Resistance 2 Beta: Graphics

I'm not to impressed with the graphics from what I see from the Beta.... I love the 8 man co-op, this is surely a great selling point.... I've played the beta co-op level over and over, never gets old..... This game will be great....

It just doesn't look as great as I expected....

Dont worry, Halo 3 beta multiplayer had also poor graphics but the final game was quite good. Also if you wana see the true graphical power, I suggest we all need to play the SP portion.

P/S I cant help but seeing the legendary pic on the left, its been a long time brother. Forza Milan! I am adding you here and PSN.

Only thing I don't like about the graphics.....bullsey rounds and fire show lots of pixelizationrogerjak

you hit the nail on the head with that one. i noticed this, too. the fire looked TERRIBLE.

i haven't had my PS3 for too long, 2-3 months, and didn't know if it upscales games to 1080p or not. i know my 360 does, but my tv says resistance is being displayed at 1280X720@60hz. my 360 games all say 1920x1080@60hz. is there a setting i can check somewhere??

What?! Uhhhh, not true at all... but good theory.;)

And you know this how?

Because I have common sense. Don't tell me you're one of those people that think graphics get better when it's streaming off of a disk... or that devs would purposefully muddy up their textures in order to reduce file size.

Well, MGO's beta did not look as good as the single player mode in the final retail version of MGS4.

Yeah I know. The single player campaign will look better but these kids are arguing the graphics in the multiplayer portion of the game are going to get better as well... and it's just simply not the case. You're right though about the SP mode (but that wasn't included in the beta)

I think your right, infact i would put a small bet on that the final gaes online graphics will basically look excatly the same as the beta.

Public beta's are for stress testing the servers with large volumes of players for proper stress test's to be done they will need a beta version that has about the same amount of visuals as the retail version to achieve meaningful results to use for optimization.

Public betas are also marketing, they want positive feedback from media and consumers and so the beta will be more than likely the latest version available at the time of the release and since the release is only a few weeks away to beta will more than likely be almost the same as the complete version in terms of graphics etc, obviously not all modes etc are there, and they still need around 2 weeks for production and shipping so i would again bet R2 is 95-100% completed.

Although im not a developer so what do i know it's just an assumption, the graphics are fine every time we have a beta and fangirls are upset they always say "its a beta the final version will look much better" and how many times has that come true, none to my recollection.

[QUOTE="Gesyma"]I think it's looks incredible! I think a lot of people are assuming that I think it looks bad when in reality I'm just arguing that, in my opinion, I think this is indicative of the retail version of the game. Geeeeez.;)PhysicsLCP

The reason for online beta (at least ours anyway) is to gather data so that when the final product is shipped we've ironed out any kinks. Bugs, balancing, network problems, etc...

We're even releasing patches for the Beta to improve the experience even before the game comes out.

Our fans are very important to us. It's an act of good faith to release a Beta but it's necessary with such a big online experience. You just can't test that sort of thing with a limited group size.

People can think what they will about how the game looks, I'll never put anyone down for their opinion as I view each opinion as valuable as long as there is some indication of intelligence. "Thiz game SuXorS cuz I haz the PLorbem with XP" doesn't really do it for me.

People that give constructive criticism are more likely to be heard and you never know, something that's been nagging you might just be fixed later.

Single player has been finished, but we can patch the multiplayer as long as we want, whenever we want. In a sense, the MP experience is never finished, as is true for a great deal of other online games. This goes for AI, bugs, re-balancing, etc...

i just started the beta tonight and i cant even tell you, the 8 player co-op is an amazing feature in this game

HAHA! YEAH OKAY! I'm sorry man... but I'm gonna have to call you out on this one. You are not an Insomniac developer. If anyone believes this they are officially insane. These forums get weirder and weirder by the day.

MusashiSensi

If you've been on these forums long enough, it's pretty safe to say that this guy is an Insomniac developer.

You sir, win failure of the day.

If you've been on the forum for years then you'd know that people come up with the alpha omega lies here. Also, you started on this site in 07, so you should be the last one to talk about someone being here long.

Maybe my faith and trust in humanity hasn't been completely broken yet then. :oops:
