Has this video already been posted? A guy smashes his Ps3 in front of all the gamerz waiting in line. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CTy7Nx0oPI&eurl=
Here's some final impressions about Resistance from "Bebpo" at NeoGAF: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=4902342&postcount=1033 I posted that since I usually have the same tastes in video games that this guy has, and I do enjoy reading his reviews (he is a professional reviewer BTW). Judging from his impressions, I might have underestimated Resistance, especially the visuals of the game. I seriously want to know how Resistance somehow put up visuals that bested Gears of War (or at least the best of Resistance bested the best of GOW anway). I want some pics, videos, or something, because that would have to be some pretty awesome graphics. Reading that kind of makes the wait a little harder.
He's way more enthusiastic about it than pretty much every other reviewer out there. It looks to me (I only played a small bit, but have read up a lot because it looks like a decent game) like a solid launch game, but nothing spectacular. When I played it - and I know this is a common statement - but it really did look like a 'good' Call of Duty. Regardless, I'm sure it is at the very least a solid game from top to bottom. I love Insomniac's stuff. But 'Game Of The Year' is probably a bit (okay, alot) much.
I haven't checked out every review for Resistance, although he does appear to be slightly more enthusiastic about it than most. I did see some reviews that put the game on par with Halo or even better though (best console FPS). None of them were from IGN, Gamespot, 1UP, etc.(though if you find Game Informer reliable, 2 of their reviewers both gave it a 9.5 and said it was Sony's answer to Halo for sure). Most of the other reviews he's done didn't vary too much from their Metacritic scores (maybe a few points at most). That doesn't really matter though. I tend to trust his impressions on games more so than pretty much any other reviewer (including Gamespot). As I said, I pretty much have the same tastes in games that he has, and that was definitely the case in some of the previous games he's played and given impressions on (Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, Okami, FFXII, etc). If Gamespot, IGN, 1UP, Game Informer, etc., all said a game sucked but he thought it was great and highly recommended it, I'd probably give it a shot based on his recommendation. It is kind of hard to explain if you haven't followed his impressions and reviews in the past. One thing that pretty much everyone on the NeoGAF board says is that the game takes big jump in quality the deeper into the game you get. Just some quotes: (follow up post from 2 quotes ago) And so on. Do note that Bebpo wasn't all that impressed with the game at first either, and by the end of the game, he was thinking about giving it GOTY. Because of all those impressions, I wouldn't put much stock in your impressions unless you played the game for like 5+ hours or something (no offense, but that's just due to the design of the game). All that said, Bebpo did make some rather strong statements. I'm going to reserve my judgements about Resistance's quality compared to other FPSs or games that came out this year until I play the game myself (which won't be until next year ). I still want to see the type of visuals he was talking about that looked better than the best Gears has to offer though. A bunch of the guys that are playing Resistance have also played (and finished) GOW, but none of them are refuting what he said...so maybe that is true. I still want to see it with my own eyes before I accept it as the truth though. Unfortunately, DCharlie and the other posters have quit taking pics (partially because of spoilers I believe). I might have to wait until next year to see this too.
i played some resistance at a buddies house. granted it was like 15 minutes max but at no point did it wow me (graphically) like gears of war. i do however have the urge to play it a bit more and see some of these other weapons.
Resistance blew me away. Not because its so amazing, but more so because I had underestimated it. The high end graphics are in the story mode. It gets nuts. Not game of the year, but it is one of the best launch games since like Super Mario World or something.

Considering the widespread agendas that go on in a GAF thread by various folk, I think I'd go elsewhere to try to find objectivity. And as I said, I think it is probably a very, very good game. But to put it above the Half Lifes and Halos of the world (which, considering how those are appreciated, means pretty much every shooter ever made) is a bit much. You would think that more of the 'professional' reviewers would in some way echo that statement if true. So that's all that I meant. Game Of The Year is just a little too enthusiatic, IMO.
You peaked my interest, RC Cola. I want you to arrive at an answer. Which is better..."Gears of War" or "Resistance"...and why (don't say graphics...lol)?
Say what you want about the PS3, but it looks like it's pretty well built. I was expecting it to smash into a million pieces after a couple of hits, but it held up suprisingly well
seeing as there are very few ps3's out there, it's just suprising to me that so many people form opinions based on hearsay who cares what this or that reviewer said...actually play the game yourself first...
wow!! is this a trailer or actual game play?????? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3pARJzAzAA i never played mgs this might be the first game i might buy for the ps3
What is that supposed to mean? I wouldn't put my trust in just anyone, but there are some members over there that I would trust over most people in the industry. Without playing it, I'd probably say so too. But considering both of us haven't put much (if any) time into the game, it would probably be best to reserve judgment on the final quality of the game until we put 10+ hours or so into the game. I haven't checked out every review for Resistance, but I know some of them did put the game up there with Halo. Besides, considering a lot of those reviewers post at NeoGAF, I guess they could have agendas too. Actually, considering the text in some of the reviews said, it wouldn't surprise me if they wrote their reviews on the game before they finished it. That's usually not a problem for most games, but it would be for Resistance apparently. Probably so, but that is his opinion. And I tend to share his opinion on several games, so that does get me personally excited about Resistance. I may just see it as a very solid FPS when I finish the game (which is what I expected), but perhaps I might come away even more impressed by the game. Not sure about GOTY or the best (console) FPS ever, but it might still exceed my somewhat high expectations. Hell if I know. I haven't played either game, nor will I until probably sometime next year. They're two different types of games from what I've seen and read, but you probably can't go wrong with either (both seem deserving of the "killer app" title). Based on what I've seen, I'd give the edge to Gears. I can explain why, but it would be based on a limited amount of info, so not much point in doing so IMO. Not gameplay, but a cutscene. It isn't prerendered or anything like that though (it is real time, in-engine, etc), and the gameplay graphics of MGS games tend to look similar to the cutscene graphics.
Why? Every thread is filled with with someone overreacting, bashing one system or another, trying to make some things worse or better than they are. Look at it right now; Overreaction to supposed 'Wii defects', a post from the NYT talking about how bad the PS3 is (all of two days in), etc. etc. I don't really know that a thread where all the PS3 early adopters are singing 'game of the year' praises for the only good launch game should be taken as the end all/be all. Hell, there are some people there trying to say that Red Steel is good and that people just didn't give the controls a chance. I did play enough of that one to know that's a load of crap.
i agree. Seeing as though there are very few early adopters to begin with, I think most this talk is just overblown hearsay hype.
