What can Resistance 3 do to make up for Resistance 2's failures? (TheGamingLiberty.com)

GWAVE - 41 days 1 hour ago

I know that most people preferred R1:FoM over R2, but personally, I loved R2. I loved the huge battles and the hordes of enemies.

But anyway...good article. Insomniac tends to get a lot of grief for their games because they're either "too much like the previous game" or "not enough like the previous game", but all of their games are a blast to play.

Weapon wheel. Bring back the gloom and doom color palette from the 1st one. Bring the old multiplayer back from the 1st one. Narrator please. Change it up like the 1st on where you didn't have to always shoot. Bigger isn't always badder. Before, R2 was released, there was already complaints about it from hardcore players in the beta. More innovative weapons that Insomniac are known for.

Listen to your fans, Not the critics who want generic gameplay like any other shooter out there.

Ignore R1's and R2's stupid xbot reviews and let insomniac od what they do best, MAKE GREAT GAMES.

Look at the flaws from R2 now compare them with R1's review complaint, R2 fixed what was 'wrong' with R1 and now everyone is complaining.

Maybe R2 was just too original.... who knows that's a problem with the PS3 being to original and not relying on a certain 1 or 2 games.

+amazing graphics and add much more intesity

OFF TOPIC:

I donno you may disagree with me but I think that if IW and insomniac teamed up,I think they would make the greatest fps ever,just think about it,I know it's a fantasy

Imagine the tons of pure epicness that will happen,insomniac work for ideas,aliens,the shooting mechanics(the detiction in R is better than in cod),bosses,types of weapons,lasers,shredders,zombi es etc and IW work for intensity\perfect pacing\unforgettable set pieces,online\perks\streaks,60 fps,smooth as butter controles with perfect aiming,the awesome feeling of firing a gun,animation,voiceovers and sound track

I want them to MIX

what do you guys think

They can make Resistance 3 a 5 hour campaign using the same old outdated engine from the last one and pack in the exact same Resistance 2 multi player and then people will respect it.

For R3 just make the story like R1 with the British lady and mysterious feel. Also the multiplayer should be like R1 with weapon wheel,no power up bs,etc. The R2 co-op can stay because that is very fun. Other than that just improve from what i said by adding a lot more weapons that are innovative,matches,stats,etc

Bring back the Widowmaker and the Weapon Wheel...

Oh, and the really cool guidance on the LAARK from the first one. The one that froze it in midair.

i personally think r2 was better than r1.. it just felt like u wer part of somthing bigger, bigger battles and such, the only letdown for me was the graphics and the AI. Besides that, everything was great :) .
For R3 i ask for a huge graphic upgrade and AI upgrade. Also make multiplayer even more rewarding and add more DLC, i know IG makes games every year so after like 2 months of release they are basically done with the game they just released... but yea my 2 cents

Anyone notice the quality of the chimera actually look crappy compared to R1 versions? They look worse in details and overall look too skinny and not nearly as cool as the R1 versions.

they should lose the orange contrast, weapon wheel should return, and they should add more weapons, and more variation for multiplayer, 4 player split screen in widescreen online, health bar but similar to like Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, etc.

1. campaign co-op
2. MUCH better graphics
3. likable characters (again, R2 was missing these and had 'military stereotypes' instead)
4. weapon wheel which R1 adapted from R&C anyway
5. a real feeling of transformation in areas the Chimera have invaded (I found that the 'cold and snow' from R1 was reminiscent of the Red Weed from War of the Worlds)
6. Bring back the health meter. I preferred the health bar with the strategy of recharging an almost depleted section in R1 than just hiding around the corner and being 'alright' again that was in R2.
7. Don't be CoD/Halo when it isn't needed
8. Vehicle sections (the parts in R1 were brilliant fun with a friend)
9. Take the invasion to 'small places' again, the chilling feeling of villages and ports in England being invaded in R1 formed a kind of tinted nostalgia
10. Keep the radio signals from R2 in R3, those were excellently chilling
11. Don't bring the narration in again. Anyone who mentions that needs to come back is a total hypocrite. The majority of the people wanted that OUT of R1, after it got removed people, myself included didn't like it, the narrative needs an inbetween point.
12. Real skirmishes like in R1 where you ducked from plasma mines and normal mines, completing one of these sections made you feel like being involved in a little D-Day

I liked both of the Resistance games. But with all the added features of R2(coop, online split screen, and new weapons) I was not surprised by the way most websites knocked this game cause it was one of the BIG games last year. my only grip with R2 was the Titan battle that was just a run threw points instead of actually having strategy.

Bring back the Weapons wheel and allow people to have multiple weapons of the same caliber in multi-player. Maybe also add in more of a map variety for the Coop.

I personally loved both FoM and 2. But they do need to bring back the health system form FoM, love getting health pack. I personally like the two weapon system. Also make it a little more dark both in setting and story. Oh, and use the Killzone 2 engine for it. :D

Bring back the online Lobby system from one, honestly its the best, text chat before games, In-game buddy list, clan support, now i can't remember if R2 has this but i don't think so.
But really one had the best lobby system ever, in-game achievments should be brought and in-game unlockables. Make the game less futuristic as it is now, it would be weird to see it go down a notch in tech, but i don't want to see it turn into a halo game. Also bring back a narrator, i like the cut scenes also but some how implement it in. Not so every scene is like that but from time to time have a voice
Get Killzone 2 devs to help, get permission to use there engine. Also bring back 1 health system. Make maps more like one also, im not digging the futuristic style it has. And man idk y but toward the end of 2, wen your like god, that would be sweet if they made a game like that lol. Felt like it was an open world style with those powers.

Oh and weapon wheel,that was the best, when i played 2 i was like wtf where the weapon wheel. Bring back classic maps also from one and 2.

they bash Resistance? a game by INSOMNIAC, one of the hardest working, talented developers in the industry.

FACT: Resistance: Fall of Man was a GREAT launch title. and even to this day, it is still a unique, quality FPS in the face of so many "me too" war FPS titles. the alternate history setting and unique weapons give it it's identity.

FACT: Resistance 2 was a GREAT sequel. it expanded on the original premise by making the visuals better, the controls tighter, the Multi-player more involved, and the single player campaign larger in scale to match the growing threat of the Chimeran invasion. the alternate history setting and unique weapons were still there, so yes, even Resistance 2, despite it's visual changes, still had it's identity.

it's a fact that Europe looks NOTHING like the United States. especially in the 1950's which Resistance 2 takes place in.

i wasn't surprised that R2 looked different from R1 when, geographically, they are in two totally different locales with vastly different cultures and styles.

the game still felt like Resistance to me, just GRANDER.

how is that a bad thing? and what is with this wave of Insomniac hate all of a sudden?? it's like they're afraid that Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time will continue Insomniac's trend of releasing a quality game a year that they are trying to tarnish Resistance 2.

yes, Resistance 2 disappointed some fans, but it most certainly did not disappoint ALL of them. and, last i checked, it's impossible to please everyone all of the time, or even some of the time, so to somehow deduce that Resistance 2 is on the same level as truly medicore games like Turok, Blacksite, Conflict: Denied Ops, Frontlines: Fuel of War, and Legendary: The Box is just outright foolish, and an insult to what Insomniac has done this generation.

having been a relatively long time follower of their work, i see how they've grown and matured as a game developer, and truly believed that this would be the generation that they got their due, but as far as the internet is concerned, until they make a 360 game, they won't be allowed to ascend along the ranks of developers that don't try NEARLY as hard to create quality gameplay and worlds/characters, and yet they receive more praise than Insomniac.

it's an absolute shame.

we are constantly b*tching about mediocre games, and yet when truly talented developers create work, fanboyism, bias, and sour grapes lead us to tear them apart.

FACT: Bungie, Bioware, Lionhead, Kojima Productions, Sucker Punch, Insomniac, Naughty Dog, etc make GREAT games. they are amazingly talented developers. it doesn't matter WHAT platform they decide to support, their games are always quality. it's time we started acting like gamers and giving credit where it's due instead of hating on genuinely talented developers to the point where we'll start seeing less games like Resistance 2 and more games like Conflict: Denied Ops because the talented developers will have gone extinct because of the gaming media's insistence on fueling fanboy flamewars and shaping public opinion about their preferred console because they have an axe to grind with another gaming console.

it's PATHETIC. this generation is one of the saddest generations of gaming i've ever experienced when it comes to the behavior of the gaming community (specifically the fanboys and the gaming media). it's despicable.

i thought the online in resistance 1 was much more enjoyable than R2. R2 just seemed like a Cluster f***k. the boss battles were amazing though in R2 and just the scale in some scenes were incrediable.

Ravage27 - 40 days 17 hours ago

The only thing i didn't like about R2 was the way the story was told, the campaign bosses were a bit lame esp. the final boss, and lastly, the setting is too sci-fi for my liking(oh god please don't let resistance turn into halo).

Everything else is pretty solid, 60 player team deathmatch is an absolute blast esp. when playing splitscreen with my bro. All they need to do for the next sequel is to tighten up the story telling,bring back the weapon wheel for SP, tone down on the bright colours, lose the sci-fi thingy altogether and lastly MORE COOP PLEASE :D

I didn't think 'R2' was a failure really. Was a good game. I think they should just do 1 more (R3:The Rise of Man) and then do something New;)

The xBox 360 is a failure!!! ;-D
