First off, if you haven't played Resistance 1 or 2 and would prefer to not to read any spoilers, don't read this. If you have played through Resistance 2, then it's safe to proceed.
This afternoon was the multiplayer reveal for Resistance 3, and while there was the opportunity to play the single player the big news is that the multiplayer in Resistance 3 will have 16 players max. Of course, I think it's just as important that they brought back the weapon wheel - yes, return of the weapon wheel in R3!
Four years after the close of Resistance 2 you join Jospeh Capelli in his hometown of Haven, Oklahoma. Creative Director Marcus Smith cited a "focus on humanity and focus on the individual stories." Four years is just enough time for the Chimera to set their sites on Oklahoma, a cue for you to fight them off. There was mention of the campaign single-player and co-op, but no further discussion of co-op.
All the multiplayer maps are set outside the United States so you will be seeing areas not appearing in the single player campaign - which is centered on the U.S. The multiplayer map shown was set in the Republic of Chad, and featured team deathmatch - later they will announce the objective-based game modes. Asked about vehicles, Insomniac's Senior Community Manager said there will be "no drivable vehicles in the multiplayer".
With 16 players max in the multiplayer the maps are scaled accordingly with the ability to choose a smaller map. Smith touted the ability to "get much more intimate with our enemies" and described the game as a "choice-based shooter". with more open level design .
Abilities are passive and active with the former catering to your play style and offering things like stat buffs. Active abilities on the other hand can grant health or ammo to allies (Ammo Beacon), enhance ally radar (Radar Beacon), make a doppelganger appear or electric hula hoop that causes enemies firing on you to take damage when a shot hits. By earning points you can customize your loadouts. Power-ups in MP are species-specific: an electric riot shield for humans and invisibility for Chimera. Each weapon has primary and secondary fire, and weapons upgrade.
Multiplayer Beta coming to PSN later this year.

We were expecting problems with mod support, but there are a lot of other issues.
Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.
Over 14 GBs and doesn't change much at all? What? Taking up that much drive space for a pathetic 'remastering' is shameful.
Par for Bethesda.
LOL people are actually expecting massive improvements or something? From Bethesda?? the same people who released Skyrim multiple times and the all look like shit? THAT Bethesda? are people for real?
The ps5 version doesn't change a ton but from my small playtime it's enough to make me want to replay it just to have it running at 60.
A side note to this my PS4 version no longer boots after it's "update" so I guess that's what it feels like to own a Bethesda game on PC
As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.
And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.
They buy IPs not talent. That's why these buyouts never work and the IPs die. Right now it's too expensive to develop games - but I expect that to shift maybe as AI tools can make it easier. The best games have been indie games for awhile as big developers fuck their ips to death with "games as a service" -
A voice actor from The Coalition's third-person shooter series, Gears of War, has hinted at a new game announcement coming in June.
Hopefully Microsoft will go back to the original story line and get away from that woke nonsense from the last Gears game Gears of Woke! But were talking about Microsoft so all the betting money is on more of the same woke nonsense.
I see my questions in there :)
16-player caps on the multi? Boo.
So, does that mean 16v16 or 8v8?
maybe because the graphics are better they had to downgrade the players online who knows
Will you only be covering PS3 exclusives?
