Resistance map packs available; Global servers up

by Jem Alexander { Jun 29th 2007 at 2:00PM }

After numerous delays the Resistance: Fall of Man update is finally here. While the full patch notes are too long for us to put here, you will see them before you get updating. In order to update the game, simply load up the online multiplayer menu. The game will then offer to update (you have to do so in order to play online). Once this is done, you will be able to play against any other players anywhere in the world. You may also notice that the online multiplayer has changed. There is a new "purchase" button. From here you can buy the two new maps.

Interestingly, the game is able to access the PSN Store directly, switching from the Resistance purchase menu to the store checkout seamlessly. As well as this, there is now an option in the online multiplayer menu to access your friends list without leaving the game. This allows you to do anything you can do from the friends list section of the XMB, including messaging. While this can only be reached from the menu, so no in-match access, it is still one step closer to our dreams of having in-game XMB access.

So get updating. The wait is finally over!

I can't get in.

I downloaded the update and rebooted my PS3. I go into online and it says "Login Failed"

It worked yesterday. Help me please?

iRoy @ Jun 29th 2007 2:49PM

Whatever, back to Vegas.

Trapper @ Jun 29th 2007 2:53PM

Andy @ Jun 29th 2007 3:38PM

So has anyone got into it yet?

If it easier I am happy playing against my region only. To be honest I had a feeling this would happen.

I am glad I am not the only one because I have had some problems with my wireless. DO NOT GET A D-LINK I HAVE EXPERIENCED FIRST HAND THAT THEY SUCK!

kevin_254 @ Jun 29th 2007 3:46PM

i cant log in neither, i tried it like millions of times and still nothing, although i did get in once, it was at bus yard and i was playing with the japanese ppl lol and yeah before i even respawned i was disconnected from the network

insane257 @ Jun 29th 2007 3:51PM

log-in failed. wont even let me play online anymore!!! haha what a joke this is. I hope there is a fix out soon because i want to play online NOW. I bought a PS3 for the free online gaming and Insomniac games have screwed up with this patch...

I also use wireless but i don't believe this is the problem because i've tried a internet cable. Expect there to be another patch to fix this stupid error soon

Jak @ Jun 30th 2007 9:46AM

SlavedHeart @ Jun 29th 2007 4:00PM

SLOW YOUR ROLL!!!!

Servers down, check myresistance.net in the forums, there is a post... unexpected.... but down on purpose it looks like...

Andy @ Jun 29th 2007 4:11PM

@insane257

Calm down a little. Everything is going to be work out in the end.

I did get to the new features read where it said You can now listen to chat through your tv if you don't have a mic. Can you turn this off if you want? (or mute certain people)

Andy @ Jun 29th 2007 4:19PM

Voice chat through TV speakers if you don’t have a microphone

Can I turn this option off?

kevinf @ Jun 29th 2007 5:47PM

I been in a couple of times and the new maps are nice. I've already seen some Japan vs. Us games going so that should be interesting. Both maps are huge and Snipers will love camborne its raining off and on and there are some dark spots u can camp out at. Westmorland is really big and its snowing so the camo outfit will work great with that one. The one thing about Westmorland is that its tunnel system looks almost like the space station tunnels in killzone.

kevinf @ Jun 29th 2007 5:48PM

sorry bout that i meant the camborne tunnels looks similiar to killzone..

Andy @ Jun 29th 2007 6:24PM

Damn you. You got it to work. Where are you playing from?

Naaiif @ Jun 29th 2007 7:06PM

Do people actually camp in this game and use strategy?

I seem to be top or near top every ranked match i play but it's really just run and gun stuff, shoot or be shot.

Maybe i'm playing the wrong game type.

Andy @ Jun 29th 2007 8:45PM

Ohh it works now. Join my match its in Manchester and its called Fair Enough?

Anyways I am having so much fun and it is nice to finally play the world.

insane257 @ Jun 29th 2007 9:32PM

plays perfect now, thanks to everyone who worked on it for getting it up and running! was fun tonight kicking and getting kicked with the American guys.

I need a headset to speak to em all

Andy @ Jun 30th 2007 12:45AM

@17

Too be honest I do not really care. I used to rent every single new sports game available but I have gotten bored.

If you put them side by side I probably wouldn't have a good enough eye to notice the difference?

But for those that can you might as well go with the 360 version. WHEN WILL DEV'S REALIZE ITS EASIER TO PORT FROM PS3 TO 360?

mccomber @ Jun 30th 2007 2:19AM

@ElwoodJD,
First, "We have already proven that sports titles can run on the PlayStation 3 at true HD with 1080p output with NBA 07," says it pretty well. NGS running at 60fps at 1080p also sort of makes one question "why can't you get it your men in tights to run into each other at 60 fps?"
Second, the sort of people who drive the sales of games like Madden year after year after year after... aren't the sort of people who are paying attention to which system has the better framerate. They are the ones who pay attention to the year at the end of the title, after a few seconds realize it's one higher than they had to count to last time they picked up a football game, and then they purchase it for whatever system they own.
Third, there is a "Send us news tips" link on this page. If you want your news to be ignored properly, you should really click it. Posting it in a completely unrelated topic is just going to end with me calling you a troll.

Scott Krueger @ Jul 1st 2007 1:22PM

So are the Maps worth the Price???

Neil @ Jul 2nd 2007 10:20AM
