After hearing rumors that the single player will be sub-hd, i am a little worried because i have a pretty large tv. I know an earlier build was supposedly sub-hd, but what about now? is this confirmed? because i think the e3 demo looked really good! it has an amazing atmosphere... and also, isn't r3 30fps now? r1 and 2 were 60fps and were also in hd! can this really be true? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OcnuGCtbqc

R1 and R2 were 30 fps and in HD, R3 is sub HD and 30 fps either insomniac are lazy or R3 is doing alot more on screen that it has to be sub HD.TheGuardian03
i could have sworn that they were 60fps. it looks like there are a lot of crazy effects going on at the same time like smoke and dust and fire and all that atmospheric effects. maybe

R3 has much better visuals than the previous games, and btw TC would you even know if it was good or bad if you didn't know the resolution? Most people complain about sub-HD but only after they actually discover it's sub-HD in the first place.

Is it using some sort of AA method? COD is sub HD but has AA and looks very nice. But i do despise jaggies.

960 x 704 res to be exact.

It's also using Quincunx AA which works well with R3's style.

They might use the AA samples to reconstruct 720p like they did in RAC: A crack in time, but I'm not sure yet.

R2 wasn't 60fps. Can't remember if R:FoM was 60fps, but I don't think it was.

No, it says they were going to analyse that movie demo but then they got a hold of a much newer build from sony.

The GoW 3 demo came with the District 9 Blu ray. It's an awesome movie. I didn't like the demo that much (though I'm not a big fan of God of War anyway :P).

The beta to me looks better than Resistance 2 multiplayer did, remember multiplayer often looks a little worse/different from single player. Hopefully it turns out to be 720P though especially the campaign, if they dropped the resolution that far it would be embarassing for Insomniac as developers. They almost would have been better to just "reskin" Resistance 2 at that point, surely they could have "tweakd" that engine, lowered the player count, and achieved 720P EASILY. So it almost doesn't even make sense for the game to run 900x700 or whatever is being claimed.

That being said Resistance 3 online is just another boring shooter anyway. I don't like the way it plays, so unless the campaign is jawdropping (which it won't be), then I can't see myself picking this game up until it's $19.99.

Lol people are trippin. It still looks a thousand times better then Halo Reach. Gears 3 is not that much better then Resistance 3 graphics either. So if your saying that Resistance 3 is ugly then what your really saying is that Gears 3 is not that far off from being ugly as well

The campaign looks hella fun, and 64 player online with dedicated server is nothing to sneeze at. Resistance has always been a series that's more fun to play than it is to talk about.

I'm pretty sure Resistance 3 is only 16 player, not sure if it uses dedicated servers though. Unless of course you're talking about resistance 2.

I thought it was 16 players for Resistance 3. I know Resistance 2 is in the 60s though.

You're right, they reduced it to 16. So lemme get this straight....it's lower rez....lower player count....AND uses "Sony Online Pass" to annoy people who rent games. Stick with R2 and teach these arrogant devs a lesson.

After Crysis 2, I'm staying away from MP that use killstreaks. All it does is promote camping. I played a little R2 last year and it wasn't bad, it seemed like a lot of running and gunning. What turned me off was there were only cult players left and it was hard to get the hang of it.

It looks far better than the previous 2 Resistance games. It's just a shame the multiplayer is so much more limited than 2 was.

You're not really proving any points by showing the PC version of Metro 2033 though.

I hate sub HD BullS**, Insomniac really disappointed me this time with this abysmal of a res on R3. Just look at KZ3, a game does everything R3 does and with even more graphics features, all at 1280 x 720 native and MLAA. There's no reason why Insomniac shouldn't do the same, this is the difference between Sony 1st party dev and the rest.
