Thirteen1 - The Resistance has ended; not with a bang, but with a whimper.
It seems the rather inglorious final chapter has been written for Insomniac’s FPS series following a double whammy of announcements; Insomniac giving up the reins back in January, and Sony announcing that there are “No definitive plans” to continue the legacy a few days ago. So why did this series get born, live and die so quickly? Thirteen1 believes the answers lie not just within the contents of the discs, but in the state of the industry as a whole.
Sea of Thieves is the first Rare-developed game to launch for a PlayStation console, and Sony was heavily involved in helping the studio bring the swashbuckling pirate romp to its flagship console.
Out of curiosity could any of these ms games going to ps5 have been leaked by Sony themselves? Not Sony but someone at Sony
sony isn't about to let some console wars get in the way of trying to make microsoft become a third party dev by showing them that they make more money with them than without them. of course with that in mind they'd help them. it's also doubly so because microsoft are bringing what is considered a popular game over that can also make sony money
Nice.
Still don't want it though.
Tell me Killer Instinct is coming to PS5 and then we'll talk.
The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.
Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱
"All signs point to the hardware becoming less and less important to Microsoft."
Less innovation and competition. People act like if MS went away life would be better but it would just mean you have one less choice as to where to spend your money. If Sony became the defacto home console provider and Nintendo the handheld, then these companies could limit what you get and you would ultimately have very little choice but to support them if you want to play games.
I was a video that suggested that Steam could potentially get into the console market if Xbox ceases to exist. They already had the Steam Machine(?), and they have the Steam Deck for the portable market. I’m not in the pc space at all so I wouldn’t know if that would be a realistic statement.
No Xbox future I am going to guess Microsoft will go down the path Sega choose and be a publisher/game developer with their in house studios. Or sell off their in house studios and just go back to making os for PC's. I highly doubt the second part. Microsoft like any company wants to make money. So if Microsoft did say pull the plug on Xbox I see them going down the path Sega went. And utilize Xbox as a brand and not just as a console. I can see the name of XBox being mainly a brand after that. And maybe with the game you see published by or developed by Xbox studios.
If it has died out and doesn't return it's a crying shame because tbh resistance 1,2 (yes 2) and 3 are brilliant games, granted 2 went of the track and changed the style abit too much; if all 3 had been more like 1 story and gameplay wise it would've been a bigger success I think but still it deserved better than this and I'm still pissed off at insomniac for just giving up especially when there were still several plot points they left unanswered :@
I wouldn't say the Resistance franchise is dead or anything.
I think Sony is saving up Resistance 4 for the PS4 and I also believe Sony would convince Insomniac to develop the game since they've established a great relation since the early Playstation days.
Resistance is dead? this first I hear of it.
What's wrong with FPS genre? It's over saturated, really isn't that complicated
