]]> <![CDATA[Resistance 2 will Feature Eight-Player Co-Op, 60-player Multiplayer]]> "There will be squads within these mammoth fights, making the game feel more personal and filled with skirmishes instead of giant, faceless wars."

I hope they do this in a matchmaking way and not expect people to form their own squads. From all my time playing BF2 & BF2142 I've noticed about 1/2 the player base doesn't join them.

A centralized squad minus a squad leader, that's matchmade based on your friendslist/ping would be ideal imo.

okrangerbob

]]> <![CDATA[Resistance 2 will Feature Eight-Player Co-Op, 60-player Multiplayer]]> I'm on the same boat as the guy earlier who said he's just waiting for a game to make him buy a PS3. To justify it right now, it's going to take something pretty amazing. To specify: If, say, Grand Theft Auto IV had been a PS3 exclusive, I probably would have bought one.

But as of now, there's nothing there (Uncharted included) that entices me nearly enough to justify the purchase. I've already got more games than I have enough time to beat with my 360 and a Wii. PS3 is just kind of a novelty for me right now.

But I must admit, the whole.. huge battles but you with a smaller squad seems pretty damned cool. I can already imagine some of the awesome little stories you'd get from it. "Sure, they got all the glory on that one, with their big storm-the-base-with-huge-vehicles-fuck-all... But we did the real work. While they were making a name for themselves on the front lines, we were sneaking around back, making sure the real contenders on the other side were too dead to stop them."

It would just be fun.

I never got to play a FPS on the PC due to its limitations, and I always wished to have a 15 vs 15 type of match (something I desperately wished in COD4) on a console version, but 60?! That's even better.

I clicked on it because I like to read stories about all the systems, not just the ones about my console of choice. What good is it to argue one side of a fight with no understanding of the other? Also, I work at the super evil corporation out to steal our souls: Gamestop, so having this knowledge lets me pitch the all mighty preorder.

That all said, I do think the 8 player co-op sounds great. I'm just not a big fan of gigantic MP ala Battlefield or many many PC shooters.

]]> <![CDATA[Resistance 2 will Feature Eight-Player Co-Op, 60-player Multiplayer]]> @ca$h: The truth is that the PS3's initial release had no games I really wanted, and a price I simply couldn't afford. If I'd had the spare cash, I might have bought one as an investment (like the Wii) but the fact was that even if the system'd had enough game power to draw me, I still couldn't have bought one.

@enewtabie: These days, I buy consoles based on many factors. The Xbox was good to me, and I knew the 360 wouldn't disappoint. I know people who said the same, substituting PS2 and PS3, and I don't dispute their choices.

Resistance looks cool, and Resistance 2 promises to improve on a game that's gotten good testimony. Someday, I'll find out for myself, in my own home on my own machine. Just doesn't look like it'll be soon.

People bitched because the original PS3 price was way out of line with the rest of the market. They trotted out there fugly console and expected people to pay for it because it said Playstation on it. No thanks. Then, they take out backwards compatibility and alienate a massive chunk of their fanbase just so they can sell the console cheaper. I'm not even mentioning the rumble debacle and crummy SIXAXIS failure.

Say what you want about the 360, but it hasn't dropped in price as fast as the PS3 and its still cheaper. Call me a fanboy if you must, but until the PS3 can make the $400-600 tag worth it, I'll stick to my 360, Live, and the awesome lineup of games this year including Ninja Gaiden II, Gears 2, and Fable 2.

One game doesn't make buying a system worth it, even GTA IV.

That said, I don't own a PS3, I have played through Resistance on a friend's console, and I have to say, it doesn't stack up well with many current shooters. It just left a bitter taste in my mouth. The online wasn't much better.

That said, 8 player co-op does sound cool, but 60 player MP sounds horrible, even if we are broken into small squads. I'm not playing on a PC, I don't want gigantic PC numbers in my game. I'll stick to 16, thank you. Ground War in CoD4 with 18 is too big for.

In fact, just let me play 4v4 in Gears 2 and I'll be happy.

B-Tizo

]]> <![CDATA[Resistance 2 will Feature Eight-Player Co-Op, 60-player Multiplayer]]> From what I've read thus far, the 8-player co-op doesn't mean you have to have seven friends or enlist random and potentially annoying strangers. IIRC, it's more like a story mode, with scaling enemy counts and such, so if you have 4 it should work, and if you have any number <=8 it should still work fine. I also seem to recall something about being able to have different difficulties by player, but I may be giving R2 credit for a feature of a different game.

]]> <![CDATA[Resistance 2 will Feature Eight-Player Co-Op, 60-player Multiplayer]]> @Does Not Equal:
People bitched when the 60GB came out because they didn't want to spend $600, now they bitch because a model 2/3 the price comes along and doesn't have some of the features (even though it serves its purpose - to play PlayStation 3 games - just as well).

Moral of the story: if you wanted the 60GB version, you should have bought it when they announced they were going to stop making them. Even if you were worried about lack of games, they'll come eventually, they always do. Hell it took me two or three years to stop regretting buying a GameCube but eventually I did. Just give it time.

I love bigger matches and maps, like Big Team games in Halo or other shooters. But 60-people in a match seems unwieldy, not to mention a magnet for lag. Are my fears unfounded (those of you who have played larger matches, esp. on consoles.)?

For the record, I think the Ps3 is doing a bad job when compared to their peers. Hell even, I'd say bad when compared what they did with the PS2 at this time in the development cycle. They have a handful of exclusive A titles. As in, I can count them on one hand.

They've also been heavy on the hype with little delivering on it. There last A title to be? Lair.

With all that said, they have 3 huge titles coming up in the future, but again, until they are released, you are simply buying a system on the hype of future sales. Something I can't recommend for anyone given how the prices of systems drop in the long run.

Still, 8-player co-op and 60-player multi seems like a recipe for massive lag. It's not because it's PS3, either; if this were a game for 360 (my chosen console), I'd say the same.

If they can pull it off, then I'll be truly impressed. Would tip me closer to wanting the giant black box.

(Anyone else notice that a major complaint for the Xbox in Japan was that it was too big, but the PS3 outsells the 360? It wasn't the damn size!)

]]> <![CDATA[Resistance 2 will Feature Eight-Player Co-Op, 60-player Multiplayer]]> It seems that there will be several different objectives distributed among the squads so that two squads will be competing for a single objective while the other squads do their own thing. I like that they're finally elaborating on the multiplayer modes. I really looked at those big numbers as compensating for something when they were all that made multiplayer special for so long. I'm not impressed that your game can boast a bigger number than others, that's empty bullet-pointing. I assumed there would be more substance to the multiplayer, and it seems to be percolating to the surface now nicely. Also, Killzone 2 has at least 10 times as much hype than it deserves, a terrible pedigree and not a single interesting gameplay feature? I could pretend that it's going to be the next CoD4, but I don't see where I would get that idea beyond blind hoping.

2 months for a fixed 360? Where the hell do you live? It took under 2 weeks for me. But luckily I have multiple 360 consoles & a Wii to keep me occupied. Not that i'm saying having no console to play would make me want a PS3, lol.

(Money on the latter)

The first Resistance was felt super rushed, but on the verge of being something great at the same time. Hopefully the rush will be gone and they'll finally pack in all the awesomeness that they just glossed over in the first game.

Oh yes, I used an interrobang. I'm that impressed.

]]> <![CDATA[Resistance 2 will Feature Eight-Player Co-Op, 60-player Multiplayer]]> @John-irl: Of course it's to avoid competition between the two...but in terms of features, R2 seems to be raising the bar while KZ2 is focusing on graphics. If the online in R2 is improved and KZ2's is mediocre, how much of a sell would that be?

]]> <![CDATA[Resistance 2 will Feature Eight-Player Co-Op, 60-player Multiplayer]]> I have to say I am still a little sad to see how many people disliked Resistance: Fall of Man.

While it was a little slow to start the game really took off as you played. It was like it was the opposite of most games, it got better the deeper you got.

This was especially true on the harder levels, as you really had to learn how to use all the weapons. I never thought that I would end up liking the Sapper, but when faced with charging enemies it was great fun.

If Resistance 2 is even 1.1 times as fun as the first I will be feeling the joy GTA IV is giving me right now in six months : )

But I don't want skirmishes. There's 1000 other games that offer skirmishes on consoles. I want the giant war. Give me the giant war!

]]> <![CDATA[Resistance 2 will Feature Eight-Player Co-Op, 60-player Multiplayer]]> I finally played through the original, and I wondered why I had waited so long to play it. This game made me enjoy a FPS and I didn't think that was possible. Can't WAIT for the sequel!

]]> <![CDATA[Resistance 2 will Feature Eight-Player Co-Op, 60-player Multiplayer]]> 8 Player Co-op Campaign would be great, too bad my friends and I have no urge to get a PS3.

Maybe in a few years when the next-gen consoles are coming and the PS3 is cheaper I can convince my friends to get the PS3 & this game to play for a fun weekend.

My girlfriend would heartily disagree.

]]> <![CDATA[Resistance 2 will Feature Eight-Player Co-Op, 60-player Multiplayer]]> The squads fighting as part of a larger army is an inspired MP idea. I never once tried the MP in Resistance 1, but I think I'll have to give this a shot.

erm....what's that supposed to mean?

]]> <![CDATA[Resistance 2 will Feature Eight-Player Co-Op, 60-player Multiplayer]]> If they deliver like they did on the first game, I think I'll be happy. Everything moved so quickly and fluidly, it felt like I was playing a PC FPS.

Can't wait to see what kind of crazy new weapons you get in this one. And 8 player co-op is OMG.

]]> <![CDATA[Resistance 2 will Feature Eight-Player Co-Op, 60-player Multiplayer]]> I really want this game. I love co-op, which is why I like RSV series. This will be sick!

ChimDeathmonkey

]]> <![CDATA[Resistance 2 will Feature Eight-Player Co-Op, 60-player Multiplayer]]> Despite co-op being my gaming panacea, I'm pensive about 8 player co-op. My pool of PS3 owning friends doesnt number that high, and I'd hate to be forced to pull from a random pool of strangers. I'm hopin they scale the levels for smaller parties.

Cruz

]]> <![CDATA[Resistance 2 will Feature Eight-Player Co-Op, 60-player Multiplayer]]> I want this. I hate FPS games. I hate myself.

Maldron

]]> <![CDATA[Resistance 2 will Feature Eight-Player Co-Op, 60-player Multiplayer]]> Multiplayer sounds cool. Not too many console games offer that kind of large-scale battle experience.

In terms of single-player, etc., I hope they up the ante from the previous game. I couldn't help but feel that the first one was slightly generic and meh.

DugDawg

]]> <![CDATA[Resistance 2 will Feature Eight-Player Co-Op, 60-player Multiplayer]]> @huginn: And no one is complaining, except yourself that is. Believe it or not, people who own consoles actually want to be able to play with more than 16 people too.

]]> <![CDATA[Resistance 2 will Feature Eight-Player Co-Op, 60-player Multiplayer]]> Got to say... Resistance 1's multiplayer was weak. It was as if they made a multiplayer games based on 1994 multiplayer game modes.

SNORE.

Heres to hoping Resistance 2 actually has some innovation in the multiplayer facet.

Oooo....I'm rewarded for getting points...with POINTS! Count me in! :)

Looking forward to this game and hoping I will have time to play it. I've still got a 2007 backlog. I need to be independently wealthy.

doubtful

]]> <![CDATA[Resistance 2 will Feature Eight-Player Co-Op, 60-player Multiplayer]]> At this point, Resistance 2 might steal some of Killzone 2's hype. From the sound of it, R2 will offer more than KZ2.

gibfather

]]> <![CDATA[Resistance 2 will Feature Eight-Player Co-Op, 60-player Multiplayer]]> I seriously cannot wait for this game.

I'm hoping for 4-player split screen (I'll even take 2 player split-screen) co-op action where you can link up with up to 4 other PSTRIPLES. We're working on getting our 3rd PSTRIPLE in our apt.

def PD

]]> <![CDATA[Resistance 2 will Feature Eight-Player Co-Op, 60-player Multiplayer]]> The game will use some sort of system to make sure you always respawn near the same group of players, so you can really start to gun for them.

So they are using the two year old Battlefield 2's biggest features of huge MP and squad leader spawning?

huginn

]]> <![CDATA[Resistance 2 will Feature Eight-Player Co-Op, 60-player Multiplayer]]> The game is sounding to shape up well. Can't wait.
