ok i admit that from many of the previous videos that i saw of R2, i thought the graphic were underwhelming but thanks god, this video just show me how impressive the visual of this game is and guess what ? it looks like a really fun game. Congrat to Insomniac, they delivered once again.
I watched bits of that video and thought it looked excellent. The atmosphere is a massive improvement over the original (it feels as if the game now has an identity).
Honestly, the only real complaint I have remains the transitions used for aiming (there are none). I absolutely hate how the weapon just sort of warps to the center of the screen rather than smoothly animating the gun moving to the aiming position. I don't understand why they decided against that. The current method is ugly and would deter me from using the aiming function. In all honesty, if they couldn't pull it off, they should have left it out (ala Halo). It's a nice feature to have, but isn't required for great first person gameplay.

So... are they reliable?
I bought from them before and I got what I paid for, so I guess they're reliable
They have a great reputation, at least for importing blu rays.dark10x said:
From my time in the public beta (that is ending today.. ugh), I've noticed that it feels very, very responsive in transitioning from run and gun to aiming. Yes, there isn't a smooth transition there, but as a result it feels more responsive. It's instant. The aiming function is a necessity unless you're a balls to the wall type person that uses the carbine and bullseye constantly (and even then, I think you'd need to use the iron sights for headshots).
dark10x said:
Game lacks that kind of visual finesse. It's very rigid and functional as far as camera movement goes. You will notice in the video(s) I run a lot whenever I can as I love how the camera waves a bit there. A pity it's so static during everything else.
Also, they have an awesome DOF effect going on at times, but they didn't use it on the gun when aiming. Not to mention the odd decision not to offer true ironsight view. Perhaps they didn't want muzzle flash to cover the view, but who cares. For some reasons I love when I can't see shit when I pull the trigger.
I hope they go for a more gritty and realistic approach for Resistance 3.

Just watched the beginning of TTP's video. When they call out for help in the plane, they say "India-Eight-Two to Tower".
India-Eight-Two = I82 = I8 (project name for R:FOM) + 2 (the sequel). Nice little detail
Apologies to those who already knew that.

for what its worth. The levels get more and more impressive as you go in terms of graphics and art design. Except for one small Section where they use the bungie technique of cutting and pasting corridors. The section was alright in terms of gameplay but level design was unsually dull for that one section. You will know when you hit it.
Looks like its straight out of halo.
otherwise each level impresses more than the previous one.

Maybe it's a competitive thing. When does Gears 2 come out in Europe.
With the minor graphical imperfections people have been mentioning in reviews and the massive improvements in the multiplayer code since the beta started, you can tell that Sony was just busting Insomniac's ass to get this out the door before Gears 2.
Kabuki Waq said:
IMO it goes up and down. There are some really bad artistic design decisions in some of the later levels. One in particular had me shacking the head wondering "why the hell did this pass approval from whoever is responsible for the art?". I'm referring to a section which is all black Chimera architecture with lots of thin white lines all over it. This is basically the worst case scenario as far as jaggies and shimmering/flickering are concerned. And it shows. You want to avoid that black and white mix like a disease. Especially on a system as prone to show some aliasing issues as the PS3 is. But yet Insomniac didn't bother. That section was a serious pain for the eyes. Other chimera environments are fine, with browns and greys, but that one was seriously disgusting. Constantly flickering at every step. Good thing it didn't last too long.

I have not reached that part.
Man game is so polished its sad that the quality wont be consistant. Flickering would feel so out of place.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Okay this is getting fucking ridiculous!
What the FUCK is up with VG+ and the CE? I canceled my order just for the CE and it doesn't seem that they'll even put it up. Also checked Tronix, DUH they didn't have it either.
Seriously, UGH...

Let me know what you think about that. I wouldn't say game is really THAT polished tho. At least in the review code, there are spots where enemies get stuck in the environment (you can see that a couple of times in the video I made for Gamersyde, it's very rare but it's there) as well as some oddities with the lighting engine. In some dark places, you can see objects and what not illuminated as they would under direct sunlight.

VG+ stop listing items when they sell out. I ordered the CE from them, but now it doesn't seem to be listed anymore.

PLEASE tell me there are plans to get the coop class system into the competitive multiplayer. There should be a downloadable expansion with maps specifically geared toward objective, team-based multiplayer. If the designers haven't played Return To Castle Wolfenstein, I'll send them my copy

:OOOOO Just thinking about it. That would rock so damn hard!!!
I bet the only reason it's not in there at launch is that they haven't quite found a ruleset that keeps it fun and strategic but keeps it from being a complete stale mate.
Is there going to be a special Full Moon Show for launch? I haven't listened to the latest episode yet.
Killzone 2 multiplayer... look it up.theBishop said:To Jstevenson:
