It dont matter what we think.. R2 will be AAA on GS. Keep in mind kids the Cows do actually have many games they are playing right now Socom beta, LBP beta, KZ2 beta, R2 beta.. Socom, Motorstorm and LBP release over lesss than three weeks. R2 will be out in less than a month as well kids... many games for the Cows now including multiplats like Far Cry 2 (i payed for) and Fall out 3 etc...

Mark it, R2 will be AAA on GS. Im more confident in R2 getting a 9 than GEARS2 honestly.

Home Beta is being played as well :)

Nothing more needs to be said. We have chainsaw shooting guns, Camoflauged enemies, an online stat evolution system, and a gripping story. Gears 2 has none of these things.

Resistance is a generic FPS set in a whacked out alternate future

Self PWNED

LOL Fail.

lol That is pure awesome.

Perhaps that's why he thought it was a mediocre shooter. I know I'd think the developers were rather stupid for setting a futuristic shooter in the mid-1950's. What kind of idiot developer sets a futuristic game in 1950?!

Or he could just be a huge 360 fanboy thinking that Microsoft is an infallible entity after looking at his post history....Yeah I'm gonna go with that.

Or its because the weapons used in the game to make it look futuristic? If I already didnt know about R1 i'd think this one was set in the future too.

Dude... Gears is a 6-8 hour SP/Co-op campaign.. with 5vs5 online:|

Resistance 2 is a 15-20 hour SP campaign, with a multi-tier Co-op campaign, with a Gross amount of online uptions ranging from 6vs6 to 60 players online.

I think there is just too much stuff to hype, i'm sorry man. Gears 2 really doesn't match up well to Resistance, the quality just isn't the same. Resistance 2 offers more than a 30 second joy ride, and stagnant gameplay mechanics.

Plus PS3 gamers have too much to look forward to just hype one game

Little Big Planet
Socom
White Knight Story
Motorstorm 2
Naruto
..etc

Adrian_Cloud

If any game is stagnant its resistance 2. It basically rely on cool weapons and graphical effects to make up for its mediocre gameplay. Gears 2 has the best gameplay mechanics of any shooter to date. If you list everything that Marcus Phenix can do, it'll be 2x longer than the resistance 2 main character.

Comeon dude, this is all you do in resistance --> walk, shoot, walk shoot, walk, shoot. Anything else on that list?

Gears 2:walk, cover, roll, shoot, pick up dead enemy use as shield, flip over table use as cover, shoot more, chainsaw battle, etc.

Im not saying that Resistance 2 wont have a good story, but when you compare gears 2 gameplay to the obviously more mediocre resistance 2 gameplay mechanics, and call gears 2 stagnant, I think you need to wake up and smell the air.

Yeah, I've seen his posts praising the all-mighty Microsoft as they attempt to conquer the villains of gaming, Lords Sony and Nintendo. I do find his threads pretty funny though.

Nothing happened. But with the LBP beta underway right now and it being only a couple weeks away, thats garnering more attention right now.

But when the Resistance 2 beta starts this weekend, expect a boat lad of hype threads.

Couth_

How do you know it starts this weekend? When are they sending the codes?

Cows called it teh Haloz killer. They called it graphics king. They called it FPS of the year.

Then after the latest Bonus Round on GTTV, all the industry experts basically shrugged it off as a non-event. To add insult to injury, they called Gears 2 this year's blockbuster.

Cows just can't catch a break these days. Hey, at least you have LBP. Everyone needs a DIY 3D side-scroller now and again. LOL.

WillieBeamish

You try too hard, seriesly.

Anyway I'm looking forward to Killzone2 more than R2 because it's similar to COD4 which I have no problem with. (cloaking sniper ftw) I'm still going to get R2 tho.

If you are smart and think about it people would actually get bored hyping a game for the rest of the year until its release date...the hype is still there and the only thing people said is FPS of the year and potentially GOTY, not halo killer or graphics king although people do praise the upgraded graphics, everyone is just hanging on with the hype until its released now...or maybe until they get into the public beta which is sometime soon this month.

Ok, back up a second here. Why would any of that stuff be preferable to using a weapon for it? The guns themselves make the shields, set the traps, and basically unleash hell, and do it far better than Fenix does.

And no. Just no. Chainsaw battling is as impressive as taunt killing in TF2.

reply to thewbecca, R2 has lot of gameplay mechanics now... u can use the bubble shield (i know its nothing new), use berserks such as go invis, double dmg but takes double damage also, and more that aren't revealed to us yet and the 8p co op is ALOT more than shoot, run, walk, shoot, u have to do alot of team work such as healing dropping ammos for teammates and tanking all the damage for the group, plus the R2 weapons add alot to the gameplay its not just the same trust me, "points toward the Auger and Bulleye"

I know - thats what I was saying. The weapons in Resistanceactively add to the gameplay (When choosing the Magnums targets, you need to actively make sure you don't kill, so that you can take out a number at once with the explosion, rather than killing one and blowing it up without any advantage). That said, I couldn't tell what the guy was using as the descriptor for the term "gameplay" - I thought he meant the characters secondary abilities oustide of hefting a gun and using it to slaughter everything in sight in a spectacular and deeply satisfying way. In that sense, yes, Gears 2 has a slight advantage over Resistance 2. But Resistance is made by Insomniac, who stress damn cool weapons.

It is still hyped.

Gears of war 2 will sell more. But Resistance 2 will be the better game, there is no doubt about that!

Gears of war 2 is Gears 1.5, 10 player online, up from 8 players! Oh wow! What a difference! Gears 2 is a joke. Even the graphics arent all that impressive.

MickeyTheNinja

I guess you have never played Gears of War in your life. It doesnt take 2-5 shots to kill someone in the game, so If the game was like 12 vs 12 or whatever, the tatics of the game wouldnt work. It's a tatic based game so 5 vs 5 is perfect for the gameplay. Stop being a fanboy.

Dude just let them have it that's all they got 60 is better than 10, just as 9.6> 8.6 or whatever that flop got :lol:

[QUOTE="SonyMarksman70"]If you ask me Resistance 2 is far better than Killzone 2. Just idiots hype Killzone 2 all the time. Resistance 2 might be my friggen GOTY on PS3. But I personally this the Resistance franchise has been more epic than Halos'. If you've played RFOM you'd know it's right up there as one of the greates FPS's ever made. Resistance is the Halo killer. I don't give $50 douches about Killzone 2 when Resistance 2 is a real gamers's game. I just can't believe I missed it at launch :PWillieBeamish

I stand corrected I guess there is one guy :P

Yup don't get me wrong i've played Halo 1 & 3, and those are games for gamers's but as it stands Resistance 2 is set to let the competition deploy. The fact is Resistance, Halo & Gears' franchises are very similar in proportion. To be even more specific these are UC & Doom @ their finest.

Resistance is a generic FPS set in a whacked out alternate future. Halo is an epic space adventure. The only thing that could be considered epic with regard to resistance are the large 'boss' battles which are ultimately uninspired. Nothing about Resistance feels inspired. There isn't anything TERRIBLE about Resistance, but nothing stands out, and at best, a couple moments reach the polish and immersion of the Halo series. You can disagree all you want, but it is reflected in the difference in reviews and overall popularity of these two games.

so the 60 player online multiplayer with a 8 player co-op campaign doesn't stand out from regular FPS???!?!?!! What FPS did these things on consoles? That game must've slipped past me

the only advantage i see is graphics. Gameplay department, R2 takes the cake, especially in the online multiplayer
