16 players is fine imo. One of the things I didn't like about R2 online was the insanely huge maps and the player count barely reached 20 (at the time I played it) on the biggest maps. The map sizes on R1 were perfect if you ask me.

not really, if the game is alot better than the first 2, then sacrifices have to be made in order to make a better game. i have faith in R3 and the devs. and im sure they will deliver so be patient and wait for the beta and we shall see. but im fine with the 16 players online though
Yep, I am disappointed. Resistance 3 looks awesome and I will be buying it no matter what, but I was hoping for 32 players as well. How many 16 player multiplayer games are out there...a lot! so it's always nice to have a change of pace, but here's hoping it's good.
Well that is not a surprise given how much people were complaining that 60 was too big. I won't be shocked if the whole game ends up being too conservative. People complained about the second game and said they wanted it like the first, well you got it.
this is for the better imo, theres too many shooters out there that have huge maps, smaller maps and less players make sense for twitch shooters like resistance
Insomniac always delivers so ill just wait and see what happens. Im a little dissapointed but wont know until I play it. Hopefully they expand on the coop because I played that sometimes more than the competitive multiplayer.
Resistance 2 proved that more isn't always better. 64 players oniline was cool but in the end it wasn't a well made multiplayer experience. Halo Reach and Call of Duty have shown that less players with a more focused design can achieve better results. Insomniac listens to their fans well and I for one am glad to hear this news.
I think 16's fine with the right map size. It's all about killing people, right? I don't want to get lost on a board and not see anybody for 5 minutes. Also, is this going to get Move functionality?
The problem in Resistance 2 was not the size of the maps or the maximum amount of players, it was how players were assigned to them. Resulting in too few players on the maps. As many of you have pointed out in Resistance 2 you had the choice of big or small maps, now that is gone. Clearly the developers have not been able to solve the problem with two few players on the maps and big maps were out. I think players are prepared to wait for a good experience, look at the 256 player battles in MAG for example. Personally I think I would tire of these small maps faster, but it all feels a bit to Halo for me anyway.
