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.
Insomniac Games' thunderous conclusion to its acclaimed first-person shooter series remains an under-appreciated work of art.
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).
I wish they'd bring back the Resistance 2 multiplayer. God that co-op was so much fun.
There are some epic PlayStation Plus Premium shooters, from Naughty Dog's Uncharted series to the high-stakes action of Doom published by Bethesda.
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.
I only played the 3 main Resistance titles. My ranking would be;
1. Resistance 3
2. Resistance: Fall of Man
3. Resistance 2
Man I loved 3's campaign. Another gem stuck on the ps3 and who knows if insomniac will go back to the franchise.
Watch out Noobs, that pain you feel is coming from my Marksman.
Secretly in love with Ted price, ok not really, but his games me me happy.
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.
Screw multiplayer, give us a single player demo already.
Its up on US store like 10 minutes ago.
