Am I the only one who is a little upset about the recent gameplay footage floating around from Resistance 3? Hold on before you "WTFuXORS!", don't get me wrong, the game looked absolutely beautiful. It just didn't look like Resistance, it looked like Killzone with Chimera. And to all the people saying it does look like Killzone and liking this, are huge hypocrites.
When it comes to Killzone, fans love the feeling, look, and art design behind it. They will give you a lingual lashing if they even hear about anything CODish going into the game, because they want Killzone to have it's own identity. So why then do I feel Resistance has lost it's identity from the gameplay footage?
They even took the red hit box straight out of Killzone. And Resistance now has a true ADS, which angers me in some sense with some of the comments I seen on an article. Where people said "Resistance always had ADS" proving to me that most people putting their input on franchises similar to this one are not true fans of the game.
Resistance's ADS was never a true ADS, it was more of a "zoom" mode where there was still a corsair since Resistance is more of an arcadey game. Which is one of the several reasons why I was so fond of Resistance. It had it's own identity, a dying breed in my opinion in that before FPS's usually had their own play style, etc.
Point of all this, is I'd like my Killzone to be Killzone and my Resistance to be Resistance. Not one of the same, if I want to play a realistic shooter I'll pop in Killzone, if I want an arcadey halo-style game I'll pop in Resistance. They may have brought back the weapon wheel (yay!) but it looks like they completely dumped their art style and gameplay.
Another thing that worries me is the graphics, I mean holy crap did it look fan-freakin'-tastic, but is the graphics going to be able to handle the huge scale battles the resistance games are known for? Or are they dropping the huge scale for a more in your face type of gameplay? If so, I personally would of liked this game to be more of a spin off game rather than a full fledged sequel. Again making my case for not feeling and/or looking like Resistance.
If they put Helghast in that video I would of thought it was Killzone with no hesitation.
