Billed as "The world's first dual-analog FPS handheld game."

Boxart is awesome.

Still not sold on the game based on impressions/vids, but hey, they still got time to shine that shit up for Vita!

Isn't this by some C- developer?

Ouch, do you feel entitled to a better developer? Maybe you should try it before you judge.

A step up for the series.

 

[Himself]

I'm looking forward to it. Resistance is one of the franchises that I'm just unrepentantly in love with the lore of. I hope they don't ignore the story. Oh...I also hope the gameplay is good.

 

[Kerrby]

I was this games biggest hater but now I can't wait.

Gimme dat online resistance, even if it is only 4 vs 4. Oh and that box art is pretty damn cool.

 

[pseudocaesar]

Im excited for it, I love the Resistance series.

 

[- J - D -]

Hope they improved the grafix.

I know you're jesting. There is no way any one who has played Resistance 3 can say its a "D".

Their track record doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Not the first dual analog FPS Handheld game.

 

[Loudninja]

Hope they improved the grafix.

The graphics look better, but the framerate needs to be fixed out before release.

They have time though.

 

[BeEatNU]

Hope they improved the grafix.

huh?

Those pictures do not look bad at all.

 

[StuBurns]

I know you're jesting. There is no way any one who has played Resistance 3 can say its a "D".

I was indeed joking, but if C is average, I'd say Resistance is a D actually. Not that the past games says anything about the quality of this, same with KZ actually, I can't wait to see that again.

 

[Truth101]

Who doesn't want a developer that is actually good, to develop a game in a series they like?

Neither did this one:

So, hey.

edit: Urban Chaos was terrible, what are you guys talking about.
edit 2: whoops, wrong Urban Chaos, was thinking of the PS1 version. Ignore.

 

[- J - D -]

huh?

I mean from the build they showed last fall.

 

[Jinfash]

Ouch, do you feel entitled to a better developer? Maybe you should try it before you judge.

I personally think people do.

The Resistance IP has had a bumpy road, a new game from Nihilist and the recent statement by Insomniac casts even more doubt
on it.

And not to mention how the game looks and sounds extremely average so far.

 

[Bebpo]

Ouch, do you feel entitled to a better developer? Maybe you should try it before you judge.

Well when I'm even slightly interested in a franchise (and resistance has had times of being an interesting IP), I'd rather the publisher's give it to a good developer to produce an interesting new spin on the IP like when Sony gave Bend Resistance Retribution or when Konami gave SH Origins to Climax UK. It's not often you give a studio with a track record of bad games a strong IP and they churn out a good one magically. More likely to be a wasted entry in the franchise.

A step up for the series.

cold. Insomniac is a pretty decent developer.

Spoiler

except when they make games like Resistance 2 & All For One

 

[NIGHT-]

Isn't this by some C- developer?

At this point, the series can only go up..

 

[chubigans]

Not the first dual analog FPS Handheld game.

Oh? That's what Sony says anyways. So what is the first?

 

[Salz01]

I know you're jesting. There is no way any one who has played Resistance 3 can say its a "D".

The third one was just as bad as the second one.

 

[Bebpo]

Neither did this one:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocksteady_studios

So, hey.

Rocksteady had ONE game prior that had shaky development and even so was garnered with at least decent scores and considered a good smaller game.

C'mon, that's not a really fair comparison.

 

[Jinfash]

Neither did this one:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocksteady_studios

So, hey.

I rolled my eyes so hard they almost popped out of their sockets. Rocksteady earned their newfound rep after proving themselves, same goes for Nihilistic.

It doesn't mean that people must rid of their skepticism. That's just naive.

 

[Allonym]

Resistance 3 has the best campaign of any shooter on the PS3 and better than alot of other games across various other platforms that are held in high esteem. Shame it doesn't get the credit nor praise it deserves. Really hoping Insomniac haven't given up on it because it didn't sell.

 

[Massa]

The point of the post you quoted is that games shouldn't be judged before they're released, which is what some people are doing here.

 

[Kyoufu]

I watched a video of some gameplay and thought it looked bad, but who knows... Not interested personally.

 

[Allonym]

The third one was just as bad as the second one.

Blasphemy. Deus Ex is about the only game that had as good a campaign as Resistance 3. Insomniac truly redeemed themselves

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Neither did this one:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocksteady_studios

So, hey.

Didn't Arkham Asylum get trashed right up until release here?

Resistance 3 is overrated on gaf.. I'd even say Killzone 3 is more memorable. But, Insomniac has pretty much said there done with the series

 

[Card Boy]

Neither did this one:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocksteady_studios

So, hey.

One game? Seriously? And that one game had a 75% meta on Gamerankings, 75% is not a bad score.

 

[Y2Kev]

At this point, the series can only go up..

OMG LOL HAHAHAHAHA OMG

 

[The M.O.B]

Urban Chaos was amazing so that's a pretty bad point you tried to make.

 

[NIGHT-]

no? I remember the hype being huge even before the demo, which just confirmed that the hype was worth it

 

[Truth101]

The point of the post you quoted is that games shouldn't be judged before they're released, which is what some people are doing here.

I bet the new Petz games coming out on the 3DS are going to be pretty good. I'm completely ignoring past titles and the developer though.

 

[Jinfash]

The point of the post you quoted is that games shouldn't be judged before they're released, which is what some people are doing here.

But they can still express their skepticism, especially when the stacked odds are this high.

 

[chubigans]

Maybe not, but I feel like most devs deserve second chances. Except for guys like Gameloft.

I rolled my eyes so hard they almost popped out of their sockets. Rocksteady earned their newfound rep after proving themselves, same goes for Nihilistic.

It doesn't mean that people must rid of their skepticism. That's just naive.

I don't think people should get rid of their skepticism. Heck, in the OP I already posted how I don't think the game will be all that great. But I don't like pinning devs as C grade until they really have a longer track record of poor games.

 

[Pranay]

The third one was just as bad as the second one.

Nope

Have you ever played a Petz game?

So, hey.

Um.... 1 good game pre-batman Vs 5 awful games pre-resistance?

My brain can't register how you're linking these two together.

 

[Pranay]

Um.... 1 good game pre-batman Vs 5 awful games pre-resistance?

My brain can't register how you're linking these two together.

Resistance 1 and 3 are one of the best fps games this gen.

 

[chubigans]

Jeez guys, let me make it more clear.

I have severe doubts about this game based on the bad impressions and poor gameplay vids.

I didn't like pinning a dev as a trash developer who hasn't, for ME, made enough poor games to be worth panning.

I think after this game I just might.

People have a right to be skeptical of this game based on the dev's history. But I want to believe.

[Himself]

Hmm. One must either be getting paid for reviews, love to thrive on negativity, or be just plain dumb to play through 3 games in their entirety from a series they loath.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Did they fix the framerate?

 

[theBishop]

I'll wait for reviews on Burning Skies, but I'm definitely excited for handheld FPS. And the boxart is cool, if nothing else.

The first game produced by Nihilistic was Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption

Looks good to me!

 

[CamHostage]

I'm very, very nervous about this game as the showings so far have not been favorable, but I will say that creating a firefighter character was a smart move for a Vita character. Something about a touchscreen and a fireaxe and other fireman's gear fit together well.

 

[DiscoJer]

Looks good to me!

Alas, there are two Vampire: The Masquerade games. I didn't realize that either until I bought it off of GoG. D'oh! The good one is Bloodlines.
