I would much rather have a game with lesser graphics but more characters on screen.
There must have been 60+ Grim on screen at once in that alley. Its about time we have games where you take on more than 10 guys at once.
I'm also not too terribly concerned with environment/graphics/bland textures. If you played the first one, you know that it starts off typical, then gets nutty towards the end. My bet is that this is an early level (most demo vids are from early levels) and the action/complexity doesn't pick up until the halfway point.
I am looking forwards to this game.

60fps needs to become a STANDARD in next gen shooters.
But, this game does look sweet.

LAWL I have no idea what people are looking at, I dislike FPS with a passion and that sure looked good to me, and it had a work in progress print above it.
Granted I am not vouching for this game that it will be some be all to end all, but as video go it looked good to me. But like I said I don't like FPS that much so I don't keep up with the scene to say what looks better and what looks worse.

This game just seems to generic.
I'm starting to belive that the untapped potential of the PS3 won't be that much better than what we've gotten on the 360.
Resistance 2 looks a little trashy and yes I know this is a work in progress build but truly what more can they do? if the build aint wowing anyone what makes me think the actual game will. Which leads me to believe that resistance 2 still won't be ground breaking I mean if anyone seen MGS4 and COd4 on HD then go look at this it just looks like Resistance 1 again.
I've expressed my feelings about this game many times due to the fact that I want my opinion out there so ppl know that if the game comes back as an 8.5 atleast they'll know why it was that way.
Oh yeah and Sony focus on those JRPGs I need them or i'll quit having faith in your ability to produce the best RPGs i've seen.
FFXIII better come out this year or Q1 09.

Insomniac also has copied a lot of stuff such as
New backlash grenade looks a little familar like a bubble sheild why? the old one looked cool or maybe that is a bubble sheild rip off.
and I already stated the rest in the blogg post I made at PS3fanboy.

OK, but R1 was about before Halo with it's bubble shield. So you could actually argue that H3 copied R1. So how can you really rip off what you did first?
Really though, I don't think either one copied the other, but it's a bit absurd to say Insomniac is copying Halo when they had shield grenadges (of any type) before Halo.

@Vidikron (FU)
Oh yeah I know Resistance 1 came out first but what I was saying was
that Resistance 2
I'm assuming thats a backlash grenade looks alittle bit too much like Halo's Bubble Shield really its only real difference has to be color everythng else looks alittle too much like that Bubble Sheild
My problem is that what if its not a Backlash Grenade but some completely different that they've thought up or should I say copied.
I'm sorry but once they started all this Squad based foolishness and Two weapon system I got mad
There is no point for Squad based battles unless your talking Meltdown or CTF but it seems they wanna include that in every team based thing like Team Deathmatch where the only objective is to kill the other team hopefully they don't but the way they brag about seems like a big possibility.
I'm starting to think they only meant that Squad based thing for Objective team based battles
But Anyways the two weapon system is trash I mean its Sci Fi why do I care if its realistic I mean for all I know they've mad tech that allows you to do this and plus its too much like Halo.

Calm down folks, this isn't the final version. They still might touch up the graphics before it hits retail. I try to keep on the positive side. :)

Doesn't look too bad to me.

Okay, I am dissappointed, very badly.
That looked almost worse than Resistance 1, and the ragdoll was equal to a crappy freeware game, what in the world happened to the mind blowing visuals of the teaser trailer?
It just lacks a sense of polish in everything, I actually replayed the vid, twice, just to make sure I wasnt looking well enough.
Delay please, DELAY PLEASE.

yea i figured it was just my crappy SD DirecTv signal that was making the graphics look bad when i watched it on G4 the other day, but after downloading the HD vids i wasnt really impressed with 2 out of 3. the Chicago vid looked great overall but the poor ragdoll physics where the most glaring issue past the graphics.

Looks simple but potentially fun.
8 player coop is what keeps this game on my radar, that and potentially massive single player battles.
This demo looks really premature and an overall very poor indicator of everything I've read/heard about that game.
But I have no problem with enemies en masse. Not enough games do that anymore anyway.

the Chicago video looks fantastic but the other two leave much to be desired, especially the multiplayer vid which looks way worse than the first game. hopefully the other two vids where taken from early builds of the game cause if they have to sacrifice that much graphically to have 60 players then im cool with 40 like they had last time. i only really played 16-24 player CTF at Somerset on the first one anyway, and that was loads of fun (i may fire it up tomorrow for old times sake).
i was all gung-ho about the 60 player before too but now it just looks like too much going on to actually be fun. im sure there will be plenty of matches with less than 60 players though of course. i guess they still have plenty of time to tighten up the graphics though since its not due for a couple more months now anyway. here's hoping they work on that multiplayer more than anything. Insomniac hasnt let me down yet so i hope they dont start now.

I really don't know why so many people are knocking this for its graphics. They do enough don't act like they're PS2 era. Now this game looks really fun to play aside from one thing I couldn't shake.. It is exactly like COD4. Just the design of the game, holding off enemies with your squad, pickiung up the sniper right where you need it to be, the multiplayer maps, it just seems exactly like COD4

RFoM1 looked like crap and this was from me before owning a PS3. But you play it and you enjoy it. It's still visually dull. But the size in scale is impressive
In a shorter timespan than GeOW2 let alone that joke of a game Halo 3, 360 cheerleeders expect R2 to be like OMFGWTFBBQ!...? MAYBE IF THIS GAME HAS 3 YRS DEV TIME.
And btw way, COD4 is still better looking visually than all 360 games as well as ps3s.

I love the look of the story, but I am sadly underwhelmed by the gameplay trailer.
I've only played Gears of War twice on my cousin's 360, and to me, it still looks way more bad-ass than this.
Even Gear's in-game graphics looks better than R2's cinematic.
