Resistance 'Sniper' gameplay

New Resistance footage. New levels and weapons.

[D R Fz]

That was Amazing. The environments were unbelievable and the gameplay was breath-taking. I hope the online play is nothing short of an excellent online experience.

[D R Fz]

I sure wish that there was as many ps3 fans on this website as there are 360. It just seems that so many ps3 haters come to this site to reak havoc on the ps3 fans. It was one of the reasons i decided to become a member, so that i could help balance things out a bit and rightfully defend the ps3. But until the tangible truth comes out on nov. 17, the 360 fans will continue to bash any good news about the ps3.

[Deceased]

nothing New!

[ORIELKILLER]

was the action fast or what ... the game looks like nothing new to me too .. but the weapons and the fast non stoping action ... is something that i liked about this game

[Scythesean]

But to me it's pretty dam close, I must say for a launch title that is badaa$. I haven't seen anything that looks this sweet out yet. I'm not comparing this to GOW because it's not a TPS but this looks better then any other FPS that I've seen.

[ASSASSYN 36o]

I am curious what was the rectangle mesh wall that kept showing up...why were the bushes 2D in a 50 gb game...and are their any vehicles? And what on-line play? The one with 40 players...that they have yet to show almost less than a month away.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

I am not hear to totally bash this game, because I certainly think it looks fun enough...but I just don't see where all the hype is coming from over this game. It reminds me completely of Call of Duty 2 just substitute Nazi's for Aliens and give some different weapons. As for the enviornments...they were nice, and definitely showed some nice detail...but I just wasn't awe struck like so many other people seem to be.

I hope I am wrong...I hope this game turns out to be great and that what I have seen is not what the whole game is like. I really want to like this game, cause it was one of my reasons to contemplate getting a PS3.

[Arkham]

That was a shield weapon that's been mentioned as being one of the alien-tech weapons you can use.

[achira]

this game is fantastic, i want to play it so much!

[D3acon]

The rectangle was his shields. The game looks great and the environment seems to have some great interaction in the game.

[ASSASSYN 36o]

It was a logical question I was simply curious.

[Oncnawan]

edit
Looks like someone beat me to the answer.
/edit

The "mesh wall" is a shield that is derived from the secondary fire of one of the weapons. That particular weapon can shoot through objects, including its own shield. That is the foundation for the strategy shown in the video: put up a shield with secondary fire and hide behind it while shooting through it at the enemy. What I don't understand is why the player kept strafing and dodging when protected by the shield.

I like some of the weapons in the game, but a couple of things bothered me. 1. The character took frequent damage without going down - the gameplay is very run and gun. I think the fast gameplay would be better served if there were SOME accountability for being shot. 2. Not much vertical variety to the levels shown - mostly corridor fighting with an occasional open space.

That said, I like some of the guns - secondary fire always makes for interesting play. I won't be getting it, though, as I don't plan on purchasing a PS3. For the PS3 buyers, though, I hope it is a worthy FPS.

[ASSASSYN 36o]

Good luck with this though sony guys. I was only curious about some details being this game is getting attention. I just see a lot of Duke Nukem gameplay in there...so er aaaa Good luck with that right der.

[bizzy12]

it looks boring for all that play call of duty 3 with out the alians and the fureristics guns.the graphics dosent look all that and the smoke grenades dident do nothing.and where is the tanks and planes to help out with them big spider looking things not no little gun supose to drop somrthing that big.

[Arkham]

. <-- Here's a period. . <-- and a spare

[SEAN1617]

I though the game play was amazing, even the big spider ememy at the end kept trying to shield his face behind the wall, also I really cant judge the level desing because those where all clips "edited" so i would have to question you on that " Not much vertical variety to the levels shown - mostly corridor fighting with an occasional open space." but yes he does look a bit powerful, much like if you play halo on normal or novice, but change it to hero or legendary and you're dead. so i am sure it's just a matter of what level of hardness you want to play.

[DT Crisis315]

the game looks ok but 4 600$ no

[Tut]

If you purchase a gaming console for ONE game you are, in fact, an idiot by my standards. If there was a game that single-handedly convinced every single gamer to purchase that console then the world of gaming would be intensely different.

Be more closed-minded please, it helps everyone.

I do not plan on purchasing this particular game because I don't like this genre. I think the closest thing I last played to that was the original SOCOM and even that was far different than this game. Regardless, it looks good but not enough substance yet to sell me.

[icdedppl]

i think what needs to be done with this title is see it as a LAUNCH game, and compare it to past fps launch games.

let's take the xbox 360 for example. the "fps launch game" for the x360 was perfect dark. it was ok, but hardly a breakthrough title and many do not consider it to be a solid launch game because it wasn't very polished.

for ps3, we have resistance. gfx look better & game play looks better than pd and it's a LAUNCH game. i think all this shows is that there is alot more to come for the ps3. granted, this won't be a "halo killer", but given the limited time and resourses, it at least looks to be a solid launch title and it will certainly sell well.

[eques judicii]

um... pdz was not the app that everyone bough... that would be call of duty 2....

And with halo 2 working really well on 360 no one needed anything else yet (no competing systems yet) now they have gears of war which will be the most sought after game this christmas (besides zelda)

[icdedppl]

wow, i guess i should have said "fps launch game, exlusive to the system". cod2 was a port...

[testerg35]

Don't get me wrong.. I plan on getting a PS3 sometime in the future, but this games seemed just ok. Enemies kinda looked boring. I think Lost Planet for 360 looked more impressive.

[icdedppl]

this is my point. sure, you can say lost planet looks better. it's a second gen x360 game! lost planet will make me buy a x360, but you need to be more objective to the fact that risistance is a launch game for ps3 and not a game or system that has had time to mature. time will tell...

[DT Crisis315]

fact that risistance is a launch game for ps3 and not a game or system that has had time to mature. time will tell... bs ps3 is bs and now we no

[icdedppl]

wow, now *there* is a well said, ojective response.

[zypher]

you seem to be new around these parts. let me be the first to welcome you with a sound opinion: objectivity is a concept that is NOT known on this site. you will find a few of us who prefer to share our opinions in a respectful, constructive manner; but thats a slim (i'm talking maybe 3%) few. me, andy capps, DJ (sometimes), outlaw, and a few other PS3 and 360 fans. but for the most part objectivity is met with cynicism, criticism and plain'ol immature biasness from fanboys. for my part: welcome aboard.

[icdedppl]

thanks for the welcome! and i'm not really new to the site, i just don't post comments often. i've been coming back here to this post, just to see what kind of responeses there are. as you mentioned, not much in the way of constructive or factual rebuttals =(

[DT Crisis315]

300 yes 600 no lol

[Gamer13]

But it does look good, MGS have got the weapons that i like.

I like these type which will blow you away.

MGS is bs 2 u will see

[TheMART]

I must say, like I did before: the game looks good.

BUT and bash me for it, it's just that way, this looks something like COD2 and BF2 mixed and then aliens added.

It looks nice but nothing special AAA

[SEAN1617]

Please you guys are just so full of fluff, Perfect dark sucked, singal player and multi, that was the first damn game i got for my 360 and blew, i ended up playing halo2 on the damn thing for like 6 months, Also there is a $499 version of the ps3 with hdmi so shut-up with all the $600 crap, and i pray to god that GOW will be good because i am about to blow up my 360, and all it's damn attachments, it's almost as bad as the sega genesis with sega cd and the 32x ohh god.

[andy capps]

Looking nice, can't wait to get this. The parts using the shield for the Auger weapon were great.

[Funky Town_TX]

Looks like they are trying to find a way to match COD3. I don't know if I like the plot of the game. What did they do with 22 gigs. I don't see it. I mean lots of hype for a game that looks like a 7 at best. Flat ground textures, no lighting effects, or good shadowing. Can't wait for killzone PS3. 22 gigs wasted. COD3 on dvd9 kills this game.

[TheSadTruth]

after reading everything about this game I thought it was going to be amazing but watching this vid it just looks like cod 2 with alien weapons o.o.. what's all the hype for? something I am missing>?

[zypher]

as i've said before, i'm DEFINATELY getting this game. yes, its hard not to compare it to COD; but it offers enough of its own flavor to stand as a solid title all its own. will it redefine the fps genre? probably not; but it does seem to meld all the genre's quality ingredients into a solid, enjoyable compilation.

[shoota33]

This game blows COD 3 out of the water.

[drewdrakes]

Looks good, and none of these count as launch titles. Launch was 6 months ago, this is launch plus 6 months, the extended time due to delay. Technically this will be at launch, but the 360 games would have been a lot better with an extra 6 months.

P.S. PDZ online was good

[Marriot VP]

It looks good but still I wouldn't pay 60 bucks for this game on either platform. It just doesn't offer me excitement after playing cod2. It's the same as COD3 with the same graphics and gameplay.

I would rather play COD3, but still I probably won't buy COD3 at launch just cause it's been done and looks to be an upgrade from cod2. Why I'd rather play cod3 is because it's realistic and you can actually imagine this battle going on. Vehicles and 24 multiplayer is also very important.

But anyways the whole 22gb thing is a joke. It's a market pitch, and this game doesn't look as good as others in less than half the space their using.

[Optimus Prime]

yea this game looks very good. lots of action. very cool enviorments. nice looking game.

[DJ]

It doesn't have any resemblance to Call of Duty 3, and has a graphical edge on top of that. I'm amazed that certain people are still angry that Insomniac (as well as many other devs) are taking full advantage of the hardware they were given. 300 MB per level (after compression) times 40 levels; that equals 12 GB of compressed data just for levels, and doesn't include the programming, sound, scripting, animation, etc. And this was something like two months ago.

Supposedly the game's going to be 35GB when it's finished so I imagine there's going to be even more whining from the 360 crowd.

Every gameplay video I've seen of Resistance has showcased enormous environments with a scope I've never even seen before, on top of the lack of loading screens and dozens of allies/enemies at once. Gears on the other hand seems to have a loading screen every two minutes. Sony's decision to go with Blu-ray was obviously a necessary one.

[drewdrakes]

Actually, 40 levels at 300 MB is 11.71875 GB, nice math. Also, the data that blu-ray can hold doesnt really count towards hardware. No one is mad, theyre just saying its unnecessary. The fact that what you said doesnt include programming, sound, etc doesnt really matter, because you just listed what takes up most space, textures. Sony's decision to go with blu-ray wasnt bad, but it wasnt entirely good either, you would have had your PS3 6 months ago, and digital distribution is the way of the future, so in a few years, even if we need that space, we can just download it to the hard-drive. The hard-drives would also be faster then any disc technology you can make.

[D R Fz]

I couldn't have said it better myself. And drew, when dj said 12 gigs, he gave a rough estimate which was actually a very good one if you didnt know because 11.7 rounds of to what? 12 gigs. And sure we could have used the hard drive, but why should we put so much stress on the hard drive when it could fit on blu-ray. Leave the downloading to extra content and upgrades that the disk could not handle. Leave that to consoles that still run dvd9. Rather than downloading stuff that could have fit on the blu-ray, i'll be downloading more useful content thanks to the ps3.

[HyperBear]

I dont know where you went to school, but last time i did math 40x300 on my calculator it gave me 12000MB as a result. and now there are 1000 MB = 1GB. So that is 12GB that DJ said was right on the money. But yea, I agree with the other half you said, It is great that they put a next-gen disc drive in there for games and movies, which is about 50% of the reason why im buying it. But yea, its not really needed in gaming right now. But just the fact that they can get Blu-Ray and the Cell to work properly and give great results like RFOM, is amasing and thats the other 50% of why im getting a PS3, GAMES.

[Deceased]

Big deal about dozens of people on screen, have you played ninety nine nights? Anyway, RFOm does look like a COD3/3 hybrid with aliens. It is nothing new, when you shoot the ground or buildings nothing happens, no damage at all. Low rez textures, 2D bushes, etc... This games is hardly next-gen I guess the 256mb of video ram is catching up to the PS3 already.

BTW the 22gb controversy screams marketing ploy, nothing else, if their game is going to be 35gb I could think of a few ways they could have used the space better, like higher rez textures and better A.I. and when you get shot 200 times you finally die.

[HyperBear]

Nice post from a person with only 3 bubbles. Well it doesnt take a rocket scientist to know that ur a fanboy of im guessing the 360 side, cause you put down a good game for PS3 and you say all this crap about how its all just a marketing ploy. And then in ur 1st sentence you say something about N3, whos final game ranking score was just over the Bomberman Zero game, which got like 1/10. And you obv. havent seen all of the vids. cause actually everything in the game is destructible. You shoot at a balcony, it falls apart, you shoot glass, it breaks into shards, you shoot at buildings, and wood and w/e its made out of cuts into the building. And one more thing, Their Ai like theyve said haqs been programmed in a way of animalistic features. So like you have the so called grunts and they just ruin out there and most likely die. But then you get all these bigger and weirder creatures and they'll know when to attack, take cover and all that stuff. And even tho that is still only 85% complete, the textures were very clear and crisp to me, plus that video had bad taping to begin with(like youtube, its fuzzy). And They have been using cheats in the game so they cannot die when doing a in-game video tape. So more then likely youll die within about 5-10 shots, like COD2. But you wouldnt know all of this, cause you are a fanboy who just takes one look at it and says, oh its crap, without even taking a look at other in-game videos. WAY TO GO 3 BUBBLE MAN.

[Deceased]

You are an idiot! I wasn't comparing the gameplay ranking of RFOM vs. 99 nights. I was simply stating that a crappy game like 99 nights has lots of enemies on screen, THATS IT. I personally didn't see a fully destructable world, dude was shooting a wall and it didn't even leave a mark. And yes i am a fanboy, because sony is nothing but a big dildo, they just hype it up, hype it up, only to screw you over in the end. Smae thing with blu-ray, HD-DVD still kicks its a$$, Sony has had plenty of time to get their movie titles on par with HD-DVD, but they can't, HD-DVD just had superior engineers. RFOM is nothing new or innovative, it doesn't look any better than this game that can fit onto a cd, all created through procedural synthesis. So the 22 or 35gb which ever it is, is straight horse sh!t, anyone with alot of computer knowledge knows this. And I for one have alot of network and programming knowledge, I know how compression algorithms work, i wrote a couple myself. RFOM is Call of Duty 2 quality at best, and definitely not a killer app unless you own sony consoles and are used to 99% utter crap.

[HyperBear]

KK, i can see you guys comparing RFOM to COD2, cause COD2 was the best game on 360 for months. But for some of you to compare it to COD3, i really dont know. For one thing, COD3 is made by Treyarch, who really disappointed us with COD: Finest Hour, that game blowed. and Why is this game not being made by Infinity Ward. I would then say that COD3 blows the hell out of RFOM, but just because of Treyarch, and i havent been a fan of their graphics and gameplay, over Insomniac and Infinity Ward, I would have to choose COD2 and RFOM over COD3. Havent you guys seen COD3, it looks okay, but the gameplay is really lame and slow compared to the fast paced COD2. But this is the way id put it in math:
COD3 < RFOM < COD2 :Which mathematically means
that RFOM beats COD3, but
COD2 beats RFOM. Still, I
Would rather have COD2 and
RFOM for my 360 and PS3
over COD3 anyday o'the week

Now am I being a little too judgemental because a I havent really seen anything from COD3 wise. Like cause Ive played RFOM at TGS, and I have COD2 and play it about 3hrs. day on XBL., yea maybe, but im just thinking of the quailty of the game that Treyarch has broughten us before, and its crap, and really i dont see anything different in COD3 compared to COD: Finest Hour. I dunno, but RFOM isnt that bad of a game, and 1 i will be getting on PS3 launch, but i will most likely be playing COD2 over RFOM, until i get used to RFOM and know what its all about.

[THAMMER1]

The game dose not scream killer app. but it is a good looking game. At least people can say it is a next gen game. I think I would like this as much as I liked Perfect dark 0.

[bilal]

but not AAA...

i think it would be somewhere between PDZero and Halo 2 quality wise.....
plz dont start comparing halo 2 graphics with it.... i meant gameplay fun factor...
its just that ps fans havnt had their share of xbox/ xbox360 fpses therefore this game is more hyped than what it actually is.....
we are touchy on fpses remember killzone.....

[SPAWN]

It does have a pd0 gameplay engine look to it also.

[DISCIPLE111]

I love the slomotion capability

[SPAWN]

I definately don`t see killer app but the game does look ok. But why am I getting the feeling of call of duty 2 mixed with aliens? This game looks as if it`s mixed with the monsters from Doom 3!

[Grown Folks Talk]

looks like it could be fun, but i don't see what the hub bub is about. i don't see this revolutionary gameplay people keep talking about. slow mo was done on max payne years ago. return to castle wolfenstein among others has the ww2 military vs aliens mix. graphically it looks to me from the video like a semi cel shaded call of duty 2. might look better actually seeing it running on my lcd instead of this feed. and before achira or some other super sony fan decides to talk sh*t about me, i've never said gears of war is going to be the greatest either since any time someone downplays resistence you like to bring up gears even though they are different types of games. looks(graphically) good, but i've never played it, and the gameplay looks like it could still use some tweaks.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

I am pretty confident this game is gonna be a fun fast twitch shooter. Just has that feel from the video, which isn't exactly for me but I would play this, probably would be a rent first for me though.

Anyway one thing I did notice, on the alien grunts animations. There seems to be just one kind of wound animation where they drop to their knee...and it appears its the same knee for all of them no matter where you hit them. This is only when you wound them...death animations seem to use a rag doll type physic. It might just be me...but did anyone else notice that?

[HyperBear]

To get a feeling of what is going through my mind, please read my comments (#16 and 16.2), on this.
http://www.news4gamers.com/...

It may tell all of you what ive been trying to tell ppl, and it just doesnt get through their heads.

[TheMART]

So if even Sony fan's say this isn't a real special game anymore, like not a real AAA exclusive, what remains this Christmas to buy a PS3 for?

Just a fair question. And yes I've seen Motorstorm. And no, I don't think it looks like the CGI from E3 2005. And yup I think that game will only be fun for 10 minutes.

So what then. What's out there this Christmas worth buying? I thought Resistance, but really after the footage, it's COD3 on top if you'd ask me.

I was more excited about this game some weeks or months ago

[ASTAROTH]

The game looks amazing. Fanatics please, dont compare it to PDZero. Resistance its a league above that SH!T. LOL!!

[THELANDSOFSAND]

it is above PDZ, but its at COD2 level.

give me gears!

[DJ]

and Resistance is definitely a major step above that game.

[THELANDSOFSAND]

dude, i have COD2 too and these shots are struggling to best it

[uuuunvnv2]

i honestly dont think it looks all that great. it has good level design but the graphics of the aliens and the guy that you control(gun and hand) look like crap. i know its a launch game and it is on a low quality cam. but i dont see where all the hype is comming from. to me it just makes the PS3 look worce bc this is the hype game and i dont see it. sorry to those this ticks off, but its my opinion

[Phenom19]

is it true that this game gets paused when you switch weapons? and if it is true is it somthing very noticeable or something that wont make a difference?

[Retard]

Yeah, graphically I don't think it'll compete to the newer Xbox 360 games. But the weapons, gameplay level layout, co-op, multiplayer will pick off where it lacks in other areas.

I still think this game will be very mpressive, I'll get it and I'll tell you if it sucks TheMART.

COD3 looks like the same boring sh*t, with little added to it.

Gears, and UT2007 all the way.

[BigBoiSexyMuscles]

Wow that gameplay looked awsome. All of you Xbox fanboys say, O thats not that great" but you guys know it looks awsome. O ya and retard thats only two games that you could name Gears and URT2006, so go ahead name some more for me besides HALO 3

[Retard]

UT2007 = PlayStation 3

Gears Of War = Third Person Shooter

So... that wouldn't be the wise thing to say GOW will be a FPS killer.

I think GOW should look better they've have alot more time with X360, so yeah... 2 competely differnt gamestyles.

[specialguest]

what is up with all of you who uses the OVERUSED line of "this game is not worth $600". what is this? mimic the dumby before you? hey! you don't buy a console only for one single game. if you do, then you're an idiot.

[HyperBear]

But its mainly the Xbox Fanboys who keep saying, Its not wroth 600 bucks. Ppl like you and me and a few others are getting it for a variety of games(Plural, means more than one), not just 1 game that Xbox Fanboys always assume. I 100% TOTALLY agree there. Im giving you s star for that one.

[crystallakekiller]

wow! this game looks boring as hell! shoot stupid aliens,advance,shoot stupid aliens...repeat the last 2 steps! and if anyone is impressed by the graphics, well....good for you because this game is nothing more then ok...im really not impress! i hope the ps3 will have far better games in the future...i know its a launch game but they keep saying its the HALO killer!!...come on!!!!!i know they want to sell the game but dont say stupid things like that...they think people are stupid or what?! resistance will be at best an ok game,nothing more!

[FKN Unbelievable]

I love the Way the action is flowing but some of the guns look bogus like a Mofo. i seems the only gun im interested in is the Gun that shoots the Green Triple shots at Mach speed. The others guns (Alien types)i can't see the buller Type it shoots and they all shot at the same speed. Each gun looks the same basically with different color gunsparks and the look like the odd gun out shotgun since it takes kinda long to reload.(I guess since it like 1940 but the game seems futuristic so i got caught up.)
Graphically it looks ok not Next-gen (Please take a look the screenshots http://media.xbox.ign.com/m... when EA'S Black for xbox has as the same amount if not more action and better explosions ( http://media.xbox.ign.com/m... i though they would pull out the stops since COD3, GOW and Lost Planet are coming but they did'nt.
So In Lehman's Terms This game is a Least a Over Developed PS2 Title. (Sh1t even Black for PS2 Looks on par with this.)

[jib]

aside from the graphics, i don't see what the hype is about. i think i would have liked this game a little better if it had some realism to it. the dude was forever sidestepping and getting hit by a bagillion bullets in the process. no need to take cover if you're that tough i guess.

[FeralPhoenix]

I don't think its smart for anybody to buy a console for ONE game....yeah of course some games are called system sellers but I think thats used as more of a figure of speech than a actual literal statement that someone would purchase the system for that ONE game alone....in other words GOW has been labeled that way because whether its like it or not, the fact is many people are excited about GOW....which is a heavy INFLUENCE for buying a 360, but of course you are expecting to buy other great games in the future.

In my humble opinion I would say RFOM looks like a good launch game, it looks like it will be fun to play, but its just not quite a AAA blockbuster yet in my opinion. I think the first problem why this game might be getting a little more scrutiny is because they touted 22+gigs and while thats not a bad thing, quite honestly I think its not showing anything special for all those gigs---but I have to admit thats kind not really fair reason to critisize the game. I think the second problem might be because it does remind me of a little more of an update of COD2 with Aliens and "gadget" weapons.....seriously thats the impression I get, and maybe thats why some are knocking it, but I think its really hard to find your own identity in the FPS genre these days...there have been so many great ones and some that sucked too....so we'll see, but I'll go out on a limb and say it will definitely be better than Perfect Dark 0 from what I've seen so far.

[zonetrooper5]

This game is looking good for a first gen PS3 game but it does not beat the 2nd Gen Xbox 360 games. Motorstorm is the only first gen PS3 game i would buy, as it looks so much more fun than this game which is call of duty 3 with same graphics, it does nothing special to try and improve the genre, this will be a fun game but i would pay £425 for one game unless its motorstorm but i'm wating until end of next year or in 2008 as the shortages will continue until end of 2007 for europe as Sony did p1ss me off with that crap as they could of gave europe 100k from the USA launch.
