A GENERIC PORT........AND ARE GROSSLY WRONG ON BOTH ACCOUNTS.

Was I really? Generic in how you used it is descriptive of the port. If they did absolutely nothing to change it or take advantage of the hardware they were adapting it to, then calling it a straight port or a generic port, could apply.

If anything you're the one who has been shown to be wrong about it not being a port (nice touch omitting everything I said in my prior post about ports BTW), and I already said out loud I had never played CoD2 after saying it had generic level design, so it's kind of obvious that I've never played CoD2... why do you think I said "exactly so how can anyone say that Resistance has generic level design if they've never played it?"

ON THE FLIPSIDE, I NEVER SAID 'RESISTANCE' WAS GENERIC (THAT WAS 'HF'); I WAS SIMPLY DEFENDING A GAME YOU OBVIOUSLY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT, YET WERE ATTEMPTING TO TRASH.

So it was damage control, wasn't it, old man?

 

[Mentok]

40 player matches?

I would like to see if they can actually do that.

 

[THE LIZARD#1]

Wow thank god somebody did a Resistance thread I really wanted to make one bad but I decided not to because...Yeah my last thread. But wow I just needed to post in this thread and set the facts straight with many people who are having reasons for hating this game that man aren't even close to being right.

1. This game is not a World War II shooter no matter how much it looks like one it isn't. The timeline is very well thought through and there is no indication that Hitler created these creatures. The game takes place in 1951 and if i'm not mistaken World War II ended in 1945 correct? Ted Price has also went to great lengths to say that World War II couldn't even happen because the threat by the scrourage known as the Chimera was to threatning to mankind.

2. People think that this is an alien game...sorry folks its not. The Chimera is a species of unknown origin. They haven't come from outerspace and no one really knows where they came from either underground or in a laboratory. Insomniac has visited Russia many times and kept asking folklores about messed up things that they can tie with their creatures. The Chimera are brutal and have a natural goal of harming mankind.

Which this takes an interesting spin when we have found of through a leak that there are actually humans that co-exist with the Chimera. These humans are former Russians and are pretty F**KED up in the head. The reason why they are with the Chimera is because these people love to bring harm to humans, they like to mess them up good and kill them in very brutal ways. They also perform ritualistic sacrifices with Children and humans maybe to the Chimera but no one knows yet... They have been given the name "The Cloven" and according to Webster Cloven means to adhere firmly and closely or loyally and unwaveringly.

3. The story is not generic, I have yet to see a story that has some of the elements that Resistance has. The Chimera are mutated humans sure thats been done but there is a huge mystery behind it. Also has there been an FPS that goes to great lengths to change the history timeline. No usually people get sloppy like Wolfenstein and just have the event with no background story as to how he came upon it and what sparks the interest.

4. The weapons are not generic either. Sure many people say the Bull's Eye is a needler rip off no its not. Sure it has homing bullets so what thats all you can compare. However these bullets are more effective and are better at seeking because you can tag the enemy or an object. Also the auger which is a gun that can fire through walls but when the bullet is going through the wall it slows down. You can also make a shield for yourself to have you fire go through but none come in. You have the hedgechog with sweet needles.

I mean this game is going to be amazing, the real sad thing though is that it gets one glance and given a label like World War II shooter, Call of Duty with aliens, generic story. No this game has more going for it than meets the eye and given the talent of Insomniac behind it is a huge plus. This game is definatly going to be a well known FPS and might do what Call of Duty 2 did for the 360 on the PS3.

P.S. The number is at 40 players right now and trust me Ted Price is hinting that number will grow. If anyone can pull off this many people online its Insomniac.

 

[블라스]

Well, according to the B.P.R.D., Hitler died in 1958.

 

[THE LIZARD#1]

Well, according to the B.P.R.D., Hitler died in 1958.

But with the Chimera spreading rapidly through out the continent and take over most of Europe they over took all of Germany then Hitler probable was killed but who knows. Ted Price said that figures in our past will play a huge portion in the game like Einstein, maybe Hitler, Winston Churchill. So who knows.

P.S

Gammy I never get old of your Avy lol, who is that?

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Ted Price has also went to great lengths to say that World War II couldn't even happen because the threat by the scrourage known as the Chimera was to threatning to mankind.

So it's not a WWII shooter, just a war shooter set in the same era with the same characters and the same weapons? Okay, great.

2. People think that this is an alien game...sorry folks its not. The Chimera is a species of unknown origin. They haven't come from outerspace and no one really knows where they came from either underground or in a laboratory. Insomniac has visited Russia many times and kept asking folklores about messed up things that they can tie with their creatures. The Chimera are brutal and have a natural goal of harming mankind.

Aside from the contradiction brought in from the first two sentences, it doesn't matter where the "Chimera" come from, they're still like 90% of FPS cannon-fodder out there.

Which this takes an interesting spin when we have found of through a leak that there are actually humans that co-exist with the Chimera. These humans are former Russians and are pretty F**KED up in the head. The reason why they are with the Chimera is because these people love to bring harm to humans, they like to mess them up good and kill them in very brutal ways. They also perform ritualistic sacrifices with Children and humans maybe to the Chimera but no one knows yet...

That sounds familiar.

Also has there been an FPS that goes to great lengths to change the history timeline.

And there have been a bunch of well-thought-out "alternate history games", Iron Storm being one of the first.

4. The weapons are not generic either. Sure many people say the Bull's Eye is a needler rip off no its not. Sure it has homing bullets so what thats all you can compare.

This game, and it's weapons, are crap. I really wish you could see this, for your sake much more than my own. I'm not going to go through the trouble of proving it, because
1. That would take ages.
2. You wouldn't care anyways.
but if you can't tell from the videos, you'll tell from the first hour or so of play.

P.S. The number is at 40 players right now and trust me Ted Price is hinting that number will grow. If anyone can pull off this many people online its Insomniac.

Actually, it would be DICE. Insomniac, as far as I know, doesn't do a lot of online games.

 

[블라스]

Ahh..that's Will Arnett playing G.O.B. Bluth from Arrested Development, doing his world famous Chicken Dance.

 

[THE LIZARD#1]

Personally I think everyone should stop doubting Resistance and just wait for it to come out, keep an open mind. IGN keeps saying that Insomniac is saving the huge OMFG moments for the game and don't want to spoil them.

And man whoever says Ratchet and Clank are bad games you bite your tongue , those games revelutionized the platform gener.

 

[THE LIZARD#1]

WHF Deadlock and Up Your Arsenal were online and man they have gotten **** load of awards for it.

I love how people are saying these weapons such when people are splooging their pants of the ridiculous Gears of War chainsaw/Assault Rifle gun. Wow that’s so original!

I love how people are saying these weapons such when people are splooging their pants of the ridiculous Gears of War chainsaw/Assault Rifle gun. Wow that’s so original!

Because the chainsaw bayonette was cool looking and didn't function exactly like every other gun?

I'll admit, the chainsaw isn't revolutionary, no one's saying it is, I'm not even saying I'm going to use it. This is completely beside the point. Gears of War is going to be an amazing game, because at it's core, it's an amazing game. The chainsaw is just there as a bloody melee for close quarters (and it's more effective than hitting someone with a gun or a fist).

Resistance could also have a chainsaw bayonette, and totally suck, because at it's core, this game was made to fill a "void" as Zenien puts it, instead of scratching an itch of a brilliant designer.

 

[THE LIZARD#1]

WHF if you wanted to explain why the weapons suck by all means tell me I will listen, and i'm not trying to sound like a dick I will listen because everyones opinion to me matters and thats why I defend the game is because sometimes I don't like hearing the negative feedback.

But the real reason why I get so upset when people put the game down is because they always say things that are totally wrong. I mean they say this is a World War II shooter with aliens. One its not World War II so what if it happens in the sametime era woop de do. Come on Resistance is just trying to go back in time and do it when mankind is not technologically advanced I love that idea. Future first person shooters have been done a ton of times and the Ratchet and Clank game have amazing futuristic level design and very original.

 

[THE LIZARD#1]

But what say it isn't brillantly done? I mean come on the game has an amazing story that no one really knows about just little plot points. Also Insomniac is known for making original amazing weapons that haven't really been done before and sure they may look like other guns but trust me they will have something under the hood that we don't know about.

The level design isn't supposed to astound anyone, if everyone knows Insomniac they don't like to spoil the really amazing HOLY **** stuff, they like to keep that a secret and leave that as a surprise.

This game is coming along very nicely and the creatures to me look really tight I mean no matter how generic everyone wants to say they look if you look at previous Insomniac games you know the level of detail and the well crafted experience you get when you play one of their games. Trust me, this game is not going to be disappointing.

Resistance=Playstation 3 as Halo=Xbox

 

[WhatsHisFace]

WHF if you wanted to explain why the weapons suck by all means tell me I will listen.

This is pretty simple.

World War 1, or 2, take your pick, is the thematic backdrop for this game.

Now hold on for a moment before you scream "But it has mysterious creatures of unknown origin!!!!"

The thematic backdrop of this game, is World War 2. This means the look of EVERYTHING that is not alien. This is simply a fact, you can't argue it. At least not to someone who has the slightest ability of "recognition".

As such, the weapons are from that era, meaning
1. We've used them countless times in the countless other WWII shooters.
2. They are far less "effective" or even "fun" than the weapons of today.

"Now wait," I hear you say, "'Fun' is a subjective term. For one person it could be running a triathlon and for another it could be doing quadratic equations," and you'd be correct with that statement. But the rule of the gun is, the better it does it's job, the better it is. And just about every gun made today is better than the best the 1950s had to offer. Revolver conoisseurs (sp)may disagree, but this game doesn't have revolvers and conoisseurs (sp) are *******s.

Therefore, Resistance has inferior weapons, and you will like using them less for that very reason.

Therefore, the weapons of Resistance all suck.

"Hold on, Resistance has alien weapons"

Well, maybe it does. However, weapons don't suddenly become good when they are alien, or even if they produce a lot of particle effects. Just play "Prey" or "Black".

Especially so when they just rip off Halo's guns. Ripoff weapons aren't good, or if they are, it's so rare I can't remember a good one.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

But what say it isn't brillantly done? I mean come on the game has an amazing story that no one really knows about just little plot points.

How do you know it has such an amazing story when no one knows about it? I guess you must be going off the plot points, which are...
1. This game is an alternate history.
2. We have monsters of unknown origin.

Also Insomniac is known for making original amazing weapons that haven't really been done before and sure they may look like other guns but trust me they will have something under the hood that we don't know about.

I'm sorry, but machine, laser and hand guns have all been done before. Insomniac didn't pull a "Valve" and invent a "Gravity Gun" every time.

The level design isn't supposed to astound anyone, if everyone knows Insomniac they don't like to spoil the really amazing HOLY **** stuff, they like to keep that a secret and leave that as a surprise.

What's with all of the sudden familiarity with Insomniac? I guarantee they never kept "amazing HOLY **** stuff" under wraps before because nobody ever cared about Ratchet or Clank.

This game is coming along very nicely and the creatures to me look really tight I mean no matter how generic everyone wants to say they look if you look at previous Insomniac games you know the level of detail and the well crafted experience you get when you play one of their games. Trust me, this game is not going to be disappointing.

Hmmm, it seems you're under-exposed then. In order to see what sucks about this game, and how derrivative it is, you should play:

1. Doom.
2. Quake.
3. Duke Nukem. (3D or 64)
4. Goldeneye.
5. Half-Life.
6. Halo.
7. Farcry.
8. The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay.
9. ANY WWII Shooter.
10. Half-Life 2.

After that, you can watch just about any sci-fi movie to put together the two-piece puzzle that is the plot.

Resistance=Playstation 3 as Halo=Xbox

Unfortunately that's not going to hold. Resistance may be the PS3's best shooter when it comes out, but that will be a HEAVY qualifier as it is a launch title. Once "The Darkness" and "Half-Life 2: Super Pack" come out, hell, I'll even say "Unreal 2k7" because that's bound to at least have something good, not even you will remember this game.
