Resistance Fall Of Man Evolution : Alien(s) To Chimera

SKOAR! " We've all seen the Chimera strain evolve past three games now, those big glowing eyes coupled with the terrifying teeth eventually made a huge impact on the Sony community. We dug up the initial sketches (by Wes Louie who worked on the project) for the Chimera who resembled H.R. Giger's dark alien concepts."

[Nice]

fine..these look more cyberpunkish...

[28121986]

but those look cool nonetheless..wonder if XXXX shall return?

[Panthers]

What needs to return is the Widowmaker. My favorite enemy from the first game just disappeared.

Still, cant wait for the next game. I loved the ending to R2 and am very excited to see what comes next.

[OmarJA]

One of my best games of all time, too bad the campaign in the second wasn't as good as the first one but still fun.

[Maddens Raiders]

I agree with everything you said. The widowmakers and gray jacks were a couple of my favorites from RFOM - and yes the ending to R2 is so fkn cool. I loved playing throught R2 as much as I did R1. I still think about certain battles/situations in each, which is the true mark of a great game. Can't wait for R3.

"Forgive me sir..."

[ThanatosDMC]

Well, it's no surprise after all he stopped relying on gun at the end. But damn, was that a planet???

[10000]

its always labeled as a poor man Gears of War and the second one was not even half as buggy as Gow

[Nice]

the game changed a lot in the second season, thats what caused all the problems....Have you played the first game though?

[Gue1]

For some reason I liked both but if I had to chose then it would be the first... I want the third to be more like the first than the second.

[cryymoar]

i cant see how anyone with a pea-sized brain could call that a "poor man's GeOW" when it's more expensive to play.

[ShinMaster]

What does Resistance have to do with Gears at all???

Resistance is a First-person shooter. Gears is a cover based third-person shooter.

They're 2 different games. They were released around the same time frame and are 'human vs aliens'games but that is about it.

[82211986]

compared to the second, even the story was more intense in the first...

[28121986]

with you on that one though I love the entire series feels a bit fresh than the monotonous Alien shooters set in the future...

[BLuKhaos]

I take it you two are the same person?

[Giriath]

R1 definitely had the better single-player. The competitive multiplayer is much down to preference, I prefered the first's less arcadey gameplay, but the berserks and skirmish in R2 were good additions. R2's co-op was however very original and pretty well designed.

R2 was veeery ambitious and it got rushed to go up against the less ambitious GeoW 2. I have very high hopes for Resistance 3.

[Nice]

I think "it" shall will serve as a huge setback if "it" does not will probably have superpowers now...

[28121986]

back and the narrator from the first game...wonder why they decided to omit that...I also feel they might just tie the PSP protagonist somehow with the third game

[himdeel]

...it kind of wouldn't have made sense to have her doing the same narration in the second game. Remember that she was for the most part recounting her personal interactions, second hand stories, and rumors about Nathan Hales actions in Europe.

Also since Nathan was a rounded up for the "secret" project/organization it stands to reason she wouldn't have any knowledge about his whereabouts after he disappeared from Europe. Finally the story is there in R2 but you have to deliberately go after it and find it throughout the campaign via itel, reading it for yourself. Unfortunately a lot of people didn't seem to appreciate this approach to telling the story.

The way the 2nd game ended they could do some crazy stuff with the 3rd game.

[mastiffchild]

Posh English narrive girl was a miss for me as well in R2-which is a game that gets routinely knocked but I found just as much fun as any other FPS/shooter of this gen so far.

The huge online battles and co-op are done very well and if they can integrate more of a sidestory into it next time it would be nigh on perfect for me. Did find myself missing the womans dulcets on the second game and see plenty of ways to get her back into the action, story/story telling for number three!

OT the Chimera look badass in the games and evolved nicely from this stunning concept art into the varied nasties we know and ove to kill today. Sometimes I just wish Insomniac would allow themsleves more time to make Resistance even more special. The self imposed game a year policy might suit R&C(which, though amazing, insomniac can prolly doin their jim-jams if not quite in their sleep!)pretty well but I felt the first Resistance was rushed a bit for PS3 launch and R2 lacked just a little polish and could have used the extra six months most other devs would use.

Christ! Bioshock, RDR et al get put back and I'm advocating Insomniac take longer with their games! End off R2 does set up the third game nicely but I do not want to play as Capelli really-he seemed a bit grumpy to me! I suppose we might even see the oft-mooted action/rpg from the new Insomniac studio too whenwe get past the launch of the next Ratchet too! Hope so as I'd love a brand new IP fom these guys. Always seems like the best place to work in the world the way TP talks about his studios too!

[10000]

never got to where the first one went..

[Nice]

the problem with the game wa that they removed too many things in order to progress the story, they removed a lot of Chimera species and bosses which were really cool...and dunno bout you guys but the Levithan battle was BOOOORRING!!!!

[82211986]

and could not somehow hold its ground...the first one was one of the better shooters that have been released on the PS3...

[10000]

I found the second one far more interesting...

[10000]

action much more intense in the second one as compared to the first....The magnum pistol was awesome...

[Dead_Cell]

Would have liked to have seen some of the older Chimerea strains (Bar that bloody Widowmaker).
Multiplayer is perfect though,street to street fighting in Chicago with 30 a side ftw \o/

[Bubble Buddy]

The 1st was better in most ways. The 2nd one was too easy for me in both competitive, co-op, and campaign, no boosting. I got all the trophies cept the 10k kills one which I'm lazy. In competitive, unless facing a clan or something it's too simple. My K/D is like 2. something. Hopefully the 3rd one will go back to its roots :)

[poopsack]

"in both competitive, co-op, and campaign"

number fail.

[Bubble Buddy]

give me a break, i barely had sleep cause of HP :P

[Ninjamonkey]

I preferred R1 tbh...

[cyclindk]

I always found the Chimera to be quite cuddly..

[mrv321]

Play Halo those enemies are cuddly...

I was soo scared by the forest level those invisible enemies where scary... I was jumpy all day.

I loved the story in Resistance the cutscenes looked cooler but lacked something from 1, the co-op is insanely fun so is Compeititive.

People should just learn one thing Resistance 2 isn't a fan sequel they changed too much, resistance 2 fixed the problems non-fans had with 1.

I think they should make a Resistance:Black edition, like Resistance on steroids with a much darker background, like the Russian side campaign with fewer enemies on screen but a more tense feel. That could be cool, you running around a Russian forest with lleaping chrimera in the tree tops. or charger which runs really quickly.

[DARK WITNESS]

i am sorry, the grunts in halo are cuddly yes...

The invisible Elites with the energy swords can be a real pain in the "£$% !! and are far from cuddly.

on topic... didn't like R2 one bit. I can't believe it got so hyped.

[mastiffchild]

Nah total lack of ads meant the hype for the game was severely lacking and despite putting up numbers other shooers on consoles never before managed it got lot of stick for a lack of innovation.WaW, Gears2, Halo3 (Forge/horde excepted as like the R2 60 player battles it's online)weren't expected to break new ground for the genre so why was R2?

It wasn't quite as amazing as I hoped it might be but the second game of a trilogy can sometimes feel like it's only there to set the final game up and both Gears2 and R2 suffered this fate for me. I do think the final Resistance will be a cracking game now though.

[FunAndGun]

I also prefer Fall of Man over R2. The first one was special, the second one; not so much.

[Gue1]

First FTW!

[Socomer 1979]

i understood that cole had the chimera rage in his blood which transformed him into the best soilder for the srpa. people didnt like his new attitude but how would you react if you were turning into a chimera soon?

The online was great technically with like zero lag, 60 gamers shooting it out with but after a while i felt like i was only playing 1 map over and over again and the only objective to win was defend the beacon. it got tiring and i really enjoy competitive over co-op.
I still play from time to time and i think its about time to move on over to custom matches so i dont keep playing the same stage again.

the story was surprising. i wasnt prepared for the ending and i cant wait for resistance 3 because the chimera are 1 of these best enemies to kill. Resistance 2 is very much better than halo 3 and i enjoyed halo 3 but its childishness in artistic direction and the story was gross and the enemies lack imagination and the online is Laggy as FCK. halo 3 does have instant replay and vehicles though and i would hope for that in future resistance games.

[ShadowMantis]

The first Resistance had good game play,and u were able to hold more than just 2 guns.Its not like I'm saying Resistance2 was bad,I do like it but was some what dissapointed with it.You could only carry two guns,it SUCKS!And it takes forever to level up.Oh and who can forget those annoying damn noobs that get killed,don't help u(so ur screaming ur f'n head off with ur mic left on.)And next thing u now,DAMN, MISSION FAILED!I hope the next part is more like 1.And the noobs won't play it!

[dragonyght]

if they release something like this i sure fanboys will gang on chemira being a clone of alien

[r1000]

I was pretty disappointed with the feel of R2, i mean i logged hours and hours for months on R1, my wife hated that game for that reason, the story was so good, and man the mulitplayer was very very very good and balanced with the exception of the jokers using the LARK.

But R2 didn't do it for me, even the look, the colors, it just didn't feel the same, the mulitplayer also lost what made R1 so good, the person above said it best, i think they were trying to hard to compete with Gears, and IMO we got the ass end of that stick

[dragonyght]

ya i know what you mean they should have keep original formula they change a whole lot of resistance gameplay in r2 and it wasnt as good

[silverchode]

i like the story but the game wasnt so great. i liked the first one better.

[San Frandisco]

to me the second one was far more interesting and intense with badass visuals to top it off...

i dont get it wen ppl say they hate or didnt like the seconds story and like the first wen its all ONE STORY,just told differently.
be more specific.

[ShadowMantis]

There nothing wrong with the second part,its just people prefered the first part.

[rbluetank]

their is almost no sound in the game. the chimera should say something. argh!!!! they are part human right??? they should call out names like k2. "this is our planet scum" or "you will die" or "you mother mates out of season" ect.... lol i love the series and i have 100% completion on both game... i wanted a better engine to get the fullness out of this series... i will always buy what ever they put out.... i wish they would of supported 8mp coop in R2. we should of got newer maps along with super hard mode /tweaks to the boss battles. it would of been fun to fight the widowmakers or ect.. with 8mp coop. it still could happen; i guess...
