It sucks to pay for qore but as long as they keep getting these exclusives, people will keep getting it. I hope there is no catch like in socom where qore beta users have to wait for some time or some crap like that

chasegamez6180d ago

im in
$3 for a beta give it 2 me
thats better that buying a game i dont want
(crack down)
lol

AlterEgo6180d ago

I read that the quickest and most sure way to get into the beta was thru pre-ordering the game.

Due to that, I won't be picking up the next issue of Qore.

sonarus6180d ago

Yea that was for Socom. Not so sure about qore. For me, i was going to preorder anyway. But gamepro was supposed to be doing something for the beta. I doubt mere pre order will get you into the beta. I was going to pre order anyway so which ever way i am covered.

Lifendz6180d ago

It sucks to pay to play games online at all. Qore is optional. And it's not like it's...say...60 bucks a year or something along those lines. For a paltry 2.99 you can get the episode and the beta. If the beta sold for 2.99 in the stores you wouldn't complain. I tell ya, Sony gave us PSN for free and no one seems to appreciate it.

rroded6180d ago

nice so glad i got the membership lol

wish they'd release a bit earlier for us members so we dont have to deal with the server load so much tho.

Playstation Man6180d ago

Glad I paid for the full year. By the way, has the SOCOM Beta started? I haven't checked in ages!

AlterEgo6180d ago (Edited 6180d ago )

straight from an Insomniac Games developer himself (one of them)

http://www.neogaf.com/forum...

^^^ That's James Stevenson.

He posted that a short while ago, and then this:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum...

You can google him...or go to the Playstation Blog and find numerous posts from him there...

He just happens to also be a member of NeoGAF ;-D

Not sure why I got all those disagrees earlier lmao but hey...I don't care. The writing's on the wall!

sonarus6180d ago

Hmmm. Well i'll wait for beta details before pre ordering.

gambare6180d ago

Just like Naruto, I'll wait for the demo.

AlterEgo6180d ago

Nah, I feel you. I'm not running out and pre-ordering either...but mostly because I don't pre-order games AND I think I'm gonna be shipped off (military) before the game comes out.

In other news...in regards to a Limited Edition, he says: "Stay Tuned"

morganfell6180d ago

Yeah the writing is on the wall and it says Qore is a great buy. I have no doubt the guy is from Insomniac and legit. However, what he says does not negate the fact that the beta is a side and sure benefit of Qore along with other betas and some great material.

Also it is very likely he doesn't fully understand the Qore situation and the Sony designs and as such his info may not be exactly accurate. A lead designer or even a producer doesn't often have insight to publisher plans and designs.

UnasFortuna6180d ago

I don't really care if it is a slightly delayed beta start (ie: socom). It is an "easy in" (guaranteed). I signed up for the full Qore membership and don't regret it one bit. But for games like this... will be preordering so I don't have to wait in line and can just go into my store and pick up my copy without worrying if my store will have a copy. This will be a major game and I for one, can't wait.

morganfell6180d ago (Edited 6180d ago )

Not only that but since I already have the game preordered, I will take that second beta invite and give it to one of my new friends that just wised up, sold his Xbox 360 and bought a PS3.

And I preorder games. Why? I buy a lot of games. A lot. At the moment I have 19 PS3 preorders and 1 PS2 preorder (got love that 60GB with a 320GB drive). I had Too Human preodered but the demo stunk so badly I cancelled. When they lock a date down on Halo wars I will preorder that then.

I know I am getting the games anyway and I plan things out. Also it gives me the ability to do things at my local Gamestop with a phone call I could never do if I were not a customer that spends thousands of dollars a year in that store. Whether that is getting multiple Wiis held for me, or discounts it is all the same and a benefit of preordering something I am going to get anyway.

Tarasque6179d ago

Don't get me started on that bs of Golly geez live is 40 buck's a year blah, blah, blah sh1t. You paid 300 more dollar's for the machine also, you also had to go buy a Hdcable, you also had to buy a controller with forcefeedback, you also had to buy a headset, or how about 40 buck's for a demo. Would you people really get off that sh1t. Haven't you seen all the xbox fan's say they dont care to pay i don't mind paying little over 3 dollar's a month. Which intern i get what qore is on live for free. At least i am guarenteed to play with somebody online unlike the PSN service. As i stated about not being able to find a tekken online match when i first got the game.

marinelife96179d ago

The magazine itself is okay but if my subscription gets me into

Socom Beta
Resistance Beta
Killzone Beta
MAG Beta

then it will be worth the $25

:(

IM NOT PAYIN FOR NUFFIN!!! but man.. tempting...

Drekken6180d ago

socom beta was tempting too. They took my cash and I never heard a word about it. Sooo I dont know about this one, even though I trust insomniac more.

Megaton6180d ago

Hoping to get a free invite for being a G.A.P member.

ChanDangle6180d ago

Been a G.A.P. member for 3 years and haven't been invited to squat.

Megaton6180d ago

You didn't even get the Metal Gear Online Beta invite? I thought all G.A.P members got that.

BulletToothtony6180d ago

if you don't have your ps3 registered they will assume that you don't own a ps3... pretty much everyone that i have asked that has been the problem..

I would double check if i was you.. I mean.. sony doesn't know if you bought a ps3 or not otherwise right.

Megaton6180d ago

Mine is registered. As far as I know, HOME Closed Beta is the only thing right now that requires registration. I got the MGO invite before I registered my PS3.

UnasFortuna6180d ago

I have been a member for a very, very long time and I have never gotten a game invite. If it wasn't for the Gamestop preorders, I would never have gotten on the MGO beta.

Megaton6180d ago (Edited 6180d ago )

That's strange. The afternoon they went out, the forums were flooded with threads about it. Seemed like pretty much everyone got one.

ATLRoAcH6180d ago

I'm a G.A.P. member with all my hardware registered and the "My Games" section fully updated. I got the T-Shirt and all that. I have never received a beta invite. Not even the MGO one.

Already have an annual subscription so I'm there!

Many people knock it but it's entertaining and I enjoy it.

Video Game Franchises in Danger of Being Forgotten

The gaming industry moves at such a pace that it’s not surprising we’ve seen countless franchises fall into obscurity over the years.

S2Killinit227d ago

Im surprised that a game with a heritage of Medal of Honor is in this list.

cthulhucultist227d ago

There is a rumour that Driver 1 & 2 remasters will be released for Switch and presumably for other systems as well.

https://www.gamingbible.com...

Not sure however whether this results into new games in the near future.

HellspawnPR1981227d ago

Ninja Gaiden? Splinter Cell? Tenchu? Virtua Fighter? Killer Instinct? Killzone?

DefenderOfDoom2227d ago

I would very much enjoy
a new dedicated single player Killzone campaign. With a fun multi-player.

cthulhucultist227d ago

Tenchu and Killer Instict would be great indeed!

Unfortunately new Killzone game does not seem to be in the works

Virtua Fighter is going to receive a new entry!

https://www.dualshockers.co...

Splinter Cell is likely to be one of the remasters launching next year (not sure whether this has to do anything with the remake previously announced)

https://toronto.ubisoft.com...

HellspawnPR1981227d ago

Yeah, read the news about a new Virtua Fighter and I am so ready for it. Splinter Cell at this point I don't believe anything Ubisoft says plus I don't think modern day Ubisoft can make a decent stealth game. They will likely fuck it up.

Inverno227d ago

Basically everything at this point as companies have no concern with preservation.

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.

Knushwood Butt1150d ago

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.

Eidolon1148d ago

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

Miraak82 1148d 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_vulgaris1150d ago

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

GoodGuy091150d ago

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

fr0sty1148d ago

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

P_Bomb1149d ago

Never played Burning Skies but I still have Retribution.

monkey6021149d ago

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

porkChop1148d 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.

darthv721148d 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_Suzumiya1149d 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_Sakai1505d ago

Really wish Insomniac would bring back Resistance!

darthv721504d 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.

monkey6021504d 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

darthv721504d ago

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

SullysCigar1505d ago

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

monkey6021504d ago

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

CBaoth1504d 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_Darkness1504d 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_cheese1504d ago

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

BlackIceJoe1505d 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.

Dragonopolis1504d 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

waverider1504d 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.

Jambola121504d ago

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

Chevalier1504d 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.
