RESISTANCE 2 DISCUSSION (PS3)

What do people generally feel about maps finishing too early? I'll mention one scenario in particular in Bryce Canyon whereby you have to destroy a main reactor which is protected by a Titan and floods of smaller Chimera. It's quite difficult to do.

As a spec-ops, I can simply go invisible, run over to the reactor and shoot all the rods out which ends the segment (and usually the game as it always seems to finish the map) before all the enemies died. I wondered after I did this whether people I was playing with would be a bit miffed.... Some of course might be glad to finish because it secures the 10% XP bonus but others might want to fight til all the enemies are dead...

As nobody was talking on headsets, I didn't hear any moans or cheers so I don't know whether to repeat this trick each time or just skulk about and finish the battle first.

Hate it, very annoying, not very satisfying. This is not MGS. I think I was on the Bryce map yesterday when you or someone else did it. No point in shouting down the headset, didn't know who did it, seeing as you all get sent to menu screen about 10 secs later anyway.

But I haven't worked out if the game is programmed to keep sending you enemies through the teleporter UNTIL you've destroyed the reactor... I don't know whether you could be fighting ad infinitum? I'll have to keep playing that map some more and see what happens.

EDIT: NM, going off on a rant. I shall only use my invisibility to escape out of trouble and not to do things which end the game prematurely. :D

Are you guys seeing something im not? The graphics are not particularly good. but with the amount happening on screen I wasn't expecting it to be ground breaking.

Saying that the gameplay itself is fantastic, which for me is the most important thing.

Are you talking about the single player campaign? They tone down the graphics in coop and competitive to allow for more stuff to happen on screen, the game looks its best in single player. Personally i thought it looked stunning, especially some of the later levels and one rather large boss in particular.
 
Even single player I don't think it looks great. The backgrounds look great though.

End of the day, take nothing away from it, great game.

Out of curiosity (and i won't argue with you on this as it's your opinion, i'm just curious), what on consoles do you think looks better? Excluding PC games obviously as they're more powerful so are obviously going to kick out better graphics. I'm just struggling to think of anything that has been released on either the 360 or ps3 that looks notably better than this.
 
Thats quite easy actually. Gears of war 2. Doesn't play as good mind you. Saying that, maybe cause im sitting to close playing on a 47inch TV?

Some parts of drakes fortune are truly stunning.
 
Ah, to be fair i've only played 20 mins of gears 2 and that was in a rather dank cave so i'm yet to see any exterior bits, i bet they must looks stunning. Drakes was great but its textures were rather... lackluster, however i imagine the sequel will see to that.
 
I think I know what it is. Gears of war even when im close to something it still looks great, when i get close to something in R2 it looks a bit.... 'rough'

Dunno, saying that, gears is 1080p...

actually, i think COD looks better on PS3.....
 
I'm talking rubbish again. That chip is for video output through HDMI. It's the ATi scaler that does the 720>1080p conversion.
 
Enough talk about which of the festive season's shooters look better please.

Anyone experiencing or heard of any issues regarding the single player campaign XP not showing or updating in the "My Rank" page?

I have just completed the single player campaign and it still says I have the same amount of XP that I had after Chapter 1 I think.

edit: Strangely, when I go to "Stats" under the "My Rank" page, it does show the correct amount of XP which I should have, namely 508025 XP. Also, the number of trophies that I have collected is no longer 6, but a higher number instead. Are there servers under maintenance or something?

edit 2: Turns out I am not the only one. http://www.myresistance.net/smf/index.php?topic=84528.0

Grrrrr...

There is clearly something wrong either with Resistance 2 servers or the Sony servers because the exact same thing happened with me regarding you and also rp2000, oh and also Streeteh I believe. I don't know what is going on but I think a patch is definitely needed asap.
 
Truth be told since that update finding a match seems to have become impossible. That was a couple of hours ago and haven't had a chance to give it another go...now back to the essay I'm supposed to be doing:D.
 
Took a day for my single player stats to update. I was rather upset at first having completed it on hard i wanted to at least show off about it.

The new unlocked difficulty (insane?) is rather difficult i'll give it that.
