Only people who actually played both games could tell that, to be honest. You can't really compare reviews because: 1) Resistance comes with MUCH higher expectations 2) It costs $40 while NOVA3 costs $7 3) iOS review sites are generally more lenient In the end both are mediocre games. NOVA 3 looks prettier and have better multiplayer, but Resistance plays better. Modern Combat 4 will probably outclass both though. Not that it's too hard...
Look it comes down to the vita being crap for what it is, $35 more for a worse or equally-good game. Obviously they're different systems but come on. iPad/iPhone > Vita.
N3, from what i gather through reviews and watching actual gameplay, has everything over resistance except physical controls (unless you buy that game pad). That's my point. And all this nova 3 vs resistance is really off topic.
I don't disagree that if we're talking about value NOVA 3 has the edge. Like you said, with Resistance you are paying +$30 for a slightly better (in terms of campaign) but still mediocre shooter. Just not worth it. Call of Duty Declassified will probably be just as bad. Nowadays Modern Combat is the only Gameloft franchise I care about, so I'll definitely be buying MC4.
It's not that off topic. NOVA 3 and Resistance compete with each other just like MC4 will compete with Call of Duty. Similar themes, same developer, etc. I think it's a valid discussion.
I would agree. But I say let's move on now, before we turn this thread into a Vita vs iOS battle (and get me started on how tremendously awful Silent Hill: Book of Memories is ).
Fair enough. On MC4, did you guys notice the soldiers casting real shadows? First time a Gameloft game doesn't use blob shadows? Maybe they will improve the animations too.
Yep. That's a major graphical improvement, hope the framerate doesn't take a hit and I can tweak retina vs full effects on my iPad 3. But the feature list, the guns, the attachments, all of it...just looks astounding. I'm drooling just thinking about it.
nova 3 or wait for mc4? Nova3 is 99 cents currently so...? Answers? I like the theme of nova 3 more... What would be special in mc4 though? A survival mode? Because thats really what matters for me, mc3 and up has good enough graphics and multiplayer unless mc4 REALLY is outrageously good should I stick with nova 3?
If Josh and Jason at Crescent Moon Games can do dynamic shadows in an open world game and still keep a decent framerate, you'd think it would be a cinch for a mega developer like Gameloft .
Don't get me started! A decent port of SH2 would make my day. But then again, Konami couldn't manage to port the game properly to the PS3, so I really have no hope for that . But that's for a different thread.
And probably biggest reason why Resistance was meh is because that was first FPS game that NS ever made... If insomniac made resistance burning skies, hell it could have been way better. How many FPS games Gameloft made so far? I think they made about 9 or 10 so far. They obviously have more knowledge about making FPS games than low-mediocre NS
