Never heard of it. Mind providing a link, like any useful internet user would? And while you're taking the time, provide some details as to why you think it's shit.
Nice post, shame you couldn't make a good review out of it.
'So in our timeline, World War II never really happened. What we're dealing with is an extrapolation of historical events from a turning point in 1931 and really saying, what if America never got involved in the war in Europe? What if a united Nazi Germany basically attacked America in 1950 at the height of a kind of an American isolationism?'
Looking at all the screens its like a PS2 game with higher res textures... but they arent higher resolution at all.
I know graphics arent everything but this one seems to try hard to be ultra gritty and realistic. Couple it with the fact its like one of the oldest premises - war, its pretty dull. Strikes me as a mod project someone would do, not something I'd want to shell out full price for.

""Corncob 3D/Deluxe is an early flight sim where WW2 never happened because Hitler had a fatal injury in his youth. However, in it's place, aliens have decided to invade Earth (again) because they need someone to clean their toilets (not really a joke)."
edit: lulz, Rhinokey just told me the story behind Resistance
I played the demo last night. The games opening with german air balloons coming through the clouds i thought was very well done, until I realized that i was in control. .
(Having recently done a lot of particle FX in Unreal3, I noticed mistakes instantly with the fire & burning buildings, impacts, etc. but that's just me analyzing their FX work.)
The demo was extremely scripted, I really hope that the full game isn't like this. I thought the AI was a little dumb at times and the weapon firing seemed weird. I only played the demo for about 10 mins, then deleted it. The graphics definitely aren't anywhere near the polished quality that is expected today using Unreal. Since the game is almost ready to ship I would bet that they are probably doing optimization currently.
Is this something I would Rent on gamefly, probably not.
What if during ww2, a secret organization with mech like battle armor and laser weapons was bent on taking over the world, and it was up to an elite squad to stop them?
This game looks pretty lame. It kind of annoys me when people take their games too seriously. Social commentary blah blah blah.
They actually made a crack at the Wolfenstein series for being too fantasy and not enough reality. Comparison is inevitable, with alt-history nazis and all... But I don't feel like I'm in any competition here :P
Although, I do appluad them for blowing up the white house. It's kind of a bold thing to do for a game that takes itself seriously.
What if Hitler was not only a woman, but also got impregnated by Joseph Stalin and created a super dictator who rules over the 80's world with an Anti-Semitic Iron fist!?!??!
Yeah, see, it's terrible.
I was shooting at a guy poking out from a wall and it was hitting the box which was like 2 inches to the left of where I was shooting.
Also I was standing and another guy was shooting at me and I was infront of a box and I wasn't getting hit, and bulletholes appeared in front of me. The lighting is bad. The characters look shoddy, the animations are poor, the story IS overused, but still entertaining.
Fuck this.

personally I think the scenario is uncreative and 'overproduced'

It's buggy.

that would be an awesome F'n game!!!
looks like basically they just put nazi flags on historical European monuments, and then made a WWII shooter

I like how they took a page out of some better games by having events happen around you in real time, but that was the extent of which I enjoyed it
Alternate Dimension WWII games are IN!
What if Hitler was a woman? NEW GAME!
oh my that was bad

I just played the demo for this.
The game is absolute shit, but I like the idea a lot.
A shame they couldn't make a good game around it.
