Is Resistence 2 too on rails ?

I've got to say that the graphics quality and variaty of senarios and enemys have impressed me with resistence 2. But if there was one issue with the original it was too on rails for a modern shooter.

From most of the videos i have seen it looks like it will suffer from the same issues, the forest seens are all in low trenches, which for you in one direction. The iceland level sections i have seen are also mainly corridors.

I can excuse the first game for this as it was a launch title and may have been rushed a little to make sure it made it on time. Lets hope this is not the case with the second game.

The only way a game can truly be cinematic is by having certain segments that are out of your control (being on rails).

Yes, there is a fine balance between rails and freedom, but too much of either can really aggravate a gamer, or just make the game plain boring.

I think you have read a different thing into what i am attempting to say. Its the physical level being one long tunnel, no ability to go off path that worries me.

COD4 has set pieces which where impressive but it had open area which you could attach how you wished. Level such as the village in russia (can not remember the level name) are perfect example. You had to take each building but could do them in what ever order you wished.

Well, the full game has yet to be released, so reserve your judgments for later.

I think most scenarios will be played out prematurely.But I dont think the game will be bad anyway

Review - Sonic X Shadow Generations (Switch 2) | WayTooManyGames

WTMG's Aaron Price: "Of course, the music and voice acting is all great, it pretty much always is in Sonic games, and its quality is definitely not lost in the transition to the Nintendo Switch 2. Honestly, this might be the first time since playing the original Sonic games on my 3DS that playing Sonic handheld has felt so this good, this absolutely polished. Fast-paced levels mixed with being able to play in bursts in handheld mode. This might be a decade-old title, but it’s almost like this game had been originally crafted with the Switch 2 in mind, almost in a savant-like manner>"

Think that rumor that they'll still make a new console but at a profit at $1000 will be true though. The series consoles will remain their cheap alternative throughout next gen I would say. Keep in mind that game pass and pretty much going 3rd party is their main focus. They want to bring xbox everywhere.

gold_drake14h ago

omg yeh the ps4 lro was loud asf and heated up my room most of the time haha

pwnmaster300017h ago(Edited 17h ago)

Never had that problem.
Is there any videos, I’m really interested to see what they mean. I didn’t even know there was an over heating warning lol

shinXseijuro14h ago(Edited 14h ago)

That’s a plain lie . Any gaming news website or gaming enthusiast as heard about the issue . Not all ps5 ma suffers from it but it’s quit common. The average consumer has no idea how to clean the ps5 fan and interior properly . like a good old computers The gaming landscape is constantly changing and consoles are more likely to be small budget pcs without extra content . If you clean your pc you gotta clean your ps5 . I have one of those Amazon fans that helps a lot but I gotta clean my fan ever few months because i get this issue when I play higher demanding games . Had this issue mainly with Final fantasy 16 2 years ago . And it just did it to me last week on my REvillage run 😭😭😭. Clean those fans boys

gold_drake14h ago

no.
i never heard of this.

i played 16 too, for days, in the summer and never had this issue.

ive had my ps5 half a year after it came out and there was next to no dust inside. maybe your home is the issue or where u put it.

pwnmaster300013h ago(Edited 13h ago)

I’m talking about death stranding 2. Opening the map and it causes over heating sign to pop up.
Because it’s not happening to me.

But either way I have never seen an over heated warning sign.
I played so much games on my ps5, hundreds of hours. Played every game you said caused your ps5 to over heat and give you the warning sign.
Yeah the fan gets loud once in awhile but I have never seen an over heating warning sign.

Maybe you and many other needs to clean your gaming area or check your set up to allow proper air flow because I had my ps5 for years now and I cleaned it less then 5 times and every time I barely had any dust.

Don't stand a launch PS5 vertically! Horizontal is the way to go.

jznrpg13h ago

Clean your fans, that probably the biggest issue. It’s really easy to do with PS5/Pro.

There has been some rumors of Liquid Metal leaking for launch PS5’s but I’m not sure how true that is. I kept my launch PS5 vertical for first 3 years or so with no problems but switched it to horizontal when I gave it to my daughter, just in case.

I am playing DS2 right now but I’m on the Pro and have no issues at all, besides not enough time to play as much as I’d like to.
