New Resistance 2 footage hits YouTube

by Randy Nelson { Jul 1st 2008 at 1:25PM }

PS3 Fanboy brings word that a new slice of Resistance 2 footage has popped up on YouTube after appearing on (then disappearing from) Eurogamer TV. If you want a fresh look at Sony's big FPS for the fall, watch it while it's hot. There's a good chance this instance of the video will get pulled soon as well.

Update: We have removed the embedded YouTube player as a courtesy to Sony. (It's still up on YouTube though!)

Screengrabbing video in case it gets pulled. That way I could reupload it for people.

As for the game itself: I LOVE twitch shooters and this game seriously makes me jealous of the PS3 owners.

Boy With Balls on Chin @ Jul 1st 2008 1:35PM

Damn I cant wait!!

xFenixKnightx @ Jul 1st 2008 1:38PM

This isn't a twitch shooter and this isn't in-game footage or cutscenes. Why are they using CG?

Heh @ Jul 1st 2008 1:42PM

Last game I recall to use CG and be this close to final production was Haze.

daaWick @ Jul 1st 2008 1:51PM

that is not CG. Insomniac has been saying it is all in game.

Trev @ Jul 1st 2008 1:57PM

There's CG at the beginning (the flag part) and at the end (the teaser that's now over a month old) but the stuff in between looks like in-engine. The water isn't perfect and there are some flat sides on the plants.

xFenixKnightx @ Jul 1st 2008 2:04PM

Dude, c'mon open your eyes. THIS IS CG! I dont care what Insominac sais or what their track record of solid games are. I say 'solid games' because they have yet to make a mega-hit a la GTAIV/COD4/Gears/Halo/MG. R&C series is solid but it is not mind blowing perfect 10's, get everyone talking about it, kinda game.

Honestly I know its still in dev but the MP in R2 looks like a COD4 clone. Yes I know its gonna have a lot of player on at once but for what? They will have specific agendas through out that game and you really will never see alllll those players in that match. Its Overhyped just like Insomciac.

IMO, R1 was just okay, if it would have been multiplat when it first debuted it would have already been forgotten but because its an *exclusive* it gets more attn.

xFenixKnightx @ Jul 1st 2008 2:14PM

Trev, ok I see 1 maybe 2 *flashes of in-game footage. 98% CG and 2% in game. Shouldn't they be showing more in-game by now?

Noshino @ Jul 1st 2008 2:25PM

Its overhyped? Insomniac?...

Actually, they used to be underrated by gamers, it wasn't until now long ago that they are releasing more titles more often that they are getting the acclaim that they deserve...

Hell, they have been actually quite famous inside the video game business...to the point in which they are considered one of the best studios to work for...

"I dont care what Insominac sais or what their track record of solid games are."

There are 2 things to expect from Insomniac

1) they will not show much CG, most if not all of the videos that they make available are in game, probably not gameplay, but on the engine.

2) They don't delay their games, I have yet to hear of one delay that they have had...

"IMO, R1 was just okay, if it would have been multiplat when it first debuted it would have already been forgotten but because its an *exclusive* it gets more attn."

I can do the same and name quite a few 360 titles that just get attention due to the fact that they are exclusive...

Boy With Balls on Chin @ Jul 1st 2008 2:40PM

Fenix, this isnt CG. CG is much smoother. This was definitely created in engine. Even the flag scene is in engine.

Rodrigo @ Jul 1st 2008 2:41PM

"IMO, R1 was just okay, if it would have been multiplat when it first debuted it would have already been forgotten but because its an *exclusive* it gets more attn."

hahahahahaha Fenix, Resistace is the best game i ever played! no other shooter got me in to shooting games like resistance did, not even Halo, Socom or any other game. the only shooting games that i played before resistace was resident evil and GTA games. but resistance in my opinion was perfect story and online, because people have to admid that online is awesome. well resistance is not an "ok" game ok.!

xFenixKnightx @ Jul 1st 2008 2:42PM

Damnit Noshino, I just want to reach in my PC and slap you sometimes. How did I know you were going to be the one to reply to me. You talk as if you have Insomniacs guidelines to making a game. Just Save it dude. I might listen to a reply from Duke/BabySeaT/Deaftly or even Sheppy isn't as blind as you but not from someone like you who still defends HAZE to this day.

* hard sigh

xFenixKnightx @ Jul 1st 2008 2:44PM

@ Boy With Balls for Brains

No, just no!

Rodrigo @ Jul 1st 2008 2:50PM

lol take dat because out lol

Boy With Balls on Chin @ Jul 1st 2008 2:55PM

@ Fenix Knight

Holy shit dude. That thing you did with the name of that butters character from that one southpark episode is awesome.

Wow, I mean, thats just amazing right there. Holy hell I would just put LMAO but it doesnt describe how funny you are. So funny. And smart too. Funny and smart and cool.

Vcize @ Jul 1st 2008 2:56PM

Calling R1 mediocre is very generous.

Maybe it's because I got my PS3 after the games drought so R1 didn't get automatic praise from me due to their being so few other games worth playing, but man did I just find that game substandard by shooter standards.

It's one of only three games this entire generation that I bought and didn't bother finishing, and I buy a LOT of games.

Paul (PSN: heypaul) @ Jul 1st 2008 3:04PM

Trev's seemingly the only one whose got a decent pair of eyes here. It's two slices of CG bread sandwiching a not so meaty in-engine cutscene. And Fenix, all this is is marketing material created to generate excitement. It's really not so different from say, the Mad World Gears of War CG TV spot. If you want actual gameplay coverage (which, admittedly, I think looks rather underwhelming), take a look at the GTTV episode from June 13 when they visited Burbank.

KingOfGods @ Jul 1st 2008 3:13PM

I have to agree with Fenix. I own R1 and never really understood why it received so much attention. there really wasn't anything special about it. Mediocre at best.

Noshino,
is there any post here on Joystiq where you are not jumping to the defense of your beloved PS3? relax man play the games and system you like. you don't have to get so defensive whenever someone doesn't like something about the PS3 or it's games.

yeah this is probably one of the stupidest comments i've ever heard. saying a studio is a failure because they have yet to make a game which is one of the top 10 selling games of all time? do you even understand how stupid this is?

"yeah allen iverson (or insert any athelete you choose) is not that great, because he isn't one of the top 5 of all time"

now do u understand how stupid that is?

xFenixKnightx @ Jul 1st 2008 3:14PM

@Heypaul

Yes, I saw that show and thats where I got my COD4 clone opinion from. I mean, the game actually looked terrible. I know theres a lot of time left so it will get better but excuse me for not pissing my pants with this game just yet.

@Boy With Balls on Chin

Thanks, I try ;) jk man, honestly...my bad. I just did that outta frustration. I apologize.

@Vcize

Exactly, I rented the game too and was not impressed. Maybe because I had aleady played much better quality? Its a very standard shooter, nothing special which is why they are changing the whole game around for part 2.

xFenixKnightx @ Jul 1st 2008 3:18PM

"saying a studio is a failure"

You fail good Sir I said they are very "solid". Overhyped by these fanboys, but very solid none-the-less.

Anticrawl @ Jul 1st 2008 3:41PM

The footage was rendered with the in-game engine in real time. The stuff you saw in the video you won't play, but will do the standard "zoom out from cutscene and into character transition" that the industry has become so fond of. Basically what you should take away from this is after the cinimatic at 1:11 which is probably taken directly from the game you will take control of the character and the game itself will look much like what you saw. Kinda like the opening scene in Bioshock.

Now the final game, well who knows how good it will be. I personally am hoping for the best but wish Insomniac would give up this FPS theme and create a new platformer. We have plenty of shooters, we need new platformers.

Paul (PSN: heypaul) @ Jul 1st 2008 4:16PM

@Fenix

Hey, I'm right there with you, man. I don't think the game looks too spectacular; I was just pointing out that episode since they've got a good ten minutes or so of actual in-game footage.

Jacksons @ Jul 1st 2008 6:01PM

@Fenix

Did the guys at Insomniac kick your puppy or something?

Shagittarius @ Jul 1st 2008 6:19PM

All games are 100% CG.

What I think you guys are arguing about is 'Pre-rendered CG". 'Pre-rendered' being the key term.

Vidikron (FU) @ Jul 1st 2008 8:40PM

Personally, I loved R1. Nothing groundbreaking, but the gameplay was solid and the weapon selection sets it apart from most shooters these days. I really think you need to play the game in co-op to truly appreciate it though. I was unimpressed the first time I played, but after I played some co-op I loved it. I've played through the game completely in co-op 4 or 5 times. I've not done with any other game this generation... well, maybe Gears. It's a great co-op experience too.

LAdubbz45 @ Jul 1st 2008 1:40PM

boooooooooooooo!

j.howlett @ Jul 1st 2008 1:41PM

wow. was that a hand/claw coming through the wall? i feel a need to see more now

Titanium_Orchid @ Jul 1st 2008 1:49PM

I think it was a giant worm thing.

Lekko @ Jul 1st 2008 3:25PM

TREMORS

Chris @ Jul 1st 2008 1:48PM

You haven't seen what we're truly capable of. Awesome.

Titanium_Orchid @ Jul 1st 2008 1:51PM

Damn it. Now I'm excited for this game again.

The gameplay footage really makes me want to stay away from this game but the cut scene looks so good! Guess I'll have to wait for the demo to drop.

Boy With Balls on Chin @ Jul 1st 2008 2:42PM

You looked at multiplayer gameplay before. I'm sure the single player campaign will be very visually pleasing.

gabe @ Jul 1st 2008 2:01PM

and that is how you make a kick ass trailer

Yianni @ Jul 1st 2008 2:02PM

Wow, I'm sorry, but this is going to far down the raod of Halo now with the story. Reminds me too much of Gravemind and how the Arc was on Earth. I need something better than youtube quality in order to pass judgement.

tmacairjordan87 @ Jul 1st 2008 4:48PM

Halo had a story? I don't remember one in 3...

Rodrigo @ Jul 1st 2008 2:26PM

come on i want this game already!!!!! let the battle begin: Nathan Hale vs. Marcus!. Sgt. Hale is going to win!!!!!!

Jack @ Jul 1st 2008 2:32PM

Words from James Stevenson (Insomniac Community Relations Manager) himself over at myresistance.net forums...

"VERY OLD TRAILER.
This is the same pre-vis trailer that the Iceland footage was a part of.
This does not represent any sort of current work, and this was completed in late 2007.
JS"

So guys please, don't go apes**t over its quality, and for those of you saying you don't like the gameplay in this trailer, open your freaking eyes, THERE IS NONE!

gabe @ Jul 1st 2008 3:05PM

what the fuck is the point of an internal trailer?

Jack @ Jul 1st 2008 3:53PM

The point?

The point is that people in the gaming industry can share their work with each other and have fun without stupid little customers bad mouthing their products before they are finished and ready for release.

browntown @ Jul 1st 2008 2:59PM

This game is gonna be awesome, especially since its gonna be a bit more tactical

KingOfGods @ Jul 1st 2008 3:15PM

God I hate the comment system...am I doing something wrong?

This is to finally help post my previous comment.

COKTOE @ Jul 1st 2008 5:14PM

Loved the first one.Thr trailer for R2 looks amazing to me.And I gotta say Fenix,it looks in-game to me.

Titanium_Orchid @ Jul 1st 2008 5:26PM

This game needs more chainsaws attached to firearms.

LaughingTarget @ Jul 1st 2008 7:36PM

I'm probably not going to bother with it just because it looks like it is set in New Fucking York. I'm am sick of that city being overused in games, it's a freaking cliche. 98% of America and 99.9% of the world lives in a place not called New York, try using a different setting. Maybe Chicago, Denver, Dallas, Atlanta or maybe Seattle. Or even outside America you can try Rio, Sydney, Bangkok, or Johannesburg. Anything but yet another game set in New York.

Dwag @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:35AM

Finally I'm seeing people who aren't sucking Resistance 2 off. I don't hate RFOM but its a clone it copied probably the only thing fully original were its weapons. Gamespot might give this a nine and GT might gives this a nione but in reality its a 8.5 part 1 should have been an 8 for no online coop.

Insomniac neds to go back to what they do best Platformers and maybe whip out another Spyro there spyros were the best of the lot. I love Rachet and Clank they need to go back and focus fully on them. I'd like it better if they were the ones making an open world game instead of Sucker Punch.

Dwag @ Jul 2nd 2008 1:18AM

I'm again gonna sound like I hate Resistance but the narration in the trailer reminds of Gears of War a lot I'm sorry but I can't lie that Narration sounds too much like the Locust Queen during the MP matches in Gears and at the Ending of story mode.
