It says in the magaizine that the graphics are so amazing they don't need to pull a god of war and have pre-rendered videos they can just use the in-game graphics and you're still in awe.

God of War is ENTIRELY real time.

Zenien, I think this guy is one of the worst Sony fanboys ever (and by worst, I mean he sucks at fanboying).

You'll have to whip him into shape.

 

[THE LIZARD#1]

Dude okay you guys suck really bad, when i'm saying God of War has pre-rendered videos what do you call the videos where it looks real? When he talks to Athena on the ship and when he kills Ares at the end and comits suicide? Yeah those are called Pre-Rendered videos my friends.

Now that's such a ****ing rip-off of Quake IV. Wow.. Now I don't even want to hear anymore about this game. I'm CERTAIN now that it is a rip-off of at least one game. Also.. that global wind **** has already been done. OBLIVION. You should play more X360 games, get out more, and maybe not read so many Sony fanboy mags.

It'd do you a world of good.

Shut up noob, you know nothing about me. Whoop De do it reminds you of another game good job being able to put two and two together But if you haven't noticed everything is not original. No game is able to seperate itself from the pact and say that they've come up with something new. Half Life episode two is using portals when that was a real strong plus for Prey. So what now are you going to stop liking Half Life 2 now...

It doesn't just REMIND me of another game.. It is a blatant rip-off of the story of another game. Namedly, Quake IV. Also.. the noob thing is getting pretty old. I may not have as many posts as you.. but at least I don't have to call people noobs to win an argument. Pathetic.

Also, like I said.. the global wind thing has been done, in Oblivion.. so I don't see how COD3 is going to be much different, or couldn't work on the X360 [ESPECIALLY THE PC]. Your argument has been dismantled. Also, you just said that Resistance was an 'original' game, a fresh step away from GoW. Which video game have you played that has had aliens coming from the center of the earth, trying to devour the human race? None.

That's what I thought. Where have we seen aliens trying to turn humans into versions of them? Quake IV. That's what I thought.

Like I've said probably 50 times, the game is like a mixture of dozens of different games, but it still have high potential to bea good game itself.

A lot of the things they talked about for the Multiplayer is right out of Halo 2, not that it's a bad thing to look at what works in other games and incorporate it into your own. Heck that's how David Jaffe admittedly goes through the design process, and how he approached God of War.

 

[THE LIZARD#1]

Okay Extromaniac I'm just going to be the better person and apologize for getting off on the wrong foot, I'm sorry for calling you a newb thats old yes and thanks for reminding me of that. But I think now I know why you are talking to me about Cod 3 and the wind effect and being on a superior console. I explained that that was another persons post. It was on the Playstation forums and I was just trying to get the Resistance information and forgot about that.

But you can't say this game isn't going to be sweet. Like I said maybe it does have some other ideas to it so what, I mean Insomniac could bring a twist to it. Like in Quake the guy gets captured in Resistance the guy purposly gets captured so that he can really F**K up the production.

But the whole Gears of War thing is very un-original I mean like I said sure it can be done in another creative way but thats been the main story thats been driving the X-Files for a long time. Also there are a ton of movies/games that have these creatures living on a planet that we have never known about.

Gears doesn't take place on Earth it takes place on another planet in our solar system. Resistance is not a game about aliens, its a game about a virus of unknown origin that is not extraterrestrial its developed I believe by Russians. Theres a group of humans that are with the Chimera that are called "The Cloven" which brings harm to other humans and really like to mess them up good and perform sacrifices with children and other humans.

Resistance has a ton of going for it than meets the eye and please don't judge this game before it comes out and I promise I won't judge Gears until it comes out. But according to sources like OPM PSM 1.up and a ton of other people Resistance has been given the title "Playstation 3's first hit". So obviously Insomniac is holding out on the sweet things.

Again though i'm sorry for gasing you and calling you names

I'm not saying that it'll suck.. but the fact that he claims this game is original when GoW is just another alien FPS is completely unfounded, as well as not too bright. GoW really hasn't copied much that I can see besides the Human/Alien invader formula.. but with a better twist to it.

The only thing that made me lambast what he was saying about it's originality was that it is, indeed, not as original as he claims. It's annoying when people say something is better than something else because of originality, but then you find out it has taken and drawn ideas from many other games. Not that original. Maybe a good game, but originality is not what's going to make it good.

The fact that it does not take place on Earth makes it even more original. : / And I refer to any planet with humanity on it as an earth, it's a bad habit. Most games take place on earth, etc.. And the fact that they're coming from underground when most aliens are thought to come from outerspace is a clever plot point. It you don't want me calling Resistance out for lack of originality.. then don't try to say GoW isn't original.

 

[THE LIZARD#1]

I'm sorry for the comparision Extromaniac

But when i'm talking about originality I talk about weapons,character designs,some story elements,Controls.

For example during gameplay the Chimera are so brutal that they will actually jump ontop of you if you let them get to close. They will try and bite you and you have to shake the controller to throw them off before they take a chunk of flesh out of you. I thought that was original.

Most of GoW's story elements are very original.. along with the alien invaders build. Usually the aliens in games I see are scrawny but somehow are temples of brute force? They reflected the aliens brute force with stronger, more muscular architecture.

I also find GoW's weapons to be original.. I think it's the only game in existance where you actually have a chainsaw on your gun that can cleave enemies' legs and etc. off. Sure, they're going to have some of those normal FPS-type weapons.. but every FPS does.

 

[THE LIZARD#1]

Yeah man i'm sorry that i'm blinded by my anticipation for Resistance and don't really want to see the other things in Gears of War and other games I should get help Anyways again i'm sorry about getting off on the wrong foot and I hope Gears of War is all you want it to be

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Gears of War will be a lot better than Resistance. It's just apparent.

Hope you guys like the article, its really cool and a great read. Maybe this will answer some of your guys questions on Resistance?

 

[블라스]

Looks pretty cool.

 

[Extromaniac]

Looks pretty cool.

Looks good, but I still am anticipating GoW much more.

Epic is just the better known company, and they usually deliver where they say they will.

 

[THE LIZARD#1]

Sorry it got small at the end? I don't know what happened?

I know everyone is going to be shocked when I say this but I actually agree with this statement. Epic has the Unreal Engine and that is some impressive hardware. I like how Gears looks and personally I think its going to be sweet to see who wins game of the years Gears or Resistance because so far both of these titles are nominated.

When does Gears come out anyways?

I think it either comes out later this year or early 2007? I can't exactly remember.

Gears of War has been repeatedly rumored as an October game. However, I think GOTY will go to Zelda: TP.

 

[THE LIZARD#1]

Well Gamestop keeps telling me October 2nd 2006

 

[THE LIZARD#1]

TP is that even good? I haven't really looked that much into it, would it be up for something like that. I mean sure the old Zelda games could but usually when they are new games they don't have the same credability behind them if this makes sense?

No that doesn't make sense

 

[Zenien]

One thing, when talking about Gears of War, yes it's very impresive graphically, but you should also give credit where credit is due to Resistance. Gears of War has an admittedly low cap on the number of enemies and allies allowed on screen at any one time and the amount of active characters period. Its multiplayer number is also low compared to Resistance and a low teir in general for "Exclusive AAA game that has online multiplayer". In the Resistance E3 level alone, there were many entirely unscripted skirmish battles happening all around the player, that were happening without the players involvement, Gear is MUCH more focused on singular encountered directly involving the player. I'm not saying that Resistance is better visually then Gears, because Gears is better imo, but it makes sacrifices to look that good, just like Resistance makes sacrifices to do what it does. And while Gears is about visuals and a tightly controlled progressing environment, that is certainly not what Resistance is about.

So a graphical comparison between the two, when their focus is cleary different, is a bit out of place unless a direct comparison is made between them. Resistance clearly allows itself a much higher cap of "enemies/activities" on screen, so it's expected that the game wouldn't be pushing a Gears style graphical effect edge.

PS: Gears will probably be good for the Bald Space Marine fanatics. I heard it got good/great reviews from E3.
