Resistance: Fall of Man - Gamespot First Look

you guys... Insomniac has been developing games with a cartoony style for years. Considering this is the first dark and mature setting they've done in awhile, I think they're doing pretty good. Sure other games might have a little more of this or that but I'm really digging the art direction/style of this one.

Incessant pestering of Insomniac staff by forum members has yielded this.

The gamespot build was after the PSM build, if that's what you're asking.

EDIT: Yes, and before the MTV build

People have seriously got to lower their expectations for this 'new lighting' or there's going to be a lot of meltdowns when it's finaly revealed. Worst case scenarios is you lower your expectations and are pleasanty suprised with how things turn out. This is simply a decent looking first gen game that's likely to play very well.

So the new lighting hasn't been implemented in any of the videos/screens we've seen?

That's kind of a misleading question. Lighting was in for the gamespot build, yes. But if you're asking if there were lighting bugs in the stuff from that build, yes of course there were.

For example the grass in the mech shot wasn't lit correctly. It's just a bug, though, it's not that the lighting wasn't there.

While it's tremendously flattering that people are pouring over the screenshots pixel by pixel and analyzing them, I always find it a bit silly. It's cool to be excited about it, but you're not going to see anythign final until the game goes out in a box. The law of bug creation will ensure that.

It's not about the details in those small pics, but rather, what's being shown. :D

It LOOKS really interesting and cool rather than a generic CoD clone (not that I expected it to be).

That makes it sound like the much vaunted new lighting is already implemented, but Insomniac guy is trying to keep people's hopes up by making reference to lighting 'bugs'.

Told you guys to lower your expectations.

I also can't find anything exciting in the gameplay,overall it seems nothing more than one of the many fps currently available on PC.

It kind of reminds me of Killzone for PS2. Very basic gameplay mechanics. Probably why it just doesn't look exciting.

Whoa now...

Killzone offered suprisingly good play mechanics. The game PLAYED very well, but the piss poor AI and beyond awful framerate brought the whole thing down. They had a solid feel for the game down and made a lot of good decisions on that front, but in the end, it meant nothing.

AFAIK 6 types of enemies so far (leapers, menials, chimera grunts, advanced chimeras, slipskulls, widowmaker).

Yeah, I know! :D and I'm sure they'll be loads more, considering R&C series. But, in the other Resistance thread, there was a bunch of peeps lamenting the lack diversity in the enemy set, or some bullshit. :lol

We don't, and neither do you. We can only judge what we've seen. And...well, considering the allegedly ZOMG LIFE-CHANGING lighting(so much for that) is reportedly in this build, I doubt the game will look much better come PS3's launch date.

Like I've said before, this looks like a game designed for PS3's March launch date, like Fatal Inertia.

I think GAF blew that out of proportion, like everything. The devs post wasn't really expressing,"ZOMG LIGHT GRAPHICSOFF THE WALL." Poor devs, taken out of context at every turn.

no its not. Last weeks podcast by 1up mentioned that MTV saw the latest build and that they're going to see whatever it was Insomniac is showing at their event this Mon/Tuesday. Even by Mike Stout's own comment... the gamespot build is older than the MTV build.

Kittonwy blew that out of proportions. I told the guy to check his expectations and think through what is being said but no.
Before you knew it, the guy had started a campaign across a handful of big forums.

He did say he couldn't even recognize the levels when the lighting was "in". Someone else was the one that blew it out of proportion, not gaf. :p
