Resistance 3 or Killzone 3 - which one are you looking more forward to.

[MerrickG]

Title of the thread says all.

I am more looking forward to Resistance 3 since I am dying to know how they are going to resolve the cliffhanger ending from the second one and given the fact that when the first Resistance came out it was really truly the only great game on the console for about a year until Uncharted and Ratchet and Clank came out. I dont like everything they did in the 2nd one, but I really look forward to see what they do in the 3rd one and hope they bring back the weapon wheel. I always felt that the first Resistance provided a nice mix of Call of Duty WW2 era, Halo and Half Life 2 style gameplay, while the second one really removed much of the Call of Duty WW2 style stuff.

As for Killzone 3, sure Ill play it since I liked the second one, although I felt it was more or less the PS3 equivalent of Halo, which I would describe as fun and a helluva good time, but not really worth all the fanboy worship.

Im really hoping for Resistance 3 to come this year.


So which are you looking most forward to?

Feel free to mention any other games.

Killzone 3 by far, not even close.

Killzone 2 was my favorite FPS this generation, if Killzone 3 fixes stuff that was wrong from Killzone 2, as well as add new stuff to it, then it'll be my FPS of the Forever.

Killzone 2 was good. Played through it once, played MP for a couple weeks then moved on. Resistance 2 was great IMO big improvement over Resistance FOM. I didnt even know they were making Resistance 3 definitely, I would be looking forward to that way more.

Do you know a link that confirms or let me know where you heard that? Thanks!

Killzone 3 by at least a lightyear. Don't get me wrong, I love the Resistance series, but Killzone just blows it away.

Elaborate on what you found wrong with Killzone 2.

I didn't like the clunky controls, carrying only one gun at a time, and a short campaign.

I would like to be able to play the first Killzone, but I have a slim, but Sony should consider an HD remix.

Im a little torn over whether I liked Resistance 2 over FOM.

My main criticism of Resistance 2 is that they went a little too sci-fi in that one while taking out the WW2 element (not really WW2, but being in that era) and that kind of made me like it less. I felt they needlessly went all cinematic in the 2nd one presenting too many additional questions. I felt that same way about Halo 2 in that they tried to make it so much better than the first one that they lost some of the heart of the first game along the way. I kind of feel that way about Resistance 2.

Not to mention the weapon wheel!

I also felt that Resistance 2 was too short. It could have used an extra assignment or two.

Yes, Resistance 3 is coming. If you finished Resistance 2 there should be no doubt about it.

No, it hasnt officially been announced yet. E3 seems likely. I really hope it gets a holiday release date.

Resistance 2 was way too short, but i'm still looking forward to R3 it'll be groundbreaking (so will Killzone 3)

[alphapyro]

I like Resistance more than Killzone. I think it's because KZ2's controls really irritated the crap out of me. I didn't care what it looked like I felt like I couldn't respond as fast as I wanted to and that murdered the experience for me.

Maximus,

If you are reading the comments in this thread. Ill ask if we can expect Resistance 3 this year and/or to be announced at E3?

Yeah I agree w/ R2 being too short. I do rememebr the ending I just thought there would be a new game by now so I wasn't sure if they would actually make another one. I sure hope they do, the R2 ending was amazing, totally caught me off guard. I havent played the game in over 1yr and a half but I still remember that ending as if I just finished it. I do not remember the weapon wheel, what was it like agan?

Sorry, I can't say.

Personally I am looking forward to Killzone 3. I played it a few weeks ago and it was awesome, early and unfinished but still awesome. You criticised it for clunky controls which is down to the input lag and that's been fixed. The SP campaign is longer and there are more multi-player options.

I can't go into tech details until after E3, but rest assured it is now the most technically up to date game in the world, it uses more distributed code and more SPU post-processing than any other game which has allowed them to do a 3D mode without making many sacrifices to quality while making the 2D mode more fancy with higher fps.

[Nielsb90]

Wow tough one for me.. Imma have to say KZ3, but that is mainly based on the multiplayer aspect!

I love both singleplayer campaigns but I never got that much into R2 multiplayer..

However if they bring back the real co-op campaign from the first Resistance I'm gonna be in heaven! Biggest flaw in the second game!

Now they just need to do an HD remake of the first Killzone. I would have liked to know the backstory b4 playing KZ2.

Killzone 3. Resistance 2 added a lot of great stuff (more awesome weapons, scale, huge MP, cool levels) but took out some of the best stuff about Resistance 1 (length, vehicles, 4 screen multiplayer, and somehow the graphics seemed worse!?). And insomniac is going multi-platform so I'm bitter... okay just kidding about the last part, kinda.

But either way Killzone 2 delivered on everything they promised in all the years of build-up, so if they're promising such bigger and better things, I'm looking more forward to that.

I'll take both but if it had to be one it would be KZ3.

Killzone 2
Pros: -very satisfying gunplay (imo the best of any fps)
- top of the pack in graphics for a FPS (animations, lighting, etc)
- great multiplayer with bots

Cons: - lack of variety in campaign
- could use more weapon variety
- lack of enemy variety


Resistance 2
pros: - great variety in level design
- co-op mode (didn't get into it but I know others loved it)

Cons: -
inconsistant graphics (some levels look great, some bland (indoors especially)
- want more variety in weapons
- can't kill those damn mermaid baddies

[Monkey]

should there be a poll?
