And the speculation begins once again :) Mind you, it didn't really go away.

Looking forward to a third Resistance instalment. It's inevitable. Just hope Insomniac have looked at the differences between the epic first and mediocre second and realise what this one needs to be :)

ChineseDemocracy5027d ago

I wish. One of my favourite IPs of this gen.

I_find_it_funny5027d ago

There is Killzone 3 in April, it might be good to release R3 before it.
I'll pick up both games.

HolyOrangeCows5027d ago

I hope they've been working hard on it since R2. There were definitely kinks to fix and the graphics could have been nicer.

And they should bring vehicle sections back.

DigitalRaptor5027d ago (Edited 5027d ago )

Resistance 3 won't be out before Killzone 3. We've not heard anything about it. My guess is that we will either hear more info about it later this year, and it will be released late 2011, or we will hear nothing.

Tachyon_Nova5027d ago

It wont be seen until late next year. Insomniac have learnt from Resistance 2 that they can't make a super high quality shooter in 2 years when you have shared development with another game. Resistance 3 will be all the better for the extended development time frame.

BattleAxe5027d ago

Finally a game that I can get excited about other than Killzone 3.

Tachyon_Nova5027d ago (Edited 5027d ago )

Perhaps you should lower your standards? Actually just shift them, there are plenty of games that you should be more excited about than KZ3.

Edit @ Above/Below: Well above you aren't interested in any games but KZ3, yet below you state that you are going to purchase some other games as well, so surely you must be interested in them if you are considering purchasing them.

Anyway, I take back what I said before (although I'll leave it above so I can't be accused of foul play), you can be most interested in which ever game you want. It's your opinion after all.

However, personally I am more interested in the prospects of LBP2, Crysis 2, Rage, Brink, GT 5, Black Ops, Infamous 2, NFS: Hot Pursuit (although admittedly only because the original was the first semi-hardcore racer I ever played), Dead Space 2, Red Faction 4 and Assassins Creed: Brotherhood than I am in Killzone 3.

BattleAxe5027d ago (Edited 5027d ago )

Like what?

I'm getting Socom 4, CoD: Black Ops, Crysis 2, Killzone 3 and Resistance 3...I can't think of any other games that interest me that are comming up within the next 8 or 9 months. Maybe MGS: Rising and Deus Ex:: Human Revolution, but other than that I'm not too sure.

I want Far Cry 3, Uncharted 3, Metal Gear Solid Collection, the next Rainbow Six and maybe a remastered PS2 Killzone would be cool.

Quagmire5027d ago

Well, we always knew there will be a Resistance 3, and that it will be sold by retailers, so...how is this a rumour again?

dkblackhawk505027d ago

Quote: Continue the fight against the Chimera invasion in Resistance 3, as the battle moves to New York City and humanity makes its final stand.

Taking place in New York, the big apple :D (Hopefully)

LordMarius5027d ago (Edited 5027d ago )

aww you lost your battle for hits to examiner, lol

(I saw the whole report conversation on both stories)

Edit: oh well guess I will approve

dkblackhawk505027d ago

Yeah I did...I never win >.> oh well, I shall one day!

Calm Down Sunshine5027d ago

Oh christ, not America again.

The final stand should be in Russia, where it all began.

It would definitely make a more interesting backdrop than any American city.

Tachyon_Nova5027d ago

Who is saying that this is the final stand then? At the end of R2 the humans only just landed there first blow to the chimera, there's still a long way to go in this war, and if the series is done before Resistance 5 then they will be bringing it to a close too soon.

twoheadedturtle5027d ago

I agree with you completely. I think Russia would be a great setting, especially since it rarely featured in gaming. Would be nice to explore a Russian setting that I'm not familiar with that also fits in perfectly with the story.

The only thing dead is your lame attempts to troll. Resistance is far from being milked and also far from dead.

Spenok5025d ago

Lmao he really did call this dead and milked. WOW!

trounbyfire5027d ago (Edited 5027d ago )

and R3 would never come out one month later

thats stupid....why the hell am i on N4G @ 2:00 am.....i need sleep or a life

Quagmire5027d ago

Yes, it would be an unfortunate move by sony to release two AAA FPS games so close together, however, the earlier the better. I wanna buy both games Day 1. And yes, you need to sleep, wake up, walk down to your local health store, and order yourself a life.

trounbyfire5027d ago

wow i didn't spell that right yep sleep

N4PS3Fanboys5027d ago (Edited 5027d ago )

Since when has Resistance been an AAA series?

Resistance - 86 Metascore
Resistance 2 - 87 Metascore

AAA is 90 and above only.

tyrex5027d ago (Edited 5027d ago )

the review score of a game has nothing to do with whether a game is AAA or not. besides if you go by your logic (being a mindless sheep that goes by an average of peoples opinions that you don't know to tell you whether a game is good) when is a 87 86 bad. lol @ people using metacritic.

Cyrax_875027d ago

I take it you're using the fanboy definition of "AAA"?

Resistance 3 is such a great game. One of my all time bests.

cooperdnizzle667d ago

Couldn’t agree more. Still love It as a shooter to this day.

Just something about that game. I really wish they would just do a remaster, don’t even need a remake just bring it up to todays out put, touch up a few things if any, and I am there to buy it day one.

Of course I would love a remake built from the ground up. As long as they treated it like Shadow of the Colossus, or close to those type of remake. Wouldn’t want it to get the RE treatment…. Just because the game is already paced so perfect and hits all the right beats that I wouldn’t touch that aspect.

Ranking the Resistance Games From Worst To Best

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.

Eidolon723d ago

Resistance 1 MP will always be my favorite. Call it nostalgia or whatever, but that was my jam, felt more balance, natural.

Miraak82 723d ago

i have the platinium too , 10k kills in online ranked matches was no joke . Took me 3-4 months straight grinding but it was fun . To put it in perspective you only got like 25 kills per match if you were 1st place every match that's at Least 400 matches in 1st

Sciurus_vulgaris725d ago

I only played the 3 main Resistance titles. My ranking would be;
1. Resistance 3
2. Resistance: Fall of Man
3. Resistance 2

GoodGuy09725d ago

Man I loved 3's campaign. Another gem stuck on the ps3 and who knows if insomniac will go back to the franchise.

fr0sty724d ago

Resistance, Warhawk, MAG, Motorstorm, there's so many first party gems on PS3 that Sony has just left to die...

P_Bomb724d ago

Never played Burning Skies but I still have Retribution.

monkey602724d ago

Burning Skies was about 3 hours long and rather inconsequential. You haven't missed anything

porkChop724d ago

Honestly, Burning Skies was shit. There's no two ways about it. At first I thought it looked terrible, then I second guessed myself. Big mistake.

darthv72723d ago

Retribution has this really cool feature where you could use a PS3 to link a controller to it and play. So if you had a 2000 or 3000 hooked to a tv, you can use a real controller. All of this predates the PSP Go's ability to sync a sixaxis to it via bluetooth.

Yui_Suzumiya724d ago

Resistance 3 was shocking and brilliant. Loved it.

Why Resistance Was So Incredible

While the studio is best known for Spyro the Dragon, Ratchet, and Clank, and Spider-Man back on the PS3 the studio broke from creating platformers and made one of the highest regarded science-fiction first-person shooters of all time. This was Resistance and it remains one of Sony's most acclaimed and dormant franchises.

Really wish Insomniac would bring back Resistance!

darthv721080d ago

Agreed. Until they do a new entry, I'd love to get the two portable games remade into console versions. Maybe in a nice compilation with the mainline titles.

monkey6021079d ago

Burning Skies wasn't a great game.
It was only a couple of hours long and there was nothing memorable about it.

I'd love a new entry

darthv721079d ago

^monkey, hence why it should be remade into a better version.

SullysCigar1080d ago

Resistance 3's campaign was gorgeous for the time - and an awesome game to boot.

monkey6021079d ago

I remember being put off by it because McHale wasn't the MC but it turned out to be my favourite campaign

CBaoth1079d ago

by and large though the Resistance IP featured many protagonists (4 altogether I think if you include the portables). One of the reasons I enjoyed it was not being shackled to individual story arcs. Very rare for a major franchise.

Army_of_Darkness1079d ago

My favorite resistance game as well! It seriously had creepy, scary a$$ moments bro! It made me want an action horror game from insomniac!

Mr_cheese1079d ago

Remember playing this through online co op with the move controller and gun attachment! What a game!

BlackIceJoe1080d ago

I've said in the past I'd like to see this series return and have it take place years later, like in the present.

I'll give you an example if I'm not mistaken the last game ended in the 50s, so if it was to take place some time in the 2020s you'd have an opportunity to see how the world changed after the fall of Chimera and all the new technology that came out of that war.

Just like in our universe we all know WW2 happened, but we never experienced it, so if the next Resistance game takes place years later so too would people in that universe know a war look place against the Chimera, they just wouldn't know what it really was like.

So getting to see how that universe would respond to the Chimera reemerging would be interesting.

Imagine a little kid talking with his grandfather about the war and the kid just thinks it was just a made up bed time horror story and what was said was worse than what really took place, but now that the Chimera come back the kid will find out why years later the old timer adults were still waiting for the Chimera to return.

I think there is great potential for this series still and I really believe the best way forward for Resistance is make it have a time jump too.

So hopefully this series will return.

Dragonopolis1079d ago

Great Idea. I'd play that version.

Resistance was a great game and of all the remasters.... I would play a great remastered version of resistance series as well

waverider1079d ago

I was blown away when i played for the first time Resistance on the PS3. Great Game. Also liked very much an played for hundred of hours the Co-op of R2. The SP campaign of R3 is also excelent. I really hope that Sony and Insomniac annouced the Remaster of the Series and a new chapter. They got story to do that.

Jambola121079d ago

Resistance 2 was one of the first few games i played on ps3 and I loved it, would definitely finish that again :D

Chevalier1079d ago

I loved all the Resistance games. But part 2 online was amazing. The Marksmen for the Spec Ops type class when it was fully upgraded was such an amazing weapon. Oh man I wish they release all the games again and let us play part 2 online again.
