In Joystiq's recent review of the upcoming PSP game, Resistance Retribution, they mistakenly take Sony to task for locking out PSP-1000 owners from using the DualShock 3 connectivity that R:R features. This seemed suspicious from what we were familiar with, so we talked to Jeff Rubenstein from the PS.Blog who set matters straight.
Bend Studio: "Since Resistance: Retribution hit the PlayStation Plus Classics Catalog in February, we have been delighted to see so many players experience this Bend Studio classic all over again. During this time, we have been monitoring your feedback to ensure you can enjoy Resistance: Retribution to its fullest on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles. Below, you can view the upcoming patch notes ahead of its release next week."
The Game Rating and Administration Committee of Korea has rated Resistance: Retribution for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, suggesting the PSP title will join the PlayStation Plus Classics Catalog.
This will def be easier to play on tv than originally designed. I remenber hooking psp to ps3 to use a ds3. Cumbersome but it worked. Its a good spin off.
Hope we will get Valkyria Chronicles 2-3 and Carnage Heart at some point. There's a bunch of psp games I never got a chance to play.
I didn’t know this title existed, so when I saw the headline, I thought a new Resistance was being made. Man I miss that 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.
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.
YAY!!!
I 2nd that notion!
HUH? that is awesome. but now i'm have to carry a dual shock 3 around.
Anybody with a brain could have figured that out. The PSP, regardless of model, still requires a PS3 and the Resistance 2 game. The PSP is NOT connected via the video output cables but instead digitally with the USB. So even if you have the old PSP's without video out functionality you should still be able to connect directly to your PS3 to play with a SIXAXIS or DS3.
I hope more games will support this awesome feature. It's like Remote Play but the other way around.
Perfect :)
