With the addition on Insomniacs much anticipated map pack and global server update for Resistance: Fall of Man, many Resistance players have been left with a question, "are there more map packs to come?" The reason for this question is that with the new update, Insomniac has left the door wide open to easily add additional maps/add ons. The addition of an in game purchase button which shows Map Pack 1 (yes numerical as if there are 2,3...more to come) with lots of additional space below. If that wasn't convincing enough, the addition to the player stats page, a list of the map pack(s) that that player has purchased, with again lots of additional space below for upcoming maps/add ons.
The real question is, will Insomniac be able to maintain its supremacy with its blockbuster FPS with adding on additional content through the upcoming months with so many highly anticipated releases coming out? Only time will tell.
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.
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!!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
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 😱
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.
Days Gone director & former Bend Studio dev Jeff Ross says he pitched an open-world Resistance game to Sony; he wasn't interested in a Syphon Filter reboot.
Sony rejected an open world Resistance? Come ON guys. Stop with these timed deals for Deathloop etc and let’s go!
This plus the fact Days Gone hit 9 million has me scratching my head this week. Why so cynical?
As far as Syphon Filter goes, it's a shame that after two generations of leaks and rumors the game was never actually in development. MGS is dead, Splinter Cell might as well be dead from what we've heard. Sony's had a massive opportunity to come in and take over a dormant genre, and they're just dragging their feet. So many opportunities to bring franchises back and they just don't.
I really wish we got more grounded action-crime or action-espionage games, not everything has to be over the top action RPGs and have sci-fi/superhero/fantasy elements.
Especially after seeing that jawdropping Matrix showcase... we can really rival some great action films if done right :O
Shame about Siphon Filter as I believe there is a market for it.
Also, there are some rumors that Sony is working on a new game that mix both Splinter Cell and MGS features.
Let's hope it is true.
obviously they will be adding another map pack. but if they're adding more than one, ill be POed if they charge 9 bucks still. ill only pay 9 bucks each for more map packs if they include more than just 2 maps each. and where the hell are the weapon packs?
Well they said that this would be the last map pack that they were doing so chances of another one happening are slim.
id like a new wep update. would be really kool to have backlash grenade but for online take away its projectile reflection capability and just have it block them.
Most of us will be playing Resistance until Warhawk comes out, so charging for new maps is a great idea by Insominac because there's really no exclusive online shooter out there.
I think the 7.99 price tag is justified. I got my map from someone else who sent the game to 3 other people already. It's likely the average person is going to send game files to atleast one other person anyway, so the map pack is really 3.99 or less.
Socom 3 added a map pack and had plenty of room to add more on the list, but there is only 1 to this date.My guess is that sales were poor and they decided to focus elsewhere. I know this is a different company all together, but the idea is the same. If alot of people don't get the map pack, they may feel that they wasted their time. User created maps are where it is at. People make maps all the time only to share them without and concern for money coming in.
And will R:Fom loose steam this fall? Oh yes. there will be about a 70% drop off once more options become available (My guess). and yes,m I own the game.
