The beta was impressive graphically. These new PS3 games seem to have good stuff going on. LBP and Killzone are also pretty stunning looking.

As pretty as it looks, I hope they inject some fun into the single player. To be perfectly honest, the campaign was a chore. And there was me thinking Halo was repetitive.

 

Either make a good go at it, or just go "online-only." Simple, no?

Can someone explain to me more about betas please? Like exactly what they are and when they come out and stuff. I want one, especially for the 3 games mentioned above because I am almost certain on buying them and I need 1to1 reassurance.

 

^Well I thought the campaign was good but at moments there was just too many of the same enemy, get onto the good stuff more and reduce the length slightly and it would be great.

I don't really know anything about betas, so I'm just replying to the second part of your post. I did like some of it, but it just felt really...samey. I didn't really feel immersed with the game, like I didn't truely believe I was part of a battle or huge war.

Yeah, maybe FPS campaigns are wearing thin now that there have been so many, or maybe this was just missing something. I didn't like the woman narrator (Clarke?) because she sounded annoying. At least they have got rid of her for the second game. Thing is the story was just sort of clumped together, like she was explaining the conversion centres and spires in a matter-of-fact way, as though they'd been around before.

Betas basically are a 'demo' in a way in advance to a game being released. However they are not called a demo coz not everyone can play on them. Different games have diff way of getting on the beta. The 'select few'. Not all games have betas.

 

For example i got an e-mail of sony inviting me to the Motorstorm 2 beta. I got this completly at random and i was just 'lucky'. They sent me a e-mail with a code that i claimed on the playstation shop and it would let me download it. I also noticed GAME are offering the beta for Call of Duty on the 360 (not PS3) if u pre-order the game with them.

 

It depends on the company on how they give out betas, some might do it in a competition for example.

 

Hope that helps!

Halo is repetitive, but the actions you're repeating — meleeing an enemy in the back, sticking a grenade to someone, throwing a Warthog around corners, etcetera — are fun. Resistance: FoM's fundamental problem was that the enemies weren't engaging, and whilst there was a vast array of weapons on offer there was little point to any of them, as despite being ostensibly very diverse they all had near enough the same effectiveness in combat.

 

To be honest what I've seen of R2 isn't inspiring much confidence in me, but on the other hand not much has been shown of the campaign. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it will be a solid enough shooter — 7/10 fodder — but I've yet to play a great Insomniac game. I hope they can prove me wrong, but despite the clear technical talent the studio has I consider them a reliable source of 'good' games, titles worth picking up when you've a £20 note burning a hole in your pocket.

Resistance 2 should be a safe sequel. Beta seemed promising. Insomniac were taking alot of feedback which was nice. Given the time they had for R2 I expect it to be fine. R1 had alot of great bits but lacked some polish despite a nice meaty story mode and multiplayer.

Well just finished Resistance Fall of Man. Promised myself I would get it done before the october onslaught so I am ready for the november release of R2.

 

I think it is a good solid game. But for some reason certainly in the mid part of the game there was a lack of suspense and scale. I think the first few levles and the London stage helped bring it up a notch though.

 

One thing about Halo (it seems an obvious title to compare it to for a number of reasons) is that the core mechanic is similar and repeated in the game over and over again. Its basically the same 10-20 seconds of gunplay reiterated over the span of the whole game in different situations and because that balance and gameplay is so good it works.

 

Resistance doesn't seem to have that same balance, it's hard to explain but sometimes it does have fantastic shoot outs, whereas other times it relys on cheap tricks such as monster closets and obscure enemy placements.

 

I do love the story though and can't wait to see where it goes. The sequel looks awesome. Just watched the 1up Show from last week and I love the sound o the perks system like CoD 4 that allows you to acquire points no matter what mode you play and it can actually benefit you if you get them through all 3 modes. means you will still be helping out your multiplayer chances by progressing in the single player and co op.

Well played a fair bit of this with cookyman tonight. Thank god my mic actually worked this time! I was beginning to get worried! Especially when the XMB chatroom wouldn't work!

 

Had a few co-op games, first 2 player then an 8 player. The result was always the same we got slaughtered! Then had some deathmatches same happened we didn't to well there are some super human players out there...

 

I love the party system...you can get people together and then just follow each other around through various matches and it works like a dream...I am in love with this game.

 

I need to get playing bioshock so I have completed that before Fallout 3 hits and then have enough time to get into that (don't expect to complete it for a very long time!) before this hits.
