Wasn't looking forward to that game anyway

Cygnus, that's mean playing with Mr. Smith like that.

However, I can't wait to see Resistance and RR7 get reviewed.

ViperVenom18 · 11-08-2006, 06:02 PM

I saw video of Resistance in gameplay/motion.

It didn't really impress me all that much. I mean, it is a great looking game. However, it's all tinted in Sepia and the textures aren't up to par really. I'll give them credit this is their first gen game, but, it looks nowhere near, at all, Gears of War (I'm no fanboy on either side, just what I saw).

I hope the gameplay lives up to itself.

I have seen it in motion two and both games look identical. You can always cout on insomniac. I can't wait to play it.

Two? You mean Too.

No, the game does look mighty fine, nowhere near GoW though.

The constant sepia tint ruins the color of the game. I get the "mood" it is trying to portray, but it makes it look, well, we'll see soon.

I loved the first one, so i'll probably end up getting this too, next year sometime when the ps3 is actually stocked. As an aside to anyone that played the first one, Yoshitsune doesn't have those ridiculous pony tails anymore

you ever notice when someone comes with info that shows something bad about a ps3 game or the ps3 itself he comes with the same line type of line.

Below is gamespot's comments on the game:

6.4/10
While this action adventure game flexes a bit of the PlayStation 3's graphical muscle with its mythical Japanese scenery, its rather shallow, derivative gameplay makes it difficult to recommend.

The Good: Great graphics and sound show off some of what the PlayStation 3 can do; four considerably different playable characters plus multiple unique weapons; some exciting boss battles and other impressive set pieces.

The Bad: Level design is often dull, and sometimes frustrating and confusing; repetitive hack-and-slash combat rarely demands much skill or finesse; some noticeable cut corners throughout the story make the game feel rushed.

"Attacking its weak point for massive damage," eh?
