First impressions?

Yet to give it a go, downloading the HUGE Ratchet Beta and then a massive patch for Resistance 3 have kept me from jumping in.

Shouldn't be too far off now...:o
 
Ok so first impressions...

This game is DRIPPING in atmosphere. No more than a minute in you're in a bunker that has become home to a few of the survivors. You can take it fast and get to where you start a little tutorial. Or you can slowly wander through and just soak in all the different bits that Insomniac have thrown in to immerse you into this bleak world that you're now in.

For some reason, I get a real Medal of Honor vibe from it. And when I mention MoH I mean the very first one back on PS1, none of this modern day shit.

The original MoH really brought you back to the time the game was set and instantly I feel that with Resistance 3. There's just a ton of detail crammed into this bunker that you start off in.

One really glaring issue to start with though, the lip syncing in the first cutscene was horrific. A good 2-3 second lag time. It's cleaned up once you're in the game (not had another cutscene as of yet though), but shocking for the first real game cutscene (there's an animated intro movie which obviously doesn't have lip syncing).

The first boss fight gives you plenty of room to move around the field. The big key with the gameplay is that you don't have the regenerative health, so basically you're forced to not be out in the open all the time. You really have to pick when and where to go after the enemies while knowing where your next health pick up is otherwise you'll be going down fast.

Quite decent graphically too.
 
Excellent game so far, definitely made up for the crap that was Resistance 2. Graphically its inconsistent, some parts look brilliant while others look bland and lack any real atmosphere. Most of the time your too busy to take note of the graphics anyway, the action is fluid and fast. The guns handle well and feel like they all play an important part in the game (well maybe except the magnum) Most fps games you pick up a favourite weapon and you'll use it for 90% of the game but with this i have found myself switching weapons constantly. Boss fights are a bit on the easy side but overall i'm impressed and will play it all the way through, maybe even try some multiplayer (wasnt impressed with the beta so lets hope they've fixed it)

Currently on chapter 7 or 8 and the story is decent enough so far, if it doesnt drop off towards the end then i'll be happy with it. Game gives me a Half Life 2 kinda vibe.
 
Might wait until you guys have jumped on the multi before picking this up. Thats where the action is for me.

If it has anything resembling One Hit CTF and maps designed in a similar vein to the first one, then it's a definite.

I don't think that's happening.

The MP is more focussed. No customisable games, no game browser, etc.

The maps are WAY smaller and condensed. So no huge Somerset type maps. They're more like Rooftops or Bus Yard.

Basically the MP plays like COD, only not as quick due to the framerate and not as killstreaky. But still fun.

(All gathered from the beta which I had a couple of hours on)

Also FWIW peoples, turn your cover art inside out and you get a much cleaner look at the cover art. No logo's and the back of the box has a nice extra picture too. Looks amazing.

This. Wish all games had this option, looks so much better
 
Bought it today, was only 80 bucks, we will see how much I play it.

See you online mofo's
 
Haha, wow, this game is bloody terrible. Played for a decent few hours just now and multiplayer is a woeful experience.

WTF were they thinking? Its like a Halo/CoD mutant spawn but its taken just the worst bits of each game rather than the good.

The amount of damage required to kill a guy is ridiculous, would be fine if you could tune it just like you can in a private game! Why not make those settings available in public games!? Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

Will be trading as soon as possible.

Is it anything like COD, fast twitch shooter? Is it similar to killzone where it takes a while to shoot down a enemy?

Would like more thoughts on Multiplayer.

Like Killzone. I had the same thoughts as morell when playing the beta, was a horrible experience and looks like it hasn't improved.

I noticed in the beta that after i had hit level 6ish and upgraded the weapons that they drop a LOT quicker.
 
Well i was going to give it a run tonight but it decided during the install to freezeon me, and now the data is corrupted :(
Now i gotta delete and start again :mad:
Never had do delete some corrupt data before, it takes so long ffs.

Tried it again this morning and nah, its just no good.

What has happened to modern gaming? There is so much utter shit out there.

I dont think I have truly enjoyed a video game since MW2

Its the complete opposite of fast twitch shooter. Its more a test of who can aim better whilst running around eachother in a circle.

You can literally pump a full magazine into someomes torso from mid range, reload, and start again. Its not due to lag or poor hit detection, just the way they designed the game.

That is fine, some people enjoy that type of shooter, but give the rest of us the option to fine tune our online experience.

Cannot actually get into a CTF game, just sits there, people come and go, but cannot actually start a game, why wouldn't you just let it be a 2v2 or whatevs and let people join later.

Oh and you cant run with the flag, you have to walk it back, oh,and you cant shoot either.

Oh Insomniac, where did you go so wrong. :(

Since everyone here like Resistance FOM, what type of shooter was it compared to resistance 3?
