Um I dont want to wet anyones blanket, But isnt the Leviathan really really scripted? if so I wouldnt really call that a ''boss battle". :?

Also what kind of name is Leviathan!? the Leviathan is a biblical, supermassive water dragon/ sea serpent whos coils could wrap around the planet. It doesnt really suit a giant bug alien ape thing. its brother the biblical BEHEMOTH (a Massive beast that could wade through the Nile river) would be a much more fitting title I think.

now BRUMAK!! That theres a nametag you could put your money on when concerning weird alien monsters !!

but anyway it looks cool so who gives a flipper? :P

That's only one part of one boss battle that they showed off. There are still those giant Stalker-like things and probably plenty of other boss battles. Insomniac is trying to break the stigma that boss battles don't work in shooters, and Insomniac always delivers, so I still have high hopes and espectations.

no doubt its packed full of features but the gameplay still looks "been there done that". solid shooter but nothing on the level of half-life, gears, halo, cod4. nothing really stands out in the game itself and sets it apart

So you think CoD,Gears and Halo have deep characters? :lol:

By your logic no game stands out since they only have features.

Stop contradicting yourself. 8 player online with claisses is something that DOES stand out, you think characters and universes are the only thing that matter in a game? (even though Resistance does that pretty well)

Gears had a really boring story and pretty generic characters, so what makes gears stand out?

Coop is a feature it doesn't make the game distinct. there are games with 2,4,8 player coop we dont go around bragging about that. I suggest you head over to gametrailers and watch last weeks bonus round where 2 game journalists including jeff gerstmann say the same thing.

Gears stands out from other games. When i think of gears i think of gun with chainsaw attached and amazing cover system, with halo i think of masterchief, with resistance i think of how it put me to sleep.

I already saw that, and I respect their opinion.

" gun with chainsaw attached and amazing cover system " That there is a feature! Good job ignoring the whole story and characters thing, since thats where you were coming from. Also, you brag about a gun with chainsaw attached? >_>

Gears sets itself apart only because it's one of the first TPS games that proved to be fun, especially online. The SP sucked big time and there is nothing new gears 2 is doing.

Also, even gerstmann said it himself: Gears 2 does almost nothing new from gears 1! Almost all the critics there seem to be only wanting gears 2 because they loved gears 1. There isin't anything new that it is doing.

Also, what games had 8 player online co-op? Please elaborate :lol: I'll give you extra points if the game has cIasses. ;)

again you misunderstand. im not talking about features im talking about what makes the game distinct. there is nothing about resistance that stands out. the main character is boring, the enemies are boring, the story was told through really boring narration to a backdrop.

AND A BIG LOL @ you thinking gears sp sucked. Yes it 9.6/10 sucked, sucked so bad that it outscores mgs4 on gamerankings. Gerstmann didn't say that they did almost nothing new he said that it could be gears 1.5 and it would still be awesome.

And about that 8 player coop. there's a certain game.. almost a decade old with 8 player coop.. its called diablo 2...

You not liking the Chimera or Nathan Hale (he was boring in R:FOM to me as well) is your OPINION.

The game defnitely won't suffer due to this. Anyone who doesn't admit the insane amount of content and feature in R2 are impressive are:
A) Fanboys
B) Old People
C) Jack Trenton

P.S. The Chimera are aweome! (see that is also an opinion). What are you smoking?

Diablo 2 was more of an MMO than anything, so it obviously should have alot of people playing online >_>

"the main character is boring, the enemies are boring, the story was told through really boring narration to a backdrop." Sort of like Gears 1, yeah.

Yes gears 1 SP sucked. I played it myself, the reason gears got a 9.6 was mainly because of the multi-player modes. Also MGS4 got a 10 here. MGS4 > Gears 1

Gears 1.5 basically means that it'll have nothing new. There'll be the usual new MP game modes and new weapons but how else is it going to change?

Edit and off topic from the argument: The devs said there would be splitscreen co-op for the SP as well.

Well of course it isin't, but it was more of an MMO than anything else. It was only limited to 8 players because of technical limitations at the time. I own the game, dude.

are you sure that you can have 2 players on the same console playing competitive multiplayer? cause i hadn't heard that before. If so, that kicks butt. It would be like how Warhawk is i guess.

Halo 2 and 3 have this as well.

Not many games do, I believe the 360 version of UT3 does too. It's a great feature no doubt :D

Just posting this because I've noticed that a lot of users on this site (even PS3 owners/fans) are confused about some of these things, so I just wanted to clarify this for all those who wish to discuss this game.

Resistance 2 Game Mode Features:

SINGLE PLAYER CAMPAIGN

  • main story-line
  • one player only, no co-op available
  • massive 100+ ft boss encounters
  • plenty of new types of enemies and chimera
  • new dynamic AI (enemies have more complex AI the closer they are to you)

COOPERATIVE CAMPAIGN

  • seperate story-line parallel to the single player campaign
  • same Resistance universe but with different characters
  • branching story based on player choices, but no major variability
  • 2 players offline splitscreen available
  • 1 player + up to 7 others online via PSN
  • 2 players splitscreen + up to 6 others online via PSN
  • 3 character classes: soldier, medic, spec ops (sniper)
  • partially randomized geometry (unsure*)

COMPETITIVE MULTIPLAYER

  • 1 player + up to 59 others online via PSN
  • 2 players splitscreen + up to 58 others online via PSN
  • up to 4 player offline splitscreen
  • squad-based and task-based gameplay
  • log into smaller 4-8 man lobbies for each squad
  • various gameplay modes
  • partially randomized geometry (unsure*)

*Note: Insomniac mentioned that there will be partially randomized geometry, (meaning that maps will vary slightly every time you play them), but they didn't specify whether it was for co-op campaign only, competitive multiplayer only, or for both. If anyone has a link or a source to clarify this, that would be greatly appreciated. I know it won't be for the single-player campaign, because it's pretty much all scripted and doesn't have a branching storyline like the co-op campaign.

Dont forget the 70 multiplayer maps that ship with the game! :shock:

You know what would make me luv this game? If you could play 2 players online with DIFFERENT PSN accounts :o

It would be. Im surprised more shooters dont support this, it would have been great in COD4. Halo has it, but other than that i dont know of any other shooters that support it.

Thats sounds like gears more to me. Also gears and COD4 didint feel all to new either. COD4 had a very boring SP and I didint care about anything that happend. Gears has chainsaws yea,but insomiac does awesome weapons too. But I know your a HUGE lem so whats the point. I will admit though that both gears and cod4 had a fun MP.

It would be. Im surprised more shooters dont support this, it would have been great in COD4. Halo has it, but other than that i dont know of any other shooters that support it.

Yeah splitscreen in COD4 MP would have been very cool. I think it would have sacrificed the smooth 60 FPS they wanted to keep. IW said they threw everything out that would allow 60 FPS.

I really hope there is splitscreen in the Co-op campaign. That way I'll be able to play with all of my brothers at one time.

COD4 engine at 30fps would probably look sweet though.

Let the haters hate, it's what they do.

R1 was awesome and everything they are adding to R2 will make it miles better.

no doubt its packed full of features but the gameplay still looks "been there done that". solid shooter but nothing on the level of half-life, gears, halo, cod4. nothing really stands out in the game itself and sets it apartmephisto_11

But Gears isn't "been there, done that"??? Other than the chainsaw, hammer of dawn, and revamped cover system in Gears 2, everything in Gears is "been there, done that". Nothing else sets it apart.

What stands out about Resistance are its weapons. Resistance 1 had some of the most innovative and gameplay-changing weaponry I've ever used. Resistance 2 simply expands on that. You can't refute that.

And don't even try to argue that Halo had a similar arsenal. Halo's weapons are all standard FPS guns + their Covenant equivalents. In Resistance, the Chimeran arsenal is actually not just a repeat of the human arsenal - and there are unique weapons to each arsenal.

Add some useful and innovative alternate fire capabilities on top of that, and you've got some awesomely fun gameplay. Insomniac has been knonw for awesome weapons from Ratchet and Clank, but now they put them in an FPS.

Half-Life does have some unique weaponry as well, but that's multiplatform, and besides, none of the weapons from Resistance are rip-offs of Half-Life weapons.

Furthermore, Resistance is the first FPS to have 8 player online co-op with up to 2 players splitscreen and 3 different character classes and a separate storyline from the singleplayer campaign! It's like you're buying two games in one - and then there's the competitive multiplayer!!

Resistance was a launch game that could handle 40 people online in an FPS with NO lag. Now Insomniac is on their third PS3 game and have once again upped the bar to 60! They've also taken measures to prevent cluster****s by having a squad-based task-based system. It's like the two teams are fighting a ****ing war wiith several different battlefronts!!

Someone else in this thread mentioned preferring quality over quantity. But with Resistance 2, you don't have to choose between the two - you get BOTH QUANTITY AND QUALITY in your game. Resistance 2 will definitely match the quality of Gears 2, but Gears 2 can't touch the quantity offered by Resistance 2.

In the end, this arguing is just for the sake of discussion, because it all boils down to this: if you own a PS3 and like shooters, you'd be crazy not to get Resistance 2. By the same token: if you own a 360 and like shooters, you'd be crazy not to get Gears 2.

There is splitscreen for the co-op campaign, both online and offline, but it's a max of 2 people per PS3.

I already saw that, and I respect their opinion.

" gun with chainsaw attached and amazing cover system " That there is a feature! Good job ignoring the whole story and characters thing, since thats where you were coming from. Also, you brag about a gun with chainsaw attached? >_>

Gears sets itself apart only because it's one of the first TPS games that proved to be fun, especially online. The SP sucked big time and there is nothing new gears 2 is doing.

Also, even gerstmann said it himself: Gears 2 does almost nothing new from gears 1! Almost all the critics there seem to be only wanting gears 2 because they loved gears 1. There isin't anything new that it is doing.

Also, what games had 8 player online co-op? Please elaborate :lol: I'll give you extra points if the game has cIasses. ;)

mephisto_11

again you misunderstand. im not talking about features im talking about what makes the game distinct. there is nothing about resistance that stands out. the main character is boring, the enemies are boring, the story was told through really boring narration to a backdrop.

AND A BIG LOL @ you thinking gears sp sucked. Yes it 9.6/10 sucked, sucked so bad that it outscores mgs4 on gamerankings. Gerstmann didn't say that they did almost nothing new he said that it could be gears 1.5 and it would still be awesome.

And about that 8 player coop. there's a certain game.. almost a decade old with 8 player coop.. its called diablo 2...

Umm, Gears of War's SP campaign did suck. The game was overpraised simply because its visuals. The multiplayer was okay, but the weapon system wasn't as balanced as it should have been.

Made some slight changes to the OP - splitscreen online multiplayer is confirmed for co-op and TBA for competitive, as well as partially randomized geometry (confirmed for co-op and TBA for competitive).

Actually, split-screen online multiplayer for the competitive mode is still TBA (to-be-announced) so who knows, Insomniac might be working on that right now! (well, that's what I'm hoping for anyway :P)

I really hope so, because thats a feature that would set the game above and beyond other FPS offerings this year, and would convince me to buy it on day one.

I can confirm that Spec ops is not just a sniper.

See this in a MMORPG way.

Medic = healer class

Soldier = Tank class

Spec ops = Damage Dealers

There will be more then one weapon for each class. Yes Spec ops has the sniper, but you can equip other weapons.

I know that - I was just clarifying what the main purpose of the spec ops class is for those who would have no idea.

Hey can you post a link to where you got this info from. The one about 2 players splitscreen + up to 58 others online via PSN [possibly - TBA] and 2 players splitscreen + up to 6 others online via PSN [confirmed] Thanks!
