Resistance 2: Direct-feed footage from the beta

It really bothers me that people care this much.

Yay, I still can’t stand shooters.

(Mainly because I suck)

I get terrible hangovers from shooters. Prefer beer myself.

Had a little play with the Beta this lunchtime. Can’t really comment too much on the gameplay aspects aside from controls as I was only playing offline by myself. Couple of points though :-

1) Graphically it looks really nice. It’s got a silky frame rate and a significant step up in texture quality from the first game. A lot more use of shader effects too – I think the first was completely devoid of them – but it’s got good spot effects which are crucially not over used.
2) Controls I found fine tbh, though I prefer a 360 controller for FPS, it was smooth and responsive.
3) The game mode largely displayed above is very specific to co-op play and seems heavily focused on throwing lots of enemies at you. It’s not something you should base your opinion of the whole game on. Even as single player there were hoards of the Chimera after you – very Doomy – in a good original Doom not Doom 3 kind of way.
