Day one for me but also a little worried about the late embargo but I suppose I can understand Insomniac wanting the journo's to soak in the game after the patch before they put pen to paper.

Trying to keep my expectations in check though, was hoping for environments based on Chimeran architecture but that looks doubtful tbh, but still, cool weapons and a weapon wheel to juggle them in perks me up some.

pickle · (08-31-2011, 01:51 AM)

pre-ordered and pre-paid. on the strength of the previous two games ( i actually didn't think r2 sucked ), i'm looking forward to some singleplayer goodness. the return of the weapon wheel and health pickups is the right call. getting a wonderful half life/halo vibe from the vids.

MuseManMike · (08-31-2011, 01:52 AM)

but duh gaem haz sub ayche dee grafix

Cudder · (08-31-2011, 02:05 AM)

I'm having a blast, and I have played this game so many times. Makes me very hopeful that ya'll will like it a lot :-)

the reason i buy insomniac games day 1 is because of the way the company represents itself, and they make great games. i admire your willingness to stand behind your game and face the music on what can be a tough audience.

Satchel · (08-31-2011, 02:06 AM)

Looking forward to this.

MASSIVE fan of the first game, and while the second wasn't quite as good, I still liked it a lot.

Need to go back to the second actually to claim more trophies.

jstevenson · (08-31-2011, 02:21 AM)

yup, all the servers are getting rebooted to force everyone to get the patch, so hang tight

He's been on some. He, like me, has a job now so he's been busy. However, I don't want to talk for him but I don't think he'll be getting the game. He, M3, and kittonwy basically swore off the game after R2. They haven't played it but they don't seem to want to, so I don't know who I'll be playing with :p

patsu · 03:31 AM

Ah, I remember I owe him a Logitech keyboard for PS3. ^_^

My buddy works there and gives freebies to me. But I haven't visited him since we last met.

Edit: I'll send you the Gaf chatroom link.

Cudder · (08-31-2011, 02:50 AM)

Wow first time I actually find a game and it freezes on the loading screen.

Agent X · (08-31-2011, 03:28 AM)

I'm going to be on board for this ride! Looking forward to the game hitting the streets next week.

jackdoe · (08-31-2011, 04:18 AM)

Just had a chance to try the beta. Was not impressed, but I never bought the Resistance games for their MP anyway. Hopefully, the SP isn't as blurry as the MP beta though, because the sub 720p definitely shows.

CartridgeBlower · (08-31-2011, 04:24 AM)

How do you combat players with shields at low levels? Just started btw...

And while I was originally digging the fact that it was smaller maps and 8v8, now I'm not so sure. The snipers are out in full force, throwing up shields and just shooting down at the chokehold areas in the map. Sniping seems even worse because the maps are so small.

Well don't fight a shield guy, just run away and flank him.

What shield are you talkign about?In the final game the emp grenade disables the shields among other things.Its really easy to get to the snipers the way the map is design.If you dont like any of that stuff you can always go for the Classic mode :)

patsu · 04:48 AM

Heh heh, was frustrated before too. In the final game, there is EMP grenade for disabling shields and other abilities. Other high level abilities like turret would help too.

At low level, I used to avoid shields and go hunt somewhere else.

If you want to stay and fight...
The shield takes damage, regular shooting would work but it can survive 1-2 grenade throw. So gang up and fight. Don't go solo.

I also use Leaper Corpse to counter shields. They are good at breaking shields but the ability is activated only after you die.

Edit: beaten

Or like me, play the no perks mode in the final game !

Tallshortman · (08-31-2011, 04:59 AM)

So 2.05 seemed to fix framerate and lag issues but now, as previously noted, matchmaking isn't working for me. Oh well, good thing this is beta. Hopefully they work all the kinks out by next week.

Loudninja · (08-31-2011, 05:37 AM)

I think the game will has 12 maps.

Quote:

Thanks again for all of your help testing the beta, we hope you enjoy playing the R3 Beta and are looking forward to the full game’s release (along with the 10 additional maps in the retail game) next week.

Cudder · (08-31-2011, 05:43 AM)

Managed to get 1.5 games in the beta, I dug it from what I played, definitely better than the clusterfuck called Resistance 2 online.

still aint better than R1 though

Mush · (08-31-2011, 05:55 AM)

James.

Bus Yard plz.

Kambing · (08-31-2011, 05:56 AM)

Bravo on the OT Loudninja and Pliskin(?).

Had a few games with pwon and was kicking ass, doing GAF proud LOL. I think this game will kick ass man.

patsu · (08-31-2011, 06:47 AM)

Just to be sure, Kambing, you are Kesucian right ?

I saw BobTheFork today. Was on his team. His game was tough ! Some of the enemies are very good. And one or two had the Atomizer. I still love my Bullseye. 8^(

AgentOtaku · (08-31-2011, 06:56 AM)

Oi!

Is the sound mix for this in the final as low as it is in the Beta?
It's like REALLY low!
Have to turn my receiver way up. Thankfully, the sound design is good when the volume is up anyway...

betty swollocks · (08-31-2011, 07:34 AM)

Done! (Last night)

Not tried the multiplayer but SP alone I'd give a personal score of 10.

Hope it at least gets 9's.

Huge step up from previous 2, well done! :)

I agree 100%.

Meisadragon · (08-31-2011, 07:41 AM)

Just had a good MP session. Topped every match with a killer k/d. Damn the Marksman is so so good, especially with all the upgrades.

The word over on boards.ie is that Gamestop have the Survivor Edition. HMV might have something.

AgentWhiskers · (08-31-2011, 07:43 AM)

Do we know yet how the game runs in 3D? Hope it's not as dreadful as it is on Killzone 3.

How long it took ya?

betty swollocks · (08-31-2011, 07:50 AM)

Can't remember exactly sorry; was switching between this and Deusex.

I def. didn't feel short changed. It was long enough without feeling too long /short and more than good enough to want to try it again in the future on harder settings (played on normal).

Nice thats the way it should be.

pharmboy044 · (08-31-2011, 08:19 AM)

Liked all the previews I've read so far.

I really hope Insomniac gets the respect that they deserve.

Loudninja · (08-31-2011, 08:22 AM)

I added all weapons to the Op thats the full list, not including the 3 grenade types.

Edit:You beat the game amar?

amar212 · 08:43 AM

Not yet, I play it slowly and with great immersion into atmosphere and locations, exploring everything I can.

Sounds goods. :)

NBtoaster · (08-31-2011, 09:10 AM)

No beta for non-US? :(

I'm curious how the co-op will be handled. Is it just like Resistance 1 when you are joined by someone who for some unexplained reason has all the same abilities as you, and never appears in the cutscenes?

Does Capelli have the same characteristics as Hale in this?

For fellow Finns here, you can get it at that price from http://www.verkkokauppa.com/fi/produ...f/Resistance-3 . Bear in mind, that it's a limited edition.

this is not available in NA?

I dunno. However, my comment was directed to Finns, because that web store doesn't (AFAIK) deliver outside Finland.
