Resistance 2 Debuts at Disappointing 10th Place in the UK

United Kingdom - Call of Duty: World at War takes the top spot for the third week in a row in the UK according to Chart-Track. FIFA 09 and Mario Kart Wii both slip one slot to make way for a two-spot climb by NFS: Undercover.

Guitar Hero: World Tour makes another appearance in the top 10, and bringing in the rear is the debut of Resistance 2, and according to GfK Chart-Track, matches only approximately 66% of the original's launch week.

[TOO PAWNED]

Interesting. How did it do in Zimbabwe?
Seriously this is for UK only, UK does not =EU.

[resistance100]

Also take into account that because E-UK going bust. Most stores haven't even got copies to sell yet. Woolworths, Zavvi are just 2 of many who haven't got there shipment.

[TOO PAWNED]

Yeah i know people will try to spin it, just like they did with LBP. Even if LBP isnt a flop in any way, they still push that theory.

[jack who]

told ya wat a flop

[alexM]

It will debut at no1 on Spain, France, german and Italian charts though

http://www.gamesindustry.bi...

Most UK stores havent got R2

[borgome]

Man that comment made me laugh, just how got so worked up about somebody saying RFOM 2 is a flop. That's awesome.

[TheMART]

AlexM aka Nasim

You're back! Insane, using one of your old accounts not making any new ones???

[Lelouch V Brit]

As A Proud PS3,Xbox 360 & Wii Owner, Yes, It's Flop, But Guess What I Like To Buy Flop Games.

[fakeplasticlung]

halo 3 wannabes never win. halo 3 sold millions in its first few days on sale and reached number one in japan never mind the uk and not to mention it has a 9.4 on metacritic wheras resistance 2 has a luaghable 8.6 for a supposedly AAA exclusive. over a million people play halo 3 on xbox live every week, resistance 2 will struggle to sell a million so get outclassed sony. wannabes never win.

[Sir_Ken_Kutaragi]

Look at all these SCUM-SUCKING LOW-LIFE xBot VERMIN on this bit!!! ;-D

Disappointing = EVERYTHING about the xBox 360!!! ;-D

The xBox 360 still can't even beat the Wii at it's lower price??? That's the BIGGEST FAIL EVER!!! ;-D
(Oooops i said it again!!!) ;)

[dukadork]

and the bots cry.

coop and MP are awesome, SP has some amazing graphics, UK is gonna luv this game

[Deadman64]

hmm sir ken...then why is resistance 2 (aka the 360 killer as you call it) doing terrible? and what about LBP...that was also going to kill the 360 right? and what about MGS4...that was going to be the final nail in the coffin right?? OH BUT WAIT! once GTA:4 came out YOU said that the ps3 version would be SOO much better that the 360 would die!! I could go on for hours but i have a life, i suggest you get one as well. its not hard to do.

[earwax]

The huge boss battles were also cool. NOT worth $60 bucks so be warned, I have not played on line yet.

[REDZEV]

oh, but we love are POS3 IN the UK its the bestest console ever made and has the bestest games of any console. Honestly droids this shouldnt shock you.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

HAHAHA Nasim (((FLOP FLOP FLOP))) don't kill yourself.

[AngryTypingGuy]

Wow, lower ratings by virtually every publication AND lower sales. Yeah, a real Gears 2 killer, LOL. Gears 2 friggin' RULES!

[ravinshield]

everybody knew it was going to do the same as lbp.flop

[littleBIGfail]

making LBP levels to think of anything else !!!

[PirateThom]

Meanwhile, I'm adding it to my favourite games this year.

[littleBIGfail]

It is great next to Wii fit !!!

[DJ]

The guys that are head-over-heels with the sales figures for every title need to chill out though.

[Ghoul]

phew...

I'm glad im not the only one wondering why gamesales suddenly determin if a game is good or bad.

[Daishi]

Sales usually mean better sequels though, that's why people are concerned. If Perfect Dark Zero would have had great sales we would have already had a third game (not comparing the two in any way just giving an example).

[Omega4]

Its a shame a PS3 exclusive cant catch a break when in comes to scoring huge sales

Fair enough with LBP being a new IP and a niche title but Resistance is quite an established IP since it was a launch title not to mention a FPS, possible the most popular genre (COD:5 being a clear indication)

It really wouldnt surprise me if Killzone followed in its footsteps if not performing worse since i think Resistance 1 outsold the original Killzone but at least the hype is on its side

[TheColbertinator]

I want Insomniac to make a game on the 360.I bet its gonna be sweet

[HighDefinition]

Does anyone else find that comment as strange as I do?????

I swear, sometimes you don`t THINK before you speak.

[XXXCouture]

"Its a shame a PS3 exclusive cant catch a break when in comes to scoring huge sales " 4 mil for mgs4 aint huge? or 3.3 million for the original resistance

[Aclay]

@ Omega,

"It really wouldnt surprise me if Killzone followed in its footsteps if not performing worse since i think Resistance 1 outsold the original Killzone but at least the hype is on its side"

Killzone 1's sales in comparison to Resistance 1 sales is no indication of how well Killzone 2 will sell.

Metal Gear Solid 3 only sold a little over 3 million copies in it's lifetime on the PS2 and the PS2's installbase was huge. However, Metal Gear Solid 4 on the PS3 has sold more than MGS3 did in JUST 3-4 months on the PS3 with an installbase a LOT lower.

Killzone 1 was plagued with technical issues and that's probably why not as many picked up on it. Also, First Person Shooters weren't really that big on the PS2 as the Original Xbox. However, most PS3 owners are hardcore gamers and shooters is a very popular genre on the PS3.

I can almost guarantee that Killzone 2 will sell better and will sell faster than Resistance 2. Killzone 2 is a more realistic shooter like Call of Duty 4 with realistic guns while Resistance on the other hand is mostly the opposite and there's a lot of people that just don't play shooters that have a lot of unrealistic guns like Resistance.

I think that a lot of people got into the Resistance 2 Beta and might not have been blown away by it, and may have decided to just not buy it. On the other hand, the Killzone 2 Beta is blowing players away with the graphics alone and that's just one thing. Killzone 2 will do better in sales than Resistance 2 will and I have no doubt about it.

I have Resistance 2, but haven't got a chance to play it yet because I've just been addicted to Fallout 3.

PS3 games never sell the fastest, they sell over time and that's what counts to me. However, like I said above, I do think that Killzone 2 will sell MUCH faster than Resistance 2... Killzone 2 is WAY more anticipated than Resistance 2 is and I don't see why it won't.

[poopsack]

Hey socomnick, you just said their game was not very good, but now your telling them to make one on 360? Cause it would sell better, hmm so more sales make a game better? Oh well.

[Figboy]

your other accounts must be working overtime...

anyway, R2 just released in the UK, at a period where an asston of good games have come out.

on the 360 end, besides multi-plats like COD and Fallout 3, there hasn't been many other games on the 360 worth picking up, so i understand Gears 2's sales. the game has a gigantic fanbase.

i picked up Fable 2, but that's it.

Resistance: Fall of Man was almost universally BLASTED for not reinventing the FPS genre as we knew it.

because of that, the sequel has an uphill battle to face, despite it's quality. it truly IS an amazing game, single player AND multi-player, but so many people were quick to hop on the Fall of Man hate train, that it's taking them a bit longer to be convinced.

i mean, look at Killzone. that game was also critically blasted. the PSP version rocked, but still got largely ignored. the Killzone 2 beta has been INCREDIBLY fun, and is a huge improvement over the original Killzone, but there are STILL people that want to hold firm to their views because of the first title in the series.

like Ratchet and Clank Future and Uncharted, i think that Resistance 2 will have long legs, and new PS3 owners (of which i expect a nice amount of new PS3 owners this holiday season), will probably pick it up.

we've just been through one of the biggest game release schedules in recent years, and not everybody can buy the games they wanted.

i picked up Fable 2, Resistance 2, Little Big Planet, and Fallout 3.

i had to pass on Far Cry 2, Valkyria Chronicles, SOCOM: Confrontation, Dead Space, Motorstorm: PR, Mirror's Edge, Prince of Persia (which i MIGHT be able to pick up this week, but i doubt it; bills and rent to pay), and a few more i can't think of at the moment.

what i'm trying to say is, us gamers with a limited budget have some hard choices to make.

i traded in a sh*tload of games just to be able to pick up Fable 2, Resistance 2, LBP, and Fallout 3. i only own ONE Xbox 360 game (Fable 2), because i traded in the rest. it's been hard times.

things are better now, but i'm still not going to be able to get all the exclusives and multi-plats from the past two months. i still haven't picked up Tales of Vesperia on the 360 yet either.

i think a lot of you guys are getting too wrapped up in sales numbers, as if it proves ANYTHING in the long run.

while sales of titles most certainly decrease over time, not selling 1 million copies day one isn't a death knell.

look at Uncharted and Ratchet and Clank Future: TOD. they didn't sell a million during the first week, but have since moved on to selling 2 million and over 1.5 million respectively.

sales numbers do NOT equal a quality game.

some series burn bright at the start, then sales stagnate in the end. others sell at an even pace for the duration of their life on the shelves. *shrugs*

R2 is awesome, and i'm having a blast with it.

also, where's Gears 2 in that UK top ten?

you'd think there'd be an article about that too, but i guess not. it's only noteworthy when it's a PS3 exclusive, right? amiright?

[thebudgetgamer]

i guess that makes wii fit the greatest game ever

:)

[josh14399]

i work in blockbuster and we only got two copies in even though we advertised it loads. they sold out quick and we had loads of people asking for it. i dunno wot went wrong to be honest maybe they had a limited release. but to be honest who cares good games dont always sell well.

[360 man]

R U SERIOUZ

not good for sony

NOT GOOD

[ELite_Ghost]

HEY 360 FA.GBOYS! WHERE THE F IS FA.GS OF WAR??????????
HUH?????????????

WELL?????????

[littleBIGfail]

HAHAHA LOLz

http://vgchartz.com/swlaunc...

even with 10% or 20% error margin the PS3FailGang like to moan about on VGCharts it's still a double fail

[Fishy Fingers]

Lower than Id thought. COD5s been really successful though, more so than most expected. Not sure if people will want another FPS so soon. Either way, should do well over all. Come Feb though, they can pretty much kiss good bye to many more sales with Killzone releasing.

[RememberThe357]

Nothing beats dedicated servers. I am so tired of relying on other peoples Internet connections for a solid game.

I have yet to expierience any lag in R2 and I like it. At this point I don't see myself playing online with out dedicated servers.

How is COD:WW's online anyway? I don't have the best internet connection so i need it to be strong.

[pp]

Hahahhahaha FLOP i would be very surprised if theirs a Resistance 3 after this massive flop.

[PirateThom]

There better be, the way the game ends means if there's not I'm going to pay for them to make it myself.

[ELite_Ghost]

ITS BEEN 2 DAYS SINCE IT CAME OUT, CHILL CHINK!!!

[air1]

lmfao, 10th?

so why are ppl not buying these quality games?

hogan knows best sold better on dvd, lol..

[alexM]

check Gamezindustybix

http://www.gamesindustry.bi...

[borgome]

Lol, I love that show.

[caffman]

its in every game shop in the UK twat

[cannon03]

kk first of all i live in the u.k and resistance 2 has not come out in loads of stores yet its only been out a few stores because there's trouble with the shipping.

[PotNoodle]

I know this sounds like a typical fanboy thing to say but, aslong as they sell enough over time to earn a profit, enough profit for that developer to continue making the games then i'm alright, i get to continue playing the games.

[avonkalgon]

considering it came out friday this only reflects 2 days of sales guys, not a full week... so in only 2 days it made the top ten, not really a flop by any means, and if your a top 10 selling game, your not a flop, sorry to break it to you

[Blaze929]

if you get outsold by need for speed undercover!...something is wrong

[360 man]

yh but this aint just any game

r2 was getiing 9/10 and 10/10 across the board

hell this was the game on ps3 that was supposed to compete with gear.

AAA games are supposed to have people queing up and buying loads of copys on day 1.

same thing with lbp whether u ps3 fans wanna hear it or not, sony needs to sought this problem out.

to keep first party developers happy they need to be making money

[avonkalgon]

Blaze929,wow great job at reading! you win the reading award, NFS has had a full week of sales, resistance had 2 days.. might want to also brush up on you math skills as well

[Blaze929]

So you mean to tell me a game from EA that was getting 6s and below all across the board and completely sucks outsold a triple A title? 2 days vs 7 days, big whoop. R2 shouldve mopped the floor with all those games. Gears of war sold 2.1 mil day 1...just saying >_>...

maybe you should brush up on your logic skills?

[Danja]

as if ppl who are buying NFS every year actually reads reviews score before buying the game..

Pro-street sold millions across all platforms last year and it recieved alot of 6's also..

NFS Franchise is bigger than Resistance Franchise...and NFS was out for an entire week compared to R2 ..out for 2days...

[GWAVE]

Wow. How is 10th place disappointing? I don't see Fable II or Gears 2 anywhere on that list. Are those games "disappointing" too?

Sheesh. Media pundits will spin pretty much ANYTHING to rag on Sony.

[Chicken Chaser]

lol...could it be that Fable II was released a WHOLE month ago ..and Gears Topped those charts at number 1 when it came out ..weeks ago

[360 man]

problem with ur arguement is that u left out the fact that gears 2 and fable 2 debuted at number 1 with extremely high sales when they were released.

[ViceKingz]

and gears happened to only last one week, then cod5 just topped it the next week. and yet cod5 has been there for a while.

[360 man]

call of duty 5 is a multi platform game dont forget

[GWAVE]

And yet YOU all fail to recall that the game hasn't even arrived in most UK stores.

Troll harder, xbots.

[toccoaboy]

i rented this game first, to see if gameplay is ok, because im still enjoying the guitar hero world tour, will buy this before xmas.

[Gambit07]

This game was great, until I read this article, it didn't sell well?! OH man, this game sucks! I only play the over a mil on day one baby.

[Craig David]

Yeah Sh!te game, cant believe I paid full £35 for it from ASDA, Bad graphics and the multiplayer is just a spawn-fest, awful game.

[DJ]

You do not own this game. =P

[GiantEnemyCrab]

Sorry you got duped. My bro had the same thing happen to him with RFOM after all the hyped up talk about it. He didn't make the same mistake with the sequel. It seems to be a love it or hate it type game.

[Deadman64]

lmao it makes sense tho. 60 people online would be such a mess.

[ELite_Ghost]

Since ur never gonna play 60 players online b/c ur crapbox 360 can't even handle at least 34 players thanks to that piece of crap live u pay every year.
I must tell you, it's fun and u and ur crap console are missing out! too bad!!!!!

[sit down droid]

cough*frontlines fuel of war*cough cough*50 player online bigger maps*cough

[ViceKingz]

it just came out friday over there, how much did they expect to sell in 3 days?

[DJ]

=P I never imagined the day that being in the top ten charts after two days of sales equals "flop" for a PS3 title. Oh well, the haters will search for anything.

[Meus Renaissance]

Gutted. Motorstorm 2 isn't even on that list, damn

[jack who]

flop

[SWANN]

Just like your life, right Jack shyt?

[PeptoBismol]

no need to comment on other peoples' lives

just live your own

[lokiroo420]

Jack did your mom unhook her bra?

[sinny]

I don't care i love it.

[THC CELL]

that's what the credit crunch dose to u lol

anyway s xmas is round the corner and people are saving
also this game has not hit many stores in the uk

[farhsa2008]

you fools its been out 2 days only and it still made the top ten, this is actually good news.

[reckoner]

It was released 2 days ago, and many retailers haven't even received copies to sell.

[yoghurt]

Is this a JOKE? R2 has only been out a few days....?! why so much cr@p on this site I don't know.

[yoghurt]

"NEWSFLASH! Halo 5 has sold no copies yet, what a disappointing show from the once great halo franchise."

The above statement is just as valid as this stupid article.

[TheMART]

Yes its a flop

Flopperdaflop. PS3 fanboys said it would top Gears 2. Metacritic scores show otherwise.

[PS3_FANTASY]

FUC# YOU

[jack who]

when

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

Insomniac really deserve all of the money they make off of the games.

They are amazing developers.

Perhaps over time, but oh well.

How long ago was R2 released over in UK and EU?

[Meus Renaissance]

It seems to be covering the two days. Usually that's when games sell best, their launch period, and over the next few days or week - figures start to die away.

Look at LBP, it's 30th in the Chart and it's only been out less than two weeks.

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

Hmm I see. Then again, with all the releases this past week or so, I wouldn't expect it to do too well.

But an article that was just posted seems to cancel out this one, shippers having trouble or something along those lines?

[psiom]

Look at the story above this one.,

Retailers/distro dropped the ball.

[Information Minister]

Thanks for bringing that up. A didn't even realize it. This story got owned by the one above it!

[Mikey_Gee]

I played the first and the 2nd and neither really grabbed me like many other great titles out there.

I never did understand the hype behind it.

[air1]

oh god, you sony fanatics are something else. do you really think that 2 or 3 stores not having the game is a big difference?

you really think that the game would of jumped to 1st place if those 3 stores had the game? lol..

[Alain Reyes]

Shut up Anthony Otero before I come give you a beating!

And not the type you and your dad share on Friday nights with lube!

lolololol

[Information Minister]

NFS: undercover in the top 10?! I seriously can't understand my fellow gamers these days.

[Doctor Strange]

Once the game the hits all the retailers since many haven't gotten it yet for some reason and the fact that it only came out friday I'm sure it will go on to sell just fine. I think coming in at 10 with shortages is pretty good in my opinion.

[bomboclaat_gamer]

not even the PS3 fanboys buy games lol. all they do is come on n4g and talk sh!t

[InMyOpinion]

Seems like they are more interested in Blu-Ray movies.

[DJ]

Hmm. But it really doesn't matter. The UK chart is not only tracking all platforms (including the Nintendo DS), but grouping multiplatforms together. Look at Call of Duty, Tomb Raider, Fifa 09, Pro Evo Soccer, Guitar Hero, and Need for Speed.

Six miltiplats and four exclusives.

[InMyOpinion]

Resistance 2 and LBP combined haven't sold as much as Fable 2. Gears of War 2? 2 million on it's first day. Are you serious? lol! If Sony's games are doing as well as some of you want to think, how come they haven't reported any numbers yet?

[Inzipid]

... oh sh*t, I almost forgot, who gives a f**k about Europe.

[Information Minister]

Well... Unless I'm very much mistaken, Europe IS the biggest gaming market at the moment so I trully hope that developers give a f*** about us.

[Shoko]

Shame you the PS3 guys out there. How could they not support such an awesome game?

[testerg35]

Let me get this straight.. so PS3 fans think that selling a lot in the long haul is better than selling a lot in a short period of time? So Gears selling 5mil (or whatever crazy number it was) at $59.99 is the same as RFOM selling 1mil at $59.99, 2mil at $39.99, another 2mil at $19.99 (ok, I made up those numbers, but you get my point)??

[Blaze929]

rofl

[DJ]

Not just at a few titles. A platform could sell 10 million copies of two titles, yet still have low performance across the board.

As we saw with the Dreamcast and Gamecube, certain games end up being bought by the majority of platform owners simply because there isn't anything else to play.

[testerg35]

DJ, you couldn't be talking about the 360 considering games for the console seems to sell a lot.

[Information Minister]

I guess that's why developers make more money on the PS3.

[tatotiburon]

i feel sorry for the people of insomniac, so much talent, they choose the wrong system, if R2 was in xbox 360 it would sold millions in day one.

[XDF]

Can we please stop with this its only been released for 2-3 days. That sounds just like LBP and that game sold descent but not great. I think everone is saving their money for KZ2. Watch, that will be the next big catchphrase of the Sony worshippers. In America, both R2 and LBP are dead and with Blu Ray Player approching the $100.00 mark, it is due or die time for Sony. I just hope they'll somehow drop the price to $300.00 so they can sell more games. I think Blu Ray is hurting Sony more than it is helping IMO. It increases the price, people who bought the thing (I say about 1/2) just use it as a Blu Ray player instead of a gaming system. Now with the Stand alone players become more affordable, the PS3 will be selling less and less. That is just my theory, so U can agree or disagree.

[air1]

wow, look who came out from under a rock.

seems like you know me but still havnt steped up chump.

more like, i'll give you a beating, like i do to your mom/girlfrind every other night..

lol Europe gets screwed again by sony. Not enough copies even when Europe is the ps3's biggest install base LOL

yes, hilarious. I doubt Europe got screwed by sony. It's more likely that someone at a supplier made a mistake.

claiming flop when the game is just barely released where is gear2 and Fable anyways?.

[fakeplasticlung]

they came out weeks ago and gears 2 and fable 2 both debut at number one in the uk. if you wanna play that game then ask yourself wheres littlebigplanet on that list? get outclassed.

[dirtrider]

being played online by millions of people. this is a funny thread so i gotta say this...ps3 fanboys close your eyes and repeat after me...rrod....rrod......rrod say it enough times and you guys will start to feel better

[cmrbe]

didn't get a simultaneous release. There are reports that some shops haven't received their copy yet in UK where this chart is from. Only a couple of days sales in just one country and yet people are saying its a flop?. Fakeplastic who is the moron now?.

All is see in this thread are xbots that are having orgasm over nothing.

[Captain Tuttle]

[Optimus_Prime]

bomba in Japan, Bomba in Europe and soon to be revealed as a bomba also in America.

Sony can't catch a break this generation.

[dirtrider]

resistance one was an over all good/fun game. im more than confident this sequel is as well. ive said this before and ill say it again..the multiplayer in R1 rocked and im sure that the multiplayer in this sequel does as well. this article is jumping the gun quite a bit, and im sure in time the sales for this game will be impressive. i wish sony and insomniac games the best with this title. peace

[Slinger420]

I have personally purchased three copies of the game. First copy I sold because I was soooo caught up in GOW2 and Fallout 3 that I lost interest in it but once I realized I made a mistake, I had to buy it again. I also bought a copy for my cousin for Christmas. Between Resistance 2, LittleBigPlanet, and Metal Gear Solid 4, those are killer exclusives in my opinion and three huge reasons to own a PS3.

[ultimolu]

Well...glad I have the ignore button handy.

360 fans are the lowest of the low alright.

[cajuncandb]

You claim to know everything spouting SONY crap everywhere on these forums. Why is it that you the know it all of Next Gen gaming claimed in a post not long ago to still not have an HDTV and yet claim everything is graphically superior. How would you know. You have never sat in your own environment and enjoyed something in HD right. But hell you know it all. Sure you probably played at a friends house but that is hard to do when you have no friends isn't it.

Quote: The xBox 360 still can't even beat the Wii at it's lower price??? That's the BIGGEST FAIL EVER!!! ;-D

You post that crap all over the place failing to realize that the only competition for the Wii is the PS2 - ITS A LAST GEN CONSOLE with a motion controller gimmick. It isn't even true HD. So STOP COMPARING SALES of the WII to the Next Gen Console that is the Xbox 360. The only competing systems on the Next Gen HD Platform with full online experience right now are the PS3 and Xbox 360.

Lastly - stop getting yourself off to all this PS3 fanboy crap man - most everyone else has welcomed the console war due to the many things it has brought experience wise this generation. Sony continues to delay everything but shows promise of somethings down the road (chances are when its too late - but still)

You are probably the biggest smack talker on these forums calling everyone else out as a fanboy when it is really you who is confused. Every single AAA title you have bragged about (except for MGS4) has flopped this year and become nothing (esp not a AAA) - perhaps if you kept your mouth (hands) shut - then SONY would start getting a better rep - unlike you.

PEACE !

[lawgone]

...but I wonder how many have played it. I think the negative reviews are getting around and hurting sales. I only purchased it because I LOVED Resistance: Fall of Man. R2 is nothing like it though. There are some good reviews on Amazon.com that go in to detail but it basically boils down to the fact that the game has a very rushed feeling to it. The story is a mere afterthought. But even the game play isn't as good. Too bad...like I said, I love the first one and was hoping for more of the same.

The only exclusive for the 360 that is comparable to R2, LBP, and MGS4 is Gears of War. I own both systems and I think that sales don't affect me at all, it's all about the FUN FACTOR and HIGH DEFINITION EYE CANDY.

[monkpunk1]

I went to get this game like i did cod5 from asda and they had no stock. i asked the lady what the problem was and she said that they hadn't had any delivery of that game..... apparently uk entertainment didn't deliver it on release.... so i went to woolworths and they had none either due to the fact they are closing down (possibly) i managed to get my copy from tesco which was a 10min drive from where i live. Also my friend in holland said that sony had delayed it there as well....

Maybe nothing, but who knows..

[darkdoom3000]

ugh. its only been out 2 days.

I hate when people lable games flops when they dont sell high. like lbp- super awesome game...not so awesome sales (accoring to the net).

im still getting it

[tuneraider]

Don't. The co-op mode in R2 is a step back from the co-op in R1 in every way. Not only does it rehash the same maps THREE TIMES for each level, but it doesn't save P2's progress (so my mate has no unlockable weapon loadouts, while my P1 profile is totally supercharged, which makes balanced - i.e. fun - game play all but impossible). Even worse, it doesn't save your progress between the stages, so if you happen to die at or nearly the same time, you lose all your previous progress and start the level from scratch. Incredibly piss-poor design decisions that have me honestly asking myself if they play-tested the split-screen co-op mode AT ALL. If you're looking for a game to play through with a buddy, definitely skip this title and pick up CoD:W@W.

[PS360PCROCKS]

Their must of been a blu-ray release that week...

[she00win99]

sony should learn next time that they should release there games simultaneously around the world. the perfect example is mgs4, it sold over a million in it's 1st day..

[crystallakekiller]

i've finally got the game,and honestly,i'm disappointed,i'm only 1h30 into the game but so far i dont like it....i'm going to give it another try and i hope it will get good,so i will play it till the end but for now i dont even think i'll finish it!i was not a big fan of the first one and the way people talked about R2,it was suppose to be "THE" game of the year...well for me,for now,its closer to disappointement of the year!i just hope i'll change my mind playing it a little bit more!the first thing that i didnt like was the graphics,they are ok..nothing more,i was hoping for much more...and the gameplay so far is go from "A" to "B"...thats it!the one thing i find really good are the controls...i know many people will be mad that i say this about R2 but thats the reality for me,i'm not a fanboy..(i hate them)..i'm a gamer for many years now and i dont get people who defend a console over another,they are losers for me so i'm just saying when a game suck like R2 (for now) or games for the 360 or any other consoles out there!

[yeswecan84]

R2 was already imported =)

[Chrissy]

Bu bu bu bu............WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

Next bomba KZ2. 40 million bucks down the drain.

[rbluetank]

R2 is better then gears on a dev side of the things if not game sales.

R2 is a better game and has better Dev then Gears2. Gears2 might sell more but that "hits" is broke. The 360 and gears are like father and son. AKA Stanford and Son both are junk dealers with a high sale/flaws rate. i see junk and i am going to call it as it is!!

(Gears2) you can even play the online match you want or the rounds you want. you can play two at the less /five at the most and that is if you get online. you wait 20minutes to play five minute long match they did this to relieve server stress. it works because i do not even play this "hits" online anymore. i love gears1 online experience. this gears2 online is broke in alot of ways. i won't even talk about the glitches.

[GARBAGE LICKER]

Resistance 1 was good for a launch game. Resistance 2 is missing the best part in the first one (actual co-op). The multiplayer is amazing but the rest is mediocre at best and you guys know it. Its all just filler for Killzone 2 anyways

[die_fiend]

KZ2 better be be much better than this. Here's hoping the Killzone team realise that the first game was so poor and have scrapped anything to do with it. If they haven't, then this will be the best PS3 shooter available and that's a joke

[somekindofmike]

People need to just chill when it comes to sales,

I wouldn't care if nobody bought it, (apart from I'd feel sorry for the developers) I still plan to buy it, I just haven't right yet, it's coming up to christmas, so going to wait and see if santa gets this baby for me first, if not maybe then I'll loose faith in him and have to go buy it myself in the January sales.

[Condemnedman]

Because its not a great game thats why and there is alot of great games out there its a good game but not great

[Keowrath]

I was looking forward to it, loved the first one. One of the most enjoyable 2 player split screen FPS's I've ever played.

But that's what's killed the 2nd one for me. I'm not much of an online player, I would much rather play the game with friends sitting around the same TV. So even friday (release day in the UK) I was looking at the box (had no problems what so ever finding a copy) but the core aspect that made the first so enjoyable has been taken out/changed and that's why I didn't bother.

It's a real shame, I was really looking forward to it but now I'm not even sure I'll pick up a 2nd hand copy.

What is it with this generation? Why don't developers undestand there are still a few of us out there that actually enjoy other peoples company and would like to play games in the same room on the same machine?

[Mindsucker]

What there is a split screen co-op mode in resistance 2??

[chrisgay]

Yet again Sony have failed to market one of their biggest games- its an awesome system and an awesome game, I got it day 1, but Sony are destroying their franchises with zero marketing- oh except for Singstar Abba, seen a few ads for that (terrible ones, mind). This had the potential to sell at least half a million day 1, in my eyes. I hope it is the shortages, otherwise Sony better sort themselves out for KZ2.

[Shane Kim]

The game hasn't even been in EU for a week.

[gamfreak]

look at all the BOTS, hahahaha can't help but to laugh at them-(BOTS) for having a punie little brain.

@Shane Kim don't bother to tell them that, M$ has install a progarm inside their brain and whenever something bad happens to PS3 related news they-(BOTS) will jump out and bash SONY or the PS3. Hahaha, leave them alone. LMFAO.

[YouNoob]

that doesn't only apply to games. mediocre product = mediocre sales.
easy really.

[JonahFalcon]

Can. They. STOP. Listing. WiiPlay. As. A. Game?

Maybe Microsoft should bundle Pong HD with its extra wireless controllers so every controller that's sold can be counted as a game as well.

[Gazman1982]

Why are you xbots even talking about this game when you havent actually played it. It deserves more praise than the media are giving it.

[donnie-2105]

good game,good graphics actually prefer it to gearss2 and far cry2 and it has a great single player but do agree the co op is was a mistake

[Karum]

I'm loving R2. I'm not a huge shooter fan but this game seems to have rekindled or newly kindled a love for the genre.

LBP and Motorstorm Pacific R ift have taken a backseat to this game since I picked it up.

I haven't ventured into co-op or competitive MP yet, want to finish off the campaign first and pick up that sony bluetooth headset.

[Austin_SJ]

I witnessed the Wii play trap the other day, a poor guy was suckered into buying it when he asked for a control and the sales person said it's only 5 pounds extra for a game. I almost leapt over the counter to attack him. (although the tanks thing should be made into a full game)

[kodiak]

another flop for flopstation3
nothing out of normal

[Malacath]

It's been reported on various sites that that some shops like zavvi or smiths haven't received any stocks of resistance 2 yet due to their distributor being in administration.

I'm quite sure that if there were no supply problems then resistance would be far higher in the charts.

[tonywood]

Resistance 2 is a rally good game. However, it's NOT a triple A title. (I love Sony, but this is true) This game was hyped up to be "THAT" game, which really was not fair. R2 and KILLZONE2 should have switched places. It is KILLZONE2 that is the REAL system savior. (Hopefully)

I own this game and contrary to popular opinion, the single player campaign is really good. Online is sweet and this games has the "POP". However, it is no HALO 1, COD4, or GEARS 1 or 2. EVERYONE...especially the so-called gaming professionals (Game Informer mag., 1UP, CheatCC, GT, E.gaming mag., and gamespot) should not have done cover stories and gave out very generous previews/reviews. I say again, DON'T HAD OUT HIGH 9'S AND 10'S TO GAMES THAT DON'T DESERVE IT!

Didn't we learn anything from Haze, Lair, Mass Effect, Too Human, Peferct Dark Zero, the last three NBA live games, and the 1st Killzone, and 85% of the Nintendo Wii games? (Yea, I said it! Everyone knows that there are only a few excellent wii games. It sells because it's cheap and old people & women love it)

[Karum]

What do you mean games that don't deserve it?

You do realise t hat reviews are the opinion of that 1 person reviewing it and is not gospel and the defacto conclusion on how good the game is overall right? It is not supposed to be adopted as opinion for the masses.

In my opinion R2 is well worth the scores it got (although personally I don't care much for scores) along with the positive comments but at the same time GTA4 which got rave reviews and scores and sold well I really didn't like, despite being a HUGE GTA fan since the very first game.

People judging a game based on 2 days worth of sales in ONE COUNTRY is absolutely retarded. Especially in a country in which some major retailers have been unable to get their hands on any stock of said game.

[sly777]

...am disappointed in first week sales of R2 in the USA. I was hoping for at least 750K.

One can argue that there are way too many games out there right now compete with than when RFOM was out but on the flipside a lot more PS3s are out there too. But when I talk to some folks with PS3s, they say they use it mostly to watch movies. That really sucks as there are some pretty awesome games out for it.

** All the XBOX fans should understand that YES the XBOX is more popular of a game machine right now but it by no means is more powerfull. It will probably take most of PS3s lifetime to catch up and overtake the 360.

R2 was also short and to me it seemed to be missing something? Maybe the vehicles. Also, the Leviathon battle was kinda short and seemed somewhat underwhelming. Graphics are good but not jawdropping. They do look better when you watch someone else play, this way you can pay attention to more of the detail.

I bought the collectors edition cuz I loved RFOM and the whole chimera story. I did expect more than what I got but do understand that Insomniac was trying to get this game out on time. Also, the multiplayer was better than I expected.

Still, I will buy R3 and can hardly wait for it.

XBOX fans are missing out on a gem of a series, too bad.

peace

[hadouken007]

look at the list R2 is no.10 while gears 2 is no.17 but R2 is a flop?

[captainjy]

Gears 2 has sold over 3 million, probably near 5 million by end of year. Business as usual for Xbox....

[fakeplasticlung]

gears 2 debuted at number one u uneducated fool so yes resistance 2 is a straight up sales flop and an 8.6 on metacritic finishes off the floppage. get outclassed.

[user9422077]

Are you guys actually serious?

UK gamers do not know about these exclusives, they only care about big multi platform games such as call of duty thus leading to cod5 being first, the only people who knows about these games are the people who really know games.

[captainjy]

Seems to be the going trend for Phony. Disappointing Bluray sales, disappointing title sales, smacked around by RROD console and the list goes on.

[lamigol]

Asda and other retailers have had a breakdown with their particular suppliers. I had this confirmed by Asda. Anyway, by the by. I have R2 and think its a solid, engaging single player game. The multiplayer however is where this game shines. I would rank it better than COD WAW. Love it... There are always a plethora of full 60 player games. So what if its not no. 1 in the charts, you can argue all day long about suppliers, marketing, people not supporting ps3, what a joke, ridiculous btw. I buy games that I like to play, their are always enough people playing to get a full experience so I dont care that its sold x amount less than cooking mama or some other bullshit game.

[Blink_44]

Every Ps3 owner should buy this.

[donalbane]

The first one sold well because there were slim pickins at launch. It was a good launch game, but compared to other shooters on the market, it's a mediocre game with great alternate firing weapons... that's about the best you can say of it. The sequel is pretty much more of the same. It feels soulless, and I never really feel like I care about the context of the action. I do enjoy the alt-fire for the weapons, though.

[kosovo]

dumb!
