Game Informer's Review of Resistance: Fall of Man

From Game Informer: "There's a good reason why Master Chief has been looking pale these days. Sony just dropped a bomb down his pants. No matter how you cut it, Resistance is PlayStation's answer to Halo. It bombards you with relentless action, opens your mind to new gaming possibilities with its inventive selection of weapons, and offers a multiplayer experience so deep and dangerously addictive that your hands may permanently form to the contour of the controller. Insane 40-man online battles, weapons that can shoot through walls and around corners, having to violently shake the controller to free yourself from an alien that has latched onto your neck – there are few experiences in gaming that are this exciting, and thanks to the development muscle of Insomniac, this finely polished and balanced. The only blemish that this game has is the uneventful finale to the single-player campaign. Outside of this, Resistance pounds you into submission with its remarkable gameplay. Without question, it's worth getting a PS3 just for this game."

What ever you say bub. lol RFOM's is PS3's anwser to halo with weak AI and not as good vehicels. WTF?.

andy capps6778d ago

I just posted the article, if you don't like their review, contact Game Informer. It's worth noting that they gave Gears of War a 9.5 as well, so it's not like they hate MS or anything. I don't see why you're so mad that Insomniac has apparently made a great game.

power of Green 6778d ago

Never said Insomniac made a bad game "in this thread". RFOM has UnReal Tournament style chaos and wacky weapons poor AI with no AI's that fight with you and the vehicels are weak compared to the ones in Halo.

Donkey Slayer6778d ago (Edited 6778d ago )

I don't think 40 player gamers are going to have the same feel. I'm guessing more like battlefront. But I haven't played it yet.

Also, the A.I. in several reviews have indicated it to be pretty good. Attacking when having the corret numbers, running when not. Flanking, etc.. Reverting to pop and shoot when stuck.

Watapata6778d ago

Most of the reviews I've read indicate a fairly good AI, so I'm not sure where you are getting this. I though the poor AI rumor was fairly thoroughly debunked a while ago...

Retard6778d ago (Edited 6778d ago )

Wait till you play the game... Or till they actually compare the Legendary mode to RFOMs' Legendary...

Anyone see in IGN's review the aliens head popping in and out... funny as he11 looking..

If anything it's the answer to HALO 1 on the 1st Xbox. Prey is more an reasonable comparisn in terms of shooting baddies in the open with out fear of being killed buy baddies with to much AI.

gearhead6778d ago

halo killer my a$$, wait till halo 3 comes out, rumor has it they perfected multiplayer. So it will be even better than Halo or Halo 2. Beside I think Gears multiplayer is more fun than halo and halo 2's multiplayer. i like the take cover and shoot mechanic better than run, shoot, jump, shoot, run, shoot, heads shot, jump, run, dive, summersault, hammer of dawn, run, jump, shoot.

likeaboss3026778d ago

Resistance might very well be a good game. However making a statement that it's why you should by the system is crazy. Unless you have money to burn dropping $500 for a $60 game is just crazy. There has to be more content worth your purchase. I wouldn't have bought my 360 had GOW been the only game I was interested in. It's going to be a little while until my PS2 gets it's upgrade.

OC_MurphysLaw6778d ago

But nothing more. Many reviewers (save this one) are giving it high praise but calling it more of a COD2 type launch game. Good but not a system seller. Certainly if you are getting a PS3 its a title you should have...but its not a reason to get a PS3.

InMyOpinion6778d ago

Hahaha! I wonder what they got paid for typing that article.

Watapata6778d ago

Is it really that hard to believe that this reviewer may have liked Resistance more? I know plenty of people that aren't too fond of Halo, and it all comes down to personal preference. Should anyone who prefers PS3 go around claiming every positive spin on a 360 game was bought and paid for by Microsoft?

It’s Time for Sony to Bring Back Killzone and Resistance

Sony is in the middle of an FPS crisis, but bringing back two much-loved PlayStation shooters could easily be the solution.

shinoff2183365d ago

I'd rather them focus on a rpg. Shooters can wait

just_looken365d ago

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

shinoff2183365d ago

Yea right. Theirs so many shooters on the market.

just_looken365d ago

@shin

Name 3 AAA fps games coming out this year

Cacabunga364d ago

I want Killzone yea, but as a gaas no buy!

Cacabunga364d ago

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..

Crows90365d ago

There's tons of RPG in the market too...what's your point exactly.

RaidenBlack364d ago

No Killzone or Resistance or Factions for you ... only Concord & FairGame$

Ironmike365d ago

No more rpg for a while would love a new resistance though

DarXyde365d ago

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.

just_looken365d ago (Edited 365d ago )

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.

1Victor365d ago

If Sony is bringing back a old shooter I would prefer Warhawk or better yet Starhawk

Rynxie365d ago

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.

Psychonaut85365d ago

Bro the market is oversaturated with quality RPGs AND bloated shitty RPGs already.

Inverno365d ago

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.

just_looken365d ago (Edited 365d ago )

Your right except the dates killzone mercenary was on ps vita 2013 same with resistance burning skies back in 2012

Good-Smurf365d ago

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.

just_looken365d ago

@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.

shinoff2183365d ago

Infamous should atleast get remastered. I'd be cool with that

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH365d ago

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.

JEECE365d ago

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.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH365d ago

I didn’t like 3 and I didn’t find it similar to the first game.

Moegooner365d ago

2 was the best resistance game.

Michiel1989365d ago

agreed, the co-op was my fav in 2

Michiel1989365d ago

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.

Huey_My_D_Long365d ago

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.

InUrFoxHole365d ago

Liked KZ more but both those games are better than MAG

Huey_My_D_Long364d ago

Facts.
Since I'm down memory lane, I also wish for remaster of Warhawk.

P_Bomb365d ago

I’ve been barking up that tree for years. 😢

OtterX365d ago

Keep barking, boy! Keep barking! Never give up hope. ;)

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

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.

OtterX455d ago (Edited 455d ago )

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!!

Rude-ro454d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv72454d ago

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.

_SilverHawk_454d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga454d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos454d ago (Edited 454d ago )

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

seanpitt23454d ago

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!

Iceball2000455d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin455d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole455d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix455d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989454d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor455d ago (Edited 455d ago )

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 😱

Ranking the Resistance Games From Worst To Best

While it's been on ice for as long as it was around, the Resistance franchise has no shortage of quality.

Knushwood Butt1131d ago

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.

Eidolon1130d ago

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

Miraak82 1130d 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_vulgaris1131d ago

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

GoodGuy091131d ago

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

fr0sty1130d ago

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

P_Bomb1131d ago

Never played Burning Skies but I still have Retribution.

monkey6021130d ago

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

porkChop1130d 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.

darthv721129d 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_Suzumiya1130d ago

Resistance 3 was shocking and brilliant. Loved it.
