Enjoyed that timeline read. Very happy to be getting back into this world

the timeline is sweet i wish they had it out earlier lol

R2 coop is probably my favourite online mode - EVER - and they took it out.

maybe theyll have online story mode? i know it wont be the same, but still lol

i liked co-op a lot too. most of my r2 career has been Co-Op

Same here, the co-op was (in my opinion) the strongest point of R2. The story was enjoyable, and the competitive was good too, but there was nothing better than getting together with a bunch of friends (SHS anyone?) and playing co-op for a few hours. Oh well, you can't always get what you want.

*sniffles*

No more dancing Titans named Bob.
No more Titan melees.
No more playing with Sunshine, Sage, Fergy and Cheese.
No more playing ring-around-the-rosey with Titans.
No more deaths by Leaper attacks.
No more Chameleon ambushes.
No more epic Azira-background-conversations. (Dad's mean sometimes)
No more dead gnats, reptiles, unicorns and raiders.
No more I'm missing a whole bunch of names, aren't I?

boo hoo

MURDERER
*points at az*

Long Legs: The Long Legs is a mechanically-enhanced Chimeran Hybrid able to leap high into the air and swoop down on its targets with deadly force. It uses its increased mobility to traverse complex environments and find superior attack positions.

Primary Weapon: Bullseye

Survival Tip: Tag it with a Bullseye tag when it lands -- all subsequent shots will steer toward it, even if it jumps to another perch.

I'm starting to think I should have joined the 'Full-Gameinformer-club' instead...

Absolutely none of this is posted on the IG forums, except where someone finds it on the web and makes comment in a thread. I'm starting to feel like "Yeah, wake me when you have something to show.."

damn taggers. Friggin noobs

they seem like theyre similar to slipskulls from FOM, just they dont stick to walls. and they get a bullseye rather than reapers

Joseph Capelli and the rest of the surviving human population are living in a world ruled by the Chimera. The military has been destroyed and factories are derelict, so expertly crafted firearms are an almost nonexistent rarity. In this brutal environment, survivors who still have fight in them must cobble together their own weaponry to blast away the Hybrids, Long Legs, and Window Makers threatening their daily life. Come with us as we take a look at both the functional and aesthetic changes of two important weapons from the Resistance universe.

Magnum

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

The Magnum makes its first appearance in Resistance 2. Its remote-detonated grenade bullets make it an invaluable weapon when it comes to taking down everything from common Hybrids to towering Titans. This army-issue weapon features a polished wooden stock, a uniform metallic body, and even a SRPA-branded electronic detonator.

This is the improvised Magnum of Resistance 3. It is composed of several hunks of salvaged metal, and sports an aesthetic representative of the survivors' desperation. Inventiveness comes with rewards, however, as the Magnum can be upgraded to an even more powerful weapon in Resistance 3. After racking up enough kills with the pistol, Capelli can upgrade the sidearm so that each grenade bullet fragments into even more explosives upon contact with a Chimera or other surface. The result is a cluster of deadly bombs that can be triggered from behind cover. Necessity is the mother of invention, and this invention will mother a lot of dead Chimera.

Bullseye

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

This is the Bullseye, the main firearm issued by Chimeran Hybrid foot soldiers. This weapon may look less complicated than the aliens' other firearms, but it sports rapid laser fire and the deadly accurate Bullseye Tag. Users can fire an identifying tag at their adversaries, causing all subsequent energy rounds to home in on them. This is especially useful for downing enemies who are behind cover while remaining unseen yourself. A remotely-detonated Bullseye Trap can also be set which unloads a torrent of bullets from a booby trap on the wall or ceiling.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

The functionality of the Bullseye remains mostly unchanged in Resistance 2, but features some helpful improvements. The three aiming hairs on the gun's redesigned frame allow for increased precision, as they tilt towards a tagged enemy and align to indicate shot accuracy. Tagged enemies can also be viewed through walls, an effect similar to the Auger weapon. Additionally, Bullseye Traps can be exploded, creating a shrapnel effect comparable to the Chimera's hedgehog grenades.

Times are rough in Resistance 3, and the superior Bullseye of Resistance 2 is hard to come by. That being the case, humans have repurposed the original Bullseyes found in Resistance: Fall of Man. Similarly to the improvised Magnum, scraps of metal are bolted to the weapon's frame. The human resistance have also affixed an iron sight to the weapon, allowing a more conventional aiming style. One of this weapon's upgrades allow a single Bullseye Tag to shatter into multiple tags, creating a deadly effect when firing into a cluster of unfortunate Chimera.

I thought the FoM Bullseye was ugly.

Let the sigs and user bars begin!


Great updates B.


An iron sight on a bullseye huh?
Interesting.

Now, wheres the info on my carbine?

Sooo sick!

Capellies uglier.

zing!

i quite like the look of the FOM bullseye. the moving parts and rounded look didnt really fly with me in the R2 version. i like how IG went back to the older, boxier look.

if they dont have a customizable carbine, i will not be happy. i dont see how they could have chosen the bullseye over the carbine being customizable if those are the only two weapons theyll let you "customize". im kind of hoping this doesnt turn into the ACIT type customizing where its just finding better parts as you go along. that isnt really customizing. youre kinda forced to use the newer parts you find because the old ones become obsolete.

id say they did a decent job of customizing in deadlocked, which wasnt a bad game.
there i said it

The cover of the GAmeInformer for November, the main theme is R3. I'll definetly look into this lots, and buy R2 sometime before R3 comes out, and cheese it up with you guys

This has opened my eyes better to the direction they're going. And I can understand and see this actually fitting in better than I had thought. Still disappointed a bit in regards to Hale and the slimmed down Capelli, but at least it does and is making sense now.

Great video that has me really pumped up!



(If you can't view the vid here - clicky this link! [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] )

Thansk Raist!
Btw, for those in UK. I saw that the newspaper US today International Edition has Ted Price on this weekend's cover Could not read it or have a look, I think it was about violent games and children I think he was saying that parents need to understand the ratings and that there are for a reason. Anyway, he had a chimera skull on his hand! Lol

EDIT: Found it online, will read it later, but the pic is [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

EDIT 2: Not sure why, but I can only listen to the R3 vid, not actually watch it :S

In that link it just has a bunch of other article links. Couldnt find the ted price one

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] Look for USA (left menu), then 29th October, USA Today International edition. Or do a search there for "Ted Price", it brings the article in around 7th position. Try this link: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] I think it shows the current edition, so it might only work this weekend. If not, just change the day in the menu to 29th October.

So on a random note, I hope Insomniac includes a feature in the game where when the Chimera see me, they tie up one of there own and try to appease me through sacrifice.

Found a wicked podcast with a bunch new information on Resistance 3 [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Sounds wicked, going to listen to it again in case I missed something.
