R:FoM dissapointing

R1 was my life for a year after I got a launch PS3, I loved it. But when I go back to it now it just doesn't stack up compared to other games out there. However, I am convinced the boys from Insomniac will deliver with R2, I think it will be a GOTY contender

how could you say that...you must play it with dualshock 3 and HDMI and you will feel that you are making IT with aliens but god damn to say the truth its the BEST FPS I EVER PLAYED i personally like it more then Halo and half life :p its really cool and btw i played all insomniac games except the new R&C i am gonna get it soon but this one Resistance is a very very very VERY good start as an fps for them

like many launch games, it hasnt aged well. it was made more like a last gen fps. but if you played it at launch, it wouldve been more impressive. though the pacing in r:fom is better than many fps's that have been released since then.

it was the best launch game, but in comparison to other FPS's, it really doesnt compare, but i still had a great time online and the story was pretty good.

Im expecting alot more out of R2. An american setting (hooray, no more issues with the Brits!), SIXTY PLAYER ONLINE (WITH 70 MAPS), and online co-op will be pretty sweet. it looks astounding, to say the least.

You should try Timeshift i think its awesome the enemys get gibbed and the effects are kick ass

story not good gameplay rockin

To each their own. My girl bought me Resistance for christmas 06 & I thought it was a pretty good game...especially for us launchn owners who didn't have much to play.MusashiSensi

Exactly. At launch there really wasn't that great of a selection. Resistance was the saving grace. Everything else that came out around then was mediocre at best IMO.

Amen.

i got R:FoM and i have to say its really bland but im going to give R2 a chance because i heard that its story is told better and online, coop and others so tell me how u guys liked the gamebox0rocks

I never thought much of this game either. Looks good, but what FPS these days don't? Story is bland, as was said. I never liked the multiplayer either. Not many seemed to play online.

I bet the next installment will be better.

I thought the gameplay was very well done, but not groundbreaking or anything. The story was lousy, and the environments got kinda boring to me after a while.

Resistance was the first and only game ever capable of capturing my attention for over a year straight. I'm in my 30's and I haven't enjoyed playing a single game as much as Resistance since Missile Command on my Atari 2600 (back in 1980 before games had story lines). Anyone who thought the story was lacking was skipping the cinematics and just playing through the game.caber1

I never skipped a cutscene and I still found the story to be lacking. But I guess the general idea of the game just doesn't work for me. I am glad people did enjoy it though, that is what games are for. I paid $30 (Australian) for it in a deal with my PS3 and for that much, it was worth it.

To each his own ..

I also didn't find it to be all that impressive, I had to force my way through. To be fair though, I did play it over a year after it came out, and I can't truly judge the graphics since I don't have and HDTV....yet.

I think my history of PC gaming has just ruined all potential console shooters for me. I don't think they'll ever stack up.

I like it, I only bought it a month ago and I still thought it was great. Its a launch title so you have to few it through that point of view. Its nothing revolutionary now but then it was something. Its still a small step up from last gen and I'm hoping a few control issues are resolved for R2, mainly R3 being the button to aim down the sights of your gun. After playing any of the CoD games its hard to use R3 to zoom anymore when L1 or Left Trigger depending on your console preference is much more intuitive and comfortable to use. I have to many issues with accidently looking down the sights in a frantic up close fire fight to really like the control layout.

But I thought the story was told great, its not Shakespeare nor MGS for that matter so it doesn't have to be amazing. I like the way the story was told through WWII shooter style still picture scenes. I thought it was actually hilarious because WW2 games those cutscenes are always so bland and boring but the alternate history take on it was pretty fresh.

Agreeed. I hate the game i think its overrated. I mean i looked at some reviews of it yesturdays and it was getting 9's and 10's from people? honstley wtf.Altiar25

Oh .. the magic of opinions .. they are a crazy thing ..

I don't care if you liked it or didn't .. these topics are stupid now .. I've seen enough ..

Funny how you target the only thing it was lacking.

RFOM -multiplayer good (40players w/ all of the things I am about to mention)

weapons good

textures and modeling good

gameplay good

Ai good (enough)

I agree with everyone else, with the PS3 launch it was the only game that was good
It had next gen graphics, this includes the cutscenes since many games back then still (and many today) use 480p cutscenes because of being on PS2 etc. You can tell when you see them because the regular gameplay looks better than the cutscene.

I should add too that if you play the game now of course you would feel disappointed, this game has been hyped and has also been out for years (Nov 2006). I'm not saying you are subject to this but sometimes when people get hyped about a game (or movie) and it doesn't meet their expectation, they become disappointed.

Anyway that's your opinion and that was my 2 cents.

Respect others opinions, Guy. Not everyone will agree or disagree with everything.

it doesnt live up to some other fps's but isomianc did an amazing job for their first attempt. 5 years ago this game probably would have gotton amazing reviews.psn_Jaimzl

I agree with you saying that if you listen to all the hype and are getting into it now, you would feel very disappointed. I just recently picked up the greatest hits version and am playing it to get ready for R2. It was sort of a let down for me, since reading through alot of game sites they swear that this is the best game ever.

It's not a bad game, nor a crappy game, it's a good game and you have to give it credit for what it is. I am sure at launch this game was great, since ps3 had limited launch titles. But now with all these other games coming out, and having come out since then, it may feel mediocore. It's not, at all. After trying to erase all the hype that was associated with the game, I have come to appreciate it and enjoy it as well. The multiplayer is insane, and the actual game is improving with every level I beat.

After playing RFOM (and beating it soon!) I sort of amped for R2!

You can change the controller layout for each action. Just go to options and controller and scroll through them. :) I'm 1 chapter from finishing it and I got it about 3 weeks ago. And I've enjoyed it very much so. Just most people aren't patient enough cause after chapter 4 I think the game really takes off.

Definitly looking forward to R2 now after playing the first one.

same here i got that game back in 06 and playing online back then, there was like only a handfull a people on line i was one of the first

Maybe it is slightly dated but I had so much fun playing through the campaign co-op split screen with my friends that it makes up for any of the short comings. In fact it is the only shooter that is any fun at all to play co-op with.

On a slightly different note it is sad that the main story of R2 will not be available for co-op play.

visually it is the best PS3 game I have played (I have MGS4 but I refuse to play it until I beat MGS3). Like others my main problem is the storytelling. It is set up right but told alllll wrong. The idea of an alternate path taken in the 50's is really promising but is told poorly. I am about 8 missions in and I am already thinking it is all the same. Also there seems to be little pacing, what FPS gives you a tank like 3 missions into the game? It was just something you drive for like literally 3 minutes and then you are done with it. It would be better if there was a build up to the tank, some foreshadowing or some feeling of achievement for finally being able to drive a tank.

If you want a good story, try Half-Life. I really appreciate it now that I've played RFoM. I cared about the characters and enjoyed facing the enemies even though they aren't as smart as RFoM. RFoM just seems like shoot shoot shoot... follow some soldiers... shoot shoot shoot... cutscene... rinse and repeat
