Resistance 2 Co-Op Gameplay
Give the people something to play:
EmilioZ: Brunout Paradise
AustinD: Warhammer Online
Wow you mentioned me on your podcast. Anyway, I think resistance 2 will be better than Killzone 2 because IMO you get more value for your money in R2 and I think the single player mode in its looking strong while in Killzone 2 it’s not. I’m not into online that much while austin d. is so I can see how he’s more excited for Killzone 2 because it does look like it has the better online.
I also like split screen more than online and R2 has it for co-op and most likely competive while nothings announced for Killzone 2 yet. If Killzone 2 is announced to have split screen for SP and online(unranked) then I might lean towards Killzone 2 more but there’s only rumors of split screen in the from of DLC.
Co-op in R2 adds more value to R2 and I don’t think people will get bored of it because all the maps layouts randomize every time so every play through is different.
BUT if both these games turn out like their predecessors then both games will be average to good but not great. There’s my opinion. (PS3 out of room).
