Watch the Resistance 2 beta in action

by Majed Athab { Aug 18th 2008 at 4:00PM }

The closed beta for Resistance 2 is currently going on, and while you're here reading, someone else out there is saving America from a Chimera invasion. Luckily, you don't have to miss out on all the fun. While you wait for the public beta coming this September, you can check out eight minutes of gameplay footage right now; albeit, extremely blurry and unflattering footage.

The level in the vid looks like the same outdoor woodland area you've seen in screenshots before. It may be difficult to see the little details due to the low quality, but one thing is for certain: Resistance 2's mulitplayer mode, overall, looks like pure carnage.

looks sweet.

kevin @ Aug 18th 2008 5:12PM

this is so illegal in many ways lol

phinnvr6 @ Aug 18th 2008 5:48PM

Looks good, dunno how it can top Bad Company though. It would be hard to go back to a game without destructible environments, it's too much fun.

Matt @ Aug 18th 2008 7:13PM

@kevin

Very much so. Whoever uploaded it better hope it doesn't get traced back to them. lol

sean @ Aug 18th 2008 4:08PM

To me it looks a little boring... I know it's a beta and it's not final, but ehh.................

drdre74 @ Aug 18th 2008 4:22PM

yeah I'm the same way. Just looks boring as hell. I never could get into the first one that much. COD4 was the first FPS game that I really got into and loved the moment i saw the first trailer. This does nothing for me.

Who Flang Poo @ Aug 18th 2008 6:04PM

I agree it does look pretty boring. I was a fan of the first game but this just doesnt look very good. Hopefully it gets better by the time it launches.

sgt barone @ Aug 18th 2008 6:44PM

QFT. it needs a bit more spice. too generic. im jus not that turned on by it at all. hopefully the real game gets better.

Arnon @ Aug 18th 2008 11:02PM

I hate it.. but I'm agreeing on the matter as well.. it seems it's too generic compared to a lot of the other shooters coming out. What with no recoil(wtf?), no destructable environments, and basic combat, I'm hoping this will do ok.

Arnon @ Aug 18th 2008 11:05PM

The man's firing that railgun like it's made of plastic and shoots air.. Wait.. even air would have a recoil.

SolidOtacon @ Aug 18th 2008 4:17PM

The exping looks much funner than in R1.

MannyCalvo @ Aug 18th 2008 4:21PM

This looks very good.. I'm wondering are those robots powered by other players or are there just AI all over the map while your in a live match ? If so that's a great idea. . . always keeps you on your toes. I think the point system is so awesome

Nathanical @ Aug 18th 2008 4:37PM

i believe this was a vid of the Co-op campaign

MannyCalvo @ Aug 18th 2008 4:39PM

Really? Oh didn't realize the beta was for the Co-Op campaign also. The only complain I have is that arm . .it's not looking to good. . throw a glove or something on there.

Fenix @ Aug 18th 2008 4:21PM

No gloves on your hands?

o_O

That just looks wierd...

francisco @ Aug 18th 2008 4:30PM

this game looks way better than r1 XD cant wait for open beta

The SackBoy @ Aug 18th 2008 4:37PM

I am interested to try this game out, at the very least. On a side note, I set my comment bubble as "GIRL WITH A STICK" and every single friend has messaged me asking if I have the beta. *sigh* if only I did....

Lionp696 @ Aug 18th 2008 4:36PM

Online coop looks sick First Day buy for me.

sean @ Aug 18th 2008 5:02PM

it doesn't look boring it looks great you gamer arent happy with anything

Arnon @ Aug 18th 2008 11:51PM

No.. it really looks boring rofl. Guns with no recoil, A.I. with very basic functions, a rail gun with almost limitless ammo, and a bunch of other stuff.. I'm really hoping this game pulls together.

LatinoLA1 @ Aug 18th 2008 5:19PM

it looks pretty good, and the hands do look a little weird without the gloves or sleves at least, and no fair by the time this open beta gets out this guys r gonna b good at it and be owning on us new people =(

iamkid @ Aug 18th 2008 6:05PM

it actually looks pretty awesome, dont know what you guys are saying. i saw some exp things in there, was there exp in r1? im not very far into it, thats why i ask. if its new, thats awesome!

will @ Aug 18th 2008 6:48PM

I have the beta, and I'm done with it. They ruined a good game. I can understand its early version but its so different its not even close to how good R1 was. I feel like I'm playing Area 51 or Jericho its that bad.

Darkdrium777 @ Aug 18th 2008 7:24PM

I can't believe myself when I say that that was really 'meh'.
It's really slow, really full of dumb AI, and personal shields (WTF to that last bit too).

I understand it's a beta and the guy is playing as a 'heavy' or whatever, but really. This is not 'intense'. Pure carnage, sure: there's thirty something enemies that spawn at the same time. Fun? No.
