For you tards who has never played Resistnace and are downplaying and saying this is a bad idea, dont know the structure of Resistance 1.
Here are some things to know:
1. Cercerning the issue (omg 60 players??! how can you communicate with everyone talking at once).
-Easy, just as in R1 (resistance 1) there are squads within your team, where only those people can hear you.
(Oh but that sucks ifonly 5 people can hear you, what about the rest of the team?!?!). It's open mic within the squad, and you press and hold R3 (?) to talk to the rest of the team on the fly.
(But its the PS3 and no one has mics!!1!) - Shush it, its true in games like WArhawk and even COD4 no one talks, but the community in Resistance is just as alive as any community on any console/platform. Plus theres actually a reason to communite even more now, with squads and medics and etc.

2. Concerning the issue (omg its 60 players?!?! wtf its going to be chaotic!!)
-True, if that was the default/mandatory setting. Resistance 1 had many game types fit for 40 players, and usually deathmatches were much smaller maps of 16 or 32 players. that was the usual. From experience, 40 player matches were very rare, and not every map supported it anyways.
-(The lag? omfg the laggag.) shush it, its well known now that Sony online games DO NOT LAG. warhawk with all those planes at high speed and missles flying and explosives and 32 players never lagged. Same with resistance and their 40 players online. Even my friend who had a constant bad connection over games like Socom, FFXI, and CAC never lagged in those games. Its simply amazing and is nothing to be worried about.
-The only cercern should be map design. Respawn points shouldnt be an issue, they learned and patched R1 of those problems.
map design if the key and only cercern for this to work. Everything else is covered.
As for graphics, etc. Just check the upgrade from Resistance to R&C, all within a year. Keep in mind Resistance 1 was also just a launch game. PD0 looked like complete crap compared to games 2 years later on the 360. Pus, you cant go wrong with 60 artists employed under that team.
and, this has been confirmed by Jstevenson. no BS here. and...
please, fanboys, I understand you love your console but give respect to this annoucment. This will only make your favorite games better. This is competition. I appreciated it when Halo 3 went ahead with the features they had online, with recording ur matches and such. That only will make online gaming better. So chill out, and be happy thatt with atleast conole gaming, things are being pushed ahead.
