well i just got the r2 beta and so far have loved it. they seemed to improve on most things. chicago map is really nice. and for people worrying about graphics don't it looks really nice. i haven't played the co op yet though but nerdboy says it was great.

i will answer questions for people that are wondering by pm or on this thread

EDIT: added controls etc.
maps that ive been on:

chicago-its a map on the streets with some buildings blown up on the sides. there are blow pipes (thats what ill call them for now) that can push you onto the roof tops. there is a string of blow pipes that take you across the map and is hard to defend at times when a enemy sneaks up on you.

i cant think of a name but its at a saw mill factory and a small town- has alot of buildings each one is like a new place. pub has music playing and a pool table, fire station has fire trucks, and etc. its bigger than chicago.  more sniping spots.

here are the controls:
r1 fire
l1 aim
r2 seems to be a perk button or special from your gun
l2 is sprint. tap l2 while not moving you kneel down
square i think is reload
select shows score and what place your in (you can move while looking like in cod4)
X jump
triangle is switch gun (you also get a pistol)

respawning: seems to be smart. you respawn close to enemys but you dont die instently. you respawn near allies or squad. you have a 4 second delay after dying. during the time you can switch guns or perks. you dont repawn til you press X.

What do you mean by co op?
Is there a part of the story you can play? i thought it was only the multiplayer.
Are guns good? can you unloack pearks? how similiar is to cod4?
is it better than cod4? is it worth 60$?
can you share the beta with me???
is it even possible?
can i have a pic of your sister?
when are you going to get that dog  out of ur avatar?
is the 360 better than the wii?
etc

"What do you mean by co op? onlijne story mode with other people
Is there a part of the story you can play? i thought it was only the multiplayer. its only multiplayer but theres some story still havent got the chance to play it.
Are guns good? can you unloack pearks? how similiar is to cod4?way bigger maps than cod4. nice guns about 8 that both sides use. you can switch your gun after you die and you get 1 perk out of 4 and idk about anymore cause there are no leveling up yet that i can see.
is it better than cod4? is it worth 60$? its pretty good. i think its worth 60$ for mulitiplayer
can you share the beta with me??? >_>
is it even possible? whay possible?
can i have a pic of your sister? no
when are you going to get that dog  out of ur avatar? never
is the 360 better than the wii? depends on who you are i guess

Yeah if they improved on the obvious flaws (which it sounds like they have) I expect this will probably be the most under rated game of the year. 'Cos inevitably it's gonna review shit."

Does the glass break when you shoot it?

added more to original post

"Does the glass break when you shoot it?"

Which weapons have returned and which are new? How does the camera react to sprinting etc. No secondary fire anymore?

You guys being stoked about the game makes me even more stoked - which is why these "limited access" demos are a brilliant idea.

yes. on the buildings you can break glass to shoot down some guys"

Yeah and the Physics are awesome in the game.....ESPECIALLY THE WAY THE WATER MOVES...its fuckin awesome. This game beats bioshock, Uncharted, etc. in water physics if you ask me."

That's a bold claim? The videos I've seen and reports I've heard suggest the graphics are pretty poor. Are they really that good?"

More questions: does the BETA have any levels from the co op in it? And if so, how are they?

"More questions: does the BETA have any levels from the co op in it? And if so, how are they?"

An hour and a half for one co-op mission. That's bloody awesome that. I think I'm most excited about taking the game online with my friends and kicking the ass of some Chimera.

Hey cheers for answering my questions guys - let me know how the co-op plays when you have spent some time in it.

To be honest if the graphics can even be comparable with Uncharted or Bioshock that's an amazing comparison, because even if they're not strictly better, those games are pretty hard to beat if you get my drift. This thread is so refreshing because I really enjoyed the original Resistance - but I kinda always felt like it was NEARLY great if you know what I mean.

I'm confident now that this is gonna be a really great game.

Exciting times.

I think Resistance has quite a strong story though. I mean I played liked two matches of Resistance online and spent the most time in single player. I'm not really a big "online" player, I'll always touch the single player first. So the thought of online co-op which I presume has some scripted events sounds like the best of both worlds to me.

But yeah like I was saying - Resistance has a better story than Halo in my opinion. It's not so pretentious. It feels like a really awesome 60's sci-fi film I think. Which is cool.

Insomniac generally make cool games with tons of replay value anyway. GAH EXCITED!

Im getting my key on monday (according to play) and this thread has got me so damn pumped xD

It's not just graphics though is it? The original game was pretty repetitive and I fear for the same thing happening in this game.

Having said that - Tools Of Destruction is one of the most repetitive games I've played this generation but it's also one of the best. I guess if I can trust any developer with mastering repeptitive gameplay it's Insomniac."

Ok so i pulled away from Dead Space for a few hours and gave the beta a try.  And WOW.  I was a tiny bit scared that this wasn't going to turn out all that great but I ended up loving it!  Online I haven't been able to spend much time with but played really well and looked great :D  The Chicago map is really amazing.  But, like I told Shadows over msn, this game will shine with it's Co-op mode.  I hopped online with 7 others for a quick mission.  About an hour and a half later we add fought our way through hordes of Chimera small and LARGE.  We stood strong against their forces never giving up.  If a fellow comrade had fallen we made sure to revive them.  We would get rid of 2-3 huge waves of Chimera and then even more waves would surround us!

Something really great about the map we were on (Orick) was that it was very OPEN.  And so the Chimera were constantly surrounding us.  You HAD to watch each others back.  Team work was truly the ONLY way.  Towards the end of it all I began to think about what our team had gone through.  It was amazing.  The battles were enormous and lag free.  Then I thought how awesome it would be if in the future we got DLC Co-op missions :D  Plus I think I'm really going to like how you level up your people and can unlock weapons and presumable skins.  Either way....I think I'm going to play the Co-op more than any other feature of the game. :D

whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy  whyy you have to make it sound so fucking awesome =(
I so wanna play this game...is there an open beta for europe`?"

Just wanted to add something else...is it just me or have they really upped the difficulty for this?  I mean we only got one mission in Co-op but overall it just seemed a lot harder than the previous game.

I dont know about the beta but in the real game it depends on how many people you have playing the game. The difficulty will be scaled due to how many players you have on the map but yes this game is amazing."

You know - considering all the "betas" we have had lately - and we are all pretty much aware that these aren't really "betas", more limited time demos that test out server strain - I'm hearing the most positive things from this Resistance one.

LBP "beta" had it's problems. SOCOM had it's problems. COD has been getting very negative feedback.

I'm almost shocked that the feedback from Resistance seems to be that it's BETTER than expected. The co-op literally sounds amazing. GAH!!!!

We have to wait until the 21st to play it here in the UK. You Americans are lucky bastards ;)

Yeah but DLC isn't...."

ok so i just finish playing some multiplayer.
And i got say :
ITS  VERY VERY VERY GOOD, after you play it, you ll be like 'call of who?  yeah this game is way better than cod4.
the graphics are improved, but still,  not good enough in my opinion.
the guns are freakin good, the human models are meh, but the chemera ( or what ever is called) are good.

This is definatly a must buy for the ps3

Yeah the graphics are not bad.. but all the scenario seems to be in a low resolution, i dont know how to explain, but if you compare objects, like doors, tables etc from cod4 and r2 you ll see a difference"

objects in R2 looked way better than the ones in COD4 the last time i checked......"

^^^^^^ What Shadows said. 

well, i posted this ins ome other R2 beta impressions, but i'll just paste the same thing here:

I'v been enjoying the hell out of this beta. I really didn't play much of the first Resistance, but i after playing this beta, i went out and reserved my copy of Resistance 2.

playing co-op with a bunch of friends is probably one of the better multiplayer experiences i'v had. Add to the fact that your character class of character lvls up and you can buy items for your character/weapon and they are all cosmetic and show up on your person, it's just great.

"^^^^^^ What Shadows said. "
