Resistance 2, your thoughts?

RESISTANCE 2 FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!

2. there are rumors that there will be a FULLY AUTOMATIC SNIPER!! if that isn't awesome then nothing is!

Welcome to Counter-Strike.
Also for the MMOFPS/RPG I'd say they'd need about the same, maybe the FPS one more because more action is going across the screen.

FPS's require lots more. The server has to track where people are aiming, what they're firing and, if the gun is a projectile tracked rather than hitscan weapon, it has to track the bullet fired. That's quite a lot of information.

That being said massive player matches have been done before. I'm not sure if it can be done peer to peer though.

As for a fully auto sniper. Meh. Takes all the skill out of it.

The thieved medigun sounds good though.

Also heard a rumour about a minigun, anything true in that?

They always have a minigun. In this one, the Hailstorm has been replaced by an unnamed minigun that either projects a shield out in front of the shooter and around the barrel (possibly reverse engineered from the Auger rifle) that actually moves with it, allowing more protection while the shooter blows the crap out of your opponents, or actually plants a permanent shield in front of you. In either case I do know that it is the Alt-fire, and it is powered by your kills.

No, slowing down time does that.

I don't think they took it out of the multiplayer modes for balance reasons.

I WANT MY OWN AUTOMIC SNIPER!!
And yeah slowing down time take the skills out of it, good you can't use it in multiplayer then.

Slowing down time?

yeah, the focus really was cheap, and anyone who doesn't think so, why do you think that? and if you say the enemie kept goin in and out of cover, thats not an excuse, just put the reticle where his head is going to be

R2 is really beinging to look like the epic game that the PS3 has been waiting for, for so... so, long

You hope. I loved the first game, but how many games have been a disappointment on some level with the PS3? GTA, MGS, SC4. None have blown me away like I'd hoped. The only game that makes the PS3 worth having is WARHAWK.

I got so freakin' scared of the first one and never finished it(sounded like a five yeah old....)but i think that Resistance 2 will be the gears of war 2 for Ps3

But its actually ' bigger '. Gears of war 2 just adds people into the background that make you think your having combat with them.

 

[demon lord 2037]

resistance is one of the best ever b #2 is going to be even better

 

[this_was_a_mistake]

i wish i had a ps3.

RE2 is going to rock. I find it funny that in the initial reviews they criticized RE:FOM's simplistic story, when it's really one of the most intriguing and best parts of the game. If you pay attention, not only does it make perfect sense, it's very well thought out, and in fact, scary.

Well hands down Resistance 2 is gonna be the best FPS this year (Mainly cause it seems to be the only FPS this year - its competition are Turok and Turning Point: Fall of Liberty, both of which vie for the spot as worst FPS ever made). It also has sufficient potential and already known information to make it the best Shooter this year. Will it top MGS IV and LittleBigPlanet to make Game of the Year? Who can say?

Hardly.

Not only do we have the new battlefield this year (you failed to mention that one) we also have; Legendary, the new call of Duty game, Huxley, Left4dead, Mirrors edge, Crysis Warhead and Farcry 2.

As for game of the year? Your shortlist is laughable. LBP looks good but it's hardly the only horse in the race. You're forgetting Fable 2, Gears of War 2, farycry 2 (again), Fallout 3, silent hill homecoming et-god-damn-cetera

Its pretty, but I haven't played it so I won't form an opinion and if you form one and haven't played it you are an idiot because making a pretty game is easy nowadays. Its like the people who nerdgasm over new final fantasy games when their first announced despite knowing nothing about the gameplay or the characters or anything but just seeing a TRAILER..

Mirrors Edge is NOT a first person shooter. Just because a game takes place from the first person perspective doesn't make it an FPS. Still, I might not call it the BEST shooter of the year, but I'm still psyched for it.
