For those of you wondering about some update information about Resistance: Fall of Man. He gives an update and answers some questions.
Sony is in the middle of an FPS crisis, but bringing back two much-loved PlayStation shooters could easily be the solution.
We have alot of rpg's but only cod for a AAA first person shooter unless you toss in xdefient but that is still fixing 2yr old beta issues.
We need more AAA fps games then rpg's
Yes we need some new FPS experiences.. COD is just not engaging enough. We want a Killzone back to the roots, not a Shadow Fall again..
Agree on preferring RPGs though at this exact moment, it would be great to see more horror games. Another reason why Japan Studio closing is just tragic. Loved Siren.
Fuck jim ryan japan studio did so much and helped alot with ports/localization
If they were around bloodborn would be possible like how they helped with demon souls ps4 finial fantasy port.
Horror games would be nice but the jim ryan axe job helped alot in killing playstation dev numbers/freedom and increased regulation with the new censorship crap.
No thanks. Resistance and killzone were my all time favorite fps games. I completely dominated those games. I met good people, had a ton of fun and have a lot of fond memories. I don't want them to bring back these games, unless they tackle the cheating epidemic. I know I will absolutely hate these games, if I was to play them now, with all the effing cheating going on in fps games.
Bro the market is oversaturated with quality RPGs AND bloated shitty RPGs already.
I honestly don't think we'll be seeing these anytime soon, if ever. Insomniac is officially on Marvel duty since it seems that all they're working on based off the leaks, and Horizon is more of what the casuals want these days. And I now I'll get a bunch of disagrees, but keep in mind that Resistance last got a game on the PS3 (2011) and Killzone was a launch title for the PS4 (2013). 10 years is a long time to make a game, if had any interest they would've done it by now, add InFamous to that list.
Your right except the dates killzone mercenary was on ps vita 2013 same with resistance burning skies back in 2012
Both of those games are either made by smaller B team or completely different developer.
Killzone Mercenary developed by Guerilla Cambridge which is now defunct.
Resistamce Burning Skies wasn't made by Insomniac but by Nihilistic Software also defunct after the failure of CoD Black Ops Declassified.
@good i know i never said they were
I mentioned them as they were the last games under that ip well killzone was last on ps4 but still even though they are different devs they led to the lose of the ip.
I highly doubt they made up for there budget cost even killzone on ps4 had low sales for such a large ip at the time.
Resistance 3 turned me off to the series but I’d love a reboot. KillZone I think can stay dead. Give me a new Resistance like 1or 2 and I’ll be happy.
Except Resistance 1 and 3 were far more similar, 2 was the outlier. 3 was a great return to form after 2 changed so many things from the first game.
I'll keep saying it, have Bungie make a new resistance game, a match made in heaven. Although I imagine Bungie would be too proud to take over an existing IP.
I honestly never cared or liked killzone. Huge resistance fan though. I remember so many nights playing melee only on USS Lexington, and I like the alt history vibe.
Can't they at least make their first party stuff from the ps3 era available on modern hardware ? So many good games left to rot
Like a Remaster with increased framerate and resolution. Sure why not. They could even charge $30 and I think people would still be fine. Do like a PS3 Remaster series.
I want this so bad. Id just be happy to be able to play the old ones on PS5. (PS Now not available in my country)
I’d settle for a new AAA campaign driven FPS with some sci fi elements in a new IP. Sonys first party stuff is good, but too many 3rd person open world adventure games with upgrading equipment and skill trees (Tsushima, Horizon, Spider-Man). Sadly hardly anyone is making AAA single player FPS anymore, even Doom and Wolfenstein seem to be dormant
I would love Resistance and Killzone but I also want them to bring back Wild Arms another good franchise under their belt. Even a new Sly Cooper game Jak and Daxter
Tell me a franchise Sony has brought back that did better than previous iterations? and no God of War wasn't gone for a significant amount of time before it was rebooted. The fact is both those franchises didn't have the IT factor and they tried everything. Another Killzone or Resistance isn't what Sony needs right now unless your goal is to try and get Sony to make more mistakes. Which knowing IGN is probably their angle. Sony need brand new fresh IP's
I don't get ms and Sony with so much dormant franchises, Nintendo on the other hand always makes new games for their best franchises, how many Mario's, Zelda's, Pokemon's are there? And they never get old imo. Sony and Ms should really revitalize their old but good franchises.
I mean it took forever to get a new metroid/pikmin and they probably have more dormant franchises than ms and sony combined.
Agree, but they can somewhat afford to keep them dormant, Sony and Ms has nothing interesting to release for next months maybe a year so, imo sony and ms are more in need to "rescue" their older franchises than Nintendo.
And yet Mario is shelved Zelda had 2 games this entire gen both very similar to eachother in the same open world with some new areas tacked on... I'm old enough to remember everyone clowing on Marvel's Spider-man 2 for having new boroughs added to the same old open world... but Tears of the Kingdom got a pass there. So many of Nintendo's past IP are also dormant. One new and only ok Metroid game in Dread and a remix of F-Zero with online in F-Zero 99... somehow that's good enough for Nintendo fans, though?
Mário isn't shelved, it had Wonder and Paper Mario recently, Zelda had to great games, agree very alike, but Sony could bring Killzone, there isn't a Killzone title in ten years, could bring Sly cooper this is dormant for god knows how long, as well as jak and daxter. Look I'm not a Nintendo fan not have any Nintendo system I'm just pointing that Nintendo does more with their franchises than Sony and Ms, Nintendo outsells both of them so they mus be doing something right, right?
If they don't copy call of duty or force some online fortnite type bullshhi I'm down for either of the 2 or both
Here here. I love Horizon but I’d be down to see Gurrola go back to their roots. Feel like Resistance is less likely, but god that would be awesome as well, lots of room for creativity there on the newer console.
It's time for devs to create new IPs instead of regurgitating the same sh*t we've played before
i wouldnt mind another hoard mode for resistance again. those were fun with friends.
Resistance would be awesome! A reboot with a full single player experience and then a robust online
Ah the golden years of PlayStation, when they weren’t scared of new fresh experimental experiences.
I would love killzone and Resistance I would love Sony to purchase a couple of newly formed fps studios I've seen a quite a few that's similar to battlefield and cod and they would do well for gass
Killzone: Mercenary 2 would be awesome and a reboot of Resistance: Fall of Man could be good too.
Soft reboots of both with an overarching story across more than one game would be great.
They would probably bring both (or at least Killzone) back as live service games
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!!
I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.
Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.
resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword
Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2
Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.
There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.
Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence
The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.
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 😱
I’m beating a dead horse here… but Resisitance FOM gun lay out was so fun, multiplayer was one of my top favorite experiences. Insomniac nailed it and I would love a remaster and maybe a redo with Reisistance 2. They listens to players who were wanting a Halo killer and it kind of lost its character from the first.
Warhawk, if they had just remade the first one not Starhawk which offered nice things like the build and battle.. but Warhawk was the best arcade shooter I ever played. Back when you didn’t have battle passes and you actually had to get certain amount of kills or ribbons to unlock different paint skins on the Warhawks and armor for your player.. Look at the success of Helldivers 2, it’s a fun game and it reminds me of Warhawk in a way. I’ve been wanting a remake or sequel since the beginning of the ps4 gen.. it’s hurts to have hope nowadays. Even with the demise of the studios Sony has a steady fan base.
Killzone game after Killzone 2 play style would be nice
Motorstorm would be epic with the visual upgrade, maybe this game would be a harder sell with the genre being not as popular nowadays..
Resistance franchise, Motorstorm and Dirt 2 which was fun as heck. Add Dead Space 2 as well.
I quickly looked and only saw the words PS5 Remaster and a picture of Fall of Mans logo
Ahhhh shit, well maybe one day
Resistance 1-3 remastered with online
Kill zone 1-3 remastered with online
God of war PS3 games and PSP games collection
Infamous 1-2 with all dlc please we need this. It’s such an underrated franchise and so much potential. In this age of super hero media craze Sony should utilize infamous
White knight chronicles 1-2
Warhawk and starhawk
Motorstorm series
MGS4
Easy money would be to remake Resistance and Killzone series, rather than just a remaster. And PS5 desperately needs some couch co-op shooters so this would scratch that itch.
Yeah definitely iam playing on xbox now hasn't aged well but I'd loved syphon filter I can't remember if was om ps3 but I'd love a remake on my ps5
PS3 ended up been a beast of a console, slow out of the gate, picked up steam, smashed through the finish line. The 1st PS3 slim is still one of my favourite consoles. So solid, great games, by the time GTA5 and the last of us had come out it was a clear winner for me
"PS3 may not have been the strongest generation"
Meanwhile...just looking at exclusives alone and not even third party titles
Uncharted was born
Demon's Souls was born
Metal Gear Solid 4
God of War 3
The Last of Us was born
Little Big Planet was born
Warhawk
Killzone 2 and 3
Infamous was born
Resistance was born
Motorstorm was born
Gran Turismo
Heavy Rain
Journey
Shadow of the Colossus returned paving the way for the remake in the PS4 generation
PS Plus was born
Sorry bud, but the PS3 generation was amazing and featured the greatest console comeback in history.
That said, I'd love it if Warhawk returned or Metal Gear Solid 4. It needs to not be shackled to the PS3 generation anymore. A Killzone 2 remake would be insane with modern graphics and that art direction.
I really miss this gen of gaming. It felt like the last truly "great" era for videogames before the modern approach really took hold.
The PS3 was such a glorious console. The UI, the games, the free online...just incredible.
I would pay good money for a Warhawk remake. Socom too. The last Socom game just didn’t do it justice. Folklore could use a remaster or remake as well.
Several other titles I would like to remade with the amount of visual fidelity the current gen has over the past consoles it could help articulate the games that we’ve loved growing up. I would love even some ps2 titles to remade.. Dark Cloud from ps2, Legacy of Kain series but don’t know what will come of it sense it was bought by Embracer group and all there layoffs.
This strategy is exactly what helped ruin Xbox. Sony more than Microsoft know when to let a franchise go and that is important to keep things fresh. The old games are there if you want to play them.
Resistance series and Killzone 2 & 3 remasters/remakes. Make it happen. They will print money.
FF13 is top of this list for me. No matter your opinion on it, it being the only numbered offline FF out of all 16 not to be on new consoles is odd. GTA IV would be great too
The only reason my PS3 is still connected is because of the Resistance, Heavenly Sword, Motorstorm games that I still love to play. I am for remaking or remastering them.
I had motorstorm 1&2 and apocalypse, which was also in 3d if you had a 3d telly, which were just kicking off, at the time my auntie gave me a Sony 40”3d, not top of the range or anything, but stilll, I felt like da’ total shizz playing that with the world falling apart around me
Good times
Resistance 1-3 and Killzone 1-3 too. Folklore and 3 Dot Heroes are underrated gems.
Why remaster games that ps5 players can't access when you can remaster a 4 year old game like tlou2 that was already patched with ps5 improvements
Infamous 1&2 will sadly always be ignored by Sony, not even a ps4 remaster the whole gen, smh but uncharted, horizon, even days gone had next gen upgrades sheesh 🤦🏽 mane even tho Sony is still doing pretty good in the console business they are a lil big headed lol, I never played the resistance series but it would of been dope to see those games updated as well, we fans get lil surprises here n there but things we really are into having and being vocal about gets passed over like a mf 🤣😩
Im a fan of PS3 but the downside of cell is getting games programmed for it off the PS3 onto future PS consoles.
God I would live a Killzone or Resistance collection. Really hoping for a new one in either franchise down the line, loved both series.
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.
Resistance 1 MP will always be my favorite. Call it nostalgia or whatever, but that was my jam, felt more balance, natural.
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
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.
Resistance, Warhawk, MAG, Motorstorm, there's so many first party gems on PS3 that Sony has just left to die...
Burning Skies was about 3 hours long and rather inconsequential. You haven't missed anything
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.
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.
Resistance 3 was such a FREAKING good game. It was a shame that the market was flooded with quality stuff at that time, because I'm pretty sure it was overlooked by MANY (plus, I was in gaming retail at the time, so I KNOW it was overlooked by many).
Yeah when it came out I remember people actually downing it constantly. Nowadays fortunately the reception is the opposite and people seem to appreciate it.
I only played 1 and 2. I preferred 2. I thought the campaign was great, although it did have too much influence from COD. The online was a lot of fun, especially the 8-player coop campaign.
That series deserves a remaster collection, as does Warhawk.
Tough choice here. I only played the 3 main titles but I loved them all very much and for different reason. I definitely played 1 more than the other ones, but that was because early PS3 life cycle there wasn't much else I was interested in besides MotorStorm.
2 had the really interesting, ahead of its time co-op (if it had been on 360 it would be constantly talked about still, but games journalists really didn't acknowledge multiplayer games on PS3 and really only acknowledged single player games from Naughty Dog). But the campaign in 2 was just bad. It clearly suffered from trying to be more like the games coming out around it (mostly COD) rather than embracing the spirit of more classic FPS games like 1 and 3 did so well.
bad media only acknowledge uncharted, how sad :( So when Heavy Rain released, no1 appreciated it? When heavenly sword released, ppl only talked about uncharted? THis is just nonsense, sony did get praise for its multiplayer in lets say UC 2 or last of us etc. Fact is, they just didnt have as much titles dedicated to mp/coop at that time.
Always like it when you add in that xbox spicy flavor, really adds to the topic of resistance.
Heavenly sword released before uncharted, and actually the OP has a point. There was a lack of journalism on the PS3 multiplayer games back then and the console was $600. I mention UC 2 but that game came out a month before 2010, and that was really the only time multiplayer PS3 games became more of a topic in journalism. 2006-2009 was very baron for n multiplayer discussion
because they didnt have much with considerable effort put into mp. Were they supposed to praise Haze? Motorstorm, Resistance, Warhawk. fat princess all got reviewed and got praise, just not the praise that other more commited MP games were to their multiplayer. Sony has always been lacking when it comes to MP, not to say that they never released a game with good MP.
1. Resistance 3
2. Resistance: Fall of Man
3. Resistance 2
4. Resistance: Burning Skies (good Vita shooter actually)
All good games but Resistance 3 has the best weapons, the most polish, 3D TV support, and a great ending to the series.
The 3D is kinda shitty though in R3. It looked so bad I had to turn it off.
On the other hand, KZ3 and Motorstorm Apocalypse had the best 3D implementations on the PS3
There was a glitch with the center reticle in R3 not looking quite right in 3D. KZ3 is one of the best and Super Stardust HD is my favorite.
Fall of Man still holds a special place in my heart, but 2 and 3 were still very good. I miss those games.
Great trilogy. Loved the second game the most with its colorful graphics and the setting. Wish Insomniac would either make a trilogy remaster for PS5 or a new game in the series.
For me, 3, 1, 2. Never played the portable one, but I always used to hear about how good it was.
Due to this article, I am playing Retribution again on my Vita. I tried many times to play it on PC with PPSSPP but have never feel quite right for me. Feels OK on the Vita though.
R:Fom, R2, then the its not even a sequel so I don't know why its called R3...
Are people saying R3 CoD fans? Cuz mp completely abandoned its roots, it was a terrible CoD wannabe.. Story was an abomination as well, stupid ending too....
R2 story was great, loved the live action stuff pre release. gameplay for it was a complete step back, the first one I felt like I was a part of the war, R2 you may as well have not had allies cuz every enemy was only focused on you. AMAZING ahead of its time Coop saved this game. MP was kinda meh, also a step backwards, gameplay changes for it were handled poorly.
R:FOM had some unpolished unfinished rough edges. You could definitely tell it was rushed. But story premise was freaking amazing, and playing with a buddy and stuff going on all over the place, I really felt a part of a war. Best MP in the series hands down, really inventive and different from everything else out there at that time and really to this day honestly.
The campaign for R3 was amazing. It was the MP which was dumbed down significantly from R2 and felt like CoD. R2 campaign on the other hand was inferior to both RFoM and R3 but the MP was amazing. 60 player MP in 2008! The 8-player coop was ahead of its time and still no other game does it better.
This is how you update your fans of your doin's. The makers of Socom should take note. Great blog this should get a 10.
Does Sony have a financial stake in Insomniac?
Ted: "Nope. Sony has no ownership or financial stake in us."
Why are you guys called "first party" when you're not owned by Sony?
Ted: "We work directly with the first party divisions at SCEA, SCEE and SCEI. These divisions are responsible for Sony-published titles whether or not the developer is a part of Sony. Therefore even though I guess we're technically "second party" (or perhaps even "third party" since agreed-upon definitions don't seem to exist) we've always used the term "first party." I realize that it gets pretty confusing. Also, if we had to, we could always move to another platform or another publisher. That's one of the benefits of being independent. But it doesn't make a whole lot of business sense for us to do that."
Even this guy ducked the rsx specs question. Well there is certainly something going on!!!! but time will tell i guess.
"...The folks playing multiplayer were participating in 40 player Breach matches against Sony’s testers in Foster City, California. It was a great demonstration of the PS3’s online capabilities and Resistance’s muscle since we were running true international games that didn’t drop frame or experience lag. Kudos to Sony’s testers for playing through the wee hours of the morning for three days straight since Japan is 16 hours ahead of the US West Coast..."
Anyone else think that looks great for Sony?
