I know it's not a good thing to merge all the games in one thread, but I couldn't find a dedicated thread for the first 2 games. Since I have started Fall of Man and will soon hop onto it's sequel, I don't want to end up creating 2 different threads. So I pronounce this thread as the holy union of all the Resistance games. If anyone has any objections, speak now or forever hold your peace! :P

NO! Alrighty then! Let's get into it. I know it's way too late to play this age old game (which was probably the launch title for the PS3), but I don't see any reason why I can't enjoy it. ;)

Having played the demo (and enjoyed it), I definitely felt compelled in playing the full game. What I love about this game is that it's not run-n-gun, well it is, but very mildly. There is no HEALTH REGENERATION and thank Insomniac for that. It instantly makes the game more challenging, like the good 'ol Call of Duty. So you go blindly guns blazing and your ass is grass. I died around 3-4 times in the 'Alleyway' part of York level, which is just the beginning. The game definitely demands proper cover and shoot mechanism and for once, it's not the Gears of War cover system.

The final version looks much better to the lousy demo version. Demo had some serious blurring and tearing issues. But this is a bit sharper and decent looking. For the people who have played this game, how long is the SP campaign on Normal difficulty?
 
In the normal difficulty, the campaigns for both the games clocked roughly <10 hours. I vaguely recall I had completed the second title in 3 sittings since it happened to be a weekend. Was damn easy. I'd suggest you to go a notch above this difficulty if you want to prolong the gameplay.

Eagerly waiting for Resistance 3. :D
 
Cool! Does the first game have any huge boss fights like the second game? Even a few of them would be good.
 
Nope. none that I can recall of. Even the Chimera AI is pretty stupid. :P

The second game was very refined in terms of gameplay. Complete Fall of man quick. And grab Resistance: Retribution if you can or I can lend you my friend's copy (will ask him). That was another awesome game I had played on the PSP. :D
 
Aw shucks! I was hoping for some giant encounter. A game without giant boss battles is like a hooker without big boobs. :(

I have Retribution, but no PSP now. May be I'll grab it later, but Fall of Man is definitely going to be completed. Dead Space 2 is still 3 weeks away, so plenty of time to cover up both the Resistance titles and then some. :)
 
Resistance was so bad looking game that i couldn't play it but yeah Resistance 2 looked better, also i have got PS3 Real Trigger now so come on shooters

Play the first game NAW! One game at a time, that's the key. Better yet, start the first one and at least we'll have some activity in here. Else, I'll be spamming in here by myself, which isn't fun. :(

@Gannu: I'm ready when you guys are. Just waiting for Andy to get his hands on the copy.
 
finished Resistance 2 about a month ago. The wasn't very hard on difficult setting. just a few levels such as when you face 5 gigantic chimeras at once or such were WTF-ly hard. others were normal. one thing i noticed about resistance 2 is that some of the weapons are highly innovative and unique. i doubt you'll find them in any other game.
 
RFOM was a good game...as a launch title...when there were no title showcasing the PS3 capabilities :P

It didnt had any WTF moments but the 2nd game filled it in few pieces. Awaiting 3rd ;)
 
Reached 'Outgunned' part in Manchester level. I must admit, I'm having a lot of fun in this game, much more than expected, to be honest. It's a pity there are minimal boss encounters and enemy variety is just gradually increasing.

R:FOM is kinda boring IMO. If you loved playing R:FOM, you'll appreciate R2 a lot. :D
 
I didn't find it boring at all. The only downside is the graphical aspect. But since it was a launch title, I let that feeling slide away. Played it with my headphones ON and the sound effects were really good.
 
Done with the game. Man it was awesome. The stalker and Tank missions were a blast. I have to admit, this game has a creative set of arsenal. My least used gun must have been the XR-003 Sapper and the most used one would be M5A2 Carbine and Bullseye. L23 Fareye would be my favourite weapon, but it's a shame the ammo was very scarce. The last couple of rounds in London were very painful, with limited checkpoints and innumerable hybrids spawning across the area. The 2 of my worst enemies have to be Steelheads and Titans. Particularly hated Steelheads because of their Auger rifles, which could easily penetrate through the walls and making the fight that much more challenging. The lady who voiced Rachel Parker was brilliant. Her speech and clarity must have been the best I have ever heard till now. A clear British accent. Does she make an appearance in the sequel, by an chance?
 
^Nope Rachel isn't featured on R2.

I thought your PS3 must be in a Sony service centre. Played it using the composite video out?
 
Unfortunately, YES and it was not a pleasant experience, mind you. I was about to drop off my PS3 yesterday, but held it back since my brother had to complete God of War II and I had to complete this game. So will send it off this weekend.
 
I have been playing Resistance 2 the game just feels boring no proper finding doesn't help... or may be i'm spoiled by Black Ops and Killzone 2
