Resistance 1 was actually a good game though. 2 ruined the series though, for sure.

How can a bog-standard shooter from the brown-era of video-games be better or worse than the previous title? Though I remember Condemned 1 was a classic hobo-punching simulator while Condemned 2 was nonsense.

It's odd looking at any one studio's output and see they did entire series one after another that are hugely different in direction: Insomniac did Spider-Man after Resistance, Monolith did FEAR before Shadow of Mordor, Naughty Dog did two cartoon-mascots before going into Indiana Jones and Oscar bait. The now-dead Irrational followed SWAT 4 with Bioshock and Valve devolved from shooters to releasing a P2W card-game to show their utter disdain for players.

What was that one FPS that was either 360 or PS3 that advertised how each bullet had its place and that you could see all of the bullet holes left behind?

Ooh man, that is a lot of first person shooters from that gen I think. I want to say Battlefield 3, but I am pretty sure not a single one of those games actually delivered on this.

Resistance 1 was actually of one of the first FPSes to marry elements of 90's FPS design with the 2000's era design, i.e. you had an entire arsenal to work with instead of being stuck with just two guns at time, there was regen health but it only regenerated at certain thresholds and you needed medkits if you got hurt too much, etc. It was a fun shooter.

2 just became a crappy 2000's shooter with all the 90's design elements removed.

Hi thread it’s Halloween night, I’m drinking Dogfish Pumpkin Ale and I decided to start playing the Resident Evil 2 remake which I got off the steam sale.

It is cool and good and loving terrifying playing in a dark room with headphones.

Its not very good. Like, it is a painful transitory state between CoD shooters and Action Shooting and it just doesnt work and also it has godawful unskippable cutscenes and some absolutely arbitrary difficulty rocket launches

Oh, my bad then. I could have sworn it was the generation after that.

It seems like a pretty boring way to advertise your FPS though, by saying that your FPS has bullets in it and that your bullets will hit stuff when you fire your gun.

From what I hear it was impressive tech wise, and not even a bad game at all, just it was not much less generic than it looked

Black advertised itself as gun porn and I remember they would have teasers that were several minutes of the guy doing reload animations and all that business.

Resistance is one of like three shooter series in existence to actually have fun, interesting weapons and not the standard generic pistol/AR/shotgun that everything else uses. It gets major points for that.

Resistance 2 hosed everything up by ditching campaign co-op for some dumb role-based horde mode.

Resistance 3 was good again, though.
