+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted November 1, 2008 Author Subscriber² Share Posted November 1, 2008 Resistance 2 Midnight Launch Event, Insomniac Community Day DetailsIt?s here! Well, almost. The launch of Resistance 2 is now only days away, so we hope you and your Bullseye are just about ready to go huntin? for some Chimera. The game officially hits store shelves in North America on November 4, and to help celebrate Resistance 2?s arrival, we?ve got something extra-special planned: Midnight Launch Event: That?s right, Resistance 2 is taking over the PlayStation Store in San Francisco?s Metreon for the night of November 3rd (and early on the 4th). In addition to being one of the first to pick up a copy of the game, attendees will be able to meet a host of Insomniacs (including Ted Price, our President and CEO, and members of the community team), receive some cool swag, get their copy of the game signed, and have their picture taken and placed on the cover of Resistance 2. Oh, and if you?re planning on purchasing the collector?s edition, you definitely want to come to this event. Trust us; your wallet will thank you for it. You can purchase the game at 12:01 am, but fans that show up a bit early can meet us and get that photo of yourself on the R2 cover. While November 4 has been etched in the minds of Resistance fans, here?s another one to mark on your calendar: November 7. That?s the date of our first-ever community day here at Insomniac. Fans will be treated to a studio tour, Resistance 2 competitive multiplayer sessions against the dev team, a panel discussion about our latest title, and other fun activities. If you are at least 17 years old and live/plan to be in the Los Angeles area on November 7, e-mail us at RSVP@insomniacgames.com for more details on the event. Well, that?s it for now. I hope you use this weekend to get in a few extra rounds with the beta (we just extended it until Monday). See you soon on the battlefield!

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted November 2, 2008 Author Subscriber² Share Posted November 2, 2008 Really enjoying this online :) Must get title for myself. Think it's the fact I feel rewarded constantly, even for just hitting people (exp system) coupled with the massive 60 player games. When I play with that many people I don't feel as hard done by to be amazing at the game, because there's so many levels of skill kicking about in anyone given match. I've not finished high up the list, think 21st is my best, but there's something okay about finishing 32nd and saying, auchhh 28 people finished below me :p I enjoy console FPS games, but I've tended to shy away from really getting online with them and just play the odd game. I'm only decent at using analog sticks to aim. Still to tryout some proper co-op, but due to the beta ending I'll probably wait till I have the game for that.

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted November 3, 2008 Veteran Share Posted November 3, 2008 Well I'm keeping my preorder (Y) Really impressed with the changes they've made since the first. Still hate the controls so I will need to change them around when I get it. Still not sold on the SP story etc, will have to wait and see but I hated the first also. The multiplayer is really the big thing selling it for me. Gonna order the Dual Shock 3 and the triggers tonight I think. Anyone know of good prices?

First thing I did in the first one was change the controls, literally the very first thing. And I just bought those RealTriggers for $5 US, have not seen them any cheaper than that, but the best $5 I ever spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shopto have the best prices on the triggers, but they haven't been in stock in like a month. I bought mine from Play - http://www.play.com/Games/PlayStation3/4-/...S3/Product.html Usually crappy 3 days delivery though. Best I can find on DS3 just now is ?30 delivered - http://www.365games.co.uk/index.php?productID=2532 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted November 3, 2008 Veteran Share Posted November 3, 2008 (edited) Yeah I tried to play the game with default controls in the original but it was just too awkward for me, especially with the shape of the controller. I changed them when I played online (had already given up on the SP at that point :laugh:). Edit: thanks AB, think I will buy the DS3 from Gameplay for ?33 and the triggers from Play. Comes to ?36.54, so just a little extra than RRP for the DS3 alone. Edited November 3, 2008 by DrunknMunky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted November 3, 2008 Veteran Share Posted November 3, 2008 Nope it wasn't with a voucher, it was just their default price. Sucks if they changed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corris Veteran Posted November 3, 2008 Veteran Share Posted November 3, 2008 Nope it wasn't with a voucher, it was just their default price. Sucks if they changed it. Yea they have. I was going to order when it was 29.99, but didn't, went back and it had gone up. I'll keep looking around for a bit and hope I find something otherwise I'll go with one of them.

DirtyLarry Veteran Posted November 3, 2008 Veteran Share Posted November 3, 2008 Where can I get the triggers in the US? You can get them from Amazon here, or if you happen to have a Game Crazy by you (smaller chain affiliated with Holywood Video I believe), that is where I got mine from.

DirtyLarry Veteran Posted November 4, 2008 Veteran Share Posted November 4, 2008 I had to take my wife to the doctor, bit of an upset stomach, so just started playing again. I just got to the part of the campaign where you see the famous scene of the Golden Gate bridge and the sky in just utter chaos. Up until this point it has been pretty standard First Person Shooter stuff, which I happen to like. I am also only about a half hour or so in, so I think the game has more or less been getting you prepared for what lies ahead. I thought with the latest firmware you could take screen captures?? If so, how can you do it? i would love to get this scene captured, it looks just as good as it did it all of the pics I have seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be supported by the dev, it's not a universal feature :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
