RESISTANCE 2 REVEALED! 60man MP, 8p Co-op..etc

[QUOTE="Fignewton50"]Crazy, 60 player battles? How laggy will that be, even with dedicated servers? That's going to be mass chaos. 0rin

Am I the only person who doesnt like multiplayer when numbers get that large?

I stop being able to keep track of everybody and end up just dieing a lot. Less battling and more just being in the right place at the right time.

Not in this game!

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.

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.

Cows don't even have any non-shooter AA's, except NG:S.

BS3 = the official shooter system...even though it's shooters suck. rofl.

RAM has nothing to do with it... and what do you know about stream loading??? It's a new technique... exactly how do you know its limitations? Let's leave the technical stuff to the devs and quit pretending we know more about their game than they do shall we.

You average PS3 owner is too idiotic to coordinate squad movements - muchless comply with them.

This online will flop.

usmcjdk6

I can take those "average" ps3 owners as you call them in UT3 and turn them into effective squads in warfare and ctf modes to win everytime. The fact you believe that the ps3 online community is the same as the x360 community in terms of online is pretty funny cause over 80% of the people I meet online are adults not little trash talkers like ravage live.

Also the online for the first resistance is always active with people so I doubt the online will flop.

Then you should read the entire post... this is 60 person squad based online, w/ squads of 4-8 players... squads have different objectives to contribute to the overall battle being waged. NO game is currently doing anything like that. It's awesome... it'sthe closest thing toREAL warefare that any game has ever brought us.

AMAZING!! My hype for resistance 2 just sky rocketed Dream-Bringer

yea, if they can pull this off it'd be a problem for 360 owners if the 360 can't match it.

ParadiddleFill

no i agree once there are too many people playing the game becomes to chaotic, you lose all sense of teamwork and strategy. I think people need to stop hyping games just because they have a large number of players

Battlefields beg to differ :S

What you want shooters to remain 18 players for ever? how lame is that ... its not even a war.

yeah and battlefeild was very war like right? 18 players is perfect you have more focus on teamwork and small specialized units working with each other also an easier time to communicate with each other. WIth 60 players imagine allthose people shouting a million things at once.

its not like that.. in the first resistance when you go into a squad , those are the only people you can hear.. so say if there are 5 squads you will only hear 5 people in one squad when your in it. makes me hope the maps are MASSIVE with vehicles.. that way squads can split up and capture different objectives. I also hope they have one map that is small so it can be totally EPIC with 60 players in it.. haha

You will get use to it. You just got to adjust and adapt. That is how online gaming is like. Everyone is different and people think differently.

I recall playing Planetside on PC. I jumped in.. and there was an ongoing battle for a bridge. There were other bridges around. But this one bridge was a strategic location. We were at the frontlines to the enemy main bases. We want to drive out battalion of tanks and jeep up to their bases over this bridge. We fought back and forth for more than an hour. With infantry, artillery, aerial, and even amphibious assault. We fought to a stalmate but that battle was truely epic.

I knew it, I've been thinking it and saying it for months. Resistance 2 will be ****ing amazing... munu9

Insomniac, I love you.

:shock::shock::shock::shock: These pics are amazing but I think they only tell haf the story. I bet the animations for the charaters will be near uncharted quality...

[QUOTE="Khoaki"]

Just to clarify on a few things, where it says eight-player co-op, it means through online and not local. Local is going to be 2 players splitscreen like the first one (except it will be a totally different campaign)

The thought of online co-op just makes me more excited, imagine teaming up with 7 unknown players through online, just shooting every mutant you see.

What makes me even more excited is that the online co-op will clearly have the classes available. Any ideas on how that would work out?

shoeman12

is the local 2 players just for co-op or for vs too?

quick question

will the rumble enabled sixaxis be out by fall 08?

im rather starting to miss it, so i hope its out by the time resistance 2 rolls around

oh crap, sorry, I deleted them. Hope nobody reported me yet :( I honestly didn't realize they were scans. They were posted plainly on the official playstation forums. (playstation.com)

REforever101

It's supposed to be out this Spring, so I imagine a couple months maybe.

If the MPmaps are set up well...it would be crazy fun...large enough and random spawn points to helpkeep the spawn campers at bay..but a few choke points to keep the heat up.. then a few ways to get around the choke points...

Maybe a mode/gameplay type that if you stay in one spot for more than 10/15 seconds you die....

that would be really fun...

In this state yes (visually), but we haven't seen the latest build of Killzone 2 yet.

Just from the screens, it looks like they've really optimized the engine to almost near full potential, I'm wondering how it'll hold up when you have a full 60 player match going though.lantus

It'll hold up just fine. Look at Resistance 1 - same graphics online as the campaign and the framerate never dropped, even with 40 people online. Resistance 2 will be beautiful.

Everybody is tasked objectives in the main lobby, which keeps the game from dissolving into chaos.

That sounds pretty good on paper..but in the game i think it might be asking to much..i mean hell..in COD 4 it is a task just for people to play domination right..

Don't get me wrong i am all for the idea...but i think it would be really frustrating if you do your part and the "other" guys are falling short

I didn't say PS3's full potential, I said their engines full potential. Only an idiot would sayPS3 isalmost completely maxed. And I'm not worried about performance for online game, just whethervisuals will be up to the same quality as the single player.

I read the news and I was like.. "Woah"

I saw the pictures and I looked at COD4 and I ":lol:'d". In-somniac we trust. God I can't wait for this, the pictures were mindblowing. This info is even better, ****ing 8 player co-op. Gawd.
