Avis d´un joueur au TGS.

"Yeah, I promised I would talk about my hands on time with Resistance after TGS. It is sometimes hard to come up with points to mention on your own so please ask questions and I will try to answer as best as I can.
I was walking through the Sony booth just minutes of stepping onto the showfloor and the clean look of several of the games really impressed me. Then I see it, the Resistance: Fall of man booth (the actual playing area being war ruins that seals it off from the non-players). No question about it, this will to be the first PS3 game I’m going to play. I get in line for the singleplayer demo and about twentyish minutes later I’m holding the PS3 controller. I really like the ‘triggers’ (more like pedals actually) and they don’t squeak like the GC controller ones happily and feel totally smooth. The rest of the controller feels pretty much the same and I think to myself that I need to press that PlayStation button to see what happens (of course, I totally forgot about that during the whole show).
Resistance is as they say a great game. It feels very familiar and tried and tested but the polish and nuances like the awesome weapons, enemies and overall style set it apart. The game was surprisingly hard though. I usually died like around three times between each checkpoint (which there seems to be reasonably plenty of thankfully). I came out feeling very happy about it until I went over and tried the multiplayer demo (where happy turned to ‘purchase day one’ though there was never any doubt for me). Even though that line seemed smaller, it went slower since each group of players had about 15mins time inside. Quite weird the first time on that demo as half of the other players were Japanese girls which I didn’t really expect would be the kind of demographic that would play this game (a TGS freak moment I guess though I welcome them, the demographic, with open arms). Insomniac did a very smart thing with the multiplayer booth as they had set up a ‘recruit lobby’ which showed a fast paced trailer setting the tone of the game (I guess it’s available online now) with a longer tutorial video to follow (in Japanese). It demonstrated basic fps controls which seemed appreciated by the locals as well as the basic rundown of the game rules. ‘It’s time to bhattle. Let’s muuuve onn’ the broken english keeps ringing in my head.
The multiplayer part of the game was really great. I was a bit surprised by the large font size I saw but the game, the game was very sweet. And from the three times I played the mp demo, the racial skill balance seemed pretty good. The human sprint ability (which reduces aim and removes the crosshair while in action) is a very good way to get around and their always working health regen and radar came in handy. The Chimeras rage ability was very cool and I strategically used it where needed and I always kept an eye on my heat meter. Also, one thing I liked about the Auger (the rifle that shots through walls) is that it tells you when someone is behind the wall. This isn’t unfair as it may sound like since the bullets takes time to drill through (and the other player will see burning glows beforehand if he/she pays attention. Speaking of that, there was a cool part in the sp demo when I was going down some stairs and Auger bullets kept burning through under my feet so I kept jumping away in the last second). Both singleplayer and multiplayer Resistance was awesome but it’s online where you will see me the most.
The three times I played the multiplayer level (I played singleplayer demo twice) the numbers of players ranged from 28 to 29 though the map supported from 10 to 40.
Also, early the 1st day at TGS when I was waiting in the developer queue to get into the keynote presentation I noticed Mr.Ted Price a few meters in front of me and he seemed really popular as everyone around him was talking to him, people waving to him and such. They were laughing a lot and rolled around on the floor.
I also got to try the flamethrower. The actual flames were green in the demo which I guess was for censor reasons. The gun looks pretty simple actually and looks like it was home made almost fitting a canister with a igniter and so forth and it was really funny to use. Primary fire behaves like you expect firing a long stream of fire that will lit the victim on fire for a short period of time. The secondary fire is really nasty. It plants a burning area on the ground and if anyone touches it, they are lit on fire permanently until they die. The life goes down relatively slowly but you are very visible(due to being in flames and all) and you can´t regen no more. Nasty."
personnellement je la trouve bonne... pas mauvaise, pas excellente, juste bonne
