I can't wait for Resistance 3 in 2010. Insomniac pumps out game sequels every 2 years right? That means Winter 2010 will be 2 years since Resistance 2.

I hope they add some more gameplay types suited for people like myself who aren't fan of respawn game types. I've always been a fan of 1 life is all you get per round. It'd be great to have that with 60+ people, and a time limit. Throw in the same game type with an objective like blowing up a Chimera tower while they have to defend it would be fun as hell for myself.

The last thing I want to see is vehicle gameplay added in. Resistance 1 and 2 really never looked amazing graphics wise since there is so much going on in each map for the online multiplayer. If they added in vehicles too it'd become overly chaotic and take away from the core gameplay of Resistance 1 and 2.

Vehicles in a FPS have to be introduced at the very start of the franchise if you ask me. Gameplay has to be balanced and thought of with vehicles in mind from the very start. If they did add vehicles I would hope it's only in select game types and not across most game types and maps. I'd end up passing on buying it if that were the case.

I am totally excited though to find out what happened to Nathan really at the end of the game. Insomniac has kept me interested in what happens from 1 to 2 without any loss of anticipation, and the same goes to knowing what will happen in #3.

I'd rather have it be something else than resistance. It seems like Insomniac has done all they can do w/ that title. Make a sly cooper or something.

R3 could be R2-fixed. I like R2 a lot, but the competitive needs work, the art needs to be consistent through out the game, water dynamics improved, add some destruction, a cover system, a much better lobby system with map reel and "staying in the game while playing ranked" would be appreciated, a bit better weapon balancing and if they really get all that done, they can add vehicles. Visuals are already good, just some minor adjustments would be nice, IMO. I think R2 was to ambitious. To big of a gap from the 1st. R3 could fix that. At least I hope it will.

Just wanted to point one thing out here. The article here doesn't mention it, and I haven't seen it brought up here either. The article does mention that Su-Cheng worked on Lair, and also worked on the MVP pipeline used in The Show. What it fails to mention however is that he was also involved in the production of KZ2. So....all these people claiming KZ3 might not be so far off with that. I mean he did work on Killzone 2. As for the ones claiming it's too early, to you I simply say: look how long KZ2 took to make, you think it's really that farfetched to think they aren't at least getting the 3rd started in the early stages at this point if they're planning on a sequel?

That text could EASILY be photoshop'd and would an internal Sony worker use the term "AAA Title"? "AAA" is a term the media uses and I've only heard it said maybe twice from real developers or companies. Seems to me they would say "Title" since "AAA" has almost become a slang term for an awesome game.

I also highly doubt that Insomniac was working on R3 2 months before R2 came out and over a year before their next title (R&CF:CiT) will be released. Seems to me they would be working on polishing R2 2 months prior to release and/or working on R&C. With 1 game just about to launch and their next game just a year away, I doubt a small company like Insomniac would be working on a game releasing potentially 2 years from then; that would be 3 games at once for a relatively small amount of staff! Insomniac says they like being a small company and that they are.

Although just about everything Sony's first-parties deliver is AAA quality so the odds are quite good for it being a AAA title... that is unless this just a photoshop-job. I could use MS Paint to make that picture look like that document said "Hey Jane, did you hear Kaz and Jack are getting married in California?" but that's not as believable as Sony making a AAA title.

I found R2 a much enjoyable experience than Gears 2 which was more of the same, I know there are tons of fans who think Gears 2 is a better game but I felt the tension of war completely lost in the second one as compared to the first...

AKS - 107 days 7 hours ago

The original's campaign was far better than in the sequel, which seemed to spoonfeed you regarding which direction you must go or which weapon you need to pick up and use. I think they tried to do too much with R2 in too short of a time. Now that they have added an awesome online co-op mode and seem to have that component figured out, all I ask of the third game is too give me back my traditional-style capture the flag mode and make a stellar single-player campaign. The online modes are already pretty awesome as is.

R2 was pretty disappointing.

It was much shorter than the first game, the voice acting was uninspired, the graphics were...(let's not), and nobody really connects with Nathan. It's sad.

That and the other guy on the squad that survives looks EXACTLY like Nathan!

Also...

Gears 2 had one of the best campaigns I've ever played! Yes, the online sucked balls, but Epic REALLY blew me away with GOW2. (I wasn't a big fan of the first game. It was so repetitive!)

mastiffchild - 107 days 7 hours ago

I would think this is very likely to be either of the existing heavy hitting FPS's on PS3-there's no mention of when this game's due, is there? If it's 2010 it's R3 , later and it's KZ3, no?

The only other things I can think of is if Kojima has actually gone through with his FPS desire AND we're going to see it on PS3-I doubt it but it's a pretty thought.

As for the quality of R2 and how it seems under polished next to Ratchet. Wouldn't anything? I mean how long have Insomniac been making those games? Plenty to know exactly where they're going which allows them to concentrate on the tech and looks more than on Resistance I'd imagine. Also they impose tht two year dev cucle on their games which, I feel, some times cuts down on what they can do polish wise.

Anyway I thought R2 was a great game that just missed a little of the complete feel that you often do with the middle game of a trilogy(much like Gears2 if you ask me)AND lacked the posh bitd narrating-which was a sad thing too. The coop is fab, mind, and the ending is one of the best while playing on the hadest setting in SP is pretty cool even if the 60 player games online ARE madness !

Maybe we'll see something new, with longer dev time from their new studio alongside the biannual releases of R&C and Resistance-hopefully the mooted action RPG-who knows but I don't think there'll be another new FPS for PS3 right now myself.

they took an 'old school' style fps mp and completely changed it for R2. Sad thing is i can see the mp in R3 being similar to that of 2

First of all I never implied nor mentioned Gears of War 1 & 2. You have to give credit where its due and Gears of War did set the initial bar for current gen visuals. Secondly both games were exclusive to there own system and if you own one of them, you shouldn't be bothered by the other one, both Gears of War 2 and Resistance 2 are not the type of game that you will buy a console just to play them & like me if you own both then you should play both games because both are good games, it's just that in my opinion they don't have the wow factor that there prequels had. Now lastly my disappointment with R2 was totally related to campaign mode. R2 multiplayer is and was top notch.
Oh and yes i agree Gears of War 1 & 2 both had that cheating AI problem but since R2 is more of a in your face game rather then gears which is a cover based game. The problem was far more visible, there is nothing like watching the grims just run pass you allies to kill you. I mean srsly?

Sarcasm - 107 days 5 hours ago

I know what Jkhan is talking about.

I've been playing R&C Future again lately, and man it has a rock solid 60fps, but still manage to have amazing animations and textures. You can see how smooth Ratchet's ears wobble up and down. You can even see the fur breezing on his ears. Or the creative enemies that look even smoother.

I always wondered why they couldn't have made R2 60fps instead. It would have made it a much better gameplay experience IMO.

Ju - 107 days 5 hours ago

The co-op is a highlight in R2, the campaign is decent. But its not on the same level as R&C. R2 was an attempt to push a new franchise over its own limits. R&C was more of an evolution. That's what shows. I hope R3 will be that evolution for the Resistance franchise.

Glad to see I'm not the only one that feels this way. The FPS genre is simply, IMO, overdone this gen. Every time I look up, there's another one being talked about, and I'm pretty much over it.

I respectfully disagree. FPS games have always been popular. This generation has seen more FPS games on consoles, but not FPS games in general. Its just as simple as the fact that many of the FPS games used to be exclusive to PC and now the love is shared with the consoles.

If you dont like FPS games then just dont buy them. If there is one genre that i feel is starting to get overdone this generation then its third person cover based shooters. And having said that Uncharted 2 is my most anticipated game so far this gen.

Id gladly welcome another FPS game, but ofcourse only if its a very good one. Because mediocrity in the FPS genre is certainly something we have enough of. But you can never get enough of excellence, and thats what im hoping for
