I can't wait to get this game, September 6th!

Daver4621d ago

Me too, Resistance 2 disappointed me but I know this one will be a lot better from what i saw so far.

killcycle4620d ago

The coop in Res2 was really fun imo so much was going on on-screen and you don't lose a single frame.

They tried to focus on too many different things and that's what killed it, coop, sp, mp, all the different modes.

I prefer it when games stick to just a small unique bunch of things that make the game what it is and put the dev time into that.

Bull5hifT4620d ago

I actually Despised Them For Wanting to Go Multiplat, ill Buy This , but after seeing some E3 gameplay it looks soo amazing id be very surprised if they can pull anything this good off on the 360

Army_of_Darkness4620d ago

I'm getting this game even though I still got dozens of games to still finish!

Jonah_Reese4620d ago

BattleAxe SHUT UP, I guess you're going to say that huh?

Soldierone4620d ago

Lmao yeah right. I can't wait to see IGN compare it to Halo or COD and call it sub par and "didn't change anything" for the genre....then go and praise the hell out of MW3 saying it "innovated the world" watch...IGN just makes me laugh now.

As for the game, pre ordered and ready to play! :D

Dee_914620d ago

Must ... NOT ... PLAY .. ... BETA !!!!

Kurt Russell4620d ago

I really liked Resistance 2 :(

I am looking forward to this though :D

Ju4620d ago (Edited 4620d ago )

I liked R2. I think what the problem was with the game was polishing. It did shine in various places, but they couldn't keep that level through the whole game. I still think over all it was great.

Now, if they can build on that and take what R:FoM made the series great (atmosphere, narrative, combat style, etc) and pump up the visuals even above R2, well, then, Ladies and Gentlemen, we got a winner.

I remember R2 released with KZ2; around the same time. I played the crap out of both, constantly switching back and forth between those for weeks.

Can't wait for R3!

TooTall194620d ago

Dmarc you should play the beta now. There are a lot of things to learn with the new play changes. They also fixed the freezing issue! After playing the beta I'm tempted to buy now.

WhittO4621d ago

My money is so low lately I can't even afford to buy it! haha :(
I'll get it in a month or so when my money picks back up, can't wait to play it because I haven't seen much of this game at all so I can sit down and really just play the sh*t out of it haha, I really like the resistance world too so can't wait to see how it turns out lol.
I still havent even bought Infamous 2 yet!! :(

pixelsword4620d ago

Don't despair, today isn't tomorrow: and who knows what tomorrow will bring?

Minimox164620d ago

@WhittO
same here, i still havent pick infamous 2 and LBP2 :( and also I want WKC2 that came out next month :/

@pixelsword
yeah that the attitude :D

KendrickGLS4620d ago

Now that's the right idea! I sure wish Resistance wasn't a exclusive because I'm stuck with Gears eventhough it's awsome, but just not as good as Resistance. And tomorrow will bring something good or maybe something bad but who cares right now so don't be as paranoid as pixelsword. Righteous!

Tired4620d ago

Got it on order, counting the days. Hope the 3D is implemented well...some games are great but some look naff...I'm praying this wont be one of the naff ones.

zeddy4620d ago

i hope the single player is 10 hours +, im not getting it for multiplayer.

ChronoJoe4620d ago

Then your missing out.

Both SP and MP look like they've had equal attention, and both look pretty great :)

4620d ago
Ju4620d ago

Not getting it for the MP either - but will play the crap out of it ASAP I'll get it ;) Start liking the Beta.

damnyouretall4620d ago

time to dust off the sharpshooter. hope it works great with this game. couldnt use it in the beta. by the way, where the hell is the demo? it was on psn a few months ago then removed. some people are serious assholes for removing it.

50Terabytespersec4620d ago

The first had this feeling and this stable tone, this atmosphere the second was a mess of a game ...
If they were to ever get the graphics up like say , RAGE or to the level of Killzone this would qualify as AAA but for now it has always been a game that ran on a Half life type of midranged tech..I'll buy it and if it runs below HD I'll sell it after i beat it.

Ju4620d ago (Edited 4620d ago )

R2 had awesome visuals at times. Come on, tell me that opening scene isn't top notch, or that San Francisco/Golden Gate level. So, from a technical standpoint, it was up there with the greatest. But it just wasn't consistently implemented through out the whole games. Some levels looked bland, I give you that.

This game has the best particle effects of all games I ever played. In the scope of the maps it is just phenomenal (map size and number of players).

subtenko4620d ago

Resistance 1 and 2 were cool. Remember that Resistance 2 made everyone spaz out "omg 60 players online and no lag!! Awesome!!"

well...at least till mag came out,lol. Just a sony dev challenging a sony dev.

I wonder if Insomniac was challenging anyone with Resistance 3? We know that sucker punch challenge a few devs (in good fun, they mentioned it in an article or two)

Agree or Disagree if you Agree

DoomeDx4620d ago

"Agree or Disagree if you Agree"

this alone, deserves a disagree + a bubble down

subtenko4620d ago (Edited 4620d ago )

@DoomeDX, marked as a personal attack. that alone deserves a disagree and a - bubble down

Anyone whos been on n4g long enough can respect my comment...

plus, you've followed me and said the same thing before...you offer nothing to the discussion of the article but attack my comments.

Agree or Disagree if you Agree

consolez_FTW4620d ago (Edited 4620d ago )

@ Subtenko

Yeah man, If you've been on N4G long enough you'll see you always do that "agree or disagree if you agree" thing. It's like your trademark...
On TOPIC: I cant' wait for this. I must finish the Resistance story by buying R3! I don't know if Ill stay for multiplayer though.

Masta_fro4620d ago (Edited 4620d ago )

@subtenko

Dude, it says you joined 2011?

And I've never seen you before.

btw, "agree or disagree if you agree" is just pretentious, makes you sound like an 8 yr old who can't be argued with.

FaulkinPunch4620d ago (Edited 4620d ago )

@ Masta_fro well stalking someones profile makes you a stalker in that case...Its really obvious to get subtenkos comment.

He's talking about the "Disagree fairies" as many people like to put them... If you couldn't understand what he was saying then I guess you seem like an 8 year old going by your logic.

Just sayin....no offense, but its not that hard to understand.

Anyway, about Resistance 3, I'm really eager to see how well it stacks up against Resistance 1. I personally favored Resistance 1 over 2.

i think insomniac taking 3 years instead of 2 and doing things right and doing what fans wanted i am super excited about this

insomniac have said there will be a day one patch to fix many issues that were in beta so really can't wait

am i the only one who wish the 8 player online co-op that was in resistance 2 was in resistance 3?(i loved it)

InactiveUser4620d ago

You don't know what you're talking about. The extra year didn't do a damn thing to help the game or give fans want they wanted.

Last time I checked, RFoM fans didn't want all the restrictions of R2 and then some. R2 fans didn't want co-op removed. Resistance fans didn't want CoD-like Killstreak rewards, etc.

You're talking out of your @ and your 1st and 3rd paragraph contradicting each other proves it.

OllieBoy4622d ago

No doubt it'll be the best in the series.

3 years of development instead of 2 will do that.

SilentNegotiator4621d ago (Edited 4621d ago )

*will help

100 years would be nothing if they didn't make important changes and listen to the fans. Which is what they're doing, though.

SoapShoes4620d ago

They listened to the fans with FOM which is why R2 lost the weapon wheel, had tons of color, and regenerating health. I think they should listen to fans but not as much as they did with R2.

pixelsword4620d ago

Listening to fans is what made the Star Wars series suck.

FunAndGun4620d ago

@ Estranged

I think it was the critics that ruined R2. What FOM fan didn't like the weapon wheel?

The critics complained about the grays and browns, that is why R2 was saturated with color.

Bebedora4620d ago (Edited 4620d ago )

^I am so with you on that. They listend and got mixed up. They should, as all developers would, follow their own path. They cannot do things the way others want. Passion is lost and mediocricy kicks in. (My opinion o/c)

[edit] Wrong reply button. Meant for Estranged...

andibandit4620d ago (Edited 4620d ago )

@ Ollieboy

you mean like Duke Nukem Forever?

farhsa20084621d ago

I have every faith in Insomniac, ever since RFOM they have a special place in my heart!

beavis4play4620d ago (Edited 4620d ago )

ever since spyro for me!

Acezakj4620d ago

Ratchet & Clank for me!

beavis4play4620d ago

i loved disruptor!! i didn't say that because i liked spyro and his world too much to say otherwise.

Darth_Bane794620d ago

RFOM was the game that got me into online multiplayer shooters :)

SpinalRemains1384621d ago (Edited 4621d ago )

I find the multiplayer Beta quite boring. It's not bad, it's just a cookie cutter remake of all FPS. I for sure will be enjoying the single player story though. Looks great.

Emilio_Estevez4621d ago

Couldn't agree more. I can't believe they dropped the 60player mp. The crazyness that was 30vs30 can't be matched, it was(and still is)awesome.

BulletToothtony4621d ago

imo not trying to say that you personally didn't enjoy it.. but that very chaos is only appealing to a minority..

It gets frustrating sometimes when you can't do anything without getting shot from all directions..

the game becomes mostly about luck and not skills.. unless you camp..

I personally like the beta a lot thou.

ZombieNinjaPanda4621d ago

Resistance The First had the best multiplayer imo.

andibandit4620d ago

@ DrStabwounds

havent played Resistance, but yeah, lots of players is crazyness, it's just a whole diffrent game.

from my time in Battlefield(PC)

nycredude4621d ago

How many different variations of mp can there possibly be? Come on be real. Mp in all games are the same thing but with different skins. Sure they all have something unique to that game but bottom line is. You are shooting each other.

I don't think it's fair to label R3 beta as a cookie cutter remake when EVERY mp is pretty much that and can be boring. Now Starhawk we will see.

ZombieNinjaPanda4621d ago

As my comment above, did you not play The first game's multiplayer? It was refreshing, it was different, the two factions actually had different abilities and weapons (though you could take them from dead bodies too).

SpinalRemains1384620d ago

Are you suggesting that the FPS genre is maxed out or has hit its creative ceiling? I strongly disagree. There's always room for improvement or innovation. R3 does none of this. Its spawn, shoot, die repeat.

How about some different elements in a FPS? How about new hand to hand techniques? How about noticeable body damage? How about larger capacity for 60 players? Jesuss man, think about what you're saying. You're advocating to keep it static. I say make changes. Make it better. Make it stand alone as what the genre should be. What it shouldn't be is COD with an alien skin and laser gun.

Szarky4621d ago

Same feelings I had. Was very bored and dissappointed with the MP.

Will be buying sharpshooter bundle for SP though!!!

Wizziokid4621d ago

can't wait to get this, was going to get dead island but i'll have to wait a while since this will be taking most of my play time

IWentBrokeForGaming4621d ago

Im personally getting Dead Island over this because R2 left a bad taste in my mouth and I wasn't impressed as it took steps back compared to R1. Not saying R3 is going to be bad, it just has a lot to prove to me before I'll buy it right off the bat. It don't help that I don't hear much good of the mulitplayer beta too, as online is what keeps me going back to most games!

Old McGroin4621d ago

Prebooked my copy of Dead Island earlier today to get the extra DLC for free, can't frickin' wait, looks excellent!

knowledge4lfe4621d ago

i was gonna pick up dead island but i havent seen any ps3 footage and its gonna be on xbox live but not on psn.so that really worries me. ill just rent it at REDBOX when im done with R3. right now im playing deus ex and some R3 beta.

Resistance 3 is such a great game. One of my all time bests.

cooperdnizzle660d ago

Couldn’t agree more. Still love It as a shooter to this day.

Just something about that game. I really wish they would just do a remaster, don’t even need a remake just bring it up to todays out put, touch up a few things if any, and I am there to buy it day one.

Of course I would love a remake built from the ground up. As long as they treated it like Shadow of the Colossus, or close to those type of remake. Wouldn’t want it to get the RE treatment…. Just because the game is already paced so perfect and hits all the right beats that I wouldn’t touch that aspect.

Ranking the Resistance Games From Worst To Best

While it's been on ice for as long as it was around, the Resistance franchise has no shortage of quality.

My take:

Single player
3, 2, 1

Multiplayer
3, 1, 2

Overall
3, 2, 1

I beat the lengthy single player in 1 multiple times and spent hours in the online too. Plus 1 featured my home town! Special mention to the audio design in 1: playing that with surround headphones blew me away.

Note: I have the platinum for Resistance 2.

Eidolon717d ago

Resistance 1 MP will always be my favorite. Call it nostalgia or whatever, but that was my jam, felt more balance, natural.

Miraak82 717d ago

i have the platinium too , 10k kills in online ranked matches was no joke . Took me 3-4 months straight grinding but it was fun . To put it in perspective you only got like 25 kills per match if you were 1st place every match that's at Least 400 matches in 1st

Sciurus_vulgaris718d ago

I only played the 3 main Resistance titles. My ranking would be;
1. Resistance 3
2. Resistance: Fall of Man
3. Resistance 2

GoodGuy09718d ago

Man I loved 3's campaign. Another gem stuck on the ps3 and who knows if insomniac will go back to the franchise.

fr0sty717d ago

Resistance, Warhawk, MAG, Motorstorm, there's so many first party gems on PS3 that Sony has just left to die...

P_Bomb718d ago

Never played Burning Skies but I still have Retribution.

monkey602717d ago

Burning Skies was about 3 hours long and rather inconsequential. You haven't missed anything

porkChop717d ago

Honestly, Burning Skies was shit. There's no two ways about it. At first I thought it looked terrible, then I second guessed myself. Big mistake.

darthv72716d ago

Retribution has this really cool feature where you could use a PS3 to link a controller to it and play. So if you had a 2000 or 3000 hooked to a tv, you can use a real controller. All of this predates the PSP Go's ability to sync a sixaxis to it via bluetooth.

Yui_Suzumiya717d ago

Resistance 3 was shocking and brilliant. Loved it.

Why Resistance Was So Incredible

While the studio is best known for Spyro the Dragon, Ratchet, and Clank, and Spider-Man back on the PS3 the studio broke from creating platformers and made one of the highest regarded science-fiction first-person shooters of all time. This was Resistance and it remains one of Sony's most acclaimed and dormant franchises.

Jin_Sakai1074d ago

Really wish Insomniac would bring back Resistance!

darthv721073d ago

Agreed. Until they do a new entry, I'd love to get the two portable games remade into console versions. Maybe in a nice compilation with the mainline titles.

monkey6021073d ago

Burning Skies wasn't a great game.
It was only a couple of hours long and there was nothing memorable about it.

I'd love a new entry

darthv721072d ago

^monkey, hence why it should be remade into a better version.

SullysCigar1074d ago

Resistance 3's campaign was gorgeous for the time - and an awesome game to boot.

monkey6021073d ago

I remember being put off by it because McHale wasn't the MC but it turned out to be my favourite campaign

CBaoth1073d ago

by and large though the Resistance IP featured many protagonists (4 altogether I think if you include the portables). One of the reasons I enjoyed it was not being shackled to individual story arcs. Very rare for a major franchise.

Army_of_Darkness1072d ago

My favorite resistance game as well! It seriously had creepy, scary a$$ moments bro! It made me want an action horror game from insomniac!

Mr_cheese1073d ago

Remember playing this through online co op with the move controller and gun attachment! What a game!

BlackIceJoe1073d ago

I've said in the past I'd like to see this series return and have it take place years later, like in the present.

I'll give you an example if I'm not mistaken the last game ended in the 50s, so if it was to take place some time in the 2020s you'd have an opportunity to see how the world changed after the fall of Chimera and all the new technology that came out of that war.

Just like in our universe we all know WW2 happened, but we never experienced it, so if the next Resistance game takes place years later so too would people in that universe know a war look place against the Chimera, they just wouldn't know what it really was like.

So getting to see how that universe would respond to the Chimera reemerging would be interesting.

Imagine a little kid talking with his grandfather about the war and the kid just thinks it was just a made up bed time horror story and what was said was worse than what really took place, but now that the Chimera come back the kid will find out why years later the old timer adults were still waiting for the Chimera to return.

I think there is great potential for this series still and I really believe the best way forward for Resistance is make it have a time jump too.

So hopefully this series will return.

Dragonopolis1073d ago

Great Idea. I'd play that version.

Resistance was a great game and of all the remasters.... I would play a great remastered version of resistance series as well

waverider1073d ago

I was blown away when i played for the first time Resistance on the PS3. Great Game. Also liked very much an played for hundred of hours the Co-op of R2. The SP campaign of R3 is also excelent. I really hope that Sony and Insomniac annouced the Remaster of the Series and a new chapter. They got story to do that.

Jambola121073d ago

Resistance 2 was one of the first few games i played on ps3 and I loved it, would definitely finish that again :D

Chevalier1073d ago

I loved all the Resistance games. But part 2 online was amazing. The Marksmen for the Spec Ops type class when it was fully upgraded was such an amazing weapon. Oh man I wish they release all the games again and let us play part 2 online again.
