Just when I thought it takes so much bullets to kill a Helgast...
Full impressions:
+combat is great feels every satisfying,much better than R2 and better than R1.It seems all the weapons got a big upgrade they all feel great.
+the atmosphere is really fantastic with he sad music playing while people are talking on radio it really seems there is no hope.
+the graphics are pretty good not great but this is a 2 month old demo without the use of full camera blur like the vast majority of the levels will have.In short I am not really at all about them because from what I seen an other people impressions it looks great.

it felt really blurry and muddy, i remember of resistance 1 looking really clean and sharp. it didnt have the most detail etc but it still looked good.
on the plus side the cut scenes looked nice and weapons felt solid. glad the wep wheel is back also.
edit: this is what im talking about, it looks so much cleaner and clearer than the shit i just played
You've expressed perfectly how I feel. Resistance 1 really did have that "clean" look. I wish they'd go back to it.

I really hope this demo is an old build. It's extremely terrible looking. Nothing that the level of Insomniac could release.

It is old. Watch some of the E3 multiplayer gameplay videos. You can clearly see a difference.

Okay demo's finished.
I love the cinematic feel. And god I missed the weapon wheel. It seriously just lets one pause to think in the midst of battle.
When the music kicked in, I made a mental note, to write here that they really should make the music louder... It came on at the right time... but then I thought, Well J.S was talking about listening to the music full on and stuff. So I thought, it being 9am over here, why not?
I honestly can't remember when I last turned up the volume a notch, and for what game, but wholly fuck the soundtrack is awesome...
This game is so bought!
J.S. You guys should have a mock message at the beginning, like in the cinema, where you ask the audience to turn off their mobile phones, but then you ask them to turn up the sound. Cause it sounds fucking brilliant with 5.1
There were crappy shadow textures at one stage though, and the wave splashes are not very good but overall, the whole thing looks so good. It feels like the Hale R1 universe.
I thought this demo was very well paced. There needs to be more music at the start though... Well I'm gonna go play it again on loud this time. So maybe I can hear some of the radio stuff on the background now...
Ps. The camera is so zoomed in, and I do like that you really feel as if your there, but I wish you could blend in the pointer more in with the background, or give us the choice of removing it or something. Maybe even the option of choosing the colour would be cool. Heck, they should let the guy rest his arms or something. He's always holding it up...
And I was glad that you didn't need the ironsights... so glad.
9.3 out 10

heard the account was banned.Pikma said:Does anyone else has it on their account?
For whatever reason PSN doesn't let me use Atruvius account, it asks me for his birth date lol
please please please? I'm kinda a big fan of the first two and I would love to check the new changes everyone is talking about.
The thing is the demo was not suppose to exist on the store.Pikma said:Yeah, just read it.
It's a shame how they go the long way just to keep you from playing a free demo that's supposed to exist to promote their game, but it's a bigger shame that I'll end up buying their fucking game.

...why the hell did they release a demo of that boring boat level when the rest of the game looks so good?

Well, a couple of gifs never tell the truth about the graphics... a lot of games can look good in gifs but it's a whole different story when you're playing the actual game on your own telly. I'm definitely not expecting any groundbreaking graphics from this game, especially when it comes to multiplayer..

Ok I haven't revisited a Resistance 3 thread since I saw that boat level that looked like total crap to me. Figured I'd jump in here and see what's going on with the game. This just went from buy to no sale back to buy again.

I was just so let down by R2 after those early bullshots that I'm kind of pessimistic when it comes Insomniac and reading that the game runs sub hd is also disappointing. Despite that, I'm still looking forward to the final game... hope they can deliver the goods this time.
Irish said:Nope. You?
Nope. And I won't talk about details. I just tell you that you should get your eyes checked.
I was watching some YouTube Vids. You should take notice to the following features:
- overall bland design, not many details, it's kinda "empty" (R2 had the same problem)
- low resolution, therefore clear aliasing, shimmering etc. pp.
- bad choice of colors (you can see that in the GIF too, gras is way to green etc.)
- lighting is "fake". I don't know the correct names, but I guess it's just "light maps"? It's not dynamic. The player character doesn't have a shadow at all, which is more than weird. If you compare it to U3 where you could player movement just because you see the shadows...this is leagues beyond. There are two "lighting" models for the gun. One with less contrast (for outside) and one for dark scenarions with a lot of contrast (so the gun is darker and no details are visible). There is nothing inbetween. There is just "dark" or "not dark".
- low res textures
Maybe Insomniac got hindered by the 3d implentation. I don't know. The engine doesn't seem to be updated compared to R2 besides the motion blur (but with lower resolution). At this point I'd prefer R1 engine with just more content, really. At least R1 was kinda nice to look at.
If KZ3 is a AAA graphics wise than R3 is a C- at best. In the MP, not talking about SP.
I am not really sure why you keep going to every Resistance topic and posting the same things.You are not in the beta you are judging things based on youtube vidoes.Also its pretty funny you telling him what to take notice of when he is actually in the beta.Thrakier said:Nope.
