He's actually normal looking, it's just that the lighting is off in the pic...

IT MUST'VE BEEN RENDERED ON A 'PS3'. t:

God none of you Xbots read S**T, Mr. Stevenson told us that the color quality has been lost in the transistion of the video, meaning its not the color and the lost lighting and shadows.

I knew you guys would come in here and make ridiculous comments, face it you're trying way to hard to not like this game and coming up with stupid arguments now that can totally be thrown off to the side like a rag doll and not have to look at it a second time.

You first comlained about lightning, IGN says its the best lighting they have ever seen in a video game period. They said it was astonishing at how natural and real it is.

Also IGN was the one who made the comment about the 256 times more powerful. Don't think it was a statement, but a question. I didn't know the power of the Xbox and people said it was a lot more powerful than the PS2 so I figured if PS3 is doing 256 times than Xbox must be around the same area where I guess they aren't because people seemed to be floored by that.

Resistance is turning out to be an amazing game, I just don't understand why people are not excepting it. It goes a long way to say that Resistance is the Halo Killer Sony has been looking for and coming from IGN it must be true.

 

[Aiden]

We are "excepting" it as you put it

We are "excepting" it from the Halo killer and good lighting category

^Sorry, i'm just pissed that you guys haven't been reading about the game. THOSE F**KING SCREEN SHOTS ARE LIKE THREE WEEKS OLD!

Those are clips from the huge 60 minute Presentation in New York, it has the giant Chimera and the Grimsby fish warehouse.

Wait until Tokoyo Game Show to make a decision.

Oh and Mr. Stout helped clear up the whole 256 times more powerful thing. I guess IGN misunderstood

I tracked down the quote to a misunderstanding. In the presentation about character art, our lead character artist mentioned that some of the characters in the game have 256x the pixel information that a R&C character did.

I think that was misunderstood to say that the PS3 as a whole can store 256x as much.

I asked him if he could send me a quote clarifying what he meant:

One of our typical PS2 characters had a single 128x128 pixel texture applied to it. A typical character in Resistance has several sets of much higher resolution textures applied to it. The Menial for instance has two sets of 512x512 textures applied to it. If you do the math, just two 512 maps are 32x the number of pixels that a ps2 character would have had mapped to it. If you multiply that by the potential number of maps we apply to a character (8) then we arrive at 256 x the amount of pixels mapped to a character in order to get all the effects that are available. Not all characters and surfaces use all 8 mappable attributes, but some surfaces are 256x.

I think you're right. People are far, far, far to eager to rain on this game's parade. Constantly looking for whatever they can to pick the game apart. I don't understand where this vicious slamming of Resistance has come from.

The most recent IGN interview slated Resistance as being a really top game, and still people feel the need to kick up a holy fuss about bloody muzzle flashes, as though suddenly, without that particular lighting effect, the game is going to bomb.

People need to give Resistance a chance.

^I know Half Life 2 has nothing what people are talking about, Muzzle flashes that light up the area around them yeah right. Also dude IGN said this is by far the best Next-Gen game that has the all around package. Right out of the box amazing single player and amazing multiplayer, they are saying this game is just amazing in every aspect.

How can you dismiss that?

Whatever I’m just going to wait and see how Resistance turns out, but I bet you guys are still going to bash this game even if it clearly can surpass Halo. I think everyone on this board who bashes Resistance is just intimidated by the game, either because they aren't going to get to play it or because they don't want to like it but subconsciously they do.

Like us Sony fans used to do with Halo, that’s how I view the slamming. Its nothing but pure intimidation.

THAT'S THE KIND OF STUPID COMMENT THAT KEEPS THIS THREAD IN TURMOIL, 'LIZZY'. 'HALO' HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS. OTHER THAN THE DIE-HARD 'HALO'-ZOMBIES, MOST EVERYONE KNOWS THAT HALO/HALO 2 IS NO LONGER THE FRANCHISE TO "BEAT". THE CONSTANT REFERENCE OF "HALO KILLER" IS ANNOYING AND RIDICULOUS. REVIEWERS AND FANS ALIKE, SIMPLY NEED TO LET IT DIE.
'R:FOM' NEEDS TO AIM MUCH HIGHER, AND TRY TO OUT-GUN 'COD2' AND 'GEARS'.......WHICH WILL BE DAMNED HARD, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO DO. THE ONLY LOGICAL COMPARISON I COULD DRAW BETWEEN 'HALO' AND 'R:FOM', IS THAT THEY ARE BOTH OVER-HYPED, MEDIOCRE SHOOTERS, THAT ARE SEEN AS SYSTEM-SELLERS.
BUT THE ONE THING 'HALO 1 & 2' HAS OVER 'R:FOM' IS THAT THEY DID HELP PROPEL THE 'XBOX' TO STARDOM, AND WERE LARGELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE '360' BECOMING A REALITY. 'R:FOM' WILL BE A LAUNCH TITLE FOR AN OVERPRICED CONSOLE WITH ALOT TO PROVE, AND A VERY SHORT SUPPLY WITH WHICH TO DO SO. SO, IN THAT RESPECT, NO......IT HAS NO CHANCE OF BEING A "HALO KILLER".

 

[Avalanche]

IS THAT THEY ARE BOTH OVER-HYPED, MEDIOCRE SHOOTERS, THAT ARE SEEN AS SYSTEM-SELLERS.

We're in no position to call Resistance a mediocre shooter. That's something we'll need to save until we've actually played the game rather than seen a couple of shots and videos.

I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT THAT UP..........BECAUSE BY THE SAME TOKEN, 'LIZZY' IS IN "NO POSTITION" TO BE HYPING THE HELL OUT OF THIS GAME AS A "HALO KILLER", "FLAWLESS", AND SO ON.

Half Life 2 has it. Doom III has it. F.E.A.R has it. Even the first freakin' Splinter Cell had it. Seriously what are you trying to pull?

Also dude IGN said this is by far the best Next-Gen game that has the all around package. Right out of the box amazing single player and amazing multiplayer, they are saying this game is just amazing in every aspect.

How can you dismiss that?

What if I bring you quotes from the very same people that said GREATER words of praise about Mass Effect, Gears of War, Spore, Bioshock, and yes, Halo 3? Those very people were calling Half-Life 2 very much as the best game ever made even before it's release. If I recall correctly, Doom III was also often given the same treatment.

Can you dismiss that?

I've been reading previews for many years and just about every title is mentioned as "looking good" at least, no matter how underwhelming it is. The only way to properly judge a game before it's release is to simply look at gameplay videos and come to a verdict yourself. Pardon us if we're smart and competent enough to make our own opinions and not being told by media journalists as to what is or is not good. All that I have seen from Resistance looks decent so far, but to me it hardly looks as impressive as even Rainbow Six Vegas.

Whatever I’m just going to wait and see how Resistance turns out, but I bet you guys are still going to bash this game even if it clearly can surpass Halo.

It will be a short-lived victory then, as Halo 3 is just around the corner. And our hearfelt congratulations to Insomniac for "beating" a game that is half a decade and a complete generation older. :rollyes:

No, I believe Resistance is getting this much flak because of how much you hype it and because of your comparison to other titles that are obviously superior. And because none of us have to resort to the age old "but those screens are only so many weeks old" "the E3 build was over a year old" excuses. You can't seem to stop in your rant about how "amazing" this game is going to be, yet God forbid if any actual criticism is hailed at this game, you tell us to "hold off" our judgement. Well gee whiz buddy, why don't you do the same as well? The day you stop creaming your pants about Resistance and stop mentioning it in this and every other thread you post in is the day we'll stop giving a damn about the game, because frankly to me, it has never been intriguing enough to warrant a look. I just come here because it's the mostly lively thread with discussions and arguments. If it weren't for all that, this game can go rot for all I care.

 

[Avalanche]

Again, we're in no position to comment on what games are 'obviously superior', or obviously not superior, to Resistance. Until you've played the game, you've no right to claim other games are 'obviously superior'. Aside from graphics, you have little else to base a comment like that on.

And I do wish we'd stop talking about bloody muzzle flashes.

"OMFGZZZZ!!! Resistance doesn't have muzzle flashes, and other games do. Resistance totally sucks. Resistance sucks ass. No muzzle flashes. HAHAHA!!"

I mean come on. Muzzle flashes. Who gives a ****?
