Kombo TGS 2008: Resistance 2 Preview

Montrealien - 431 days 19 hours ago

Kombo have a right to their Opinion, even though I don;t agree with them. No need to be name calling in the gamer zone. RE2 is a day one purchase for me no matter what.

So you don't agree with their opinion, that's fair. No need to get all mad about it, just don't go to their site. I don't agree with their overly harsh preview, I am a firm believer that preview should be closer to overviews of what they played, but I wont get all mad about it. I didn'y even go to the site, it is clear flamebate. And as stated in a comment below, they do praise LBP and Motorstorm 2, where they Idiots then?

look at their preview of other exclusives ninja blade and SO4.
Look at their statement in this R2 preview with this quote "The graphics are of Halo 3 standard at their very best and of Halo 2 at their worst".

Think. Don't blindly defend. Acting like this is much more irritating than a fanboy. At least they are honest about their feelings, whereas some others act all righteous in this site to mask their true crappy selves. Shame! And i say again - idiots

I can't believe you are going to sit there and make this quote. "They all look gorgeous which proves that the pictures released are not bullshots unlike what Epic does." Seriously you have the completely backwards. And IMO i have always thought with the videos i have seen RES 2 is average at best in the graphics department. But that is my opinion and please don't get mad and call me an idiot cause i have a opinion.

it was a loaded article...without question...

the guy's opinion is fine...no one is saying the game is poised to set any visual standards (after all, killzone 2 is set to do that in spades)...its set to be an incredible jump in tech from the first game, of which it has easily done visually and gameplay wise...

but his comparison to Halo 3 is such a blatant attempt at fueling arguments between fanboys its pathetic...then to have the author go into his own comment section and start calling everyone 'idiots' is beyond ridiculous...

we've seen the videos of the exact level he is talking about...it is a huge improvement over the first one...and the first Resistance was easily as good looking as Halo 3...which is not a compliment to either game...they both lacked in major areas (resistance in lighting...halo 3 in character models...and both in animation)...I haven't seen enough up close looks at the particle effects, but do admit they weren't anything spectacular (as mentioned before, Killzone 2 is making every game look like pile in that area...so its a tough playing field right now)...

again...its not the best looking game...but to say its halo 2 at times is just blatant hit-seeking journalism on every level...all the credible media sources have said it looks great compared to the first, which is all fans of the series are worried about...

ted price said (in an interview a couple weeks ago) that they aren't trying to create "realism" in the games they make. i wasn't aware realism = good looking game?

"I am a big fan of the storyline"

"From the trailers, I gather the game is set in Iceland."

He says he's a HUGE fan and loves the story - if he' a huge fan loves the story, why does he NOT know where the game takes place? Everyone knows the story starts off where the last game ended! He thinks the game is set in Iceland but most of the trailers we've all seen show the city and forest. If he loves the story and has seen the trailers, then why does he not know where the game takes place?

"The graphics are of Halo 3 standard at their very best and of Halo 2 at their worst."

We've seen tons of IN-GAME footage and GAMEPLAY and all of them look better than Halo 3's best cutscene, so to say R2's best graphics are only as good as standard Halo 3 is absurd.

"Followed him to find a gang of five aliens"

He LOVES the story but doesn't know the name 'Chimera'? If he's doing a preview he should be giving INFORMATION about the game, not calling an important character-set by the generic name 'aliens'.

HIS OPENING STATEMENT -

"There was a long wait time to play Resistance 2, which unfortunately turned out to be WASTED TIME. I liked the original and am a big fan of the storyline and concept but my first impressions of number 2 are NOT GOOD."

HIS CLOSING STATEMENT-

"The game feels SOLID"
"The gameplay in single player mode is ENJOYABLE enough, if not especially INNOVATIVE."
"The single player is BLAND."

In the opening he says its sucks, then in the closing he says it's "innovative" and then in the next sentence of the closing he says it's "bland"

WTH?! He contradicts himself the WHOLE ARTICLE!

It seems to me that he did NOT actually even play the game and that this whole article is made up!

The Game does start off in Iceland

Other than that, The preview is his opinion and if someone can praise a game in a preview, then someone else should be able to do the opposite. Still a day 1 for me and no preview/review (aka someone else's opinion) is going to change my mind.

Good analysis there bud. This article decided that R2 had to be downplayed before they started writing. The contradictions is just wildly stupid...

It is strange that the style the article was written. Not about reviewing R2 - from the start it was clear that it is a R2 bashing - in the opening statement. Not the "Let us find out how it plays" - straight into "it is a waste of time". Asif the author was afraid that he would not get the message through.

Everyone knows the game STARTS off in Iceland

The writer says the GAME TAKES PLACE in iceland from the trailers he's seen.

Starting off and taking place are two different things. He probably just saw the trailer in Iceland at the end of resistance 1 and made up this phony article about that. Most of the stuff he said sound like Resistance 1 so I don't doubt that's true!

1up, Ign and even Joystick have all said Resistance 2's graphics are incredible. I've played the damn Multiplayer and it's better looking than Halo 3's sp, experience. Resistance 2's graphics are much better than the 1st, which was about on par with Halo3's.

I'm just speaking in absolutes and facts, as I always do.

Well, one thing it has is a vast amount of weapons you can choose from. Also, huge bosses.

Omega4 - 431 days 17 hours ago

Most FPS have loads of weapons to choose from in fact i think Crysis actually allows you to customize your weapons so that isnt too unique

As for huge bosses Halo 3 your had to take down scarabs which were pretty big, and what i've seen so far with that huge boss in R2 looks mostly scripted which isnt fun or innovative

This story is obviously a ploy to get more hit on their website! It's like that article from a few weeks ago that reviewed 'PURE' and the from the title of the story, it sounded like the review was going to compare PURE to MotorStorm: PR. But it did NOT so it was reported and removed.

This is either an incredibly obvious ploy to get hits or just blind fanboyism.

REPORT!

Kombo have an opinion, which I think is a littleharsh for a preview. I'll be checking out the beta also, however I' m fairly confident I'll be geting the game eitherway, me and my friends are suckers for co-op, we even did Haze a few time, and it was a blast.
