New Resistance Trademark Filed by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe

It appears as though Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has filed for a new trademark on the Resistance name. This could be anything from a sign that a new series is on the horizon to a simple protection of their own property.

Man I hope this is a new Resistance game or a reboot. I think the series was underrated and had a very good MP.

aCasualGamer3774d ago

The first one was superb. Great singleplayer with splitscreen feature. Addicting and classic multiplayer online mode.

The other two were horrific.

ICANPLAYGAMES23774d ago (Edited 3774d ago )

I'd agree with 2 (with its me too, clone game design), it was especially disappointing following the first game, it just moved in the wrong direction. I did however, really enjoy 1 and 3.

BiggCMan3774d ago

"The other two were horrific"

Dafuq...I think people often over use words of hate like this. Really think about words like horrific, awful, horrible etc. Do Resistance 2 and 3 fit the real definition of those words? Absolutely not.

2 is my favorite personally, because the co-op mode holds a special place in my heart. But I am biased with that so I can understand peoples complaints about it. The story was not as good, the 2 weapon system was bad, and it did kind of feel like a "me-too" game which was common back then.

But 3 fixed a lot of that with the best story in the series, brought back the weapon wheel, and just an all around better, darker feel to it. But the multiplayer in 3 was by far the worst in the series.

I do hope they make a new Resistance game one day, it's a great series for sure. And people know it's good, it's not really underrated in a literal sense since people love it. Just not a lot love it as the sales were actually terrible after the first game.

AntoineDcoolette3774d ago

Do hope its a new game. Hope its atmospheric like the third title and has multiplayer like the second.

nX3774d ago

Resistance isn't bad but I don't know whether I want any more first person shooters... if they'd make a 4 player coop game (against Aliens of course) with RPG elements it could be my cup of tea.

aCasualGamer3774d ago

@biggcman

Hey, that's my experience with Resistance 2 and 3.

I regard Resistance: Fall of man to have the best multiplayer online mode to date, alongside Call of Duty 4: Modern warfare. The singleplayer was amazing, with just the right amount of mystique to the alien invaders. Resistance 2 was abysmal in comparison, that amount of downgrade was a big letdown for me.

They couldn't just stick with the classic multiplayer mode, they had to "improve" it and make it "different and fresh". Goes to show that every single time this happens, usually the multiplayer mode suffers. Look at every other example in videogame history. When you have a working formula with amazing 32v32 and amazing level design, why the hell do you destroy that by adding elements and weapons that are awful.

They were horrific sequels, both 2 and 3. Again... horrific. Overused yet?

telekineticmantis3774d ago (Edited 3774d ago )

What are you talking about, it was a crime how underrated R3 was. The campaign had a good story, great pacing, some great fights, a baby Last of Us, with great weapons, and the multiplayer was awesome. The weapons(such as cryogun) made the battles less streamlined, not just aim and damage till kill, but using traps or other methods.

R3 is much better than one, I doubt you played it.

Mithan3774d ago

I agree. Resistance Fall of Man 1 was the reason I purchased a PS3 in the first place and it was an awesome game. I played through it about 3 or 4 times.

The other 2 were crap in comparison.

I would love to see them do a reboot and then actually pay attention to the story and follow it up in a cohesive way.

oODEADPOOLOo3774d ago (Edited 3774d ago )

Resistance fall of man nailed the atmosphere in the story, the sequels looked and felt like cartoons of the original. Multiplayer was fun across all though so I cant really complain, my fav multiplayer skin was Black ops: http://i233.photobucket.com...

Custcenes of RFOM, intro was amazing in atmosphere esp with rachel parker character narrating: https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Sevir3774d ago

Resistance 1-3 were all fantastic games... 2 being the weakest from a story stand point and design specifics. it adopted the 2 weapon appraoch which was away from its DNA. The game did bring Scale and some interesting set pieces. and its Co-op Multiplayer mode was fantastic and addictive...

Most agree the story wasn't bad but it wasnt as good as R:FOM and its multiplayer wasn't fun like R:FOM...

Resistance 1 and 3 stands as the strongest and definately fit the mold of the universe. I absoluetly loved R3 the most tonally, it was dark gritty, visceral and relentless just like R:FoM the weapon wheel came back as did health packs and more exploration into the lore was there. I'd have love to see them delve deeper into the Cloven and Angels that they hinted at so much in the first game.

I'm praying to dear God that a competent studio within WWS has picked up the mantle to either reboot it or take on the challenge of building out and amazing fourth numbered entry into the franchise for PS4. That universe is sooo amazing! I'd love to get back into the world of Resistance! Heck i'd throw my credit card at the computer screen if Sony announced that Insomniac is back at the Resistance IP! Tears of sweet joy at the possibilities!

nucky643774d ago

1 and 3 were both great fun.....#2 was a trainwreck....especially the last third of the game - insomniac embarrassed themselves with that section of the game.

Why o why3774d ago

Part 3 with the new guy was serious and definitely rekindled my interest in the series. That zombie esc level was well made

@jmaine

Resistance was the reason for me to purchase a PS3. I love that series one of the best shooters of the last generations.

Sharingan_no_Kakashi3774d ago

Resistance is my favorite fps ever. Hated to see it end the way it did. If this is a new game I'd be so thrilled.

LonDonE3774d ago

I loved all 3 resistance games on PS3 and i would love a remaster of all 3 in 1080p 60fps on PS4, i think resistance 3 nailed it, the art and graphics and missions etc were awesome but the game was way too short and ended abruptly, i would love another resistance game i just think maybe Sony should get another developer to do it!

Allot of people skipped the third game which is such a shame, even to this day the graphics look amazing and plays great.
Not allot of people even know that resistance 3 multi player was 60fps!
The lore was awesome too as were the monster designs, and my lord the weapons, the creative weapons were some of insomniacs best work.

Actually come to think of it i think Insomniac should do it, after all the third game was a big step in the right direction.

RevXM3774d ago (Edited 3774d ago )

I kind of hated that all the games has their own visual approach and feel, but they are all amazing in their own rights.

If this series get a reboot I want them to have one set visual and narrative goal for the entire series.

Resistance 2 looked really good in places and not so much elsewhere, I liked the story a lot and it was fun. Big fan of the 60 player mp. Redwoods map was my fav.

R3 had lots of great tech and a pretty pleasing visual direction Kind of something in between the first two games Id say.
However I was a bit turned off by the sub HD and lack in fidelidy on characters and some occational objects would be have noticebly low polygon count and washed out textures. Insomniacs tech was great, but unfortunatively it seemed they sacrificed a bit too much but still really amazing game.

If Insomniac is not returning to do Resistance then I hope maybe Ready at dawn or Guerilla/Cambridge does it.
The order is out soon. It looks great, Rad has a proven record and I think they might be the best studio to reboot Resistance, but lets see how the order turns out first.

Sharingan_no_Kakashi3774d ago

If I were heading the reboot I would combine all 3 resistance games into 1 12 hour retelling, then start doing sequels after that. I would change the ending of R2 so that Hale somehow survived too.

G20WLY3774d ago

I thought the campaign for Resistance 3 was really good - so atmospheric!

I played it ages after release, when I picked it up cheap, and was annoyed I'd missed out on such a great game!

Hellsvacancy3774d ago

I never liked any of them, the first game wasn't too bad I guess, the rest sucked

Opinions opinions

SamPao3774d ago

For me its exactely the other way around but none of them sucked

VsAssassin3774d ago (Edited 3774d ago )

Personally, Resistance 1 was so damn perfect. The pacing and the settings were varied and interesting. I remember the England level: it was eerie and mysterious, almost like a survival horror experience.

R2 was the victim of the CoD hype. I really wished they didn't go that route. Insomniac tried to reverse the curse in R3, but it was kinda too late.

R1 set a great game and identity for itself. I hope that this is indeed a new game, even a reboot is welcome, just not a remaster bundle of sorts.

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

CrimsonWing69197d ago

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

Cacabunga197d ago (Edited 197d ago )

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

Eonjay197d 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_cheese196d 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

gamerz196d ago

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

isarai197d ago

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

preciousdeath197d ago

Yes! ...and make them PSVR2 compatible.

Pedrof197d 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).

pwnmaster3000197d ago

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

P_Bomb196d ago

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

gamerz196d ago

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

refocusedman197d ago

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

JEECE197d ago

Thanks for turning Insomniac into a Marvel studio.

ApocalypseShadow196d ago (Edited 196d 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?

JEECE196d 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 Butt197d 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.

Pedrof196d 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.

Video Game Franchises in Danger of Being Forgotten

The gaming industry moves at such a pace that it’s not surprising we’ve seen countless franchises fall into obscurity over the years.

S2Killinit199d ago

Im surprised that a game with a heritage of Medal of Honor is in this list.

cthulhucultist199d ago

There is a rumour that Driver 1 & 2 remasters will be released for Switch and presumably for other systems as well.

https://www.gamingbible.com...

Not sure however whether this results into new games in the near future.

HellspawnPR1981199d ago

Ninja Gaiden? Splinter Cell? Tenchu? Virtua Fighter? Killer Instinct? Killzone?

DefenderOfDoom2199d ago

I would very much enjoy
a new dedicated single player Killzone campaign. With a fun multi-player.

cthulhucultist198d ago

Tenchu and Killer Instict would be great indeed!

Unfortunately new Killzone game does not seem to be in the works

Virtua Fighter is going to receive a new entry!

https://www.dualshockers.co...

Splinter Cell is likely to be one of the remasters launching next year (not sure whether this has to do anything with the remake previously announced)

https://toronto.ubisoft.com...

HellspawnPR1981198d ago

Yeah, read the news about a new Virtua Fighter and I am so ready for it. Splinter Cell at this point I don't believe anything Ubisoft says plus I don't think modern day Ubisoft can make a decent stealth game. They will likely fuck it up.

Inverno199d ago

Basically everything at this point as companies have no concern with preservation.

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.

shinoff2183355d ago

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

just_looken355d 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

shinoff2183355d ago

Yea right. Theirs so many shooters on the market.

just_looken355d ago

@shin

Name 3 AAA fps games coming out this year

Cacabunga355d ago

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

Cacabunga354d 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..

Crows90355d ago

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

RaidenBlack354d ago

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

Ironmike355d ago

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

DarXyde355d 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_looken355d ago (Edited 355d 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.

1Victor355d ago

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

Rynxie355d 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.

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

Inverno355d 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_looken355d ago (Edited 355d ago )

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

Good-Smurf355d 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_looken355d 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.

shinoff2183355d ago

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

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH355d 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.

JEECE355d 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.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH355d ago

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

Moegooner355d ago

2 was the best resistance game.

Michiel1989355d ago

agreed, the co-op was my fav in 2

Michiel1989355d 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_Long355d 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.

InUrFoxHole355d ago

Liked KZ more but both those games are better than MAG

Huey_My_D_Long354d ago

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

P_Bomb355d ago

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

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