Resistance: The Fall of Man (threads Merged)

If CliffyB said so, it's the Gospel truth.

 

[THE LIZARD#1]

Well if I told you Cliffy B's most anticipated game of this year is Resistance: Fall of Man and that he thinks it could be up for game of the year then I guess thats the Gospel Truth however all of the X-Bots don't want to admit that and say he's stupid because he likes Resistance thats just lame.

 

[블라스]

That's what's so cool about the guy, he likes GAMES not brands.
However, not everyone will love Resistance, Lizard.
Just like not everyone will love GoW.

 

[THE LIZARD#1]

^Thats true and I'm going to just say good for them because they are entitled to their own opinion, I just get a little heated when they make fun of me for liking the game thats when I get pissed.

But whatever, they are making fun of a game they haven't played or know much about so I think it will all change when the game comes out, like i'm going to change when I get to play Gears of War.

 

[Fenrir]

^Thats true, but Cliffy B. keeps saying if you don't run from cover to cover your going to get owned. So thats why I use that term.

Doesn't mean it's the only way the game plays. Jesus.

 

[Fenrir]

Speaking of personality thats also another thing I hate about Gears of War is the fact that it looks way to much like Unreal. Even though its developed with the same engine and I know its made by the same team, why can't they chose to do diffrent art styles.

You know that's a double-edged sword, don't you? You probably don't realize a lot of people's disinterest in this game has to do with the fact that it looks like a bastard child of WW2 shooters and panarormal alternate history spinoffs like Wolfenstein. Not very original either. To me, at least Gears of War has some very interesting and unique design elements while Resistance just looks...bland.

Judging a game that has not been released yet (be it gameplay or visuals) is an idiotic thing to do. Really, the amount of knowledge you have on the game is minimal at best. Stop bashing it in a thread that is meant for those who want to enjoy it. That is total trolling and really boring to read.

 

[LongDong]

Even so, we've been through this before. Gears of War pwns Resistance in the visuals department.

Show some gameplay screen grabs if you are going to say that, really you cannot compate a prerendered movie clip to gameplay. There is ALWAYS a big difference.

make this an apples to apples comparison if you wanna be fair.

What 'pre rendered movie clip'?

This isnt SONY were talking about

The second GeOW pic has alot of jaggies.

Those are not Jaggies. They are compression artifacts from the picture.

Go check out the gameplay movies of Gears of War on Gamespot, IGN and Gametrailers.com. Not only is Gears of War actually able to pull off those maginificient visuals in real-time, but it's been doing so since over year. And if you haven't noticed yet, the Unreal Engine 3 demonstration used assets from Gears of War. Really, if you want to argue, at least enlighten yourself with all the facts before you start questioning other people's statements. You're not a baby, I don't need to spoon-feed you screencaps and video links. Dig'em out yourself. Ignorance is no excuse.

There's a reason why everyone (including many Sony fanboys as well) call Gears of War one of the (if not THE) best-looking titles currently in development.

You're saying Gears of War isn't generic? Its basically Kill Switch on steroids, and the story is basically an alien invasion story thats done in like every sci-fi movie. Aliens that lived in the center of the planet and when we get settled in they come up from underground to totally kill everyone. Yeah thats not generic.

Oh and just to let you know it is the god given truth that you can't play this game any other way than using cover. If you don't use cover you will die. I'll find the video on youtube. Some poor sap tried to play the game without cover, the fool died within at least five seconds.

Dude he just wanted to compare them to Resistance, unless you can't find good in game shots that is Hey and read your statement in your post, Gears of War has been doing this for a year? Yeah Resistance has only 7 months to work on the game, and Insomniac already has amazing visuals for the game.

 

[TrailerCues]

Gears Of Wars may be generic but Resistance is not original. So there is no point in comparing the two. Both games have a HIGHLY been there done that feel to it

And what's so "original" about Resistance? What part of my sentence "you know that's a double-edged sword" didn't you understand?

And what's so bad about having to use cover? Shooters have been doing them for years - you can't rush in guns blazing in Half-Life 2, nor F.E.A.R (especially when there are more than three soldiers in the same room) nor can you go trigger-happy in the Rainbow Six games. And all of those games have been amazing.

You're saying as if having to run for cover in a shooter is a bad thing. Which couldn't be farther from the truth. Oh and Gears of War has a lot more than just cover and shoot gameplay.

 

[Fenrir]

I did so already a couple of times before. Unless one is too incompetent by his own admission to check this thread (or perhaps the Halo 3 thread, I think), there is no reason for me to repost the same thing over and over again. And Resistance looks good, but Gears of War looks even better. Period. Nothing in Resistance matches the level of visual sophistication you've seen in the Unreal engine 3 demo, and that demo was using assets from Gears of War.

Hey and read your statement in your post, Gears of War has been doing this for a year? Yeah Resistance has only 7 months to work on the game, and Insomniac already has amazing visuals for the game.

Uhhh...so? It still doesn't look better than Gears of War and that's the whole point.

.... You really dont know much

 

[Fenrir]

Oh yeah Gears has way better graphics

Gears of War simply looks better, as you can clearly see:

VS

Keyword : details. The armor and skin textures alone are noticeably better than Resistances, which has a sort of plain, washed-out look in this pic.

VS

Yes, Liz, Gears of War pisses all over Resistance in this comparison, not only in terms of character detail, but background as well.

 

[Fenrir]

VS

VS

VS

Look at the difference, I mean COME ON! Isn't it obvious?

Face it all of the X-Bots just go after bad screen shots to compare with Gears of War. Dude they are two totally diffrent games and yet you compare them with each other?

OK, so now you have a head to head comparison with your own pics. It doesn't exactly take a rocket scientist to figure out that Gears is simply in a class of it's own. And not only is it evidenced by the screenshots, but we have actually SEEN the gameplay in action and Gears looks every bit as good in motion as it does in those screens, if not better. And like I said before, the Unreal Engine 3 demo was using assets from Gears of War, plus it gives us a good idea and indication of the kind of nifty visual trickery (the lighting, physics, surface maps etc) Gears could pull off in-game.

Anyone who even harbors notions of Resistance looking even close to anywhere as good as Gears is delusional.

Oh and Liz, please don't start with the "Gears had a longer development time, Insomniac made Resistance look so good only in a year" crap. If it's anyone's fault that Resistance doesn't match Gears' visual oomph, it's Insomniac's for releasing the game before it has reached it's full potential. That would be like giving EA an excuse for the poor Batman Begins videogame simply because they cranked it out within a year, which is an absurd idea to begin with.

Fenrir, Atleast post gameplay screenshots.

Fenrir, Atleast post gameplay screenshots.

A lot of them are gameplay screenshots, Einstein (oh and if you hadn't noticed, a couple of Liz's Resistance screens aren't "gameplay screenshots" either, chum, so we're pretty even here). Look at the gameplay videos of Gears and the Unreal Engine 3 demonstration. Yes, and even if a couple of the screens aren't exactly lifted directly from gameplay, the videos show that the game does look as good in real-time believe it or not. Jeez, hasn't any of you been keeping up with current news or what?

When i posted that comment your second post didnt show up yet for me.
I was replying to your first post of screenshots.

 

[Mentok]

These are not representative of the in game quality of the models anyway. They added a whole heap of lighting effects and upped the detail in these models. They dont look this good in the game.

Thats one thing i like about UE3. The assets they build for the game dont need touching up to look good.

 

[Danalys]

they have different development cycles. gears the engine was up and running ages ago and has been ported and optimised over that time. it's still had slow down in the last build i saw running real time. in fall of man asset creation and engine building are concurrent. an effect is optimised then they move on to the next. wait for the final lighting model. it will show of work that isn't aparent yet. unreal tried to spend along time creating an engine that could last a while on next gen PCs and Consoles. but if others can make engines tailored to specific hardware, it should be surpassed soon enough. possibly right away. since i've seen other impressive engines. 3rd person games have different qualities to 1st person. lets not forget that the unreal engine runs just fine on the PS3. sony are helping certain studios to get more out of their system early tho. hence you get heavenly sword, which is more technically impressive than gears. lair which is technically more impressive than gears. assassins creed looks better than gears and it's multiplatform.

gears has also got all the graphical polish it will ever have. it hasn't improved in months. resistance has improved alot in only the past 2 months.

Do you even understand half the crap that you post?

I think you gave up months ago and now just post random 'This makes SONY sound better' comments.
