Like, seriously. I love my PS3 to death, more so than my Xbox 360 and Wii. I own Resistance: Fall of Man, and it's still a part of my gaming collection, but seriously, it's the worst looking game for the PS3. The effects are subtle. The environments are bland. All in all, I think that Half Life 2 has better graphics than Resistance. But this IS my OPINION. Though I want to know what all of you think.

Sigh... Let the flaming begin.

For a launch title I thought the graphics were quite good, but I enjoyed the game for reasons other than the graphics.

it had good graphics for a launch title, had an OKish campaign and had a solid online multiplay.

It definitly looks dated compared to other games. But for a launch title it looked really good, especially at the time.

It came out a year after the 360 and it looked behind most 360 launch games (Kameo, PDZ).

The same way people think Gears of War graphics look good. I dont but lots of people swear by them. Its all a matter of taste I guess..

It is a launch title. I didn't have a problem with graphics, I just thought the game overall was boring.

But lets not forget the amount of enimies and Allies it had on screen at anyone time,with almost no slowdown.PDZ and GeoW may have looked alot sharper but Resistance had them beat on that count.That was fairly impressive for a luanch title imo.

I agree Resistance is not that good looking of a game. It was when I first got it in November of 06.

Post atleast 3 quotes of people calling Resistance' graphics fantastic.

I've never seen any PS3 owner gloat about Resistance' graphics, they only talk about them if they're being compared to something a lot worse (The Conduit in that Resistance vs Conduit thread).

Well( I don't have a PS3) does it have a lot more effects going on than a game like Gears at any one time? A lot more AI going on, explosions, physics, etc?

If you look at 360 launch titles like cod2, Kameo, pgr3 and pdz then Reistance looks horribly lame

i really hated the demo .. didn't even finish it

doesn't give me faith in the developer, so i'm not sure what to think of Resistance 2 .. a lot of hype and a big budget don't guarantee a quality game

fairest thing to do is to forget about the first game and just judge this when it comes out .. give the devs are a fresh plate

again textures don't make up graphics alone.

resistance had more explosions, paticle affects, more things happening on the screen at once, weapons were technical ect than pdz.

Insomniacs other games are great, like Rachet and the first three Spyros on the PS1. Resistance was a rare blunder for them, IMO.

ristance had alot of things going on around you. kamoe was just a bright colorful game like rachet and clank.

pdz was nothing but good textures nothing made that game technical at all.

Yeah, the physics were pretty crappy in Resistance. I saw Sony PS3 advertisements in magazines praising them and I couldn't help but giggle. Resistance is one of my favorite shooters this gen, but visually, it's underwhelming.

it's the worst looking game for the PS3.

MGSFan92

Really? The absolute worst? Have you not even seen half the games that have been released on the PS3. There are games with worst graphics than Resistance.

It had one of the best graphics for a launch title.

KZ2 is the one hyped because of its graphics.

R2 is hyped because of its gameplay.

Insomiac can make some great graphics though, R&C is easily the best looking platformer out and will be for a while, LBP will hopefully beat it.

EDIT: I know LBP is technically not a platformer but it shares the kind of graphics found in games like VP,R&C,SMG,BK, etc.

it looks good not mgs4 good or uncharted good but good. Besides it was not really praised for the graphics but gameplay. Besides it is a launch title that came out in 2006.

I thought some parts were quite beautiful looking. Like that part where you have to climp up and up and up those giant tube things (actually standing on the tubes, not in them,) and there are those tube things everywhere.)

And that part where you first find those chimera that are hooked up to those crazy machines.

To each his own I guess.

Same here. There's nothing like spectating a 40 player one-hit melee match on USS Lexington.

Because they liked the first one a lot? Isn't that enough? I wouldn't say that if you didn't like the first you'd like this, but it looks good.

I'm not saying it'll be awesome or even touch something on the level of Halo, but it should be good.
