Check out how it went from start to finish here: The Road to Adequacy thread by BobTheFork. • Right Click and Save - Insomniac Games Fullmoon podcast #12 - BobTheFork is guest, tons of NeoGAF shoutouts!  Thanks to BuddyC for sharing this gift from Insomniac. ____________________________________________________________________ GENERAL INFO ____________________________________________________________________ October 26th 2006: I felt it was time to bring up the official thread for what’s possibly Sony’s biggest title of the year and what’s a huge testament to Insomniac’s talent as a standalone developer. Not only are they going to ship a game that will become a strong contender for the game of 2006, they are shipping what is quite possibly the most important title for the PS3’s infant year, promoting both the system as well as Sony’s new PlayStation network online service. And they are shipping it on day one. Here are the basic facts from Insomniacs own page: In Resistance: Fall of Man, US and British forces band together in a last-ditch effort to save England from a horrific scourge -- the Chimera. This parasitic species infects other life forms with a virus that rapidly mutates victims into new Chimera. In mere decades this race has ripped apart populations across Asia and Europe and by 1951 has landed on the shores of England. You play the part of US Army Ranger Nathan Hale fighting alongside a group of British resistance soldiers to free the country from the Chimera and to halt their spread across the globe. • Insomniac Games has combined its passion for creating exotic weapons and vehicles with its proprietary physics system to create a unique human and Chimeran arsenal. • Encounter a wide variety of fluidly moving characters and creatures that exhibit sophisticated behaviors and interact believably with each other and with intricate environments. • A powerful proprietary rendering engine allows a greater variety of highly detailed and interactive environments resulting in an immersive console FPS experience. Experience the chaos of large, crowded battlefields and tense close combat within infested military command centers and decimated urban landscapes based on real locations in Great Britain. • Features a story-driven single player campaign with multiple difficulty levels, co-op play through the single player campaign, offline multiplayer and one of the most complete online multiplayer offerings on a console. • Greater processing power with PlayStation 3, higher storage capacity with BluRay and Dolby 7.1 surround sound output provide a truly immersive experience with next gen sights and sounds. The game has now officially been released worldwide and has the honor of being the first million+ selling title on the system. It's also Insomniacs fastest selling title ever. Grats!     To learn more about the back story then visit this excellent and well presented site: *Updated as of 11/17* (Now frozen with ice) Now covers years from 1898 to July 1951. The website is complete though the absolute complete time line can be found in the official strategy guide. http://www.us.playstation.com/Conten...e/default.html Here is the latest trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJ_Ux9_ErJk Russian themed trailer: http://www.youtube.com/v/KQWbqtL7FOs ____________________________________________________________________ MULTIPLAYER ____________________________________________________________________ • The Official Resistance MP thread @ NeoGAF Online / Matchup Forum To learn pretty much everything about the multiplayer, take a look at these informative videos hosted by Mr. Ted Price himself: VID 1 (menu 1) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xKWvK0v3J0 VID 2 (menu 2) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHOkyzElbVw VID 3 (stat tracking) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2GVuQYXoxs VID4 (Breach gametype mode) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1O4uZvBmW0 VID5 (Breach continued) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MAE1vgGP3Y VID6 (Playing as Chimera in Meltdown mode) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkjJpq2dcpw ******************************** 1st Multiplayer Map Pack has now been released!

I was thrilled playing it... I'm looking forward to seeing what's under the rest of Resistance's hood.” Sterling McGarvey (Gamespy): “Looks, handles, and feels like one of the best console FPS titles we've played since fighting Covenant and Flood.” Cliffy B (Epic): “It looks... solid.” Chris Roper (IGN): “The first-person shooter looks to be everything that a killer launch app should be -- it's original, looks fantastic and makes true use of Sony's next-generation console.” Ted Price: “I dig it.” OPM had the world exclusive review (which was printed in their December 06 issue) and according to Joe Rybicki, the reviewer: “it is a really really good game........it is a really really good game...........it is a really really good game.........between single player and online, it is very very entertaining.” • One of the best interviews of 2006 and it's all about Resistance and Insomniac. Highly recommended: Interview with Insomniacs Market & Communication executive and Lead Multiplayer designer. The interview starts 26mins into this. A lot of great humor and insight. • December 5th 2006, UFO crashes in Siberia (real story): http://www.mosnews.com/news/2006/12/01/ufocrash.shtml • Patches: December 21st: The first patch is now available with a serious amount of tuning and changes applied. Read the details in post 1970 in this very thread. March 21st: Exactly three months after the first patch the second one releases. Again Insomniac delivers a expansive patch with a lot of tweaks and some additions. The details can be found in post 5511. June 29th: The third patch is now available and it's really really significant. It enables worldwide play, adds in game XMB friendlist access, lip syncing for voice chat, facial animations, disconnection cooldown and much much more. To coincide with this patch the first purchasable Map Pack has released as well (see above). For more details about the patch read this thread. October 31st: The fourth significant patch has now been released on halloween. Photomode, DualShock3 rumble and skeletons! Details here!

Derailing the topic somewhat, but how does this launch-title compare to the 360's PD0 (also a FPS launch-title)? I never played PD0 because it did not have much appeal from what I saw but this seems more interesting when compared to the all the previews, videos & brief tech demos.

The multiplayer was incredible at times--you had a tremendous amount of freedom to 'make your own fun,' basically, in addition to the standard modes the game offered (which were excellent). We STILL recount some of the times we had (and occasionally still have) with it (example. Take one team of 8 and give them one exosuit, complete with jumpjets. put suicidal teammember in exosuit. COVER exosuit with remote detonated mines. fly exosuit into enemy base. wait for word from exosuit pilot that he is in the target. remaining 7 members detonate their proximity mines. watch as the enemies numbers fall from 8 to 2. Laugh heartily) Visually it was a bit of a mixed bag, but again, there were moments of graphical excellence (the jungle levels especially) that to this day have yet to be "topped" by anything (much like kameo) that having been said, Resistance seems to be a more polished product, worthy of every ounce of praise it has (and shall) recieve from those that play/played it, that will no doubt sell in spades.

I'll be on Nov 17th... First on the one list... Resistance paid in full... I'll be bouncing back and forth between this and COD3... and maybe a lil RR7... Oblivion will stay in it's wrapper since I already just about beat that, but I may throw it in to see if there are any differences...
I forsee most likely though Resistance eating up my time the most :) |

You want to see a really cool effect in Resistance?
Take a look at the video on this page. The language is Norwegian, sorry about that, but they are basically trying the PS3 for the first time in private and got 2 hours to spend with it. They are very impressed by the elegance of the system (the quietness, the quick boot up..etc) and the game they praised the most was Resistance. In the last quarter of the movie they test the glass physics and it's really nice. Take a look: http://www.dagbladet.no/kultur/2006/10/27/481078.html |

It's no secret. I'm not a big "Sony" fan. Never owned any itteration of a Sony console. However, this game has been very high on my radar. The demonstration by Ted Price blew me away. These are the kind of games I love playing and so far Resistance looks like it will be one of the top FPS's for quite a while.

this game will definitely be my first PS3 title at launch in march... my only concern are the weapons, they all seems to sound in the same way and generally the sound effects seems really weak
at least judging by the videos :) |

"It's amazing to think that this is a day-one game. It's already beyond - both technology and gameplay-wise anything on [its competitor] ... a year after it's launch. "
Randy Nelson - on the latest PSM Mag Will this be the offical GAF Clan thread as well? or are we making a new one for that one. he said Xbox 360 butI don't want to derail this thread. |

I won't moderate/lead or control the clan (a responsible volunteer here?) but I can start adding a list to the top here for people who want to join. Say so if you want to be a part of a NeoGAF Resistance clan.
