While it was generic and felt like a call of duty except with Aliens it's pretty good for a launch title I enjoyed it more than Halo 3 in most cases.

This is one of the few FPS that I would say Halo 3 beat with an ugly stick. The multiplayer was atrocious and the single player was just as exciting.

While I do agree with your multiplayer complaint on Resistance:FoM that its generic. I find Halo 3's multi as equally generic but slightly more fun.
Even if the first R:FoM is generic I wouldn't count out the sequel just yet since the features of the sequel just by itself sound really impressive and I think Insomniac really wants to give other PS3 online FPS and 360 FPS and maybe even Wii FPS a run for their money. And I really do think Insomniac can be a much better developer than Bungie can.

60 player online and 8 player online Co-Op sounds really good, especially with the familiarity of N. America as the backdrop

QFT!

That is sad because it is so true.

It is too bad that Insomniac is so, well, uncreative. They are a great developer when it comes to the technical side of things with polished gameplay, and while I LOVE games like Ratchet and Clank for PS3 they are far from creative. Makes me wonder if Sony has them on a tight leash when it comes to what kinds of games they can develop, if they do, I wish they would let up on it and let them explore their talents a bit more. They could be a great asset if they can get some creativity flowing and not rehashing the same formula (and R&C is the biggest example of this) or trying to emulate Bungie.

That actually reminds me of Naughty Dog even though Uncharted was critically acclaimed I don't think its the best PS3 game. I'm sure its a good game on its merits like Resistance is I think both suffer from carbon copy syndrome from other games in the same genre.

Yeah Naughty Dog is pretty bad at it as well, leading me to believe that Sony is the problem not them. Uncharted, whether people want to admit it or not, was basically Gears of War in the jungle right down to almost identical control methods and conveniently placed barriers.

Well TY I never really was a PC gamer and my primary computer is a 2.16GHz dual core Macbook. And I know that PC games don't really like macbooks especially with integrated graphics cards.

That is the stance I take. Purty trailers no longer impress especially coming from Sony who has deceived over and over again when it comes to trailers (Lair anyone?). I don't expect the game to be anything but average or slightly above. Hopefully I'm wrong but I'm not that optimistic.

And then you have Sonic Riders.

Assume? No. Hope? Yes.
But not for Killzone or Resistance.
