This trailer actually made me consider getting into the Resistance series. Just one question, I hear you use R2 trigger to shoot. Can I change the layout to R1?
Should I bother with Resistance 2? Seems like everyone is down on it.
I personally feel R2 is awesome, but that's because I wasn't a big fan of R1 outside the weapon wheel.
Honestly, if someone was truly into R1, they probably will not like R2. I just couldn't get into R1 much but instantly fell in love with R2. It's just that these things turned people off, while they were a huge plus for me:
-Narrator and still artwork telling story were removed and replace with real time graphics (plus for me).
-The gradual piece health system was removed and replaced with the standard you will heal as you avoid fire for a bit (good for me since I hated searching for medical kits).
-Game was more linear instead of more open (I'm a fan of linear games).
-Controls now allow you to aim (big plus for me, I really liked it) like in CoD.
-Story mode co-op gone and replaced with an MMO style 8 player co-op (huge plus for me).
-Grainy looking graphics gone (good because I felt it made the first game look last gen in a way).
-Weapon wheel removed and replaced with two weapon system (I like it because I tend to only use two weapons anyway, and like having the right weapon put in front of me for certain situations).
Only thing I did not like about R2 was competitive, where I give R1 the advantage in that. I do feel R2 definitely had cooler bosses and more fun weapons. While GAF doesn't seem to like R2, the majority of people I know on my PSN buddy list prefers R2 in pretty much every way. A bunch who could not get into R1 got into R2. I just re-bought R2 today because I wish I never let it go.
