LegitGamer - Resistance 3 Beta Preview

LegitGamer - The main issue I have with the game is that the popular weapons have been weakened, and it feels like a chore to kill anyone. Yet at the same time, other weapons have been vastly improved. The Bullseye’s alt-fire for example, will auto-lock on to the enemy slightly, so when you fire vaguely in their direction, they’re pretty much guaranteed to lose out in a firefight. I hope Insomniac makes some big changes to this, because it is a little disappointing, especially when they’ve had an extra year to work on things.

It does seem extremely sluggish when I played it, there were a few people online saying that the beta doesn't help Insomniac at all, because it makes people want to not buy the game. Though that guy was comparing R3 to Battlefield 3 (I know wtf?), I'm still getting it.

BldyShdw5021d ago

I may be wrong here but isn't the whole point of a beta to test a game for faults and then fix before release? If it's sluggish in the beta that has no bearing on how the actual game will be.

gaffyh5021d ago

I would normally say that too, but this beta is way too close to the release of the game for it to make much difference imo. The game is out on September 6th, and the closed beta just started at the end of July. I hope they do fix some things, because I love Resistance, and am sure the single-player will be great, but I don't like that they back-tracked on some of the good ideas in R2 (I know there weren't many).

Nitrowolf25021d ago (Edited 5021d ago )

The carbine, you move so slow with that weapon when you first start the game. other weapons gets faster as you unlock and upgrade them more. I'm getting it as well, but I don't like the weight feel for every weapon, it's different and kind of annoying. I can't kill with the carbine and that use to be my favorite gun in Resistance.
Guess that's why we have betas

@Below
IDK either, might just be cause i'm not use to the game yet.

What about climbing ladders? Doesn't that feel stiff?

trollkill5021d ago

carbine is all i use and im always in top two or three of matches with good amount of kills so idk why its an issue with you.

PR_FROM_OHIO5021d ago

I'm loving the beta and i wasn't a fan of the first 2 games online but this just has that fun factor!!!!!!!!!!!! DAY 1 for me1

NicSage5021d ago

i'm on the fence currently, the graphics are so poor compared to the other games in clarity it seems, muddy.

it feels like call of duty rather than resistance to me.

i was seriously excited for R3, but now the multiplayer has me feeling meh.

trollkill5021d ago

Sorry to hear that although i agree in terms of graphics they should have made them better, but playing so much it has grown on me and ive noticed thngs theyve done graphics and physics wise with lighting and particles that look good. I guess the character animations htrow everything off!!!! I dont like them!!!!

InNomeDiDio5021d ago

Graphics aren't everything. As long it's fun. And it looks good enough to have a lot of fun.

NicSage5021d ago

I agree Graphics aren't everything, but It feels SD rather than HD is what i'm saying, I'm not saying it looks PS2 quality or anything, I think everything looks awesome, much better than the previous installments.

What I am saying tho is the textures look blurry/muddy just not very crisp. Screen Shots look crystal clear but actual gameplay is muddy.

Resistance 3 is a Classic, 13 Years On

Insomniac Games' thunderous conclusion to its acclaimed first-person shooter series remains an under-appreciated work of art.

Sony needs to remake the trilogy on ps5

CrimsonWing69173d ago

I’d rather them do a new game in the world of Resistance.

Cacabunga173d ago (Edited 173d ago )

I honestly liked the first one most..
killzone 2 and 3 outshined Resistance 2 and 3 for me in every aspect.

Eonjay173d ago

I absolutely adored Resistance 3 but they do not NEED to remake this game. They should do something that they enjoy and if it is Resistance then so be it.

Mr_cheese173d ago

Loved resistance 3, played the whole thing on co op with the move controller and gun, was very different!

Resistance 2 online was the best

gamerz173d ago

Me too, but also on a 3D tv! R3 was one of the few games that got plastic rifle panning motion right.

isarai173d ago

Such a criminally underrated series, id love a remaster collection of the trilogy.

preciousdeath173d ago

Yes! ...and make them PSVR2 compatible.

Pedrof173d ago

Not a classic in my opinion ; a pretty mediocre PS3 shooter as far as I'm concerned, not bad, not the worst of the trilogy, but certainly not great. Killzone 2 was miles ahead of it (and of most FPSs even today as far as I'm concerned).

pwnmaster3000173d ago

Naw man.
Resistance 1 will always be GOATed for me.
I remember playing all night on multiplayer. Such a fun game.

P_Bomb173d ago

Ah yeah, R1! I cut my teeth on the one-shot Walmart map, lol! Miss that.

gamerz173d ago

Played that demo soooooo many damn times since it was the only thing to play for a while at launch. That and motorstorm.

refocusedman173d ago

killzone was amazing but resistance was great as well. althpugh theybwrre both fps, I think that served different purposes.

JEECE173d ago

Thanks for turning Insomniac into a Marvel studio.

ApocalypseShadow173d ago (Edited 173d ago )

Although I agree on original games and creativity over licensed IP, especially something like Ghost of Tsushima. But Sony's looking at that series selling less and less overall with the 3rd estimated to not even sell 2 million. Gamers who say they loved it didn't really buy it.

While Spiderman the series has sold over 50 million not counting PC. And Spider-Man 2 is over 11 million so far. If you had their business and had to make their decisions, what would you do in their shoes?

JEECE173d ago

@ApocalypseShadow

Umm, that's exactly my point lol. Insomniac made great, original IP games and people didn't buy them because they were too busy lapping up yearly CODs and Assassin's Creeds, so naturally Sony/Insomniac had to pivot to something else.

Knushwood Butt173d ago

So you are saying 1 was the worst?
I respect your opinion but strongly disagree.

I'll start with what I didn't like about 3:
- OK, Nathan Hale is gone but new player character totally forgettable. Can't even remember their name.
- Awful forced in 3D. Just look at KZ3 for 3D done well.
- Online multiplayer that paled in comparison to 1 and 2. Put hundreds of hours into the first two. Probably less than 10 hours into 3.
- Campaign was OK but I played the other two more, especially 1.

Pedrof172d ago

1 had my favorite gunplay of the trilogy (no need for COD iron sight) so I guess my worst would be 2. At least 3 wrapped up the storyline, supported the move controller and had prettier graphics. But in my book, none of the three really stood out. From that era, I prefered Singularity for example and obviously Killzone 2.

I wish they'd bring back the Resistance 2 multiplayer. God that co-op was so much fun.

Resistance 3 is such a great game. One of my all time bests.

cooperdnizzle1040d ago

Couldn’t agree more. Still love It as a shooter to this day.

Just something about that game. I really wish they would just do a remaster, don’t even need a remake just bring it up to todays out put, touch up a few things if any, and I am there to buy it day one.

Of course I would love a remake built from the ground up. As long as they treated it like Shadow of the Colossus, or close to those type of remake. Wouldn’t want it to get the RE treatment…. Just because the game is already paced so perfect and hits all the right beats that I wouldn’t touch that aspect.

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.

Eidolon1096d ago

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

Miraak82 1096d 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_vulgaris1098d ago

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

GoodGuy091098d ago

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

fr0sty1096d ago

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

P_Bomb1097d ago

Never played Burning Skies but I still have Retribution.

monkey6021097d ago

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

porkChop1097d 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.

darthv721096d 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_Suzumiya1097d ago

Resistance 3 was shocking and brilliant. Loved it.
