[Man]

So incredibly hyped. Looks wonderful.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Everything? I guess specifically, it's the lighting that just looks way out there.

Not to mention the pistol is being held at different positions in different videos.

In one it's being hipfired, the other is with the "iron-sights," i.e. probably holding L1 or whatever.

 

[Boss Man]

The hat will wear you.

I hope so. I just don't really trust a lot of those scenes. I loved Resistance: Fall of Man so if IG pulled this off I'm going to be pretty damn happy ontop of my hat's head while I play the game.

Looks like it was laying on the floor, so I think we can presume it was dead and got carried by the explosion.

Ah, that makes sense I suppose.

In one it's being hipfired, the other is with the "iron-sights," i.e. probably holding L1 or whatever.

So does that... I think the pistol is centered throughout most of the video though, I guess that's what threw me off. Usually it's the other way around and you see transitions.

 

[Lince]

They do

Plus, standard Chimera will flail around wildly when their heatstacks get punctured - and when they explode they cause grenade-like damage to other characters. If you're a sharpshooter you can have a field day.

:O I see someone has been playing around a bit with those gas canisters in the warehouse of the Corynth River level in Killzone 2...

 

[Elbrain]

:O

Well hot damn that just looks way too awesome, and GG at the dude in the window :lol

 

[GeoramA]

Animation is soooo good. Wow.

With so many great games early next year, September should be here in no time

 

[wouwie]

Looks great. Love the art style and atmosphere. Animation seems great too.

Go go go Insomniac

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

I'm fairly indifferent towards R1, didn't play R2, but this looks really great. I like the similarities to Half-Life 2's art direction, the rendering looks new and improved, and the animations look great so far. Definitely gonna play this one.

 

[Team Klimt]

The gif is awesome, but it lacks DOF or something like that.
I mean that the chimera model seems projected on a wall if you are focusing your view at the hand+gun.
Don't know how to explain, but feels odd to me.

BTW weapon wheel = insta-buy for me.

The Long Legs gif above does not have depth of field because the gun is not being "aimed". DOF kicks in when you use iron sights.

 

[msdstc]

Wow these visuals are ridiculous. THe more I watch, the more I'm impressed. I don't understand how it can be such a huge leap from the 2nd one.

 

[.la1n]

Well hot damn that just looks way too awesome, and GG at the dude in the window :lol

fap away my friend, fap away

 

[Loudninja]

Hey Team Klimt I am pretty sure I know this but the Hammer is not a situation weapon is it?I can bash chimera skulls whenever I want right?

 

[-viper-]

Motion blur FTW. Resistance 3 looks incredible.

 

[Arkham]

We can upgrade the hammer right?

Dual-wield!

 

[Hydrargyrus]

 

[dralla]

chimera don't like the heat. sledgehammer upgrade should be FIRE SLEDGEHAMMER.

 

[Dibbz]

Where did that second exploding chimera on the right come from? It looks like it shoots from the first one's leg or something.

Secondary fire maaaan. Tag an enemy and sonic boooom. There were probably dead bodies all around the floor that got kicked up with that blast.

 

[Loudninja]

Speaking of heat I think its about time we got a flamethrower is it not?

 

[Ashes]

I hope we don't get bullet sponge ai in this game. Cod had brain dead ai, but I like that they went down quick.
I wonder if Insomniac has settled on how they are going to handle player health. Are they going to return to health bars of 1, or the red screen of 2?
I understand that they are trying to make the experiance more immersive, but then why do they have bullet sponge ai? And I never understood how blood splattered screens made it more immersive or realistic... what is that supposed to be? whose eyes goes red, just when they are about to die? Make the player limp, or slow everything down, like in Vanquish, but why cut to horror movie style cinematography? I'm trying to play here, I can't see shit... :lol

If they are trying to make it more intense or let you know you are dieing, then there's got to be another solution to the problem surely. Because nearly dieing and surviving is a way better, more intensive, satisfying experiance, rather then the blood screen, making it difficult and distracting, leading to death and taking me out the game completely.

There was one in Fall of Man.

post Cod:waw?

 

[Loudninja]

There was one in Fall of Man.

Yeah that is right,I don't think I ever used it though.

At the current moment, once you get it, it stays in inventory.

Very nice, the Resistance games didn't hav much in the way of melee this way you save ammo as well.

Didn't Killzone 2 get a release in Germany? There was also the glaring similarities to SS uniforms and insignias in that game.

 

[jstevenson]

post Cod:waw?

not sure... but if you ever wondered why the Dragon was Green in RFOM (the original red/orange fire effect was AWESOME too) - then you know. Something to do with holding the device lighting human characters on fire and actively participating... vs doing something like throwing an air fuel grenade or exploding a barrel.

 

[lowrider007]

These animated gif's, are they actual real game footage?

Also I like the muted colour tones, I hope the they stick with that.

 

[Hydrargyrus]

There will be more cqc weapons?

that's how one government ruins it for others.

The art direction and style looks incredible. I hope the looks consistently good throughout the campaign.

And I think I'm going on a media blackout on most games now

I don't want Kilzone 3, Uncharted 3, Infamous 2, Resistance 3 etc to be ruined! I saw 90% of KZ2 and GOW3 before it was released :\

 

[beast786]

Day and Night from R2 to R3. Personally bigger than any other Next Gen .

0_0

 

[TrAcEr_x90]

I had hoped they were leaving the old school photo filter over top the graphics though, but it does look so goood!!! that polish time does wonders eh??!

And how do you guys learn about this kind of things?
You send a build to SCEE and they check every European law?
Its like that English Church all over agin. =3

Didn't see this shot posted earlier in the thread:

 

[rexor0717]

:O
That is amazing. If this is representative of the final product, this may be one of the best looking console games I've ever seen. This game is slowly becoming my most anticipated game of next year.

 

[lowrider007]

Plus will we get to see a lot of chimeran architecture?, the attention to detail of the alien architecture was stunning in RFoM, sadly it was something that didn't seem to get too much attention in R2.

Final product? No way bro.
They still have almost a year in development. I'd say they'll probably be polishing like crazy in the last 2-4 months. It shall be freaking glorious.

Find a better host JS, and hook us up with some new shots please.

I will be quite disappointed if there'll be no Dragon

 

[jstevenson]

now it's back!

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Insomniac more than any other company I have seen go through a final layer of graphical polish the last couple months before release that is just staggering. Expect to be further blown away by the fidelity of the game as we get closer to September.

Hot damn that is a gorgeous shot.

Some PS blog comments

James Stevenson | December 11th, 2010 at 11:40 pm

The gameplay section (which obviously wasn’t live action) was all totally in-engine and real-time. Some of it was with a director’s camera, but if the gun was in Capelli’s hand, that’s us playing the game at Insomniac this past week!

About upgrading Guns

James Stevenson | December 11th, 2010 at 11:42 pm

yeah, they show cosmetic, functional and power differences

About the Hammer

James Stevenson | December 11th, 2010 at 11:45 pm

It completely plays into the story why he ends up in the Arena with only a sledgehammer… stay tuned!

About the footage

James Stevenson | December 11th, 2010 at 11:48 pm

The gameplay section was all 100% real-time, in-engine, running game.

About the Story

James Stevenson | December 12th, 2010 at 9:49 am

In many ways, it’s a best of both worlds. The story is a darker, more focused road trip, but uses the in-engine cinematics that R2 really excelled at. The tone is darker like RFOM, but also has some of that Americana that you saw with the christmas decorations in the flooded city, football stadium, etc.

I think it takes the best of both and combines them.

Its been done. We need a Dual-edge sledgehammer!

Giant octopus-like Chimera creature as the boat level's boss: confirmed.

Didn't see this shot posted earlier in the thread:

are you guys leaving this photo filter effect on for the game? or is this only for the stills you are releasing. Didn't look like this was on the trailer footage?

Reminds me of the R2 giant octopus sketch. Feels like the draft is coming to life.

[brandonh83]

Love it so much when awesome devs bring their A-game. I liked Resistance 2 personally but understand the complaints-- which I'm sure Insomniac is 100% aware of. This is on the path to greatness.
