[Official] Resistance 2

Increasing player limits is not revolutionizing anything, no matter what the game is. At least not imo anyway.

Co-op itself was the evoltion, increasing the numbers is just the next natural step. Not some great idea someone spent all night coming up with.

It's how it's done that counts :yes:

Not just about putting the limit up, no.

However on that note anyway, it will be the first console based game to cater for an amount of players that high, typically consoles don't even hit basic PC limits like 24/32 (see TF2 console vs TF2 PC).

Whilst I agree the amount of players in a game isn't anything special, after being part of the beta testing I can say it handles it extremely well and the games I got involved in were great fun - the massive amount of people helped the gameplay.

It does look like they have done a huge amount of work since the beta code because the newest pictures and videos are amazing looking. Couple that with how it plays (from what I've played) and this is a winner.

It's everything I hoped Halo3 would have been, but wasn't. I was gutted with what Bungie did with H3, really gutted.

Well I'm sure quite a few nights went into the network code to handle 60 player online/8 player co-op online :rofl:

Seeing as some other games struggle to handle matches of a much smaller size.

Let's hope R2 is lag free!

Good to hear, that is what matters (Y)

Can't please everyone!

It met and exceeded my expectations personally :yes:

@AB, like I said, not evolution, just natural progression (Y)

@AB, like I said, not evolution, just natural progression (Y)

Well I usually think the first game on a platform to do it is essentially the evolution and when every other game follows suit, that's the natural progression :p

But whatever, let's hope the game kicks ass!

If you have a PS3, enjoy FPS', you can't go far wrong with RFOM2, and KZ2. Infact you can't go wrong at all

Well they went wrong with KZ1 and RFOM1 wasn't anything special, so yeah I'd say there is still a chance they could mess up one of them. It's looking very unlikely for KZ2 imo, but RFOM2 I'll wait for reviews to find out before buying.

Why have the ''Better than Call of Duty 4?''

Seriously.

They would have been slated for saying 'Halo' so they have gone for another great FPS. The game does have some COD4 touches so it makes sense.

It doesn't mean they are trying to hype up a 'crap' game (how anybody can say that when they have yet to play it is crazy).

That's the words of OPM anyway, not Insomniac.

An old favourite :p

It's not gonna be better than COD4, I think that's pretty safe to assume. COD4 perfected it's story and gameplay over what, 6 years? Just hype at the end of the day.

I could argue its all personal opinion. I thought the story in RFOM was better than any FPS I've played, I really enjoyed it.

COD4 story was too short, and the game consisted of far too many scripted events.

Online part could be better, SP part could be better, Co-Op could be better, certain things could be better.

Just need to wait and see, no point in really saying either way when one game is completed, out and reviewed, and one isn't.

The segment written in OPM is just hype to get you interested as COD4 is a landmark online/SP title.

Yes it does come down to opinion, we'll just have to see how many awards it receives to declare a winner between the two. I know who gets my vote!

You can bet that RFOM2 and KZ2 are full of scripted events while we're on the subject. If you still believe that first video shown in 2005 was real time then I truely feel sad for your ignorance.

Seeing as he's playing the beta I think, I doubt that.

Plus after the ass tearing that video got, I doubt my Gran even still thinks it's real time :laugh:

What video? The Killzone 2 one? EVERYBODY knows that wasn't using the game engine. The beta I'm playing right now looks far better than any game I've played on any platform to date.

Ah, you know what some fans are like. Defending **** to the death etc etc ;)

Well it's hard to truly criticise/defend a game that's not out, unless you've somehow played it, are quoting journalist previews, or are merely speculating.

But there's a difference between speculating and telling everyone you know how something will turn out that's not out yet. Unless there is pretty substantial evidence from previews - Like everyone of them on the web slates the graphics, you can pretty much safely assume graphics won't be that great. Or on the other flipside, everyone of them praises the online component, you can safely assume online will be good.

If not, then you're being a tad pretentious with your claims.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
    • Arkane, Ninja Theory, and Double Fine might be on the chopping block too.
