wow this game starts off slowly... hope it picks up. talk about a snooze-fest. I like it when games start off in the middle of the action, like the first 5 minutes of a movie
I don't think he knows what he's doing lol. Speaking of has anyone gotten their beta invites yet?! So far I've only hear EU codes have been set which has left me checking my email quite a few times today hoping the US codes will go out soon. From what I've seen LBp vita looks every bit as good as it is on console an will be its flagship title for quite awhile.
Tried the Resistance demo and it wasn't bad... But it wasn't great either. Kind of meh to be honest. Graphically, it's better in some places than NOVA 3 and worse in others. Almost everything looked at least OK, but some things looked like they were straight out of a PSP/PS2 game (the chimeran ship that is crashed in the beginning warehouse or whatever). Bump mapping, lighting, and particles weren't bad. Also noticed a few sound glitches- Smitty (or whatever the fire fighter you rescue in the beginning's name is) moves his lips after his voice plays. Seems really inconsistent. It also got relatively boring quick, because you just do the same thing over and over. The level design is very linear- they just lay it out in a zig-zag sort of way. No multiple paths or anything. Graphical quality kind of reminds me of Fallout 3/New Vegas. It looks great in some places, but bad/subpar in others. Of course, the Fallout games offer craploads of gameplay and this does not. Story seems like it was put on the back burner or written overnight and never revised. You're never really introduced to Tom Riley- you don't know anything about him except that he's a firefighter. It also really bugs me that he can use all these weapons without any explanation. Did he used to be in the military? Is he a gun enthusiast? Ultimately feels like a long proof of concept or something. I think if they had baked it a little longer, it wouldn't be so doughy. All of this is based of the demo (which is the first level) so take this with a grain of salt. Think I'll just wait until it's $20 or less. Definitely not worth $40. Also not the best handheld FPS I've played (has the best controls hands down though).
For all the US vita owners some good psp games got added to psn today as well : PSP Astro Boy: The Video Game Ben 10 Alien Force Ben 10 Alien Force: Vilgax Attacks Ben 10: Protector of Earth Ben 10 Ultimate Alien: Cosmic Destruction Despicable Me: The Game echochrome echoshift Everyday Shooter flOw Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier Killzone: Liberation King of Pool LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 LittleBigPlanet LocoRoco LocoRoco 2 LocoRoco: Midnight Carnival No Gravity: The Plague Of Mind Parappa the Rapper Patapon Patchwork Heroes Secret Agent Clank The Secret Saturdays: Beasts of the 5th Sun SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo Minis Battle Poker
Have I have been playing single player more than 6 hours now and I have to say story isn't bad at all. If you are resistance fan or want to give a try to FPS games, this game is awesome. More you go, you unlock badass guns and more different ways to upgrade them, and intel tells you hidden messages. This game probably worth $40
Another game to add to my upcoming Vita games list: Introducing Snapshot, Coming to PS Vita and PS3 This Fall – PlayStation Blog
Just retrieved my online pass for Resistance and I can't seems to connect! Tried to matchmaker into any game mode and I time out. Anyone manage to get online?
Played through the demo again, and I have to say, it really grows on you. Think I enjoyed it more the second time than the first. I think people need to lower their expectations- it seems most reviewers are bummed that it really didn't push the Vita very far and that it's much more capable than this. Probably will pick it up eventually. Hopefully they release DLC or something that improves it, as well as some patches.
Just finished the game and this is far best the console FPS games on hand held device ever. People say story line is boring but I quite enjoyed it. Compare nova 3 to this game? Pff.... Bunch of losers and haters Go and play the game, it's totally worth $40
When does the game pick up? I'm finding it extremely boring. I just entered the tunnel and i'm struggling to continue playing. I'm not used to the touch implementation on some of the weapons and alternate weapons, they really seem counterproductive whilst in combat. Which hand do I take off the controls, movement or looking? :\ Sound could be improved, theres a real lack of sound effects thus far, and the sound track could be a little more dramatic and chaotic considering whats going on. These are just little issues I have, pretty much "polish" which definitely goes a long way on games we've become conditioned to. Lastly, the duck&cover mechanics aren't as good as Unit13's. Not that they're necessary in an FPS where you can just circle strafe, but if you're going to implement it -- implement it right.
Just bought Resistance but now I don't know if I want to open it :/ I guess I'll download the demo first and try it out. And Yay! I get to download Killzone: Liberation and LittleBigPlanet on the Vita.
Tried the demo of resistance and i am glad that i did because i saved 45 euros . That thing is horrible which is a shame because the vita is ideal for handheld fps . First of all the graphics are awful and N.O.V.A 3 (at least on ipad2) absolutely destroys that ugly mess . Damn the textures are nasty . Only the lighting and shadows are good but i always find the texture quality in a game far more important when it comes to visual fidelity . The sound is also a joke, how on earth could they not nail the freakin sound effects in a fps ?? The controls are also bad with the touchscreen elements being particularly distracting . The gameplay seems (since i've only tried the demo) boring and unispired. No wonder this is getting destroyed in reviews (only some diehard sony fanboys are defending it) , sony must try much harder with the vita , this thing needs games and i mean exclusives not handheld versions of console games .
Sorry i haven't played mortal kombat , but the graphics in resistance are terrible , in fact i couldn't believe what i was seeing on my vita screen from a sony 1st party game !!!
To add to the confusion here is one review that gave Resistance a perfect 10 out of 10 I'm about ready to give up online reviews I just don't know which ones to trust. Resistance Burning skies review
