damn thats kinda crazy, wish i had money to order some right now, theres a bunch of decent games low priced there.

[Mysterio]

lol, you know you'd do the same shit if the shoe was on the other foot Mysterio.

You can't blame Ertyu, not like he persuaded someone intent on getting a PS3, to change their mind and purchase a 360. These people are on the fence, and Ertyu led them to what he believed was the better choice. How can he be a fanboy if he's looking to buy a 40GB PS3?

Actually no, I wouldn't.

I did say Izembo explained the proper approach.

Those deals were all mistakes, and have since been fixed.

Walmart's policy states that they have the right to cancel any order if there is a mistake in the system... you didn't really expect this to work right? They'd be losing money if they would be selling it at 20 dollars.

I ordered one. It was worth a shot.

[Exoduso]

It was, but shit like this happened before with other websites so I knew better than wasting my time.

It's always worth a shot in my book. If they end up canceling my order, then meh, at least I tried. If not, then I just saved myself $50 on games I would have gotten anyways.

RESISTANCE 2 REVEALED! 60man MP, 8p Co-op..etc

-One campaign focusing on Nathan Hale across USA, 1 player
-One separate story based campaign supporting 2 players offline, 8 players Online
-Online Multiplayer (dedicated servers) supporting 60 people, lobbies for individual squads
-Classes for online, templates include Heavy, Special Ops, Medic
-New vehicles including Chameleon (Stalker with cloak)
-Partial randomized geometry in level spots
-Insane stat tracking coupled with MyResistance.net

RESISTANCE 2

HUGE cooperative game... EIGHT-PLAYER story-driven campaign along side single-player campaign. SIXTY-PLAYER Competitive modes... HUGE United States Landscapes as backdrops.

"It is, in short, a tour de force for the untapped might of the PlayStation 3"

Narrative stays with Hale the whole time... not Rachel. Hale shot down in Iceland, escapes to US and becomes part of program called Sentinels...

Chameleon.. Stalker with total cloaking ability

Overcoming stigma that boss encounters don't work in FPS games..

Eight player coop over PSN, two player local

CLASSES! Unique character with one of three basic templates... tank with heavy weaponry, special ops for distance (bullseye modified with zoom), medic

Online matching... standard difficulty discarded for scaled challenges for team skill..

Partially randomized geometry... levels are different with each playthrough

Again... 60 players online. want sense of epic b attle.. dont want fast-furious gameplay to be focus, more focused on squad v squad.

Will log into smaller four-to-eight man lobbies for each squad... encouraging communication and camaraderie, squad will be tasked witha particular objective. careful level design aims to deliver intense combat zones or small team conflicts that flow within arena of larger battle.

Dedicated gaming community with stat servers for faster matchmaching than any console game of 2007. full-featured profile pages through myresistance.net will incorporate social networking concepts. open clan and party system to encourage community...no player invites needed.

Aiming to deliver mobile-phone-quality sound.

Futher tapped power of PS3... more enemies onscreen, better AI, better lighting and shaders (SCREENSHOTS LOOK AMAZING!!!). More comples normal mapping and detail mapping combine to deliver textures that look amazing from afar and at extremely close distances.

AI getting a lot more attention.. will scaled on-the-fly to players perspective and viewpoint... aka enemies cloesr to the player will actually have more spohisicated AI routines than those further away. assailants in your direct field of view received heightened intelligence. easily more cunning than before

Listened to complaints... working on solution to long checkpoints and health system. not positive what final solution will be.

"Our time playing was a blast"... each character class contributes in a unique way and "we loved the strategy-laden medic"... unique sense of teamwork

Mysterious "Cloven"

"Resistance 2 will be too epic to dismiss as anything but one of the biggest, boldest, and most high-reaching titles of 2008. It's a game that won't be ignored." [END ARTICLE]

RELEASE: FALL 2008

[Mysterio]

[Exoduso]

way to kill the questionnnnnnnnnnn

seriously though, does it carry a "fall of" subtitle too?

and wow @ 8 player co op campaign... hope it's not too much of a clusterfuck because it sounds awesome.

[Mysterio]

who fucking cares what the subtitle is

the subtitle should be Resistance: 60 man multiplayer 8 player co-op

lol.

[Mysterio]

I personally was never a fan of the story setting of this game, the whole WW2 inclusion turned me right off to begin with (even though it had a twist on events to say the least). But we all know it turned out to be a very solid game.

It'll be interesting to see if they can pull these multiplayer feats. Insomniac was very stubborn about making sure they had the smoothest running multiplayer possible with the first installment, so one would believe the same will hold true for their sequel. I'm sure they'll be able to do it, but not so sure if it'll keep the same quality.

I wanna see more, lol

[Semitry]

The first Resistance 1 had 40 player MP right? How did that turn out? How long did matches take to get started and are 40 player matches available all the time? How long were the matches?
