So Gamespot got a preview but with three old screens, one of which we'd already seen before? Damn they're keeping this game on lockdown. ;P

do you know something or just think it's an old build because of that one old screenshot?

 

[My Arms Your Hearse]

I don't think Resistance is every going to be mind-blowing from a purely graphical standpoint, but at least wait until we see the supposed "new build" until final pronouncements are made (assuming this isn't, which it doesn't look to be).

 

[mckmas8808]

I was expecting to be blown away by the impressions in this thread :lol . Of course, I wasn't.

Okay but half the people in this thread are saying this game looks like a N64 game. So why were you thinking you were going to be impressed?

 

[RaijinFY]

do you know something or just think it's an old build because of that one old screenshot?

Actually there's one new screen. The two others are old but what i would like is to see the damn interview but I cant stream shit and the download is way to slow!

Huh? It looks amazing from what I've seen? I understand that some might have issues with the "art" style or the color palette, but everything else I've seen is beyond top drawer.

The interview showed a lot of new footage (didn't it?? new to me anyway)

 

[My Arms Your Hearse]

There is a difference between "new" and "different" as far as this games goes. There may be one DIFFERENT screen from what we've seen previously, but what indication do we have that any of these are from the NEW build "with the lighting in"?

 

[Andy787]

The interview showed a lot of new footage (didn't it?? new to me anyway)

Yes it did. Did you guys even watch the interview? There is tons of new footage in it, and it looks excellent, imo. The HD version is amazing.

 

[Raven.]

Exactly. Compare this to Bioshock and you'll see a grave contrast. Bioshock oozes creativity in a genre overburdened by these generic "me too" games.

Bioshock has atmosphere that refelcts the desperation and mystery of the story.

This, I see big robots walking around and people shooting at it. Its been done before.

Bioshock? Gphx no good, art design ~= strange melee, imo

Resistance creature/story design make it feel like a B popcorn scifi flick from the 80-90s period, which is both unique for a fps and very appealing, IMHO.

As for the gphx, if they fix the textures and add that new lightning mode this fps will be unrivaled in that dept, again, imo.

Gameplay-wise knowing inc., this will very likely own pretty much all recent and upcoming fps , likely including copy-paste-corridor-lo's sequel.

Go to the RSX downgrade thread. They don't care. People just love to hate the PS3 and its games because they want to feel secure spending $399 on their 360s last year.

 

[Drek]

do you know something or just think it's an old build because of that one old screenshot?

Do you really think they'd release an old shot with two new shots? One of the shots is from the same setting as most of the video, if it was new you'd think they'd have plucked some other shots out of the video.

Who knows, maybe this is all that the hyped up new lighting engine has to offer, but I doubt it. We won't get to see that any time soon though because apparently its an exclusive to some dumb print mag. ;P

I think that only applies to one person over in that thread.

 

[Max@GC]

Resistance would look quite fine...if Gears of War wouldn´t be there.:lol

 

[jjasper]

Resistance would look quite fine...if Gears of War wouldn´t be there.:lol

So only one game on all consoles is going to look good this year?

 

[Striek]

Resistance would look quite fine...if Gears of War wouldn´t be there.:lol

Actually, if we only focussed on in-game screenshots though, the gap in perception re: graphics between the two, would probably diminish.

 

[Mmmkay]

Some 720p screencaps from the HD interview. Some of them have a fair amount of compression artifacts so it's not quite like getting direct feed shots:

Icy.

Yeah, environments look shit, but the model is nice.

Some fairly decent texturing in this alleyway.

A shot to show that there is some aliasing in the game!

FINGERS.

O face.

Again...you haven't been following Resistance. The sniper rifle itself is creative. They have even talked about different guns throughout all of their interviews...

Looking at the interview, it looks as though the sniper rifle has a slow down effect. Bullets from the enemy (and the enemies themselves) move extremely slow when zoomed in with it. You can really see it work at around 3:10.

 

[Mojovonio]

...there are no words...

i just....didn't bother at all.

 

[REV 09]

that's a load of bullshit, unless you want to replace "people" w/ individual names.

EDIT: I haven't visited that thread. If you were referring strictly to individuals in that thread, then i apologize.

 

[Andy787]

Go to the RSX downgrade thread.

I got about seven posts in before clawing at the back button. I almost didn't make it.

 

[mckmas8808]

I know it was hyperbole. But you are right seriously. It's only individuals. People that I wish wouldn't troll this game as hard as they are. You would think they were getting paid.

Where did they come from all of a sudden? They weren't here last week. :/

 

[My Arms Your Hearse]

that's a load of bullshit, unless you want to replace "people" w/ individual names.

Well, since E3... listing out half the forum would be an excercise in tedium!

Spoiler

Not that I really agree with the assertion... I do think people enjoy "piling on" whether they mean it or not

I'm probably not reading that right. Did you just say that Bioshock's graphics are no good?

he did. I find i better to just move along.

50mhz rsx downgrade?!

 

[tehrik-e-insaaf]

Game looks alright but choppy (maybe due to video I downloaded)... The IQ doesn't look that great (maybe again due to the video I downloaded)

All this is moot of course... The gameplay looks pretty run of the mill... I hope they put some serious thought into it and provide for a distinctive experience because there are already 2 million other FPS/action games that are competing for my <very> limited attention span this fall esp. given FF XII and Zelda are both coming out.

Seems like they are trying to follow a "Black" type approach to the story where you learn about stuff as you play... Hopefully it doesn't resemble anything else about Black besides that...

Here's wishing Insomniac the best...

While I am not refering to the downgrade thread (that is only one person) there is a group that goes into every single PS3 thread and says negative stuff about every game no matter which it it. Some are just getting annoyed, because they are starting to think it isn't about the games but hate towards the system.

 

[Wollan]

Im amazed by the hatred seen in this thread. Amazed.
Talk about effin console war 'politics'.

i am just waiting for the screenshot warz. those are always fun everyone picks the worst possible shots for the games they dont like.

 

[Pimpwerx]

Anyone got a link to the HD video? The low-res one is still dloading for me, but is probably a complete waste if it's like any other GS video. Anyway, for the next 18 months or so, every game thread should have two version. One version for people to just hate on the game, b/c little of it ever seems to be based in reality anyway. The other thread will be to discuss elements of the game. I'm quite interested in the weaponry for this game, and just seeing how it progresses graphically (since I kinda hated on the graphics until the last month). But I'm a bit tired of wading through most of the tripe. I swear, I should put everyone but like SSX and a few others on ignore, b/c in most of these threads, it's only a handful of people who ever contribute new information.

That said, the pics look better, but the lighting is still off. Self-shadowing doesn't seem to be in place in these screens. That and the wierd thing is that one of the three pics GS upped today is ancient. The one with the chimera walking across that foot bridge has been out there for weeks now. I'm not sure the other two are any more recent than the third. These two pics could be ones the mags rejected months ago. PEACE.

 

[mckmas8808]

You've seen the other thread right? This is a gust of wind compared to that hurricane. :lol :lol

:lol

No kidding. I can't even talk about my future PS3 and Resistence now.

So, I stopped being serious and thought I'll just have a little fun. Hopefully by tommorrw things will calm down.

And where's Amirox and Kitty?

 

[My Arms Your Hearse]

We could only ever provide a pale imitation of gamespot in that regard, where topic posts have hundres of screens, and are then subsequently quoted in every post thereafter, requiring you to download a few gigs per page of the thread.

 

[Kittonwy]

They need to stop with the ****ing yellow.

What the **** is with the ****ing yellow?

I don't give a flying **** they're making the game ****ing yellow and ****ing muted for the sake of being ****ing authentic, as far as I know it's ****ing grey when it's cloudy and when you look at the ****ing sun, it would still look bright enough to hurt your eyes, not ****ing yellow. I don't ****ing live in England, if I want ****ing yellow, I would look in the ****ing mirror, so make the ****ing sky and lighting ****ing normal, for ****'s sake.

And yes, OBJECTS CAST SHADOWS, even with "ambient lighting", put the ****ing shadows in there already.

It's like they get the normal mapping right, they got the textures on the main character's hands right, it seems they've paid attention to the straps on the character's left arm but I have no ****ing clue what they're trying to achieve with their lighting scheme. Puzzling. ^__^

[Wollan]

Anyone want to talk about multiplayer? Sounds pretty advanced.
Getting upgrades for your base. Taking down nodes for overheating/respawning. Racial skills.

And I'm really surprised it's still going for 1080p, that's pretty amazing.

 

[Rody]

Come on, Kittonwy. We all now the final game is going to be beautiful.

OMG!!! I never seen this coming.

 

[dynamitejim]

Well I just watched the HD interview and I have to say the game does look pretty bland. That's in terms of both graphics and gameplay. The animation in particular is quite shit, it's a definite step down from the R&C games. The IQ is really, really clean looking though. Honestly, I liked the look of the original trailer much more. The gunplay didn't look all that fun either. Bleh.

 

[jjasper]

so... everyone is dissapointed?

Far from it.

 

[Rody]

Can someone upload the HD version of the interview for us, non-subscribers?

 

[JB1981]

Honest opinion: thought that video was fairly underwhelming. Looks like a garden variety shooter with muted/bland lighting. Not nearly as moody as I was expecting. Hopefully the game has a great musical score.

Where's Doom_Bringer when you need him?!

 

[jett]

Thanks for the HD pics Mmmkay. Guess there's no upgreadeton, none that we've seen yet at least. They need to stop with the "aiming for 1080p" shit, though...not as if this game has uberdetailed textures that would take advantage of the higher resolution.

Is that kosher around here? If it isnt an issue ill see if I can upload it somewheres.

That said, the pics look better, but the lighting is still off. Self-shadowing doesn't seem to be in place in these screens.

Yeah I think thats the biggest thing holding it back visually so far. More dynamic lighting/shadowing would go a long way. It doesn't really seem to be pushing much as far as shading effects either. That said I think there was a lot of nice detail going on in this build. The footage in the square had a ton of enemies, all sorts of particle effects (smoke, tracers, dust, debris and ash flying around), nice physics on the grenades and ragdolls, big open environment et al. I was digging the amount of chaos there. Here's a couple more caps...

Those spiky looking vessels in the background are new to me. Some kinda landing?

I bet this gun ends up whored like crazy in MP...
