Insomniac Gives Middle Finger to Resistance 3 Beta Players... In a Nice Way

If you've put hours into the Resistance 3 beta, you might feel like you should get something in return - other than the satisfaction of knowing that you've helped make a game bug free. Luckily, Insomniac Games concurs, and will be giving beta players something special as a thank you.

Kudos to Insomniac for supporting its fans.

malol4615d ago

i was in the beta but i got nothing yet
the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu*K ?? :\

SilentNegotiator4615d ago

Yo dawg, I herd u leik freebies. So we put a freebie in yo freebie so you can get a freebie in a freebie.

A present for playing the beta? You shouldn't have!

"We are announcing a new playlist called *Classic Hardcore*. It’s got all the exciting R3 action minus Berserks and abilities. This is for those players who want to go toe-to-toe without the extras. Classic Hardcore will be available Day 1!"

SWeeeeeeeeeT! I freaking hate the COD-ized MP in the beta, so this will be great.

stormeagle64615d ago

People are still doing the Xzibit thing?

plumber154615d ago

To SilentNegotiator COD-ized is exactly what killed socom 4 I hate how every developer is following each other .

LOOK_AT_THIS_I4615d ago

@plumber15
Seth Luisi is responsible for the slaughter of Socom.

I cant wait to get the EMP grenades, the damn turrets/health pods are a pain in the neck. Hopefully they will let us use filters to make rooms and get rid of some of the cheap ass weapons too. 9/6/2011 :)

Only the coooool people.

It warranted it. They gave us a freebie, the skin/taunt, for use in the beta - which is essentially a freebie in itself. Freebie within a freebie.

Should I have modernized it and done an inception joke?

Xalaris4615d ago

Wait... was I seriously the only one who first thought that this was a pathetic author bashing IG for hits?

I got the email but I wasn't in the beta. :(

I was out of the country during the download window for Sony's welcome back freebies, so I didn't get my free month of PS Plus. :,(

Oh well, guess I'll just look like any other non-beta player!

Dart894615d ago

Everyone can get on it today. It says on their twitter.

ATLRoAcH4615d ago

The beta will be available to everyone on the store later today. Just download and play and you'll get the freebies.

Blaine4615d ago

I just noticed--downloading now!

tiffac0084615d ago

LOL! Insomniac, now I feel bad I wasn't a beta tester. XD

pixelsword4615d ago

Trust me; it wasn't all candy canes and lollypops; there were some raging debates in the beta forums about how the weapons should be balanced, what should they add, people constantly not reading the FAQ before posting a page and a half or irrelevancy...

You're coming in on the best part.

HOSe4615d ago

updated it to 2.04, could never get into a game, hard freeze everytime....

Silly gameAr4615d ago

It's been pretty smooth for me after 2.04. Had a few freezes, but nothing like before the patch. I just hated that they had reset our stats. Lost my level 20 and all of my unlocks along with it. It's cool though, because now I'm up to 23 and going for the atomizer.

ftwrthtx4615d ago

I've been playing for a couple hours today without any issues. Connecting was quick and painless.

xtremegamerage4615d ago

Thanks Insomniac, got the e-mail today as well/

Looking forward to playing the full game:)

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.

Eidolon716d ago

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

Miraak82 716d 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_vulgaris717d ago

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

GoodGuy09717d ago

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

fr0sty716d ago

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

P_Bomb717d 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

porkChop716d 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_Suzumiya716d 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.

Really wish Insomniac would bring back Resistance!

darthv721072d 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.

monkey6021072d 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.

SullysCigar1073d ago

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

monkey6021072d ago

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

CBaoth1072d 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_cheese1072d 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.

Dragonopolis1072d 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

waverider1072d 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.

Jambola121072d ago

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

Chevalier1072d 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.
