Hopefully I'm wrong, but this is very likely going to be half-assed as hell with no R:FoM trophies, not have all the DLC on the disks, and will very likely be the ugly yellow Platinum Hits versions.
This is what the Trilogy should be and deserves to be:
Resistance: Fall of Man - [Trophy support - All DLC (map packs, etc.) - All bonus content (Cloven skin, etc.)]
Resistance 2 - 'Reflection' box art (from Collector's and European editions) - All DLC and bonus content (map packs, skins, etc.)]
Resistance 3 - [New interior art that is consistent with the first two games - All DLC - All preorder and Global Resistance bonus content; skins, air-fuel grenades, etc.]
MSRP: $59.99 Release: TBA (Late 2012 - 2013)
Consistent spine art to look more like a trilogy and use of the new PS3 box art template instead R:FoM and R2's old red ones (on US versions, not sure about other regions).
I totally feel the same way, but they will probably have the ugly platinum versions of the regular games in that box, like they did with God of War, and unlike the US-greatest-Hits-Covers they are really atrocious. http://www.bu3games.de/imag...
I am, however, looking forward to Resistance Burning skies soon...
I have an excuse to repurchase the games. Someone broke into my house last year and made off with my original PS3 slim and Resistance 1 and 2. I hope SCEA releases this here in America too, and hopefully none of the greatest hits versions are included. If so, I'll have to hunt down the originals.
I wish they would but I doubt they ever will. Back when they released the dual pack of 1&2 they said it would be counter productive to go through old code to implement a trophy system.
I already beat all 3 Resistance games countless times. Maybe I'll just buy the box seperate since it looks cool. I'm that much of a Resistance fan lol
Such an underrated series. Its my favourite gaming series this generation. I highly recommend it if you're tired of the same old military FPS shooters these days. The Resistance series sets itself apart with its unique story, setting and best of all "gameplay."
That's a great looking box art. I loved the R3 one and this one might even be better. I mean, they even changed the color of the PS3 logo to match the box. 'Tis a shame that I don't want to buy it.
I played the first and second.
The first has indeed aged poorly. It feels like a PS2 game. Presentation is generic, controls are stiff and aim down sights is a toggle. The level design is very uneven, you have some decent open sections, and then some awfully mundane corridors.
Setpieces are not very impressive. Technically it's not that good, even for a launch title.
The second one was also not too original, but level design, while linear, was generally very well paced, except maybe for some spaceship sections. It however lacked the better setpieces of the first. But it had a very spectacular coop mode. The ending was also decent. All in all it was a nice little game.
I've not played the 3rd. Again, the characters and story looked generic. At least a few fights looked a bit open ended so that piqued my interest somewhat, but it still looked very corridor-like most of the time in the walkthrough I watched.
As for the comparison with Halo, Halo has its issues like copy paste level design, and obvious padding through backtracking. But the AI, the scope of the battles, freeform use of vehicles makes it far better than the 2 Resistances I played. The characters, heroes and villains alike (except maybe in Reach where the main ones aren't there), have way more personality than in Resistance.
Honnestly, the PS3 doesn't have truly top of the line exclusive shooters unless you count Uncharted as a shooter.
If you're looking for the best solo FPS you can get on the PS3, go with Crysis 2.
Story is not very good, but it has a few cool cinematic moments, lots of freedom of action, vehicles... That's the most complete package there is at this time.
Oddly, the third is the best. It reminds me more of Half-Life 2 than anything and, I maintain, if more FPS games were like Half-Life 2 the world would be a better place.
resistance 3 is the worst looking of all to me, horribly sub hd (it is actually 976x540p) covered in awful jaggies, the framerate sucks and the textures are muddy and terrible, i think part 2, looks and controls the best, but thats me
i think part 1 is the best game of the series by far and has the best story and multiplayer.
now thats a great looking box set, it'll be great for people like me who were a little skeptical on the franchise before to pick up the whole set at a great price before Resistance 4 comes out ;)
I've seen the similar Uncharted The Trilogy in store, and it's just a flimsy light cardboard box, like the one for cereal boxes, with standard Platinum editions of the first two games, and a normal copy of the third.
So I have good reason to believe this will be the same for this one.
So my advice, if you own the games, even if you're a fan, DO NOT buy them again in that format.
All you are getting is 10 cents worth of cardboard.
It does not even improve the presentation of the games in any meaningful way.
Played the first two games a ton, both online and off. Beat R3 on my own, then in co-op, then maybe on my own again. Played it online for about 30 minutes, then sold it.
I don't understand all the hate that R2 got. Sure, the graphic style was maybe a bit too cartoony (?), but the 1P had some great set pieces and atmosphere, and the online is still possibly the most ambitious out there, and I think they pulled it off too. Coop and competitive were both a blast. I platted the game so got the 10,000 kills trophy...
looks koo. i finally bought resistance 3 on amazon for 28bux yesterday its gonna arrive today so cant wait to join the resistance against the f*ckin chimera!

But the lack of trophies in Fall of Man mean no immediate replay. This will mostly be to make my game shelf look nicer.
For me:
R1 > R2 > R3.

I have all 3 games.
Why do people give a toss about boxes,lol.
