impressed by the demo video although it looked like a really early build. one with JUST enough bells and whistles to use for a demo but still nowhere near beta quality.
i don't know why we need to poke the screen for alt fire, but i LOVE how you can take cover and then click-n-drag where you want a grenade. i hate wasting grenades on trial and error trying to throw right where i want. and firefights in games like uncharted can sometimes get to frantic to use the arc system. (which i find to be slow)

The touch-screen and motion based gimmicks in this game remind me of the grenade throwing mechanic from the first Uncharted. There's a reason why that particular feature didn't make it to Uncharted 2.

Iron sights? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I guess we will truly never have another Rfom type game.
I'll pass.

Which is why I'm so interested in seeing how they can back up their statement, I like to give people a chance =P . When Insomniac were rated the 16th best small company to work for in America last year and have an average Metacritic rating of 86 for their games.

yeah srsly, what is it with almost all of the Vita videos being recordings of someone holding it? i understand that they need to demo how you control them, but some of these games don't even use much of that but they still record it that way. there aren't many direct-feed videos other than in those demo reels with quick 2 second snippets of each game. "sizzle reels" or whatever.
I NEED ONE OF THESE IN MY HANDS NAOOO

I am not a big fan of the alt fire method. The weapon wheel is poorly placed in the center of the screen if you have to touch the weapon you want. It ought to be on the side of the screen.
Oh and this game doesnt look good at all but we will have to wait to see how it is coming together.

They dont want to show a PSVita with HDMI out of people will go on a riot demanding that one for $250 or no buy...you know how it is.chubigans said:
Also Im not a big fan of Resistance due to janky gameplay. This new game is the same, sadly. Hope its due to being alpha or something or else fans may be disappointed. Meh game for me.

I agree, but it was a little cheesy grabbing the firefighter helmet. What no Dalmatian? Enemies looked liked they were in a shooting gallery, they just sat there.

640MB of RAM should do a lot better than that! I think this is an extremely early build though.

needs 2 extra inches
When I saw the animations, the geometry, textures, etc. I just couldn't shake the feeling that this started as a PSP project, and didn't go through a major conversion, just a face lift.
I thought how the Chimera's looked when they exploded into chunks of meat was pretty jarring.

it will look better i think, but remember that it will look better allready on the screen because it's smaller than these pics.TheExecutive said:

textures look early, but those effects looks quite good. im actually kind of impressed.
i don't know if i trust the dev though. i've been burned before by big name companies handing their babies to unknowns.

It was clearly a demo area they focused on. Screens look good. Animations need a bit of work as well as the frame-rate. Should be solid.

The problem is that to view these shots properly you need to downsize them quite heavily - to the point where low texture resolution won't matter anymore.TheExecutive said:
I think they're pretty good for a handheld. And considering that that's a launch title I think that they're great.

Screw the resistance haters.
1 was great, 2 was a disspointment, but Retribution was great too.
If Capcom gave up on DMC after DMC2, then we wouldn't have gotten the amazingness that was DMC3, and 4 which was better than dmc1 imo, and we probably wouldn't even have bayonetta.
luckly sony still sees value in the franchise. (and hopefully it pays off for them)

fire axe: YES!

Resistance: Burning Skies Hands-On Preview
http://gamescom.gamespot.com/story/...ds-on-preview/?tag=updates;editor;all;title;3
The story/premise has me intrigued, and some of the touch screen features even won me over.
But I have no confidence in this team, and the demo was really bland overall. Unexciting level design, new weapons looked uninspired, all weapons lacked weight. Enemy death animations were pathetic.
I could live with those graphics if they got the fundamentals right.
It's a real shame because this franchise might need a new team if Insomniac is moving on. Nihilistic doesn't appear to be up to it.

Dammit. Are we really going to have to go through the "Every game takes advantage of touch (and now back pad and gyro) no matter how contrived it is!" bullshit from the DS's first wave of titles? I really hope they take it easy emulating iOS games, they need differentiate themselves. Tapping enemies to shoot them or lob grenades is fine on my phone, but if I have dual analogs available I'd really rather just aim.
I'm not sure how I feel about the always-present axe button. It's an interesting idea, and I really like having the ocarina and another item always easily available via the bottom corner touch spots in OoT 3D, but I also like my games as HUD-less as possible and the button is pretty glaring. Hopefully there's an option to just turn off the icon as that would give you the best of both world, and "Tap this corner to melee" isn't exactly a hard thing to memorize. No need for the icon there to constantly remind you.

Sony has stood behind franchises that do a lot less. And Resistance is pretty flexible in that the "franchise" is essentially the timeline and the Chimera. Each game can be very different from the last.
A lot of publishers would be happy to have a franchise that's guaranteed to do Resistance numbers.
Sure, but ideally Sony should be creating franchises that sell the console to uninterested parties.theBishop said:
This might sound crazy, but a lot of their lesser investments like Journey and Twisted Metal might be doing more to sell the machine to those who don't have it than Resistance, because they're so unusual. Killzone steals all the attention and is the franchise that sells PS3 as an FPS machine.
Krev said:
Resistance has a built-in fanbase from being a PS3 launch title. It occupies a good place in the Playstation portfolio as a sci-fi shooter that's well-differentiated from Halo on Xbox. Yes, Killzone is technically a sci-fi shooter, but it's very grounded in realistic guns and human(ish) enemies.
I was disappointed in R2 like most people, but I think you underestimate the value and potential of the series. If R3 bombs, we can revisit this.

Yeah, but the trouble is, if you don't own a PS3 (or really even a PS3 at launch) then Resistance is pretty much valueless.
I think that's one big mistake that Sony is making with the Vita, acting like it's an accessory for PS3 owners, rather than making AAA Vita only games (yes, I know they have artsy indy stuff like Gravity Daze and Little Deviants, but Loco Roco/Patapon wasn't enough for the PSP).

Resistance has always been awful and this is unsurprisingly no exception.
Yes, this is what I was trying to get at.DiscoJer said:
Absolutely agreed. It seems like only Japan is coming out with big Vita games that aren't spin-offs (like Gravity Daze, which actually looks like a large scale, decently budgeted adventure game).
Sony shouldn't make the mistake of thinking they're Nintendo. Their franchises aren't worth that much. Casual gamers aren't the only people who'd be more interested with something new.
Shinobido doesn't bother me. As you say, it's low budget, and I don't think it's a problem if a lot of Vita games end up looking PS2ish. Not every studio has a lot of money to throw around on handheld games. Plus, going by the past Shinobido games, it might at least actually be good.Takao said:

I'll be honest, after reading some of the comments here I was expecting an outright piece of junk, especially considering Nihilistic doesn't have the greatest track record. The video, though, doesn't look bad at all.
If I have to complain about anything, I'll say that the Chimera death animations are terrible, and I didn't really any indication of the cool and innovative weaponry that we're accustomed to getting from Resistance games. I'm also not a fan of doing so many things on the touch screen--I hope that they follow in the footsteps of Uncharted: Golden Abyss, and include traditional controls in addition to touch screen controls. Let the individual gamer decide which method works best for him.
I admit that I'm still concerned about having Nihilistic assigned to this project, but if Insomniac can still maintain a level of involvement with the production, then there's still hope that it can be worthwhile in the end. As others have already mentioned, Resistance: Retribution on PSP didn't have Insomniac directly at the helm, yet it turned out to be an excellent game.

Oh, OK, I missed the part where they explained that you can use the secondary fires without having to touch the screen. If you can, that's fine, but they way it was explained in the video made it sound like you had to use the touchscreen to paint targets with the one gun and lob grenades with the carbean.Loudninja said:

Shinobido 2 looks alright though, I'll probably pick that up. Been craving a Tenchu game but that most likely won't happen
.But yeah Shinobido looks 100 times better than this Resistance game. What the hell happened to the guys hands? Is he a burns victim
He is a fire fighter so it may be possible
