As you can see from that recent video, and what Insomniac have already mentioned, that demo is from a several months old build, so of course it's going to have improvements made by September.

And I think one of the main draws (at least for me) is how drab some of the environments look and feel. It completely adds to the atmosphere and that, along with the story, is one of the defining features of the Resistance series. It really emphasises the "All hope is lost" vibe. I'm expecting a great game!

stevenhiggster4690d ago

Honestly when I saw the demo at E3 I thought it looked awesome! I don't understand some people today!?

HateFanboys4689d ago (Edited 4689d ago )

Who the hell thinks this game doesnt look good? Fanboys and haters!? Fuck them! Game looks good as shit to me. Im impressed!

Im getting it

MaxXAttaxX4689d ago (Edited 4689d ago )

Exactly.

@units
Were those taken out of context from the 9 month old demo? And are those video captures? Because I see some seriously heavy compression on those pics.
Definitely doesn't look like the actual game in motion.

With your rep, units, you're not fooling anyone. Sorry.

Army_of_Darkness4689d ago

Come on people!! Units is only messing with us for shit and giggles man! Haha! Riiiiiiight units?

pixelsword4689d ago

How is it that if someone complains, they're a "fan"?

NiKK_4194686d ago

@HateFanboys shit looks good? just playin, but i thought the trailer looked really fuckin good, i don't see who would be complaining

Lack of AA is the only real let down. Nobody like jaggies.

Active Reload4690d ago

There could be other ways to get rid of jaggies they may be using besides AA.

Thrillhouse4690d ago

Hopefully they can implement MLAA.

kaveti66164690d ago

From the screens above I must say the jaggies are very noticeable in the demo build.

HateFanboys4689d ago Show
gamingdroid4689d ago

Wow! I really noticed the jaggies too.

Games don't tend to look so much different between sequels on the same platform, but they really need to fix the jaggies. I'm surprised at how visible and distracted by that.

Maybe there is a difference in-game, since I normally don't notice stuff like that.

I dont know why people r disagreeing with u...Im a huge ps3 fan but i have to admit R3 graphics is nothing to b hyped up for..It looks like ur average FPS....I loved R1 but i hated R2....Any way i think i will pass on this game, I will rather buy COD MW3 and BF3.

xPhearR3dx4690d ago

That's because the words "Average graphics" and "PS3 exclusive" don't mix well with fanboys. Hell, some people are still trying to say new Twisted Metal has good graphics. When in reality, it looks pretty crappy. That doesn't mean the game will suck, but some people tend to think so anyway for what ever stupid reason.

Washington-Capitals4690d ago (Edited 4690d ago )

this is n4g, where ps3 fanboys self proclaim all exclusives before they release to be the best games ever made. I dont see how Resistance 3 is different from the FPS pack, yet i dont see any hate comments about it being "generic" "rehash" etc like you see for CoD and Halo and if they are, the person will be flagged as trolling or get millions of disagrees.

M-A-R-S-H-A-L-L4689d ago

Maybe some people need to stop trolling and act like their age instead of searching for ways to put down games they have no interest in.

50Terabytespersec4690d ago (Edited 4690d ago )

"UNITS" is a damn moron who spends too much time trying to make himself seem more and more MISinformed!!
Thank you for proving that Wii gamers still froth over PS3 games or are you a Xbox360 PCbudget gamer mad cause PC graphics moved on past 360 4 years ago????

RememberThe3574690d ago

Those jaggies do suck but the game looked great in motion. I didn't even notice it until now.

theonlylolking4690d ago

Why are you using low quality pics?

No AA is not that big of a deal for me since the tv I use on the PS3 auto blurs edges which makes a no AA game looks like it has some.

Shikoro4690d ago

Just so you know, any kind of image processing effects that TVs are doing increase response time. If you want your controls to respond faster, use the Game mode or something similar which gives you the fastest movement and the least input lag. :)

DanSolo4689d ago

@ Shikoro

lol I didn't know that!
I will have to have a look on the settings of my TV and see if it makes a difference!

subtenko4690d ago

Resistance 3 looks better than COD thats for sure. Plays better too.

Ju4690d ago (Edited 4690d ago )

I don't even believe these a real shots. Non of the videos showed jaggies like those. Not even R2 has AA problems like those shots. This can have various reason. One is obviously those shots are taken from a moving source, or over saturated off screen shots, low res shots, old version or what ever. Troll somewhere else.

InTheZoneAC4690d ago

R2 online you could clearly see jaggies on every shot. It's sad when the rounds come out look like the Sun from super mario bros 3

M-A-R-S-H-A-L-L4689d ago

Blatant trolling and unit's comment stays.

Just wow.

Shogun Master4689d ago

Or you can just look at this and see that even in a demo stage Resistance 3 still looks awesome and I'm sure will improve in the final version.

Jdub895O4689d ago (Edited 4689d ago )

damn i like your sarcasm units! Great pics!

You know i have to admit though the E3 demo wasnt satisfying but i know this game will be hella fun.Resistance 1 was the better imo.

Nitrowolf24689d ago

Thank you for posting the ugliest resolution shots for the game. It does not look that bad

blackz0014689d ago

Fact is that the boat demo doesnt look good. In my opinion Resistance 2 has a better graphic like the DEMO! I was really dissapointing about this.
I hope the MP is gonna to be more like Resi FOM!

pixelsword4689d ago

@ units:

You fail.

Again.

Resistance 3 will be one awesome game!

blackburn104690d ago

Yawn. Just the usual post graphics b***hing we go through every time a Sony exclusive is released. And when we actually play the final game it's just fine.It gets tedious to say the least

Gambit074690d ago

I'm playing the 1st Resistance now and having a good time, that's all that matters.

redDevil874690d ago (Edited 4690d ago )

So i don't matter to you now? You only care about resistance 1?

Don't talk to me no more!

WANNAGETHIGH4690d ago

@redDevil87...How u enjoying our 19th title while looserpool is still talking about past glory..lol :)

jdfoster004690d ago

EFC FOR PREMIER LEAGUE 2011. ENOUGH SAID! hahaha =)

cant believe you scumbags got young, lol only messin, hope he does well for yous, quality player.

i_like_ff74690d ago

With the exception of lack of AA i like the visuals better than killzone 3 :/

Resistance 3 is such a great game. One of my all time bests.

cooperdnizzle668d ago

Couldn’t agree more. Still love It as a shooter to this day.

Just something about that game. I really wish they would just do a remaster, don’t even need a remake just bring it up to todays out put, touch up a few things if any, and I am there to buy it day one.

Of course I would love a remake built from the ground up. As long as they treated it like Shadow of the Colossus, or close to those type of remake. Wouldn’t want it to get the RE treatment…. Just because the game is already paced so perfect and hits all the right beats that I wouldn’t touch that aspect.

Ranking the Resistance Games From Worst To Best

While it's been on ice for as long as it was around, the Resistance franchise has no shortage of quality.

My take:

Single player
3, 2, 1

Multiplayer
3, 1, 2

Overall
3, 2, 1

I beat the lengthy single player in 1 multiple times and spent hours in the online too. Plus 1 featured my home town! Special mention to the audio design in 1: playing that with surround headphones blew me away.

Note: I have the platinum for Resistance 2.

Eidolon725d ago

Resistance 1 MP will always be my favorite. Call it nostalgia or whatever, but that was my jam, felt more balance, natural.

Miraak82 725d ago

i have the platinium too , 10k kills in online ranked matches was no joke . Took me 3-4 months straight grinding but it was fun . To put it in perspective you only got like 25 kills per match if you were 1st place every match that's at Least 400 matches in 1st

Sciurus_vulgaris726d ago

I only played the 3 main Resistance titles. My ranking would be;
1. Resistance 3
2. Resistance: Fall of Man
3. Resistance 2

GoodGuy09726d ago

Man I loved 3's campaign. Another gem stuck on the ps3 and who knows if insomniac will go back to the franchise.

fr0sty725d ago

Resistance, Warhawk, MAG, Motorstorm, there's so many first party gems on PS3 that Sony has just left to die...

P_Bomb726d ago

Never played Burning Skies but I still have Retribution.

monkey602725d ago

Burning Skies was about 3 hours long and rather inconsequential. You haven't missed anything

porkChop725d ago

Honestly, Burning Skies was shit. There's no two ways about it. At first I thought it looked terrible, then I second guessed myself. Big mistake.

darthv72724d ago

Retribution has this really cool feature where you could use a PS3 to link a controller to it and play. So if you had a 2000 or 3000 hooked to a tv, you can use a real controller. All of this predates the PSP Go's ability to sync a sixaxis to it via bluetooth.

Yui_Suzumiya725d ago

Resistance 3 was shocking and brilliant. Loved it.

Why Resistance Was So Incredible

While the studio is best known for Spyro the Dragon, Ratchet, and Clank, and Spider-Man back on the PS3 the studio broke from creating platformers and made one of the highest regarded science-fiction first-person shooters of all time. This was Resistance and it remains one of Sony's most acclaimed and dormant franchises.

Jin_Sakai1082d ago

Really wish Insomniac would bring back Resistance!

darthv721081d ago

Agreed. Until they do a new entry, I'd love to get the two portable games remade into console versions. Maybe in a nice compilation with the mainline titles.

monkey6021081d ago

Burning Skies wasn't a great game.
It was only a couple of hours long and there was nothing memorable about it.

I'd love a new entry

darthv721081d ago

^monkey, hence why it should be remade into a better version.

SullysCigar1082d ago

Resistance 3's campaign was gorgeous for the time - and an awesome game to boot.

monkey6021081d ago

I remember being put off by it because McHale wasn't the MC but it turned out to be my favourite campaign

CBaoth1081d ago

by and large though the Resistance IP featured many protagonists (4 altogether I think if you include the portables). One of the reasons I enjoyed it was not being shackled to individual story arcs. Very rare for a major franchise.

Army_of_Darkness1080d ago

My favorite resistance game as well! It seriously had creepy, scary a$$ moments bro! It made me want an action horror game from insomniac!

Mr_cheese1081d ago

Remember playing this through online co op with the move controller and gun attachment! What a game!

BlackIceJoe1081d ago

I've said in the past I'd like to see this series return and have it take place years later, like in the present.

I'll give you an example if I'm not mistaken the last game ended in the 50s, so if it was to take place some time in the 2020s you'd have an opportunity to see how the world changed after the fall of Chimera and all the new technology that came out of that war.

Just like in our universe we all know WW2 happened, but we never experienced it, so if the next Resistance game takes place years later so too would people in that universe know a war look place against the Chimera, they just wouldn't know what it really was like.

So getting to see how that universe would respond to the Chimera reemerging would be interesting.

Imagine a little kid talking with his grandfather about the war and the kid just thinks it was just a made up bed time horror story and what was said was worse than what really took place, but now that the Chimera come back the kid will find out why years later the old timer adults were still waiting for the Chimera to return.

I think there is great potential for this series still and I really believe the best way forward for Resistance is make it have a time jump too.

So hopefully this series will return.

Dragonopolis1081d ago

Great Idea. I'd play that version.

Resistance was a great game and of all the remasters.... I would play a great remastered version of resistance series as well

waverider1081d ago

I was blown away when i played for the first time Resistance on the PS3. Great Game. Also liked very much an played for hundred of hours the Co-op of R2. The SP campaign of R3 is also excelent. I really hope that Sony and Insomniac annouced the Remaster of the Series and a new chapter. They got story to do that.

Jambola121081d ago

Resistance 2 was one of the first few games i played on ps3 and I loved it, would definitely finish that again :D

Chevalier1081d ago

I loved all the Resistance games. But part 2 online was amazing. The Marksmen for the Spec Ops type class when it was fully upgraded was such an amazing weapon. Oh man I wish they release all the games again and let us play part 2 online again.
