Resistance 3 Beta : Impressions and Discussion

GGs to everybody I guess. lol. Let's hope the final game is nothing like this.
Yeah when it works it plays nice but right now the beta is just an absolute mess. I had a bunch of problems with weapon pickups and my bubble shield rarely worked.

lol I think we spent too much time trying to get a game going but before the game disconnected I was having a lot of fun, more fun than the public matches I played. I like the flow of the game better with fewer players. We should do another private match soon and get even more GAF players on this, though.
 
Good games. Not sure if the game is just buggy or if it was really laggy but everything definitely wasn't working correctly. Some of my perks took a while to actually work and my Mutate killstreak never deployed. At one point the game changed my loadout when I spawned.

I agree I had fun too .... Maybe sometime tomorrow

They already fixed everything in the retail build ,they just waiting on patching the beta, yet again you have no idea what you are talking about.

Both Confrontation and Socom 4 shipped in a pretty bad state, so it wouldn't be unprecedented for a Sony published game to be under cooked by retail.

GGs to all.

Killzone 3 as well. I feel bad for Insomniac if PSN debacle limited their ability to bug test the game but this shit is ROUGH

Isomniac's netcode for Resistance 1 and 2 was always solid. They know what their doing. Those hacks over at Slant Six on the other hand...

Seriously even hosting a private match is a mess. This game is not ready to ship in 4 weeks

eh, it ran pretty good during the closed portion of the beta. We're dealing with the scaling issue and bugs for the amount of users that hammered it. Obviously we have work cut out for us, but considering how, crashes/lag/framerate/invisibility glitch aside, things were going during July, we think we're in ok shape, and we have an idea of what's causing the worse issues and/or how to fix it.

Again, we realize the current state is unacceptable, and we're going to get it fixed.

ah. system level online pass means i have to skip on R3. PS3 may be dying soon and i'm not risking having to buy a fucking pass for the replacement

right, but you can re-download the pass to your next system via account management/download history.

I not worry at all, looking how R1 and R2 ended up.It is weird though how that stupid invisible person bug pop up that didnt happen in the family and friends beta.

Who shit in your wheaties kiddo? I could tag quote you thousands of times and it would be so accurate each and every time...

Says the man who gets in a tantrum whenever someone says anything remotely bad about R2 and R3.

That I do. I guess what separates us is I can openly admit I am a huge fan of the franchise, I don't think he (or many others) can admit to trolling / hating just because they expect way too much and are often unreasonable.

I don't see eye to eye with tech enthusiasts who demand pixels, shadows and special effects. I hardly think you'll ever find me defending R2 for bugs / gameplay. The only thing I ever "defended it" for (and R3) was people complaining that it wasn't "high res" enough for their "standards".

So yea, there's a difference between me mocking someone for being a tech junkie, and someone calling someone else a liar, so to speak. At least that's how I see it. *shrug*

Didn't say that it wasn't. Just saying you're full of shit if you think Tim Salvitti is a liar and blowing smoke up your ass.

A tech junkie lol. Expecting a beta to have the most basic of online functionality makes one a tech junkie now? OK man

What else is Tim going to say, Pliskin?
 
I haven't been able to play the beta, because of the matchmaking. But will the issues everyone seems to be complaining about be fixed by launch?

The issue is, you just immediately label users trolls whenever they point out issues with the games. It isn't the first time you done this and won't be the last most likely. Yes, the beta is a buggy mess which IS expected and I don't see how you can argue against it. Insomniac knows this considering they already discussed a patch day 1. There is no point in arguing that.
 
Let's all be friends plz and stop calling each other trolls and tards and so on.

Game is out soon :). I am strangely hyped for the plot of this one. Maybe cause R2 ended on a cliffhanger.

Yes. Vitti said most of them are fixed already in the retail build not all but most.

Oh goodness.

I think you misread my response to creamy.

I acknowledge, and agree, that the beta is buggy. I haven't said anything regarding that, period. I have said that he is full of shit for calling Tim a liar. When Tim has nothing to report, he say's nothing. He's always been upfront, either saying "we're working on it" or "it's done". If he has nothing to say, he'll simply be quiet. He's not going to say "oh yea, it's all taken care of, things are good!" just for the hell of it. Saying he is, is bullshit. Just saying.

Tim, James, and the rest of the Community Team go the extra mile to take care of the "fans". They hooked how many folks on GAF up with beta access for nothing? Just because they're fans? Come on man, calling him a liar? How ungrateful can you get?

Anyway, hopefully I'll have time to hook up with some of you folks online and show you the power of the Mutator.

Also, working on OT stuff as we speak, just snagged shit tons of Concept art off of the latest EP of Qore, and a lot of it is pretty damn awesome.

No one misread your response. Again - as you have done countless times in the past - you freaked out over a comment you perceived as hostile towards this franchise and its creator. I have participated in many betas in the last few years and I have never played a beta that was this buggy this close to release. I am hopeful that the team has resolved all the issues but I am extremely skeptical. In fact, if someone was interested in this game solely for multi it would probably be a good idea to wait a few weeks to see how things shake out.

If someone is interested in R3 MP, he should join the beta right after the next patch. That way, feedback can be noted early. And he can judge for himself whether the game is right for him for free.

Waiting just means he will need to play against high level players with intimate map knowledge. The reviewers won't have the latest picture anyway due to their lead time.

Needs more games IMO...

Is there a R3 XMB chatroom for organizing GAF game ? I'm in one with pwonager, Lince, Wowbagger, etc but they seem to play U2 and other games more.
 
My friends list is full. 8^(

But I'm keen to get more people into the GAF chatroom because people do linger in the room often. Had a few funny chat sessions with people there. What is your PSN Id ? I'll see if I can free up one friends list slot just for chatroom invite. Will drop you from the friends list after I send you the invite. I'll see you in the chatroom anyway once you join.
