this according to the games own devs

link

to them the game has failed because they feel as if they let fans down and they don't feel the feedback from r2 was as good as r1

R2 felt to............... how to put this....................Americans HERO (play American nation anthem here).

Also i felt the story in r1 was better then r2 despite Nathan hale being silentin the first. R2s characters also werent memorable other then hale where as I remember r1s characters as and wish they where in the second.

Hopefully r3 will start as hales mercy killer friend traveling to eu to meet up with R1s characters (+ more character dev put in and a seg of the game where you play as the other dudes past in russia). After playing halfway through the game the new Chimera leader will be reveled as hale himself still in human form but with Chimeran features.

resistance 1 was way better than resistance 2. I loved everything about R1, the 12-13 hour single player campaign, super-human difficulty mode, the health bar, the weapon wheel , splitscren co-op, online multiplayer....amazing game.

Resistance 1 multiplayer was a blast. Resistance 2's coop was fun but the competitive was pretty weak in comparison

Atleast they realize this, which means they can improve it. I was hoping Resistance 2 would be like an Uncharted 2, just smooth over the rough edges, add some new mechanics, have a really great story line, keep the insomniac flare cool weapons and such. But it was just a mess, the single when it was good was really good; when it was bad it was a chore to finish. nathan hale compared to nathan drake, that pretty much sums it up. I'm really hoping Resistance 3 is more like Resistance 1, but they still kinda evolve the series. I guess its a bit much to ask, im not sure how it scored so well. Thats what hype does.

You just really need an defined taste to truly appreciate Resistance 2's depth and gameplay. It's not your standard xbox mindless shooter.

i played R1 and i dont know, it just didnt click with me personaly. i mean action wise it was a good game and the multi was pretty good too. i really got to know it when my 360 rrod on me, the multi was pretty fun. my gripe was definatly the story, it just seemed so drab to me and i cant explain the real reason why it was how it was. maybe it was Nates akward silence all throughout, maybe it was the lackluster supporting cast in itself, i dunno. but if R2 is worse than R1 story wise thne ill have a serious problem convincing myself to get it. i wanted it but after hearing how the story is actually worse than the first, i may as well play the game post labotomy....

The campaign was decent, but the story was brutal

Co op mulitplayer was fun and competitive was a lot weaker in comparison. They need to change the gameplay significantly, it feels like you are floating

While the game is pretty good, I expected much better. RFoM had what I think it is a great storytelling and R2 ruined that for me.

All American Heroes, you got that right, so Insomniac you better fix this for R3.

Um no...Resistance 2 was better then 1 in every way...my god it was like a god like leap between the 2 in graphics, story, cutscenes, and AI.

resistance 1 had mario 64 graphics in areas, I remember walking through a bush in one area and noticing it was 2 2d images set in a cross configuration with code to make them turn with you so it looked like you were seeing a 3d image thats mario 64 tech right there. I never saw that in resistance 2, resistance 2 had better voice acting, hale actually talked, it had better pacing, better cutscenes it was harder then resistance 1, its online was better too, all resistance 1's online is is grenade matches.

I loved resistance 2.

Glad to see Insomniac acknowledging that the second one was a huge letdown to fans of the first. The only aspect of R2 I enjoyed was the coop. Everything else was a step down from RFoM.

R1 and R2 are garbage, IMO. The whole world war with aliens and hale have got to be the dumbest and lamest setting/character for a FPS.

If this is what the devs feel, I hope they learn from this failure, and make the third one better and end it at that.

This is actually a good thing, I bet they'll work twice as hard on R3 and it will deliver. :)

Dude, like amen to that. Fall of Man was sooo much better. Sooo disappointed with R2's campaign. Co-op should stay the way it was, though.

If you read the article, it actually says according to Insomniac, the overall fan feeback they received considered R2 to be a failure.

Personally I enjoyed R2 more than R1, but it was a lackluster sequel.

Resistance 2 wasn't as bad as everyone says. True, the first one is a hell of a lot better than R2 (it felt too staged for my tastes), and it's actually great to see a dev actually take the time to listen to fan's feedbacks and make improvements towards what gripes they've had. Not too many companies are this caring for their fanbase ;). Shocking, but I think they're taking it too hard on themselves...it's not like they made a pile of shovelware! Still, it's awesome that some people actually embrace feedback, positive or negative, and be so open about it.

i've always thought of resistance to be a fun game but not a great game. it's solid in every way but it just doesn't have that it factors the put it in elite catagory of games like KZ2, halo 3, uncharted 2 and so forth. a lot of that it due to it's unorigonality which shows even more in R2. don't get me wrong i'm not one to say all games need to be innovative but they must of something that sets them apart from the pack and R2 felt way too much like every other game

I disagree. The game is awesome, the graphics aren't the best but it has a solid SP and a very enjoyable MP. Too bad it wasn't good enough to make mestopplaying COD4. Now waiting for MW2 to leave that old game alone.

r2 was probably one of the least interesting games ive ever played, literally nothing about it was standout, but it was very polished. campaign was so boring it was unplayable. multiplayer was fun, especially the co-op, but i never would have played it if my tennant didnt own it.

"The hardcore fans of Resistance 1 were maybe a little bit disappointed. Those folks consistently expressing that - especially GAF [NeoGAF] - it was like your dog turned on you," Stevenson explained.

"That's the feeling of it. You had this dog that loved you. You loved the dog, too, but they expressed all this affection for you. And then suddenly the dog bites your hand and it's that feeling of, ooh, ow, that really hurts.

So cows, how does it feel when your top developers see you as mere dogs? :P

Resistance PSP > Resistance 1-2 PS3.

I don't know why... Maybe it's the crappy graphics or stale gameplay on the PS3 versions I don't like.

Think they should just scrap the whole IP and start something new again.

I think Resistance 2 was an improvement over Resistance 1 especially with the new weapons and 1960s feel. Many people disagree, but I personally love it. Overall, Resistance 2 is a great game IMO.

blazed0000

I didn't know you needed a refined taste to like boring shooters with a bland protaganist and dull gameplay. You are right, it isn't your standard xbox mindless shooter, it's a generic PS3 shooter with one of the lamest plots I've ever seen. Not much difference there.
