Support NeoGAF

[BobTheFork]

Hit it hard last night, got up to level 10 already. I got my aim back (partly); I just need to change how I play. You can't run and gun like you did in Rfom, unfortunately you need those iron sites. Love it so far. Wanted to ask...is it only team based? Is there a FFA DM in the retail game?

Hmmm I use the iron sights very rarely, the vast majority of my kills is from hip fire. Yes the game has DM.

No Move support = no playing. The graphics look special, great while moving but pretty bad if you take a close look, a lot like Motorstorm. The blur reminds me of Killzone 2, which I know can give me a headache. I also feel the framerate is a little lacking, which will probably be non-existant in SP. Resistance 2 was pretty smooth, and so were rfom. Think I'm gonna buy it at launch, just hope they get the Move part right, like Killzone 3. That game implemented Move in such a great way.

That's weird - we've put out a ton of video captures from the game.

My apologies I had forgotten about the fairly lengthy footage I saw of the SP campaign, it's been awhile and my job drains brain cells daily. Since I do not have the best PC in the world it's hard for me to ever see any of the game play in HD which is the only way I can truly judge. No worries though, the game is bought just based on word of mouth. I am by no means a graphic snob, I just really liked the clean look of the first one and the weather / vehicles.

I'm loving all the talk about how bleak/depressing the game's mood is. That and the overall atmosphere of R2 was my biggest disappointment with that game. Fall of Man had such a grim, gritty, and dark atmosphere that I felt was completely different in R2. Everything I've seen of R3 looks to move things back in the right direction though.

I thought it did have Move support?

Playing the beta righgt now..

Damn, the game feels much much better now than what I played 2 weeks ago.

Can't wait for the whole package!

Great job Insomniac.

 

[Slurmer]

looking forward to this. how did R2 end up selling anyways?

Added a wall paper made by B33 to the op.

The special edition comes with move, of course it supports it.

Heh heh, I played against 3 of you at first because I joined late. Get to see how well I fare going up against Gaffers. ^_^

Also played against Cornbread78. He's in clan 501. Unfortunately wife needed to talk, so our encounter was spotty and short.

Yeah, too bad you guys couldn't stick around and jump onto our team. We was having a ball. I think I was 14-2 when you jumped in, probably my best game of the night, I'm usually a little above even.

Actually, in that room, there were untagged guys in there that used to be in a notorious R1 clan, that was really good, sk8rman, Squall, Kimmono, etc. They pretty much ruled the R1 world before half of them moved over to oNO. I wish I could remember the name of their clan, they were the clan everyone tried out for, lol basically 2.0, 3.0+ k/d to get in, lol.

I was going to jump in with pwn, but it was already 12:30 or so and I had to get up at 5:45, lol. yeah, thanks JStev, you created another game that will take away my sleep time! aarrgghh

 

[Shtof]

Yeah, guys, I was talking about the beta. I know the full version will come with move support.

 

[luxarific]

Ugh, don't buy the prequel novel, whatever you do. Just poorly written all around:

Spoiler

Hale's sister randomly meets up with Capelli, saves him from a Chimera, and then has no real problem with the fact that he shot her brother. Seriously, she pulls a gun on him and then puts it away and they have tea. Not kidding! Just awful writing.

I've gotten used to game novels that don't entirely suck (the Deus Ex, Gears, and Dead Space novels are competently written and don't feel like fanfic), but I don't know why I expected anything better from Dietz. Hopefully he wasn't involved in writing the script for the game.

yeah, we have FFA in the final game

 

[BobTheFork]

That's all I needed to know.

 

[Cornbread78]

Clan support?

 

[Fersis]

If were doing a QnA....

1) How many skins in the final game?
2) Has the jump height been increased?
3) INSOMNIAC WHY U DONT RELEASE IT NAO?!

So hyped for the SP.

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

jstevenson, will there be an SP demo hitting the PSS before the game launches?

 

[Loudninja]

Nope, the demo comes out on launch day.

How many games do I have to play to get that Hale skin?

Added 3 new wallpapers from Skidd on the IG forums.

I swear he hates me, lol. I ask a lot of questions, but he is all full of secrets :.. (

Eleventeen.

The more we play the Beta, the better the fixes will be.

Now I remember why I like resistance so much, MARKSMAN

but the match making system is kinda bad. Especially when it allows you to switch them. Was on a team with 8 players, whereas the other team have 2.

Yes, yes. Some of the nicks raised all kinds of alarm in my mind. ^_^
I was sure I saw them in RFOM before, and they were deadly.

I joined your game but had to go after one round. Your crowd were pretty tough. They are strong and some group together. Had to pull out all the stops to break 1.0 K/D last minute.

That means setting up the turret and healing perk together, and flanking enemies by sprinting one big round until I get behind the whole lot of them. ^_^

yup flanking is deadly in this game

yeah, we have an unforseen side effect with a change to matchmaking plus the influx of players, we're looking to address. know some folks are getting games that don't quite fill up

Yeah I saw you in for a little bit. You did better than I did that game. I was killing it the next game and looked to see if you are still there so I could gloat lol. The best small strategy is to pop an upgraded ammo beacon right in the trafic area so people can just ammo dump. I killed 5 guys last night while in sights just firing accross the firing lane.

edit: I used the marksman for the first time. It felt like cheating lol. I upped the scope and then just nailed people on the covered bridge. That thing is a killbox.

 

[patsu]

Ha ha, when I joined you were at level 5. I don't know how you could survive against those Atomizer wielding level 30 dudes. The weaker ones (still pretty strong) bunch together to defend a compound. I was actually pretty impressed by your score. Was wondering how you did it. Then I remember you always outscored me anyway. ^_^

I was under 1.0 for most of my game until the last 30 seconds when I got behind the compound and surprised them. They were distracted by someone in the front yard. And for Pete's sake, I had auto-healing and turret perks to help me !

 

[Jubs]

Are there vehicle sections in the sp? Spoiler tag it, if you want, I just want to know. I loved the vehicle stuff in the first game.

I'll say one thing. I feel the difference in levels much more so than other shooters I've played that do that. Once I got a custom loadout, it got better. We had 3-4 less people in one of those next rounds but we held up in a house and put ammo beacon s everywhere. We kept regenerating grenades and turrets so it was brutal. They just kept dying against as they tried to rush in. They never got any kill streaks to put up sheilds with lol.

 

[McLovin]

Can't wait, I got to be honest I was only so so enjoying the beta until I started upgrading. After I umpgraded my guns it turned into a completely different game. <3 level 3 shotgun

 

[Yoshichan]

Insomniac Games just keeps making them bigger.

From best to worst:

FoM -> I8 -> 3 -> 2

The one in the R2 pic is a Goliath not a widowmaker homies

 

[Pikma]

I'm finally back today, I didn't play the beta yesterday, but today will we different, hope to see you there, guys :3

Nope, well none you can control.

I have no idea what he's ranking. ^_^

Yap ! That's why I want to try out the no perks mode. ^_^

 

[Loudninja]

That widowmaker in the first panel looks drunk.

 

[TacticalFox88]

Question: Why would the US Army Discharge ANYONE at this point? WTF? They need every capable man and woman they can get their hands on.

 

[dralla]

Is it me or is the Carbine worthless? I see no reason to use it over the Bullseye. The BE is plenty accurate in mid-range even though it's supposed to be the "SMG" type weapon. Spawning with maxed out BE and Rossmore is insane. I finished 50-8 earlier, it almost feels like cheating.

 

[patsu]

Round 1:
BobTheFork + MarksMan vs Dralla + BullsEye

Both men think that their weapon of choice makes them feel like cheating.


EDIT: Dralla, I don't like Carbine also. Loudninja seems to like it.

Idk, the secondary fire of the Carbine can be pretty deadly in a pinch. Plus, it looks like you can unlock a bayonet attachment (I'm guessing one hit kill melee attacks). Although I still prefer the bullseye.

Speaking of the Beta, I just played my first few matches today. I was really impressed (other than the matchmaking being shit. I'm guessing this is a bug they're working on). It's really fun, and I was the highest scoring player on my team in my first match (although we lost by a lot, lol).

Depending on how I like the single player demo, I might get this game on release.

Also, my roommate saw me playing the beta and started asking what game it was. He's never played Resistance. I might see if he wants to play through Fall of Man co-op, because it's been a while since I've played that (amazing) game. Seeing the pic of the FoM widomaker reminded me of how awesome that fight was.

 

[Mulligan]

Okay, the campaign is sooo good. The atmosphere from FOM is back and then some.. the graphics are superb and everything so far is just.. wow. This is coming from someone who isn't a great fan of the series, but this, this is shaping up to be my favourite FPS this gen or atleast one of them. Bravo Insomniac, your R2 shortcomings are more than forgiven.
