Resistance 3 Discussion

Yes...Already

Well I've finish R2 and I've got some things to say.

Well R2 is a lot better than RFOM in quite a few ways

Graphics are a lot more crisp
Controls are a lot more refined
Story is truely amazing
Bigger co-op
More Online 60 players!
Menu a lot better
Auger looks cooler
All the weapons look a heap better and worked better with better secondary fire
2 player online play Meaning you can play splitscreen online with co-op and Vs'es
Spicers!
Gibbing!
Some liked the Co-op story
Trophy support
Character development





NEGATIVES of R2

What NO 4 Player Splitscreen!!?!
Eh? Co-op is a seperate story? I want to play the main story with a friend though
Those STUPID Drones
Those STUPID chameleons and furies
Two weapons only (I prefer it this way although some don't)
SPOLIER: H4L3 DI35?! DO NOT CLICK IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED THE GAME I WARNED YOU:eek:



So here's a list of things that R2 was good about and not so good about

Post if you have something to add

But...

What we want in Resistance 3


Forge! I say I enjoyed the forge in Halo 3 put it in here
Splitscreen Make sure to bring it back!
One story Co-op 8 or more people, keep lot of players in co-op but one story!
More bosses!
An ally for the humans maybe another Alien race to help the humans!
I hope Hale DIDN'T die, and that his chimera powers managed to allow him to survive the headshot wound or something. Then, in R3, he becomes the next Daedulas, and is the main villian of R3. You'd have to play as a NEW character in order to stop Hale, who has become the leader of the Chimera now that he's one of them.

We didn't see Hale dead on the ground, maybe the chimeran virus saved him

Well, the plot could bring back Hale. He was near god like enough at the end. His role with the Specters from R1 was not properly explained. Did he know about them? Was he a willing guinea pig? What was his relation to Shepard before Shepard went rogue?

Back to R2 plot analysis... You've got England and the Resistance still there. You have the doctor character definitely alive and I think the major in charge of specter is still alive as well. And who knows what happened to the Capelli, the man who shot Hale. He might live or not. I just hope he does not become the new main character. His character type was annoying.

Near the end they were alluding to a third race in the intel documents that the Chimera were reacting to in the past. Who were they? Good, evil, a prototype to mankind? Some sort of superpower that could destroy the Chimera for good or give them ultimate power? The whole collecting of the ships around Mexico certainly points to a bigger plot level. I'm guessing exploring this "third race" theme will be a major part of R3. I'm guessing as well that Hale worked it all out when he killed Daedalus.


Ideas from RockSauron, oldage and Elbee23

If you have anymore ideas post them I'll add them to the list!

Also, when I first read of the 8-co op story, I thought it was a seperate story with 8 people, and every time you hooked up it found 8 people who were at that point in the story... guess I was wrong .

Man... I REALLY hate that there's no 2 player story-mode.... I was just sooo cool.

Anyway, "Resistance 3" on it's own sounds cool

Just finished R2...

Ending spoilers:
I'm getting really tired of cliffhanger endings in games but... ****, that was sweet when they showed Hale's brains being blown out. I mean, they could have cut away to a shadow of it happening but they actually showed it. Pretty crazy.

The only thing I could say after it happened was: ****.

"It's been an honor." *BANG*

Guess it's time to start playing the online modes, now... I always have to beat the story mode before trying online things in games because people love to ruin endings.

Well, there were good things and bad things about R2. Some of the good that were not already mentioned...

Postives

The weapons overall were a heap better, and not just the Auger. Most things have bigger clips and improved secondary fire. It just makes things run better in the heat of battle.
I actually liked the extra storyline of co-op mode. I haven't fully explored it to death, but it adds a new take on the storyline as a whole and allows them to go to different areas the main storyline cannot, like what's happening in Europe and the impacts of this. Hale is a pretty unique fellow, and the co-op helps the game feel a bit more grounded in reality. Not everyone in that universe is an immortal superhuman.
I loved the trophy support. It really encourages you to do different things in the single player game, and challenges you to try out some of the other weapons rather than relying on just 2 or 3 main ones.
I liked the expansion that they were giving to the story by introducing the US and their role in things. Good stuff with the writing and character development.


Negatives

As said, 4 player on screen was really missed. I can't do 2 player competition matches either. If I want to do a deathmatch with a friend, I need to put in a different game to R2. Most new comers would get slaughtered in online and you don't always want to play against strangers.

I hated the chameleons and furies. Hale is nearly invincible, and has weapons powerful enough to do serious damage, and yet he can't destroy something swimming in the water. That's plain dumb if you ask me and has cheap death gameplay mechanics written all over it.

Speaking of cheap death, I hated the chameleons too. If you died the first time, you knew exactly where they were coming from when you respawned. That's just lame to me, and again it was a cheap death feeling.

I hated the two weapons at a time thing. Yeah, I know it's realistic, and it theoretically makes for tactical decisions, but in reality, I like to have every option open to me while I play. R1 did this well by limiting ammo supplies as necessary. I'd like to see something like that come back.

Yeah, the drones were crap. Hardly did any damage to you, but difficult to hit or take cover from. Just a waste of ammo to me. I liked the old crawly things that hardly did anything instead. At least those were easy to hit.


My thoughts on story direction. Let me use spoilers, and of course don't read this if you haven't finished.

Well, the could bring back Hale. He was near god like enough at the end. His role with the Specters from R1 was not properly explained. Did he know about them? Was he a willing guinea pig? What was his relation to Shepard before Shepard went rogue? Spoilers if you haven't finished R1.

At the end of R1 he wanted to kill himself, and nearly did when they found him. They cut that out when they replayed it in R2, but that kind of suggests to me that he was not a willing test subject. I'd like to see it all explored a bit more.
Back to R2 plot analysis... You've got England and the Resistance still there. You have the doctor character definitely alive and I think the major in charge of specter is still alive as well. And who knows what happened to the Capelli, the man who shot Hale. He might live or not. I just hope he does not become the new main character. His character type was annoying.

I'd rather play the main story online tbh.
I remember when Insomniac said "There will be a storyline in the online co-op mode"

what?!

Yeah, the co-op mode is pretty basic but I was having a great time playing it last night being a medic. The problem is: it's hard to be a medic and get a lot of experience when there is more than one medic in the room.

Competitive... I got my *** handed to me at first but after a few rounds, I was placing in the mid rank range, each time. I'm sure I could get in the top three consistently with a little more time spent on it.

I just don't think it's good enough to hold my interest long enough...

...I really did enjoy being a medic, though. Pretty fun.

...

You just gotta be the first one to heal everyone or get lucky and hopefully the other medic won't know what's going on. I just start healing everyone just as I see them taking damage and most of the time I'll be at the top of the rank in XP and accuracy.
