My PSP is neglected it's been sat in my bedside drawer with only old copies of Playboy for company for months. Might be time to break out the AC Adapter and fire it up again.

No offense Brad, but why in God's name would you use the face buttons to aim?!


Buttons move and stick aims.  It worked just fine on the Dreamcast and it works fine here. :|

IAmJohn: It's less intuitive that way. Movement in third/first person shooters is usually controlled with the left hand which is where the only stick on the PSP is. Aiming is usually with the right hand and there's only buttons on the right side.

Patrick, I guess I can see where you're coming from, but as someone who played a ton of N64 and Dreamcast games like that and basically learned how to play FPS games like that before moving over to PC (hell, I used to play Quake III Arena online on Dreamcast), it's never been a problem to me.  Y'all just don't wanna learn! :P

The fact that you only get the extra content if you have a PS3 kinda irks me, other than that looks solid.

God damn, Brad, you die in every quick look you do lately <_<. Aside from storm rise, but that's an RTS and you did have dudes that died in that, so it doesn't count.

It looks pretty good.  Now if only they'd remake the original Wolfenstein 3-D with that engine. :)

"i think that was in resistance 2"


dude you reviewed that game. 
you should know for sure. makes me remember, why the fuck did that game only get 4 out of 5 on here yet resident evil got 5 out of 5. 
i have played both a lot and there is no way RE5 is better than R2.
it just seems throughout this entire video its totally obviously vinny has a sort of grudge against the resistance series. he kept trying to poke at that age old psp games are just poor console games line.

And continuing the grand tradition, Brad dies in a quick look. If he is unable to talk and play at the same time he should get some Ritalin.
Looks good... For a PSP game.

Ummm, no offense but it doesn't seem like Brad is a good third-person shooter player.
Looks like he hasn't changed since his days at Gamespot. In the eternal words of Carrie Gouskos "he pulled a Brad."

@Lieutenant. Me too. I got the demo and that was all I needed. I dont like it. I think I would have liked it more if the PSP was set up with 2 analog sticks. Al also think that the game would have been even better if it was set up like gears of war. It is a good looking game and it might be good but not for me.

I must say this game looks much better than most psp game and seriously there's nothing wrong with having a shooter on the psp. Why should you deny people who have a psp a shooter experience not everyone has a console and furthermore some people want to be able to play a shooter on the bus or a train.

As I recall, in Resistance 1, there were no health pickups before you got infected, and after that you only regenerated up to the next quadrant of your health, the pickups filling up empty quadrants.

Why doesnt the player (Is it Brad?) reload when he has hardly a few bullets left? Or is it just my style to constantly reload when im even in half of the whole clip or even 3/4

You know what would work on the PSP? Resident Evil 5 where you can't shoot and move at the same time.
