Enjoying your new copy of Resistance: Retribution, PSP owners? Good, because what you see is what you get - Bend Studios doesn't intend to release any downloadable content for the game.

I guess now we'll just have to stick with whatever comes in the package.

EvilCackle5510d ago

A company releasing a complete game is a novel concept, yep.

morganfell5510d ago

You get a lot. What they offer in this game so far is more than other games offer WITH their DLC.

I have the A/V cable hooked to my PSP and have it Infected via USB cable hooked to my PS3 and Resistance 2. The ability to sit back on the couch, play Resistance Retribution on the big screen with the Dual Shock 3 controller beats any DLC to date.

Infected adds new weapons and regenerating health. Using the DS3 increases difficulty and removes the auto aim (which can be manually turned off when not cabled to the PS3). It is a fantastic experience, great story line, and a return of the same great narration from the first game. And the narrator is actually a character that appears n the game.

Nihilism5510d ago (Edited 5510d ago )

i hope you were being sarcastic...i do think it'a a good thing, LOOK a new game...for $49, but why get that when you can get that, plus a shi+y map pack for the broken multiplayer for only $10 more!!, as far as pc gaming is concerned, either release an expansion pack at full price, or release dlc for free, fu<k these tiny pointless updates....when i paid $15 for sins of a solar empire entrenchement...i didn't realise the starbases were the ONLY thing new in the update

SRuN45510d ago

Guess that's what happens when you're probably making Syphon Filter 5.

ChampIDC5510d ago

Why is every game expected to have DLC these days? It's pitiful. It shouldn't be news that a game isn't going to have any.

EvilCackle5510d ago

Sorry, meant to submit a "top 10 video game asses" article. Finger slipped.

The Matrix5510d ago

DLC was a great idea but just like communism, good ideas that aren't carried out the right way can be blightful instead of beneficial.

DLC has become a way for developers to make half a game with the excuse/promise that they'll finish and send it to you later...for a fee of course.

EvilCackle5510d ago

The Lost and Damned was one of the few pieces of downloadable content worth downloading. It felt like an expansion pack you'd buy for an old PC game.

3sq5510d ago

No, Resistance Retribution does not need any DLC to unlock already on disc content.:P

Tony P5510d ago

I think it's a vote of confidence to be disappointed in their DLC drought. Perhaps it comes with the implication that they won't screw us like some others *coughhadoukencough*

Either way, plenty of titles haven't yet hopped on the DLC train and the games haven't suffered for it.

Best PSP Games Of All Time Ranked - PlayStation Universe

Find out the answer to what are The Best PSP Games Of All Time in our ranked list of 16 excellent titles that appeared on Sony's first handheld.

Terry_B1125d ago

Bad List since Ridge Racers 2 is missing there.

1125d ago
PapaBop1125d ago

I'm curious but is it possible to legally play these games without buying a psp?

luckytrouble1125d ago

You can play some of them on the Vita via PSN purchasing, but a PSP with a functional UMD drive is the only completely legal way to play games like FF7: Crisis Core.

WeAreLegion1125d ago

Some of them, yes. But most PSP games are locked to that system or digitally on Vita. The Vita's second analog stick is amazing for FPS games. I use an emulator to play many PSP games. I know that's illegal, but I wouldn't call it unethical. There's no way to give developers money for these games anymore. Unless you buy their new games. :)

Highly recommend Infected, if you get the chance.

Magic_Spatula1125d ago

Emulators aren't illegal. Unethical? Maybe. The issue companies have are how you obtained the games. If you got them through legal matters (such as making your own backups of games you own and not distributing them), they're mostly okay with that. If you got the through less..... ethical means, then yeah, it's a no-no in their eyes.

Fluke_Skywalker1124d ago

@Magic_Spatula Like he said, there is no legal way to buy most psp games anymore in a way that gives the developers any money. So yes emulators are normally illegal and unethical, but in this case its actually the only way to play some of these games, if you didn't buy the games many years ago.

Fluke_Skywalker1124d ago

Yeah they really need to give us a remake of that for PS4/5 I absolutely loved that game. Still the saddest ending to a video game ever.

SDuck1125d ago

The fact this has vanilla Dissidia instead of Duodecim tells me not to take the list serious. Duodecim is obviously the superior since it has the same content (story included) from the first game and (much) more

Magic_Spatula1125d ago

Yeah. Duodecim was basically an enhanced version of the original game.

Why Resistance Is One of Sony's Best IPs

The PlayStation 3 had a lot of great franchises however one of the best was Insomniac's Resistance franchise. The studio's first attempt at a first-person shooter launched alongside the PS3 and was one of the system's best series. With 3 core games as 2 handheld games released on the PSP and PS Vita Resistance ended on a high note with Resistance 3. The series may have ended but it's still one of Sony's best IPs.

I would like to see the original remastered with the exact same mp options.

Nu2175d ago (Edited 2175d ago )

Wouldn't it be cool is Resistance copied the Gears of War TPS mechanics. Gears of War has no competition and Resistance needs be reinvigorated. Even Kill Zone could be created in a Gears of War type hybrid engine

Omnislashver362175d ago

I'd rather see The Order 1887 combat Gears. But it would have to be quite a bit better than the first game.

ILostMyMind2175d ago (Edited 2175d ago )

Resistance and KZ there are nothing to do with Gears. Maybe The Order.

UltraNova2175d ago

I miss those games...Re2 was one of the games that got me hooked on MP last gen, that and KZ2 MP. A Resistance trilogy remaster would be awesome.

OB1Biker2175d ago (Edited 2175d ago )

Tps all the way for me. I don't think gears is still a reference though.

Babadook72175d ago

I liked the first Resistance quite a bit. Definitely makes the top 100 PS IP's.

Edito2175d ago

What are you talking about dude?

Snakeking332175d ago

Man no one wants that I played and beat both and in my opinion resistance is hands over fist the better game the single player had a way better story I will give gears the multiplayer I am a single player gamer so I don’t give a crap about multiplayer

mandf2175d ago

We play fps be we like them. This is a fps. Take your tps elsewhere.

mikeslemonade2175d ago

Clocked like the third most hours in a game in Resistance fall of man, but we don’t need that trash to be remastered. Shooters don’t need to be remastered.

GhostTurtle2175d ago

That sounds like a terrible idea...

TKCMuzzer2175d ago

I went back and played it again on PS3, it still holds up in terms of creating a great atmosphere. The presentation of the story is very well done.

The_Jackel2175d ago

why not all 3 remastered for ps4 with announcement of resistance 4

JackBNimble2175d ago

If they're going to do a resistance then they should just make a new one, screw the remasters.

The_Jackel2175d ago

its more for the people who may have missed out on playing them on ps3 :)
but i woukd prefer a demon souls remaster first love that game.
and a new one would be awesome to have with the coop fun and 60player mp if i remember correctly

showtimefolks2175d ago

co-op in the 2nd game and KZ2 MP are my best memories of ps3 online FPS games. Till this day i truly believe resistance 3 failed because for some weird reason it didn't include the 8 player co-op which was one of the most played game modes in resistance 2. Insomniac has grown a lot as a studio and i would love to see a complete remake of the original like ratchet and clank style than for sequel go in any directions

ginsunuva2175d ago (Edited 2175d ago )

The MP in the first one was up there with KZ2 MP.
But Warhawk trumped every MP game ever.

MizHDTV2175d ago

Couldn’t agree more
Kz2 was my baby

WilliamSheridan2175d ago

Sales indicate that no one really wants this game...

The_Jackel2175d ago

so based off what you're saying.... no one wanted the wiiu or xbone or nokia phones or near on any xbox game this gen due to how poorly they are doing? am i correct or did you mean something else?

WilliamSheridan2174d ago

No one wanted the WiiU, that is correct. Xbox One is selling about as good as the 360 did, so that logic is out. Nokia phones coming out after 2010, no one wanted. Where are they now?

-Foxtrot2176d ago

I'd still like to see a remake of the first game with expanded lore then the series go in a different direction for the sequel...Resistance Fall of Man II with Nathan Hale being a fully developed character for the entire new trilogy.

Nitrowolf22176d ago (Edited 2176d ago )

Id like something along the lines of this to, though i do feel that 3 is where the 2nd game should have gone in terms of story. The guns are all cool (insomniac has always been good with weapons), i just IMO that the human race should never be able to comprehend the chimera tech, and have it be an ongoing struggle, old versus new. The 1st game nailed that feel, as did the third game. The 2nd game though had the best co-op

Its crazy how good the multiplayer was for the first game with the whole matchmaking system, friends list, clan system/battles ect ect. I would really love to see the features in the multiplayer to return back from 1.

-Foxtrot2176d ago

Yeah for me Resistance 3 was fantastic but the only thing holding it back was the fact Joseph Capelli, who you take control of had hardly any development in the other two games so the ending of "winning the fight" didn't feel very compelling. However if they stuck with Nathan Hale and developed him better, giving him a good backstory and the like then I think I would have been satisfied more. Kind of shame they called him Nathan aswell considering at the time NaughtyDog had Uncharted with Nathan Drake...maybe a name change? Wouldn't mind it to be honest. Nicholas Hale? Nolan Hale? Who knows.

Personally I think they ruined Hale giving him the Chimeran Virus, it shouldn't have really been a huge plot point in my opinion, they got too into it with government programs and the like instead of just letting Nathan Hale be some lucky guy who managed to resist the virus by good genes. Then you had the small time skip and giving him a special team with other soldiers to lead. I kind of liked the "man against the world" feel from the first game. The family story they gave Joseph in the third game could probably be incorporated in with Nathan Hale someway if they ever do the re-telling, at least a wife...maybe give it a "War of the Worlds" vibe with her being like Carrie in that story, the woman he tries to find.

I just think they need to go back to what made the first game so great and take the best from Resistance 2 and 3. I loved that they went back to med kits in the third game and tried to fix their mistakes from the second, felt like an old school shooter considering this was the time when COD hit popularity.

Remake-Retell the first game
Develop Nathan more...maybe a name change
Keep the great multiplayer without all the gimmicks you see these days
Maybe some co-op with the other player being a non story character like what Halo used to do
Add to the lore
Change the ending a little to set up better future games
Sequel is Resistance Fall of Man II
Third game ends with Nathan ending up on their home world taking fight to them for future trilogy.

FTLmaster2176d ago

A remake or reboot of this would be welcome. Enjoyed the trilogy on PS3.

2175d ago
PhoenixUp2176d ago

Nathan Hale was a bland protagonist though

Vanfernal2175d ago

Well sadly I think he's a product of the era... Last gen was characterized by bland protagonists with only a few exceptions...

specialguest2175d ago

The Resistance games were not amazing. I played 1 and 2 back in the PS3 era, and it just felt like it was missing something to set it up to top tier level. The game felt like a score of an 8.

tigertron2175d ago (Edited 2175d ago )

FOM and Retribution remastered with their online restored would be great.

I'm not bothered about the others as they didn't feel like Resistance games, although 3 was a huge step up from 2.

In my opinion this is the best PSP game out there!

SamPao4624d ago

I liked it, but never finished it, I was stuck at some point, and couldnt pass is...maybe I'll check it out again with 2 analog sticks :)

BattleAxe4624d ago

I liked it, but didn't finish it either, but I didn't finish it because I found it hard to get immersed in the game with the way the control scheme was with having only one analogue nub. If they make that game playable with two analogue sticks, then I'll give it another go.

Cloudberry4624d ago

.
Bend studios did a great job.

BattleAxe4624d ago

Bend is a great studio. Their work they did with Syphon Filter was amazing. I think Syphon Filter had a better cover system over Resistance Retribution.
