Resistance 3: Insomniac Opens Beta Access For All & Issues Some Free DLC For Beta Players.

Most developers allow gamers to get an early look at their game through online betas only to end the beta with a simple -'thanks for playing'. Well, Insomniacs not your average developer, and today they reveal that the current online beta for Resistance 3 will be unlocked and made available to all, starting August 30th. For those who play the beta, you will receive some pretty taunting DLC.

I'm downloading this bad boy right now. I was calling some spots I know that usually break street date. Hopefully I can get mine this Friday!

EDIT: For those who don't see it on the store put a search on it and it should show up

vgcgames5053d ago

Secretly in love with Ted price, ok not really, but his games me me happy.

MGRogue20175053d ago (Edited 5053d ago )

The beta is still a PS+ exclusive on the UK/US PSN store as of right now.

I'll check again later or tommorow, I guess.

BobbyMcCOOL5053d ago

should take place after the psn update later today

MaxOpower5053d ago

Sure? I just downloaded it in the US store. (Though it was tricky to find)

Search for Resistance 3, and scroooooooooooll, sould pop up.

KonohagakureFC5053d ago

Does it have any huge patches to downlaod or could you play straight away?

MaxOpower5053d ago

The download, was about 1400mb, and there were like 4 patches , but I think they were only 22mb all together.

JTX5053d ago

Screw multiplayer, give us a single player demo already.

GTRrocker5053d ago

I know, right? I want to try out the portion of the game I am paying for. Multiplayer is just something I do when I am bored.

HeavenlySnipes5053d ago

Its up on US store like 10 minutes ago.

Resistance 3 is a Classic, 13 Years On

Insomniac Games' thunderous conclusion to its acclaimed first-person shooter series remains an under-appreciated work of art.

Sony needs to remake the trilogy on ps5

CrimsonWing69231d ago

I’d rather them do a new game in the world of Resistance.

Cacabunga231d ago (Edited 231d ago )

I honestly liked the first one most..
killzone 2 and 3 outshined Resistance 2 and 3 for me in every aspect.

Eonjay231d ago

I absolutely adored Resistance 3 but they do not NEED to remake this game. They should do something that they enjoy and if it is Resistance then so be it.

Mr_cheese231d ago

Loved resistance 3, played the whole thing on co op with the move controller and gun, was very different!

Resistance 2 online was the best

gamerz231d ago

Me too, but also on a 3D tv! R3 was one of the few games that got plastic rifle panning motion right.

isarai231d ago

Such a criminally underrated series, id love a remaster collection of the trilogy.

preciousdeath231d ago

Yes! ...and make them PSVR2 compatible.

Pedrof231d ago

Not a classic in my opinion ; a pretty mediocre PS3 shooter as far as I'm concerned, not bad, not the worst of the trilogy, but certainly not great. Killzone 2 was miles ahead of it (and of most FPSs even today as far as I'm concerned).

pwnmaster3000231d ago

Naw man.
Resistance 1 will always be GOATed for me.
I remember playing all night on multiplayer. Such a fun game.

P_Bomb231d ago

Ah yeah, R1! I cut my teeth on the one-shot Walmart map, lol! Miss that.

gamerz231d ago

Played that demo soooooo many damn times since it was the only thing to play for a while at launch. That and motorstorm.

refocusedman231d ago

killzone was amazing but resistance was great as well. althpugh theybwrre both fps, I think that served different purposes.

JEECE231d ago

Thanks for turning Insomniac into a Marvel studio.

ApocalypseShadow231d ago (Edited 231d ago )

Although I agree on original games and creativity over licensed IP, especially something like Ghost of Tsushima. But Sony's looking at that series selling less and less overall with the 3rd estimated to not even sell 2 million. Gamers who say they loved it didn't really buy it.

While Spiderman the series has sold over 50 million not counting PC. And Spider-Man 2 is over 11 million so far. If you had their business and had to make their decisions, what would you do in their shoes?

JEECE231d ago

@ApocalypseShadow

Umm, that's exactly my point lol. Insomniac made great, original IP games and people didn't buy them because they were too busy lapping up yearly CODs and Assassin's Creeds, so naturally Sony/Insomniac had to pivot to something else.

Knushwood Butt231d ago

So you are saying 1 was the worst?
I respect your opinion but strongly disagree.

I'll start with what I didn't like about 3:
- OK, Nathan Hale is gone but new player character totally forgettable. Can't even remember their name.
- Awful forced in 3D. Just look at KZ3 for 3D done well.
- Online multiplayer that paled in comparison to 1 and 2. Put hundreds of hours into the first two. Probably less than 10 hours into 3.
- Campaign was OK but I played the other two more, especially 1.

Pedrof231d ago

1 had my favorite gunplay of the trilogy (no need for COD iron sight) so I guess my worst would be 2. At least 3 wrapped up the storyline, supported the move controller and had prettier graphics. But in my book, none of the three really stood out. From that era, I prefered Singularity for example and obviously Killzone 2.

I wish they'd bring back the Resistance 2 multiplayer. God that co-op was so much fun.

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

cooperdnizzle1098d 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.

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.

Eidolon1154d ago

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

Miraak82 1154d 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_vulgaris1156d ago

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

GoodGuy091156d ago

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

fr0sty1155d ago

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

P_Bomb1155d ago

Never played Burning Skies but I still have Retribution.

monkey6021155d ago

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

porkChop1155d 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.

darthv721154d 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_Suzumiya1155d ago

Resistance 3 was shocking and brilliant. Loved it.
