to this page and add the quality rating to that template instead of this project banner. See WP:PIQA for details.Cloven
The cloven should be added under the species list
What in the hell are Clovens anyway. Johnny542 20:39, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
The Cloven are not a form of Chimera. Therefore, they should not be included. A separate heading could be included though, but the little info we have is from the intel you pick up. Dboyz-x.etown 08:13, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
Could the X-Rays be a part of the The Cloven? 24.127.4.36 23:27, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
In the section where you get the the sniper rifle for the first time, one of the solders screams out "are the blokes on black on our side?" could that be a refrence to the Cloven? There occasionally dead bodies in black hidden in the game, mostly recognised for having morse code blaring from their radios.User:Guru Larry
"are the blokes on black on our side?" I think this is to do with the black ops that pick you up at the end of the game.User:Ackers
Ah, cool, So infact you never actually get to see the Cloven in the game, just writings about them in the journal enteries? user:Guru Larry
The blokes in black are part of the US forces. The helicopter thing they come out of at the end of the game has US markings on the side —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 218.215.194.238 (talk • contribs).
Yep, you never get to see them but i have a feeling they will be in the sequel and another thing is that from my discovery's (looking in a lot of forums) they injected you with some sort of vaccine (or something) against the virus and monitor you all the way through the game! The morse code you hear in every pause screen in every different level of the game is the black ops that are monitoring you sending secret messages back to base to update them on your progress.user:Ackers
the other guy was right- those guys in black (no doubt the 'X-rays') must be US agents, because everything they own has that weird star symbol thing on it, not just the chopper at the end of the game. i'm also sure that the x-rays and the cloven are different things- after all, the x-ray transmissions are in english, arent they? exactly Tryzon 14:36, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
Does anyone think that the x-rays will be enemies in RFOM 2? Grayjack 15:42, 11 July 2007 (UTC)Grayjack
I don't think the X-Rays will be the enemies in the Resistance sequel. Like they said, the X-Rays are most probably Americans and not Cloven. First because of the unlockable skin in multiplayer and second because if they were Cloven, they wouldn't need the protection against infection as they would have been proven to have a resistance to it not unlike Hale's. Plus, they are described as Russian maniacs in intel reports. user:SDBR39952
Title
I noticed Sixteen Left removed my explaination of the title. I understand his reasoning for not putting it in the main article, but I still want to include it, so I'm putting it here, on the Talk Page.
- Note: "I-8" will probably not be the real title of the game. "I-8" is probably just Insomniac's way of saying that this is Insomniac's 8th project. However, from their list of games here, it will most likely be their 9th game released after Ratchet: Deadlocked. Perhaps they started work on it before Ratchet: Deadlocked - that's why it's "I-8" and not "I-9." -Hyad 3 July 2005 02:34 (UTC)
CPU Usage Confirmed Unoffically in Interview
A interview with Ted Price confirmed that 1 PPE was used for the majority of the mathematical computer eqasions. One SPE was used for artifical intellegence on both sides while a second SPE was used for both ragdoll physics and explosions. Renegadeviking 12/24/06 12:08PM (CST)

Sloud we edit it or not ?
-Ratchetcomand 30 Augest 2006 02:34 (UTC)
- No. Your article even says it's not official yet. --HQ 00:29, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
On the official site it says the Russian revolution never occured, because the tzar stopped it , maybe this should be included in the settting? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.105.29.94 (talk • contribs) .
- A lot of things on the official site should be added. The defeat of the Bolsheviks is definitely one of them. Someone is going to have to rewrite the story and setting sections, because I can not word things well. --HQ 01:41, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
Hedgehog
"the Hedgehog, much like it name implies, will float up and launch many spikes into anything around it."
This really made me laugh. Does the name hedgehog imply floating up and launching spikes? I've never seen a hedgehog do that! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by OAP boba (talk • contribs) .
- That's what I meant when I said I can't word things well. --HQ 01:29, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
It was obvious what you meant, but quite funny when taken literally. I've reworded it...is that better? OAP boba 08:23, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
- Much. --HQ 21:36, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
Enemies
Enemies are supposed to be smarter in this game capible of weighing options. focusing more on innate behaviors then flat out scripting, no 2 battles are supposedly repeated.
The Chimara types (Leapers, Hybrids, Howlers, ect..) also include different "personalities" you can say. The Leapers being more animalistic (and my guess focus more on swarming you), where "Menials" are more zombie-ish, slow, and try to grab you to bite you. and Howlers(those big dog-like creatures) will try more to leap up and pin you down (like a dog) and bite you.
Someone needs to make a list of the various Chimera (it's just weird that there's weapons but not enemies). ListedRenegade 15:59, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
- well as you can see I started to already so lets continue to add on.
- Leapers- Leapers are your basic weak Chimera. takes little damage to kill them but they often appear in swarms.
- Howlers- sorta like a man-sized dog. they are big and mean and my guess strong.
- Menials- these are the pushovers. they are genrally not fighters just movers. they are slow and easy targets.
- Slip-skulls- These are the guys you see in the pictures as the ones on the walls they are pretty ugly but they can climb up walls and jump across to other walls. they are armed with the Reaper.
- Grey Jacks- they are the tall skinny things that you see in the pictures strangling your comrades! they look a bit on the slow side but have longer melee range than most others. also said to be able to rip a human in two with ease.
- Chimera Hybrids- These guys are the guys you see in just about every picture! very ugly but genrally very dangerous beings. these guys use guns. not just any guns but the same guns as you! so watch out these guys will kill you if given the chance. (just like everything else!)
- these guys come in different looks. From a full face view of them to a combat mask. They are also a playable creature in multiplayer. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Konfusedkat (talk • contribs) .
aside from the regular hybrids theres also Chimera Elite, robo, and huge forms of these so watch out for them.
Widow Makers- these are big spider-like creatures that blast out the sapper shots from their mouths. they also use theres feet and teeth.
Stalkers- yes these to are enemies. they are the big robotic forms of stalkers. they have one known weakness. the back of the head.

IGN Review is Up
I'll add the link to it.

- Didn't check references. Someone made it before me. ;) Arctic-Editor 16:47, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Air Fuel Grenade?
It seems to me that the section on the "Air Fuel Grenade" is a little confusing. I assume that it's some kind of thermobaric (or "fuel air" weapon) but I wanted to check before editing if "air fuel" has some other meaning that I don't know of. RWyn 18:09, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
- That's definitely what it is. Reword it as you see it necessary. --HQ 21:45, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks, I've added a link to Thermobaric weapon and added some stuff about the similarity to Halo's plasma grenade. I got my information from any third-party sources I could find using Google, so please change it back if I messed up. RWyn 00:42, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Chimera Theory
I'm not really familiar with this game and saw someone edit the article and add all of the below text, so I reverted the article and moved the text here in case anyone needs it. Bgold4 15:50, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
This part is a theory on what the Chimera are. (Written by someone different from above)
I'm using facts from the cutscenes and snippits of info from the Resistance: Fall of Man Website.
Did you notice the armor the guys were wearing was very anti-chimera? There's no skin exposed for crawlers to bite, and the masks provide seperate air from any airborne biological weapons. Also, the US army symbol is on their arms. I think that the Chimera were an American Biological Weapon. The Americans (in the game) released the virus into Russia, where they wanted to see what it was capable of. See, Russia was sealed off at the time, and the Iron Curtain was supposedly Impregnable. The Virus infected the russians for the better part of the Decade, then it breaks across the Iron Curtain. Europe falls to the Chimera, and the USA collects data on it. How? By being the Cloven (The President in the Game, is acting Like a dictator. He probably made the virus as a weapon to attack the rest of the world or something) Then The Chimera manage to get across to Britain, and somehow, someway, manage to capture a angel. (Chimera Leader) The US wants one so they can study it and presumeably and find a way to control the Chimera. SO they agree to send some soldiers and pretend to help, so they can get the angel. Also, sending more people to be infected helps them find a way to have a cure for the virus. In the website, it says there are camps across the US for XXXXXXXX. I think those are chimera research centers. So after the game ends, the US gets a bunch of New tech from the Smart Chimera Virus, and it gets chimera infected subjects to study, with one (Nathan Hale) Still being alive. That's why they found him so quickly, so they could study him.
- My theory on the Chimera is that they came to earth (regardless of the previous alternate history) as a result of the Tunguska event, which was in 1908; if you pay attention to the cutscenes and maps that show the spread and supposed epicenter of the Chimera takeover of Russia, they correspond well with where this event occurred. As for the timing and growth (again shown through cutscenes), one could say that it took a couple decades for the Chimera virus to convert mass on earth into machinery to convert humans to Chimera, at which point it could exponentially grow so that by the 1930s it would have forces to start taking over small villages and so on. As to what Chimera is, I think it's artificial virus meant for the equivalent of terraforming planets buy only by converting the native species into something it can use. --Masem 17:32, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
I think they are genectically engineered mutants or just mutants like it says in their Chimera Wikipedia article. If they were aliens, they would have had enough technology to take over the whole world...not the entire contienents of Europe and Asia. Instead they could be, like the article says, a mutant race created by the bio-weapon known as the Chimera virus and when they evolved into a entire military race and gain enough intelligence, they used the technology they created to conquer the contienents. If they had even more advanced technology like hover-crafts or flying spaceships, they would have conquered the entire world in the time they first appeared. Instead they have still-advanced items like the Goliaths and Burrowers to take over at least parts of Asia and Europe, I think thats how the Chimera got into Britain. This is my theroy and what I think the Chimera are. Johnny542 05:29, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
- The Alien theory has the most credible support behind it as it has a strong precceeding event to cause it to happen. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 164.116.71.226 (talk • contribs).
Wikipedia is not a place for speculation like this. Also Cloven speak Russian so they are not American
- Tunguska event fits the initial outbreak of the Chimera and their spread across Europe, but remember those towers they excavate? It's less simple than aliens carried to earth by a meteoroid.
I have been informed by a strong source at Insomniac(Who's name i cannot disclose) that the Chimera came to earth by crash landing millions of years ago, hence killing the dinosaurs, then they built their towers and hid their weapons and left. Then in 1908 they crash landed again, this was the Tunguska event, and began excavating their towers, facilities and weapons to take over the world.-- conorsykes@hotmail.co.uk, PSN: Syko_CoNoR Conor Sykes (talk) 19:43, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
Regardless of any of these theories, there certainly will be a lot of things needing to be explained about the Chimera in Resistance 2. And as well as that the cloven, black opps. And particuarly if all that weird morse code and freaky fuzzy radio messaging you hear all over the place are the black opps watching you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.137.79.174 (talk) 05:37, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
Use of Future Tense
I was looking through the article, and in some cases — most notably in the "Multiplayer" section — the future tense is used when talking about the game, even though it was a launch title (in other words, it was released on November 17, 2006 in the U.S.). An example: “Insomniac Games is currently planning to utilize the Playstation 3’s online service...” I figured we should change this to the present tense, because the game has already been released (something like “Insomniac Games utilizes the PlayStation 3’s online service...”). I figured this would be pretty uncontroversial, but I thought I’d ask anyway. —BrOnXbOmBr21 06:35, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
- yeah change the tense if you want. I wont because im too lazy. Dappled Sage 01:57, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
Resistance: Fall of Man 2
Well think about it in the game you only liberate England not Europe or Russia so maybe a couple more games to explain where the Chimera came from or where they get their tech (such as the metal towers and stalkers).Sam ov the blue sand 03:46, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Yeah that would be cool if a sequel is made. Like you said only Britain was liberated and not Europe and Asia and there isn't much about where the Chimera came from or what in the hell they are. Johnny542 13:50, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
Getting too FAQish...
The weapons section is rather text heavy and a lot of the information seems to be edging more on a game faq or walkthough as opposed to a WP article. There should probably be some significant cutting of information here.--Masem 00:33, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
- All that info is in the game and so should be put in the article.Sam ov the blue sand 02:54, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
- Just because it's in the game and fully verifiable from game sources, full weapon lists are strongly discouraged - that's information for a FAQ (See WP:NOT#IINFO). Also see what is currently topic #7 in [[1]] regardines "Lists of X/Y/Z...". Same with the vehicle lists, particularly since there's only one vehicle the player can actually use. The only list that should be on the page is the major characters/species. The weapons section should be reduced down to something along the lines "The game features weapons both of human construction circa 1950, weapons created by the Chimera, and versions of Chimera weapons reverse-engineered by human forces." and then maybe a brief example or two (like the Auger). Anything more on this and we're just describing material that should be in a game faq and becomes listcruft. --Masem 14:53, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Recent spat of vandalism
Anyone know why R:FoM is seemingly getting a lot of vandalism? Is there some weird meme or the like that's encouraging people to do this? Or just anti-PS3 people or others just being stupid? --Masem 23:54, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
- Just revert and wait until someone can block him.Sam ov the blue sand 02:55, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
I know what you mean, there seems to be a lot of vandilism of the X-Ray Agents stuff. I am not sure if this information is right but if it isn't, it should be changed. Johnny542 13:48, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
- The X-Ray stuff is right but you need to tell which missions they come from.Sam ov the blue sand 03:30, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- I think the X-ray stuff is more because, unless you access the Morse code stuff, it's not apparent or official literature for the game, and thus up for debate and frequent changes. I was talking more about the people that are added "THIS GAME SUCKS" type stuff. --Masem 04:11, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Historical Inaccuracy...
I was wondering if we could post a little critique subsection regarding any possible inaccuracies within the game's alternate history. For example, FDR was elected primarily because of the troubles of Great Depression, which did not occur in the Resistance timeline. Franck Drake 14:42, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
- It's an alternate history. Things that didn't happen in real life are to be expected. --HQ 02:51, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
How did the US Rangers come around? They were created in World War Two, being trained by British Commandos. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.23.134.118 (talk • contribs).
Where did all the alternate history come from?Grayjack 02:38, 19 July 2007 (UTC)Grayjack
- Um...it's a game...--Eloc 08:43, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
there are a lot of untied knots in the game, this being one of them. We'll just have to wait till' Dawn of Fate. Machine758 20:49, 13 September 2007 (UTC)Machine758
Sequel
Section was blanked. Couldn't figure out who did it. Should we restore it? -NordsternMN 20:33, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
It should be restored as long as the info was true.Grayjack 02:18, 5 August 2007 (UTC)Grayjack
Date Inaccuracy?
The article states that this game was released in the US on November 14, 2006. However, the PS3 didn't come out until Nov. 17. Is the release date in error?J.delanoy 00:24, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- No, it isn't. A few PS3 games were indeed released on the 14th, Resistance being one of them. --HQ 00:19, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
PS3 Haters Comment
Some PS3 hating, xbox loving vandal said this game was a poor man gears of war, so I removed it.
- If it is a poor man's Gears of War than why is the PS3 $600 and the 360 is either $400 or $480 so I guess you could say that Gears of War is a poor mans Resistance. I'm just commenting, I found that funny.Sam ov the blue sand 14:35, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
- But you still don't put that in the article. Machine758 18:57, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
Spoiler warning?
Shouldn't the story section have a spoiler warning? Perhaps somewhere before it is revealed what the British 'secret weapon' is, and at least before the ending scene is described? (I've taken the liberty of tagging the 'plot synopsis' section btw) --Lemi4 13:53, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- Based the new policy on spoilers per WP:SPOILER, sections marked "Plot" or "Story" carry an implicit spoiler tag. Thus, spoiler warnings are redundant. (There probably was a spoiler warning there a while ago, but there's a huge effort to remove unneeded spoiler tags.) --Masem 14:15, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- One has popped up again, killing it with fire. WP:SPOILER clearly states that a section called "Plot" or "Story" needs no spoiler tag. Please do not add it again. Goldfritter 11:44, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
Church of England controversy
I found this amusing; http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/6736809.stm might be worth noting. --Caiman 13:39, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
I'm making some small changes to this section. Comments will be most welcome. The major change is to take "Church of England" out of the dispute - it is Manchester Cathedral, a different body.
CoE section neutrality
I've added Sony's statements on the matter. Can the neutrality dispute tag be removed now? --GracieLizzie 17:50, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
- I would say it is ; most of the section is direct quotes from both sides so there's no WP editor bias in it. I'm sure there'll be more Monday too. --Masem 18:18, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
Screen shot of Cathedral scene would be helpful
If anyone who has the game could provide a screenshot of the battle in the Cathedral that would be helpful for the article. Perferrably not only would it have some easily identifible Church image, such as stained glass or a cross or something, but it really should also contain a pic of whichever alien beasty that your doing battle with in there.
I've heard a couple interviews with the Dean of the Cathedral and no one as of yet has asked him if he's saying that the Church would side with flesh eating aliens if it suddenly found itself transported to this fictional reality. Is he suggesting Jesus loves Slipskulls and Greyjacks? I don't have a PS3 but I'm tired of videogame haters going off without even looking at the product. So someone please post a pic of you battling a fanged nightmare inside the Cathedral.
Game sales topple 2 million?
Use this source for whatever you like.
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8PPE8KG0&show_article=1
1. It claims that Sony has apologized for the Cathedral scandral, and other info
2. The article claims that Resistance has sold more than 2 million units worldwide.
I'm putting the source up for grabs. Use it for what you want.
7FlushSetzer 01:10, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
- In the Jan. 17, 2008 Insomniac podcast, they mention that the game has sold over 2 Million copies while interviewing a Bungie rep. Evilkeen (talk) 23:44, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
Controversy with Manchester Cathedral, England
I think it should have its own article this article is about the game not the controversy. Sam ov the blue sand 19:22, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
- I would say that if there's no further developments in the next week, that can be significantly reduced in size and kept on this page - the "event" is not sufficient to merit its own page, but it is too much post-fallout of the event on the page. --Masem 19:37, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
- This is supposed to be an encyclopedia. When all is said and done, the most encyclopedic information about the game are the fact that it was a PS3 launch title and the furore it has created. All this stuff about the monsters and the plot is very interesting to fans and gamers, I'm sure, but it is those two things that are about how the game affected the wider world around it. Yes, some of the material could do with pruning, but the controversy is and should be an integral part of any article about this game that aims to be encyclopedic. GDallimore (Talk) 12:54, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
- We've yet to see how 'important' this event is. If the end result is that any game developer that wants to use a public place in a game has to seek permission, this is a ground breaking event at which point it likely will merit its own page. If the end result is that the CoE gets a couple million from Sony and that's it, it's not significant and more a footnote to it's release; as such I would treat it like the "Controversy" section over at Bully.
- Problem is right now, there's not enough information and the story isn't definitely over. Thus, we keep the full blown details on the main page, but after a week or more, if no other major news breaks about it, I would consider reducing much of the language to key sound bites but certainly keeping a portion of it on the page. This falls under What WP is Not. --Masem 13:52, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
- That bully article looks pretty good to me, and the controversy section is about a quarter of its total length, which seems appropriate too. Agreed that all this needs revisiting once the final curtain has fallen. GDallimore (Talk) 14:24, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
Rating for UK?
The rating section lists PEGI's rating as 18+, however I could've sworn at one point that Playstation Network listed it as 16+. Has the rating been raised recently? Also, should we list that the BBFC has a 15 on the game box? 82.41.128.207 22:22, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
The game has a PEGI rating of 18+. The BBFC only have stuff like that on boxes if the game contains cinematic content. Like Destroy All Humans! 1. Machine758 18:56, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
Co-op
Is it 2 player co-op or 4 player co-op.Sam ov the blue sand 00:19, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

- Thank you now I see there's no point in buying another 2 controllers.Sam ov the blue sand, Editor Review 22:18, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
- It's 2-player co-op, 4-player offline multiplayer. Scarslasher (talk) 01:48, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
Note on alternative history stuff
Generally, game article plots (particularly for FPS as opposed to RPGs) should not be excessive. The alternate history stuff was good, but for an encyclopedia article about the game, it borders on being too much, yet the fact that much of it can be wikilinked in sorta makes me think that it may make for a good secondary article "Alternate History of the Resistance series" (presuming that more will be learned in R2). So I've "cut" out most of it (the original stuff is there in html comment) and reduced that down to "ok, russia shuts down, no WWII, and then suddenly, there's the chimera" which is the most basic stuff needed to understand the alternate history as it pertains to the game itself. --Masem 17:08, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Where did all of the alternative history come from?Grayjack 15:39, 11 July 2007 (UTC)Grayjack
- From the official Resistance website, which has an entire timeline going back to 1898, giving the backstory for the game. I agree, the series has a pretty in-depth storyline which a lot of thought has gone into, and an article covering the alternate history of the series (including events from the game itself, and the Map Pack 1, which according to the website takes place after the main game) would be good. I'd be prepared to write it as I've finished the game and feel pretty knowledgeable about the subject matter. --Bohrok Awakener 18:24, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
Media bias
I think mention should be made of the fact that most mainstream British news sources claim that gang(?) shootouts take place within the cathedral, despite no such events taking place in-game.
I don't think it deserves input into the article, but maybe the subject matter of the game was inapropriate. Who knows? Machine758 17:17, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
Game Engine?
What game engine does Resistance run on? I think it should be included in the article because other games sometime put the game engine in the article.Brett 91091 19:24, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
- This info is usually put into the infobox at the top right, but in this case, I don't believe this is a licensed engine or the like (similar to Unreal 3 or Havok) so there's no information about it. --Masem 20:23, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the info.Brett 91091 02:08, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
It's a very heavily modified Ratchet & Clank/Jak & Daxter engine. Machine758 18:53, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
Current event template
Is the dispute with the Church of England still going on? I'm asking this because I haven't seen anything of it in the news and hte section hasn't changed in a while. If the event has ended, the template should be removed. Looneyman 14:36, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
Sopny has officially apologised but the original demand of banning the game has not been fulfilled (obviously). I'm unawares of what status that leaves the case. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Machine758 (talk • contribs) 17:14, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
Resistance film
Whats the source for this? No source is given in the article and there is nothing mentioned on the Michael Bay article... sounds like a hopeful fan's dream, TBH. Bohrok Awakener 13:54, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
Please answer ASAP
Is there a way to turn off the cursing without the mute button ? If I were to turn of the blood on the game menu would this also turn of the language. Answer ASAP. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.6.37.146 (talk) 22:56, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
- Uh there is no way to turn off the cursing, sorry.Sam ov the blue sand, Editor Review 21:50, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Thnx, oh well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.6.37.146 (talk) 02:29, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
How much do they curse, what words do they use and how often? I need to know this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.6.37.146 (talk) 21:33, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
- shit, screw, crap, damn, and a couple of times, fuck.Sam ov the blue sand, Editor Review 00:17, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks again, that's not to bad. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.6.37.146 (talk) 05:40, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
It is a Mature game though, you should expect that kinda stuff. :) Machine758 20:57, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I remember Killzone, with one bit where the guy keeps on saying die mother f***ers and for some reason he kept on repeating it every 5 seconds(mabye my ps2 was getting too hot) . :) User:dd3 20:57, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
Dead Bodies
when you kill somone, do the bodies dissapear or stay there? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.6.37.146 (talk) 20:18, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
- I believe that the body will stay where it is... But I'm not 100% sure. Dan 00:46, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
- If the bodies disappear, they will at least remain visible for a ridiculously long time. --HQ 00:42, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
Rumble
Given this game is disc-based, how will it be updated with rumble? Will there be a new file on the hard drive that will recognise when the game is loaded and run alongside? 86.17.211.191 00:27, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
Yes, that's exactly what happens. This will tell you more. Machine758 20:56, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
Sequel
Exactly how much has been confirmed about this sequel byond that it will happen? --HQ 19:57, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
that it's been confirmed, and that certain parts have been revealed.Sam ov the blue sand, Editor Review 01:46, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
Gamespot tournament
Shouldn't we add that, I mean it seems notable enough, we would have several 3rd and 2ndary sources.Sam ov the blue sand, Editor Review 03:01, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
Awards & Reviews infobox
I replaced the template that was used for the review ratings with what I found to be a more recent template. This fixed the quote from the Church controversy was misplaced. I also incorporated the awards won by this game into that template and removed that list from the text body. I think it looks better. Hopefully others agree. will381796 (talk) 17:52, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Locked sections at us.playstation.com/resistance
On Sony's official Resistance website ([2]), there is a map/timeline detailing the fictional history of the game. However, there are two red points on the map which are marked as "locked" events (located in Alaska and California). I know this isn't a discussion forum for discussing the game, but I'm wondering if anyone know how to access these two locked events? It seems like it wants some sort of password... I'm asking because I'm currently construcing a Resistance Wikia that could benefit greatly from this information. Thanks. --Bohrok Awakener (talk) 17:47, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
Guinness
A part of the article, labeled Guinness, is not only a small section which in my opinion is unworthy of a titlehead, but is also inappropriately placed. This needs to be moved from the "story" section to the "critical reception" section. However my attempts to move it were immediately reversed. In order to avoid an editing war, what is everyone's thoughts on the subject? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rucha58 (talk • contribs) 02:37, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- I was trying to remove it, not move it to a new location. Sorry about that. But, anyway, I removed it because it's un-sourced and sounds pretty fake to me. If you find a reference for it, I'd put it in the intro paragraph.--Koji†Dude (C) 02:42, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
