@AJMarra: It goes to microsoft...did you see those sweet avatars?!

jpneiswi

also the game taking place in America... does that mean the chimera destroyed Europe? (have not keep up with R2 news)

also cant wait for Resistance Retribution Sony Bend = day 1

Captain Fury

@ahmeng:

Prince of persia? That game is looking nice.

OGHowie

whats up with all GoW and Resistance comparisons?

one is a FPS the other is TPS

besides theres 100s of games you could compare them with that actually follow their genres...

Captain Fury

@Sammo21:
Insomniac always does great weapons. Just look at the Ratchet and Clank franchise.

If I was getting either this or Gears 2, I think I would pick this. The 60 player battles sound awesome.

gamadaya

@AJMarra:
People, Please People don't fall into THIS guy's trap!

So many of these posts turn into a 360 vs. PS3 rant.

maniacmayhem

i really should reexamine this game (aka buy it and play it for once.) ..while i have played many shooters and all Im well...im pretty much the free kill duck that sits there with the neon pink shirt and the neon sign that says "shoot me".

I dont like comparing games to games..cause every game brings something new to the board (in duke nukem's case its the ability to say its coming out and keep people talking about it over 3 years later) I do WISH ..Wish there was a game where just like in rel life if i get shot Once in the head i died....or if i got shot in the foot i limped ..that would be nice.

@ahmeng:
Wait until TGS my friend....wait until TGS...

Sammo21

I can't recall any earlier game than CoD2 doing a blood vision when wounded thing.

Halo CE had visual indication only when charging and getting hit. The shield was measured by a meter and so was the health.

First visual warning for damage is probably Half-life.

The guiding blue

Shit, so much shooters getting the coverage & attention. R2, Gears of War2, Killzone 2, COD 5. Where's my platformer? My ICO games? Damn! And this gen, RPG doesn't until FF XIII is release. That's a fact!!

ahmeng

@Kanik: Could that be due to an unhealthy obsession with Tom Selleck?

h445

1. Two of of's in the beginning.
2. It's Chimera, not Kimera.
3. When players are shot, not shooot.

I know you guys are busy at E3, but c'mon, double check please. I still love you Bash.

DigiMish

@Jun581 won't give you tree fiddy!!:

Why, do you not?

LemmingX

@LemmingX:

Nope, sadly I don't think he was

LittleBigPlaneteer

uh-oh. I'm hoping this uped gore doesn't upset the OFLC in Oz. If this is refused classification, i'll be devastated.

ChiZ_MacT

@LemmingX: I really hope he was but sadly i dont think so.

.44 magnum with remote detonated explosive bullets. As if i needed another reason to get this game. Dirty Harry wants it too.

snakepliskin

I love the idea of firing a few rounds strategically into a crowd and blowing them all up at the right time <3

Gantz: Your Trusted Friend in Science.

@LemmingX: really?

Jun581 won't give you tree fiddy!!

@AJMarra:
Ummm, yeah....because Soldier of fortune didn't do that in the year 2000.

Please don't bring in the originality of Gears; it's fun, true, but remember almost everything Gears did...RE4 did better.

Sammo21

@AJMarra: I'm sure other games prior to GoW2 had that. And besides, would you rather be shot simply for being shot without showing how effective the gun might or might not be. The creativity is in the weapons. It has always been with Imsomnaic. Good old wacky weapons that are creative and fun to play with.

Jun581 won't give you tree fiddy!!

@AJMarra: To be fair, Halo one did visual warnings for damage and healing before GoW (and I'm sure games before Halo).

Anyways, I'm really looking to all the new weapons. When I heard of the sequel one of the first things I was hoping for was new weapons, something I had hoped Halo 3 would have done more of.

GDW1017

@LittleBigPlaneteer: I think he was being sarcastic.

LemmingX

@AJMarra:

The limbs of creativity got blown clean off.

The guiding blue

@AJMarra: Creativity can exist while emulating other proven gameplay techniques.

Not to mention Resistance 2 will feature a far richer story than Gears.

Although I hope Gears too spices it up from the usual "Oh shit, wretches!!!" to something remotely resembling character development.

sascha23

"Kimera" LOLOLOL
Is that like Mistar Chef? (Master Chief)

LemmingX

@AJMarra:

Yes, because Gears created those things....

LittleBigPlaneteer

@Netnavi:

On a good game standpoint, Sony can be argued to have won, but Xbox 360 FF XIII coup's importance can't be stressed enough.

After all, it was the only true surprise from the platform owners.

Resistance 2 seems very promising indeed. Anything that helps realism is welcomed by me and having some more gore is what Resistance needs.

The guiding blue

"...when players are shoot..." Should be shot. I can only guess at how tired you guys are so hope that helps.

Pegleg Joe

Doesn't Resistance 2 sound exactly like its rival Gears of War 2 now? Blowing off limbs? Screen goes red when you get hurt?

Where's the creativity these days?

AJMarra

For some reason, when I hear "gore" and "magnum" together, my pelvis goes numb.

Kanik

Fucking awesome! Love this: We've really upped the gore," says Price. It's possible to blow off arms, legs and heads."
@Benzak: dito!

goaliegeek

Gore?

magnums?

Later?

Man this is freaking awesome!!

Tom Clancy's Samuraidino

its Chimera not Kimera

SilkRevolver

Game looks excellent. And one of the reasons I think Sony won this E3. Though it wasn't that hard to do., They brought the games. That's all I wanted.

MS=2nd
Nintendo= bored me to 3rd (but the year isn't over yet)

And did anyone else read that as 44 magnum boobs?

Netnavi

Chimera with a See Heych Eye.

Antialias

Gonna be honest here, Resistance had the BEST weapons in an FPS of any game besides TF2 in the past 2 years. Resistance 2 could possibly up that ante.

Sammo21

yum, magnum bullet to the knee followed by detonation

D-TRON

Hey this sounds cool.

Also: Proofread!

Benzak

@ハリセンボン: Yep, it's kinda odd.
But an EXPLODING MAGNUM(!!!) kinda warrants extra gore.
Although, I liked Resistance the way it was, I don't think they really needed to add extra violence.

TheCleaningGuy

@Ravioli_Sumo: I can tell you exactly why.

In Resistance, if you played Co-Op, you just came back to life every time you died.

That really removed the difficulty, but it wasn't highlighted because it was designed as a single-player game.

This one is made with Co-Op in mind. Hence, they need a new health system.

Arsenicberyllium

@PITwelve:

Thats a relief ... don't have to worry about racial slurs, or other nasty obscenities ... and also don't have to worry about bad feedback because you stayed quiet and just owned them.

EnigmaNemesis

@The Magnificen7: You don't even own a PS3. How the hell would you know? Oh wait... you're trolling.

ƒox

Everything sounded good but the no health bar thing. I really liked that in R1, it made the game very difficult(being down to the last quarter and no health pickups around) but it was a breath of fresh air for me, as I played it after Gears, Halo3, and CoD4(Late to the party I know). Oh well, I'll just play the game on a harder setting.

Ravioli_Sumo

@The Magnificen7:Agreed, I don`t see this game attracting Gear`s players at all.

PITwelve

@noliferuin (PSN+XBL): I was just being silly.
I know he didn't die at the end. Either Time.

Arsenicberyllium

@OGHowie:
Yeah, definitely. PoP is the franchise that I have been playing for the longest time. The new one doesn't have the classic PoP look, but at least it's not all dark and moody like the previous 2 games.

gamadaya

@Arsenicberyllium: he disarmed the grenade and got in the osprey. it'll pick up with them explaining why they picked him up.

noliferuin (PSN+XBL)

@The Magnificen7: Thanks. So glad you're here. (see thats sarcasm)

Ive been noticing more 360 fanboys than ps3 fanboys in sony post and vice versa. A sad trend.

snakepliskin

So it's going to start off with us blowing ourselves up with a grenade while surrounded by US Army officers?

Arsenicberyllium

Does it creep out anyone else that "We've really upped the gore" is a selling point? :/

ハリセンボン

The game looks very good now.

Lots more color added, but not over the top. A very Half Life 2 look to the environments! Which as a GOOD THING personally.

EnigmaNemesis

@AJMarra: LOL, Resistance 2 isn't much of a Gears rival, granted, it looks better than R1 but... No, R1 just... sucked.

The Magnificen7

@gamadaya:
damn straight. I'm pretty excited for Quest For Booty as well. R&C is one of my fav series around.

Sammo21

Wait, wait, exploding magnum bullets? That is the most ludicrous thing I've read in a long time. And you know this is just to tell everyone they have more better explosions and blood than everyone else.

Which is, of course, the point of an FPS. Definitely not the challenge of maneuvering and making good use of your weapons.

I predict Resistance 3 will have KNIVES that explode when you stab someone. Or maybe fists. But you can take it, because you're [generic FPS badass character]!

Fnor

@PITwelve: I'm pretty sure they're referring to the average type of person that Gears draws.

ƒox

@PITwelve: He / She was saying Gears is a redneck game... I think that was pretty clear... No neck guys made of 110% pure testosterone that blow shit up and use some of Arnie's and Van Damme's favorite Catchphrases... Not to say I don't think Gears is pretty cool, but it is what it is...

bobtheduck

@EnigmaNemesis: Do you mean to say there is no shit talking whatsoever in Resistance when playing online? I seriously doubt that.
@avonkalgon: Just wtf are you talking about?

PITwelve

@avonkalgon:
HERE COMES THE TRAIN BABY! WOO!

Sammo21

cool

Murderdolls

@PITwelve yeah i agree, there is not enough steriod using wife beating, future rednecks with bad ass boom box titty armor and football pads. if gears somehow found away to put incest and nascar in the game, the fans would go wild.

avonkalgon

@Tom Clancy's Samuraidino: I really liked the Auger and the Hedgehog bombs :P

Damn, I Really need to finish that game.

Aex

@robinandtami: That is interesting to hear about Gears 2, I did not know that.

I remember some games in the past did that slow you down as you were damaged or being damaged... Can't remember which.. Maybe a Rainbow 6, Ghost Recon or Counterstrike, I really can't recall :( Either way, I just remember NOT liking it :p

Aex

:( I like health that'll stay down once your shot (Like Valve games, I suppose), I'm tired of all these FPS's with CoD-style regenerating health.

However, it is Resistance, and therefore will be amazing.

LastFace

@Toasticus: But the sniper rifle that slows down time,the exploding blob gun and the homing bullets gun werent?

They gun could shoot lightning and shruikens for all I care,just as long as its fun,which is what all the weapons in the first resistance were.

Tom Clancy's Samuraidino

@ƒox:I get what your all saying, but I beg to differ as people all over the world play Gears, and probably Resistance for that matter.

PITwelve

@DigitalVirus: How about that part where he got thrown through the glass window and we got a great slow-motion view of giant straight-edged triangle shards? That was pretty hot.

Toasticus

Resistance 2! One of my most anticipated for the year after Fallout 3.

DigitalHero

Remotely detonating bullets? That's just stupid.

Toasticus

That 300ft boss battle was the most scripted boring thing i've ever seen. I think it did worse for the game than good.

DigitalVirus

@finalcircles: "I do WISH ..Wish there was a game where just like in rel life if i get shot Once in the head i died...."

Lots of games have done that, or at least had custom variations that would allow that. GRAW2 comes to mind immediately.

or if i got shot in the foot i limped ..that would be nice."

Gears of War 2 will do something SIMILAR to that, in that the more you get shot the slower you move. It's going to make it a lot harder to run up on someone and shotgun or frag tag them.

robinandtami

Sweet! Detonated bullets. Insomniac, you never fail to impress

GTA4er

@M-26-7: Yeah im a bit dissapointed theyv gone for the standard regenerating health approach.I thought the first game had the perfect balance of regenerating health and health bar.

Tom Clancy's Samuraidino

@ハリセンボン:

Yeah ... dunno what to say. It turns me more away from the game, but I'm sure I'm in the minority.

DARTH_TIGRIS

What's with everyone and the fucking bloody screen? When did health bars become so un-P.C.?

M-26-7

@Toasticus: One of the things touched upon in the trailer for the PSP resistance mentioned how they were reverse engineering CHimera technology,and considering the game will be set a number of years after the first game its obvious theyv used some of the technology to soup up the standard gun.

Hell even in the first Resistance their were some over the top human made weapons.For me,they dont need to explain the gun,just as long as its fun to use.I personally cant wait to go all dirty harry on some hybrid,and then make his corpse explode.

Tom Clancy's Samuraidino

@The guiding blue: really? FF13 showing at MS conference was a surprise but it didn't make me say wow I got to have it. I can still get it on PS3 (the non redring console)

Fallout 3 did but that is also a multiplat title. Eveything at MS was multi plat except for Gears and the casual stuff (that is the same ol from PS2) UI changing is a contreversal setback that just makes the blades look different but the functionality is exactly the same. It's just blades but seperated in 3d space. Avatars also pissed off a lot of folks.

Sony has the exclusives. While they partially lost an exclusive they have way more 1st party exclusives. than MS.

Nintendo showed more peripherals giving credence to Cresende's (sorry If I spelled it wrong) theory and barely showed anything exciting. Isn't it great that they can bring moms to the console. Nothing says cool like moms snowboarding. But whatever.

I still say Sony won. All I cared about were the exclusives and Sony has it more than MS.

Netnavi

Sounds sweet -- can't wait till it releases

silverfox840

@Tom Clancy's Samuraidino: Admittedly, I'm not very familiar with the weapons of the original game. But there's nothing particularly counterintuitive about a weapon that can slow down time or an "exploding blob gun," and I'm guessing the homing "bullets" gun is the one that fired energy particles rather than bullets.

Unlike energy particles, bullets are a historical real-world technology, and there's only so much you can do with them before you throw any semblance of suspension of disbelief right out the window. If the gun was something that shot remotely-detonated flechettes that'd be reasonable and achieve the exact same gameplay effect, but saying specifically a .44 magnum and bullets just makes it sound utterly ridiculous.

Toasticus

@Aex: I was pretty partial to the hailstorm myself.the secondary fire always entertained me.

And the air fuel grenades are probly one of my favourite grenades ever in a game.Tossing it into a room with a dozen chimera and watching it slowly fill with gas,then wooosh,BBQed chimera.

Tom Clancy's Samuraidino

@Tom Clancy's Samuraidino: Ya know, I think the EA keynote was the best. And I think that may be in all seriousness. Ha ha, goddamn MS, I couldn't help but look away, every person on that stage was either boring as hell or ridiculously uncomfortable to watch. Sony was meh, and Nintendo was crap.

The Magnificen7

@DARTH_TIGRIS: True. I completely forgot about Banjoe Kazooie and Fable 2. And I really want to get Fable 2. I don't know. I just didn't get as excited as I should of with MS. Fallout 3 was amazing when they showed it but then I heard it was multiplatform. So Yeah. I guess the Sony games are more my style this year.

Netnavi

@DARTH_TIGRIS: I think the Sony conference won just for the fact that it didnt make me cringe anywhere near as much as the other two.

MS had a bunch of middle aged MS employees powering the bungie and swatting bees with the eyetoy and truly horrible karaoke performance from some singer iv never heard of//also the magic of software pissed me off a lot

Nintendo had some chick who looked like an old geography teacher of mine talking about how cute puppies are and reggie exuding sexual energy and talking about how rich nintendo were,also their was that drum solo....

Sony on the other hand kept the cringe to a bare minimum,though i did see another wookie in one of the promo videos,and a stormtrooper..other than that i cant think of anything majorly crgine worthy

Tom Clancy's Samuraidino

44 magnum sounds fun but after reading ign's preview of KZ2's multiplayer, i'm now more excited about KZ2.. man, i wish sony switches the release dates - KZ2 on nov, R2 whenever.. oh yeah, then there's socom

the_answer

More immersive? lol God knows when I got hurt or shot ANYWHERE on my fucking body I can just duck behind a wall for a few seconds and go back to fighting like nothing happened. Then again I don't put myself in situations to get shot so who knows.

tshack

@snakepliskin: A simple observation, I'm hardly a fanboy, I honestly think that Gears is a far better game. @ƒox: Hey pal, guess what? I don't have to own a PS3 to play a game for it. For the record, I have finished R1, and didn't like it! Is no one entitled to an opinion anymore? You know what's a sad trend, instantly being labeled a 'fanboy' or a 'troll' because you disagree with someone or make an observation. R2 may be a reason I get a PS3, I just haven't been tipped over the edge yet. So simmer down, and remember, only you can decide if you like a game. You can't make up my mind.

The Magnificen7

@Netnavi:
Gears of War 2, Fable II, Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, Viva Pinata Trouble in Paradise and more. MS has lots of exclusives. Sounds like you're just more interested in Sony's.

And as for the press conferences, MS had the one that didn't suck as much as the others. Nobody actually 'won'.

DARTH_TIGRIS

"It's possible to blow off arms, legs and heads."

So... banned in Australia then?

GregoriusH

@The Magnificen7: Im glad youre not a fanboy and you're certainly entitled to your opinion. The issue was with the "R1 sucks" comment which to me was meant to be inflammatory not to add to the conversation. We're not joystiq over here, id like to think kotaku commenters can be a bit more civil and less childish. God knows ive made comments that stepped on some toes, ask the wii guys... its a long story. The point is i think alot of us would prefer less petty fanboy bickering.

snakepliskin

Sweet, new weapon sounds cool. I'm disappointed that the health bar is gone, Resistance 1 combined a health bar with a progressive health system in a really cool way. On top of that, the weapon wheel is gone and in its place is... you guessed it, a one button quick weapon switch between two weapons slots. I don't mean to complain, the game sounds cool, but why is it that every shooter feels this need to copy the Halo formula with progressive life bars and 2 weapon slots? When did health bars go out of style? I don't know, for all the countless numbers of shooters that are out there, you'd think that each one would at least try to feel very different from the others, but developers seem pretty content to make every game pretty much the same with slightly different weapons and a different main character. The first Resistance had a lot of personality... don't let me down Insomniac.

tehflyingwombat

@tehflyingwombat:

Agreed. SOme of the best moments in Resistance 1 were when i was down to my ast quarter of health and desperately trying to hold the enemy back so I could run directly at an enemy position to collect a health pack.

I only hope the AI can stand up to regenerating health, without the risk of instant kills all challenge is taken away. What i liked about Uncharted was that the screen turned black and white to show how likely it is you get shot. Later in the game any enemy with a laser sight would get headshots.

Accordion

*cough*SO WE'RE MAKING IT A BIT MORE LIKE GEARS OF WAR*cough*

JaxMyth

44 Magnum Bullet Bombs.

That is hardcore enough, in and of itself, to make me want this game.

Don't know how many people will still say that the chainsaw-bayonets still beat everything here though.

Frank

I fucking love the concept for the remote detonating bullets for the Magnum :).

luxusa

BULLET BOMBS F- YEAH.
Seriously I think Resistance 2 will be a huge title, a big merit for the PS3.

tehFluffz

That sounds unbelievably sick (as in, awesome)

superevilcube

@Jun581 won't give you tree fiddy!!: Yup, it was executed nicely for the first time in "Soldier of Fortune", many moons ago.

somarix

"when players are shoot, the screen goes reddish..."

And when players are shoot very much a ddeadd is you.

Echo_Hotel

Wow dismembered body parts and regenerating health, that's so revolutionary. But in all seriousness this game is looking cool even though I don't own a PS3, but I'll definitely still be playing it on my friend's PS3.

jmill87

We'll have to see how it turns out.
Hopefully the voice chat in Multiplayer will actually work regularly.

I don't know....I've played RESISTANCE on my PS3....and its single player is missing something. You just don't really care what happens to the protagonist or what really happens in the storyline. I did like the variety of weapons but just like BLACK.....weapons do not a great game make.

Hopefully the story will be better this time around....maybe its the fact its a WWII-rewritten history versus a modern or future era story.
