Wow. I was surprised at how bad that looked! Even my buddy, who was psyched about the game based on the features alone, just called me after watching the trailer (in HD) telling me how he couldn't believe it "looks like ass". It's amazing to be on the opposite spectrum. Have you not played MGS4? Now *that* looks amazing!

I'm missing it, what looks so bad? Textures look good, weapons and interface look good. Nothing blew me away, but I'm not seeing what's so bad about it. Fill me in.

You're right. Bad by itself is not the right description. I mean bad compared to the hype and bad compared to other games like COD4, MGS4, etc. Perhaps "extremely un-wowed" would be a better way to put it, or "at least it's better than Haze".

Exactly...this game looks pretty disgusting if you're looking at from the graphics perspective (which a lot of sony fanboys tend to do).

To me it looks as good graphics-wise as Call of Duty 4 multiplayer on consoles. Which means 'above average to good'. 'Amazing' being reserved for the most graphically impressive PC games ;)
It looks 'arcadey' in feel, which cheapens the look somewhat, but graphics wise it looks fine to me. I don't know why you guys are making such a fuss.

No wonder they can brag about 60 player online, it looks like crap.
Just from this footage alone this is enough to say NO THANKS. Just another mediocre shooter.

Well, based on your comment history one can tell that you don't like Sony, so why bother with you...

Troll attempt?
No ones trolling. Your weak, poor visioned opinion differs from mine. Doesnt make me or anyone else that is not as easily impressed as you are, trolls. So I am sorry you can not take criticism of someone who disagrees with you without resorting to the "troll" or "hater" response. Moron

You really think that looks visually stunning?
Or even remotely fun. Looked like Doom on my old PC. Not horrible. But not breath taking.
Just another FPS...with aliens albeit.

What games do you consider "visually" stunning? I would love to know. And please please please don't say Halo 3.

MGS4 for one
Gears 2 looks incredible so far. The few scenes of gameplay that Cliffy B showed a few weeks ago looked awesome. Even Ninja Gaiden 2 looks better than that...
But hey its just an opinion. Obviously I'm not going to change yours and you're not going to change mine. Its more for the others out there.

60 player games mean jack unless they can successfully have a map large enough with a decent amount of playing methods to make it fun. Deathmatch was the shit 10 years ago, but that day has come and gone. Having 60 people run around playing some halo slayer bullshit isn't worth the trouble.

Gears of War.Or as a matter of fact any game made on UE3(uff...in before SDF)
I wouldn't call R2 ugly but it's definitely bland compared to Killzone 2.
But then again, hey it's only resistance. It's not trying to reinvent the genre or anything.I'd probably check this out just for the sake of Multiplayer.

COD4 anyone?
I mean COD4 came out last year and looks better than this....both in terms of graphics and gameplay.
@ danger
60 people sounds like a clusterfuck of insanity. So much for any type of coordination or team effort.

No wonder this guy is owning, everybody is running around like is the safest thing to do.
Squad leader: Let's rush 'em!
Soldier:I don't think this is a good plan Sir, lets flank 'em instead.
Squad leader:No,no, trust me this is a good plan just follow me and you'll be fine, this guy is a noob anyway.

I can't believe how many people are in love with these trailers. Seriously people. The game looks awful graphically. I prefer my PS3 to my 360 any day of the week, so there's no fanboism here.. Open your eyes...it looks BAD.

I agree with the statements that this trailer does not "wow" me at all.
Having said that, my most played game of all time is DICE's Battlefield 2. I play almost exclusively the 64 player city maps, and it's awesome. It's safe to say that BF2 pales in comparison to this, graphics wise.
I don't have a PS3, but if I did, I'd give this a go for the multiplayer aspect alone.
It may hit, it may miss, but it would be worth a shot.

Single player looks entertaining. I definately had an "oh shit" moment when the "grim" came pouring out.
Multiplayer looks like a mess (this is coming from someone who plays COD4 in Hardcore modes because regular modes are to chaotic). Either that or watching someone dominate "easy-mode" AI is just not entertaining.

LMAO...how is trolling. He's simply stating his opinion on the game which I think any neutral person out there would agree with.
This game doesn't look like incredible.
Quite simply it comes across as any other FPS. Guns. Running. Shooting.

You seriously think Killswitch Engage is a low standards band? You can not like them but not liking them has nothing to do with standards. The band, for nearly anyone who likes rock or hard rock, is one of the best out there. Their albums are great and their live shows are awesome.

No matter how much premature Asshat tries to hide from his legacy of idiocy it just catches up to him time after time. CLASSIC.
As far as the game goes ... It looks pretty fun to me but why don't we wait until we actually see a final build or get to play it before passing judgement. I know that is a crazy concept and all especially on this site.
For the most part what we were all seeing there was multiplayer gameplay and it did not appear to have any lag issues from the videos. Another novel concept is judging a game on more than just looks alone. For example, I own both Haze and Halo 3 and I had more fun playing Haze for 6 hours than I did playing Halo 3 for 6 months. Sometimes if we don't allow ourselves to get caught up into the hype and we have very little expectations going into a game they can surprise us. I am not trying to say that Haze is a better game than Halo 3 in ever sense of the word. I am just saying that I had more fun playing it. Take from that what you will.
This is obviously not the final build of Resistance II so lets just take a wait and see approach. I will say that I am certainly impressed with what I have seen thus far. I am also very impressed with Socom for the PS3 which will also be released this year. Not every game has to have hyper real graphics to be great.
MGS 4 is the first game to combine those great graphics with equally great gameplay. In my opinion it is the pinnacle of a video game achievement. It is borderline interactive entertainment and the level of immersion and emotion provoked by the game is unrivaled by any other title in history. It is the most cinematic experience ever sculpted in virtual space. Resistance can sit back and just be its self and not try to be something it is not. It is not Halo, MGS or COD 4 and it should not try to be.

Keep going killswitch because I'm enjoying catching your contradictions. You totally missed the point of what I was doing, and therefore fell into my trap.
"You seriously think Killswitch Engage is a low standards band? You can not like them but not liking them has nothing to do with standards."
STOP. Look at your previous comment responding to Imaginationland Warrior.
"You or any other clown that thinks this looks "sweeeeeet" or amazing, have very low standards"
So it's only low standards when it works in your favor. I was expecting a contradiction as big as this, but honestly I didn't expect it as early as 3 or so posts down. Well done there.
As for the rest of your killswitch comment, I almost feel sorry for you if you think they're a great "metal" band, cause nothing they play can hold a candle to any of the old greats. No one today seems to know what real metal is anymore. That is another discussion for another time though. I just really wanted to point out how stupid you were making yourself look.
