Resistance 2 has a lot more to improve on than Gears 2, that's why more hype...

Resistance 1, was mediocre. The only redeeming quality was superb online (40 players), and great weapons (a Insomniac trademark).

Resistance 2 is expanding the online, but also adding a lot of new features, and pushing limits (8 players co-op), custom online campaign, 300 ft boss battles (for better or worse).

Gears 2 on the other hand, doesn't have much to improve on, except the abysmall story. They just need to balance the gameplay a bit, get rid of host advantage. And their set...the gameplay formula is pretty much perfect and doesn't need any overhaul.

From what I've seen Epic Games are being more conservative, sticking to what worked w/ GeOW, while Insomniac, is trying new things, some unheard of on console games.

I agree because I posted this before.

Resistance will just blow the world in half.

Scientists will begin to develop a chimearan virus.

It will infect the lemmings and kill them.

Resistance will be better than gears.

R1 was far from mediocre.

Yea, and Godfather 2 was terrible because the first Godfather was so great and it had nothing to imrpove upon. (sarcasm obvs)

Different medium of entertainment, but you get the idea.

Just because Gears was great doesn't mean they won't be able to make a great sequel because they can't make enough improvements.

Gears 2 doesn't need to improve on anything and it'll still be great.

R1 needs lotsa improvements to be in the realm of Gears's greatness.

Is gears liked more because its easier to say?

To me, Gears is a cool style. Slow moving and bulky. But you really dont have to move that fast because you can hide. Which is fine by me (squatter). And buff! Blood and cutting in half. ..come to think of it, why are you called a newb if you chainsaw someone? Maybe im in the wrong crowd, but isnt harder to get close to someone than to shotty?

Resistance 1 was a great game.... online was fun too.... Surely Geow1 was a solid overall game, but imo it had lots to address too...

Both sequels are shaping up nicely and are equally hyped... the lucky ones are those who'll get to enjoy both :)

The term "dont fix what aint broke" comes to mind here. Theyre both gonna be pretty good games. I prefer gears because of the slower, more tactical play.

Seriously though ive some bad complaints from people about gears 2, the worst being "And theyre even keeping the same control sceme..." /facepalm :P

for one 8.5 to 9 on the web does not equal medio. it was there first fps sso i think they did a good job.GARRYTH

yep and Disruptor was a good game back then :)

Resistance was an excellent PS3 launch game and Resistance 2 is making a huge progress.

The 2 campain's (one SP, one 8-player Co-op)
60 player online.
New Weapons.
300 ft. boss battle (seriously when the say large scale - they means large scale)


The only complaint i have about the game is that the Chimera fleet is bit too much like Halo's Convent fleet....
choasgod

the covenant fleet?? how do you reckon??

Definately gonna get it on the first day its released... watching the latest gameplay vids and info, got more hyped about the game... 8 player co-op, massive online modes.... visually it looks beautiful and knowing Insomniac gameplay wise the game wont disappoint, cause the couple of minor flaws R1 had should be addressed...

Nonononononono.

A newb is someone who uses a strategy you don't like and can't adapt to because you got very used to trying your way. A Newb grapples instead of doing Hadokens up the ***. A Newb uses the rocket launcher. Or the shotgun. Or the machinegun. Or the sniper rifle.

That he absolutely obliterated you is irrelevant. He's a newb because he doesn't know how to play the game it's supposed to be played, which is of course the way you do.

R1 was far from mediocre.
