Insomniac didn’t feel all enthusiastic at continuing the series after the third installment
I don’t see how them getting bought out would encourage them to make a fourth game when they could work on another new IP or a sequel to Ratchet & Clank or Spider-Man.
Plus the third game ended on a deserved bittersweet note with a sense of finality against the Chimera. It’d be soul crushing even for this series to make all those sacrifices go to waste
Thing is, there can be multiple teams doing multiple projects. One Insomniac team can do Spiderman, another can do Ratchet and Clank, another can do Resistance. It just depends on whether Sony is willing to grow the team enough and pay for more offices to do more work.
Fluttershy, Insomniac isn't Bioware, dummy. There are plenty of publishers with multiple teams running multiple projects. Sony has several studios with numerous ongoing projects and teams. I don't know why this is such a difficult concept for plebs to grasp but the disagrees keep coming in lol
I want a semi-open world(think GoW) greedy, violent and super heavy atmosphere Killzone with KZ2's controls/feel with the best weapon audio possible and full on stealth elements for additional choice of approach.
As for Resistance (boy do I love this IP) I think Insomniac could do this game justice if they rebooted or continued the story with a different character. I just crave for Insomniac's weapon design ingenuity! As for multiplayer, they can go all out on a BR mode with some asymmetric PvPvE elements thrown in there like huge Chimera beasts dropping into the map at some random point and the team who kills it gets legendary loot. Man just thinking about a modern Resistance game with a proper AAA BR made by Insomniac makes me salivate.
I love doing so too, but there has to be context behind it.
Killing the Helghast for example is entertaining gameplay wise as much as it is narrative wise because of all the lore behind it all.
The Chimera were said to have been defeated for good after killing of converting 90% of humanity’s population as well dramatically changing earth’s climate. If after all that the Chimera came back even stronger than ever, then would be far too bleak for there to ever be any reasonable chance of defeating them for good.
KillZone Shadowfall was a borefest. GG has wrote themselves into a hole with the story for that game. I don't know how they're going to fix that.
Resistance has much better gameplay, world building, story, enemy designs, weapon variety, campaigns, etc. In terms of campaigns, Resistance is leagues better. But in terms of online multiplayer, I'd give that trophy to KZ.
I'd like to see them reboot it and go back to what Fall of Man was like
They could always do a reboot retelling like they've already done with Ratchet and Clank then do something completely new with a sequel
I'd love if they could restructure Nathan Hale and make him a better all rounded, developed character spanning the entire trilogy. At the end of the second one he could be transported to their world or something
Resistance 3 had a nice ending that closed the book on everything so I wouldn't want them to spoilt that, too many games come back and do the whole "Oh that great evil you got rid of? Yeah it's back"
I'm still amazed at how little recognition is given to the first resistance from "fans" esp the narration of RFOM during custscenes. Cornelia Hayes did an excellent job as Rachel Parker she gave the world an authentic sense of atmospheric urgency and dread that I haven't seen matched since Halo, It was even more engrossing at times then gears. The multiplater on Resitance 2 though just looked like saints row 3 version of gears... https://www.youtube.com/wat...
they can start with an easy one. Resistance Trilogy Remaster for PS4 and includes trophy patch for RFoM. there is so much win in THAT. BUT...ONLY if they let us have back Resistance 2 MP...THE WHOLE THING!
that would be one hell of a housewarming gift for the fans!
"It’d be soul crushing even for this series to make all those sacrifices go to waste"
I have always felt that there is room for more. For instance the Chimera could have sent out a distress signal just before the tower/ship blew up to the real threat to humanity or what if thanks to the virus Nathan Hale somehow survived?
There are five games in the Resistance series. I think they could at least take the two portable ones and give them a proper big screen remake, like the GoW portables on the PS3 got.
No. let them work on what they want. I loved Resistance, but Insomniac proved they can work on New Ip and are hitting their Prime with the release of Spiderman, so let them work on what they want, and have a smaller 3rd party remake or remaster Resistance, and see if there's an audience for it.
That's why they were independent and claimed to want that independence. If they wanted that freedom they should've stuck to their guns. Not took a payoff.
You're making it sound nefarious when this is hardly the case. There's a mutual trust here.
They know they'll be free to do what they want under Sony. Total autonomy - of course not, but Sony will likely approve and back anything they do.
This isn't to say Sony won't have any say - they'll likely encourage the immediate continuation of Spider-Man, but I doubt they'll mind and the fans sure won't.
Overall Insomniac is happy and trust Sony, or they wouldn't have taken the deal.
“ "It's hard for people in any industry to accept change, especially when you've been focused on doing things one way for so long," said Ted Price, Insomniac's president and CEO, in a recent interview with Polygon. "But as an industry, we're being forced to become comfortable [with], or at least accept, that change will be a constant for us."”
“ According to Price, Insomniac's independence is crucial to its ability to continually adapt to changing circumstances and try new things in all areas of game development. "We've always loved the opportunity to experiment with ... early on, game design models; now, delivery mechanisms and new platforms," he explained. And Insomniac's corporate culture ensures its employees are always challenged to "think creatively about not just game design, but how [they're] delivering [their] games and what audiences [they're] addressing with [their] games."”
“ Insomniac attempted to combine its history of creating hardcore games with a new platform, Facebook, when it began developing Outernauts in 2010. Price explained that the studio wanted to try a new business model but still deliver an experience that core gamers would appreciate. The company turned to Electronic Arts for help with the first half of that equation, and it didn't work out because, as Price put it, "the monetization and viral features that we had put in turned off a lot of the audience that we were hoping to attract."”
“ "I'm very proud of what we did with both those games because we took creative risks," he said. "And I think as a developer, taking creative risks is something you have to continue to do, even if people are telling you that all they want is the same recycled stuff over and over again."”
Yes please. It's been a crime that there hasn't been a Resistance in any form this generation. Should have Blue Point do a remaster of the trilogy while we are on the topic.
I loved them all fairly equally for their own style, but imo the 3rd took the best elements from Resistance 1+2 to make it my favorite campaign in the series. Mp in R3 grew old quick
I really loved the single-player for 2, and the sequences in the swamp and that huge house in the middle of a marsh while one of those t-rex sized Chimera circles the perimeter, looking for you. There were just so many "moments" in 2 that were very Spielbergian.
I wanted a new Resistance game, but thinking about it I would rather a new FPS from them. Something with the crazy weapons of Sunset Overdrive and the sci-fi style of Ratchet and Clank, but without the furries.
i hope to see a new ip from insomniac. something a little bit darker or more mature than ratchet & clank or spider-man. i mean i loved both but a new mature game from them is what i want.
I'd like to see a new Resistance game, yet I'd have the game take place decades later. For a quick example say the game comes out in 2022, I'd have the game set in 2022 too. Show how the world changed since the Chimera were killed and I can even imagine people telling their kids about these monsters, but they don't believe their parents, because they never saw it with their own eyes, that is until they return. I really liked the past games, so I welcome a sequel, but like it said I do want it to take place years later, too.
Insomniac is huge. Maybe they could combine their smaller teams working on VR and have two teams doing Spider-Man and ratchet. Maybe mix a resistance in there
Insomniac didn’t feel all enthusiastic at continuing the series after the third installment
I don’t see how them getting bought out would encourage them to make a fourth game when they could work on another new IP or a sequel to Ratchet & Clank or Spider-Man.
Plus the third game ended on a deserved bittersweet note with a sense of finality against the Chimera. It’d be soul crushing even for this series to make all those sacrifices go to waste

Yes Next gen Resistance
Insomniac should do whatever they want, they deserve every freedom to deliver the game they want.
Fingers crossed for a RFoM remaster.
