By comparison, the technically masterful Resistance was short on emotional impact. That was because Gears came together for me in its epic scope and fully consistent world. When I reviewed both games in 2006, I decided that Microsoft’s game was better than Sony’s. Sony’s Resistance did the same for the fledgling PlayStation 3. Microsoft’s Gears was the first major hit beyond the Halo franchise that established the Xbox 360 as an outstanding platform for hardcore gamers who loved graphics, nonstop action, and clever game mechanics. The 2006 games represented the pinnacle of achievement on their respective platforms.
I can sit in front of the TV and play these games into the wee hours. They’re both over-the-top violent games meant for adult players. I’m immersed in this debate over which game is better. Gears sold more than 5 million copies (or $300 million at retail) and helped Microsoft solidify its second-place showing behind Nintendo, while Resistance sold more than 3 million copies ($180 million at retail) and kept Sony’s third-place PlayStation 3 alive despite a very difficult competitive position.

Personally, I'd rather have a several-minute install the first time I play a game and then enjoy the benefits of faster loads every time I play the game after that." "And I think for consumers it's a good thing because it generally decreases load times. "Installs in some form or another are pretty standard for PS3 games these days," Price said. Polymorph then followed up by asking for Price's views on installs. That's a question we'll be able to answer as we get closer to launch." "We're still finishing up the content for the game. Price was answering a question from Eurogamer reader ps3owner in our live interview earlier, but he was unable to help senso-ji with his query about whether R2 would need a mandatory install. Insomniac Games' President and CEO Ted Price has said that Resistance 2 is targeting "720p, 30fps" as its resolution and frame-rate.
