PS3 08 lineup , best lineup in history, just got better Resistance 2 Revealed

"RESISTANCE 2

I just got my latest GameInformer and its cover feature is Resistance 2!!!!!!

Checking it out now... will update. (didn't see this on first two pages so assumed it hasn't been posted)

EDIT 1: HUGE cooperative game... EIGHT-PLAYER story-driven campaign along side single-player campaign. SIXTY-PLAYER Competitive modes... HUGE United States Landscapes as backdrops.

EDIT 2: "It is, in short, a tour de force for the untapped might of the PlayStation 3"

EDIT 3: Narrative stays with Hale the whole time... not Rachel. Hale shot down in Iceland, escapes to US and becomes part of program called Sentinels...

EDIT 4: Chameleon.. Stalker with total cloaking ability

EDIT 5: Overcoming stigma that boss encounters don't work in FPS games..

EDIT 6: Eight player coop over PSN, two player local

EDIT 7: CLASSES! Unique character with one of three basic templates... tank with heavy weaponry, special ops for distance (bullseye modified with zoom), medic

EDIT 8: Online matching... standard difficulty discarded for scaled challenges for team skill..

EDIT 9: Partially randomized geometry... levels are different with each playthrough

EDIT 10: again... 60 players online. want sense of epic b attle.. dont want fast-furious gameplay to be focus, more focused on squad v squad.

EDIT 11: will log into smaller four-to-eight man lobbies for each squad... encouraging communication and camaraderie, squad will be tasked witha particular objective. careful level design aims to deliver intense combat zones or small team conflicts that flow within arena of larger battle.

EDIT 12: Dedicated gaming community with stat servers for faster matchmaching than any console game of 2007. full-featured profile pages through myresistance.net will incorporate social networking concepts. open clan and party system to encourage community...no player invites needed.

EDIT 13: Aiming to deliver mobile-phone-quality sound.

EDIT 14: Futher tapped power of PS3... more enemies onscreen, better AI, better lighting and shaders (SCREENSHOTS LOOK AMAZING!!!). More comples normal mapping and detail mapping combine to deliver textures that look amazing from afar and at extremely close distances.

EDIT 15: AI getting a lot more attention.. will scaled on-the-fly to players perspective and viewpoint... aka enemies cloesr to the player will actually have more spohisicated AI routines than those further away. assailants in your direct field of view received heightened intelligence. easily more cunning than before

EDIT 16: listened to complaints... working on solution to long checkpoints and health system. not positive what final solution will be.

EDIT 17: "Our time playing was a blast"... each character class contributes in a unique way and "we loved the strategy-laden medic"... unique sense of teamwork

EDIT 18: Mysterious "Cloven"

EDIT 19: "Resistance 2 will be too epic to dismiss as anything but one of the biggest, boldest, and most high-reaching titles of 2008. It's a game that won't be ignored." [END ARTICLE]

RELEASE: FALL 2008"

For a single console its potentially one of the best hands down. But I wouldn't call it the best yet until the reviews are in.

How can you have a review for a LINEUP? We're talking about upcoming games, of course there's no reviews yet.

I'm laughing at every cow who thinks R2 is an 08 title.goblaa

If they say Fall 2008 we can at least hope for the holidays

Best line-up in history? I didn't realise Ninja Gaiden 2 was multiplat :|

Better have M/KB support.Blackbond

NO. DO NOT WANT.

The FragFX is bad enough.

The article states that it will be out in the fall of this year. Remains to be seen if this will happen or not.

Ouch..sounds like jealousy to me. So far Insomniac has released 1 game EVERY year (Resistance 1, Ratchet and Clank). Plus it has been confirmed by the developers its indeed an 08 release.

You know... unlike a certain game starting with an H that took 3 years in development which hasnt been much of a great improvement, keeping the same old gameplay and ignored the effort to do something ground-breaking..

Agreed.

Aww c'mon :). Ninja Gaiden 2, which will be a fantastic game, can't compare to all of the 2008 PS3 titles. Like last year 360 had the best lineup, 2008 will be PS3's year (even greater than 360's 2007 O_o)

Even if this info is true, GeoW is still higher on my most wanted list.

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Why are you laughing? From how things look it could be one of the best. If I said "THE BEST" I would allow you to laugh at me :)

I've been gaming since the SNES days and this is what I beleive. MGS4, Resistance 2, LBP, Gran Turismo, KZ2, Tekken 6, WKC, and FF13 (Japan). If these games live up to their expectations then why not?

Also never in history have 3 known killer app titles been released for a sinlge console. The PS3 may just do that this year.

I doubt it.

Also, even PS2 has had years to look more promising than the PS3's current year. Heck, even Dreamcast.

The thing with PS3's 2008 is that it LOOKS more promising than Xbox 360's 2008; however..this hasn't been proven yet due to the fact that the year has just begun :|. Also, the fact that it LOOKS more promising than it's competition this year hardly makes it the best ever...especially since the year hasn't even passed yet.

Put those crystal balls away; PC will forever hold the title of best line-ups (1998, 1999, 2004).

Alot of Lemmings (including myself) said the same thing about 360 2007 and it turned out to be true. So far all signs point to yes. Alot of the exlcusive PS3 titles are known killer apps that sell millions of copies. I highly (I stress HIGHLY) doubt these games will flop. And I've said before that "If these games live up to their expectations".

Who waits for reviews these days? This! IS! SYSTEM WAAAARS! :lol:. Hype central man :).
