i don't think so, he is not dead.

cyborg4992d ago

and it states clearly that Nathan Hale is dead in the game. PM me if you want to see it

NAGNEWS4992d ago

ya i saw him dead in R2 but somehow he will return at the end of R3 as the final boss.

cyborg4992d ago

unlikely as GI has said that he didn't turn into a Chimera but was killied by Capelli before the infection could claim him. Also, it would be a disgrace to make Hale a enemy after all he did in R 2.

pain777pas4992d ago

@Cyborg
Even if Hale is truly dead (which did shock me)Cappelli did not want to do it and in someway he will have an influence on RE3. Hale will still be mentioned. Im going to play RE2 again to get a feel for Cappelli as a character. I liked his no nonsense Hale attitude from start to finish. Insomniac Rocks!

GWAVE4992d ago

@ cyborg

One of the best things about Diablo II is that you were tracking (and eventually fighting) the hero from the original gam.

tacosRcool4992d ago

he was turning into a Chimera so he would either be one or had to just kill himself. Nathan Hale is dead

PS3Freak4992d ago

I really don't think he is dead. With all the power he had at the end of Resistance 2, one bullet to the head would not kill him.

Karum4992d ago (Edited 4992d ago )

Watch the latest episode of the Full Moon Show, it's a R2 retrospective video - Episode 57.

They mention in here that Hale is dead.

PirateThom4992d ago

Hale is dead, but so was Shephard.

I'm fairly certain he's in the sense he's no longer Hale, but, like Shephard, has been mutated and overcome by the Chimeran virus.

FURY__UNLEASHED4992d ago

It says Malikov was able to secure a blood sample off of Hale after Capelli killed him. Tell me this, how was Malikov able to get a blood sample off Hale if he was still a mutated Chi8meran badass? I'm sure they checked his pulse and stuff before drawing blood, etc.

Insomniac has said many times that he's dead, including official press releases like the GI special. Face it: Hale is dead.

dinkeldinkse4992d ago (Edited 4992d ago )

That doesn't make sense since Malikov committed suicide right after Hale and Capelli left to meet Blake's team to get the bomb in the Last Mission of the game. It's intel in R2. Either someone fucked up the intel in R2, GI fucked this up, or Insomniac fucked up the story in R3.

FURY__UNLEASHED4992d ago

Read the GI article. Malikov is your sidekick throughout the whole R3 campaign. He decided not to kill himself.

CoxMulder4992d ago

"I really don't think he is dead. With all the power he had at the end of Resistance 2, one bullet to the head would not kill him."

That's what I thought, but it's just the difference between gameplay devices & storytelling.

Like Radec (KZ2) could take multiple shotgun shells to the face, only to kill himself with a single shot from a handgun.

bananlol4992d ago

Jordan Shepard and Nathan Hale was infected with a diffrent virus than the other sentinels, if my memory serves me i believe it was refered to as a pure/original sample. The only reason hale didnt turn into a daedalus was because he got infected with the common virus too.

The quote "Can you hear them? They are calling us. It is beautiful." are uttered by both hale and shepard after they "turn"k aside from the queen in retribution no chimera speaks. Ín a intel report it is stated daedalus immediately took control of the chimeran forces after he escaped.

if you take all this into consideration it would appear that both shepard and hale was turning into the creatures who originally created the chimera, who obviously could youse telepathy. so perhaps hales body is lost but that doent mean his mind is.

PS3Freak4992d ago

^^^ interesting theory.

No FanS Land4992d ago

It would one huge slap in the face for the fans.

DORMIN4992d ago

Umm YEAH?

Did the writer not play Resistance 2 all the way through?

bananlol4992d ago

I do believe the most interesting aspect of the resistance series is the purpose of the chimeran towers. And who blew up the main tower 65 million years ago in what now is the mexican gulf, initiating the fifth extinction.

dinkeldinkse4992d ago

Insomniac better explain why Malikov didn't commit suicide. After creating the Cloven and Daedalus, Malikov thought he doomed humanity and thought Capelli and Hale would fail at killing Daedalus so he thought he deserved to die.

sikbeta4991d ago

ehhh... guys....

"Capelli - It's been an honor, sir"

BANG!

Megaton4991d ago (Edited 4991d ago )

Capcom clearly stated that Jill Valentine was dead in RE5, even showing a pic of her tombstone. Game came out and guess what?

I think Hale's gonna be a boss. If they really just leave him dead in R2 with an uneventful bullet to the head, I've lost a bit of respect for Insomniac. That's just poor design and writing.

Capelli blew the back of his head off at the end of R2. He's dead. That's not to say he was so far in his transformation, he couldn't survive as something else. But yes, Nathan Hale is dead.

jony_dols4991d ago

Thanks N4G,
I still haven't got around to completing R2.

Why is this article on the hottest news? its headline alone is a massive spoiler.

ActionBastard4989d ago

Next time, don't wait so long.

OneSneakyMofo4992d ago

Thanks for ruining Resistance 2 for those who haven't played, jackasses.

Mr Tretton4992d ago

I've played it, but you're right, the title of this should be altered to 'Resistance 2 (SPOILER) info'

No FanS Land4992d ago

well it's been 2 years since R2 came out. Don't complain cuz you didn't bother to play it.

Mr Tretton4992d ago

No FanS Land, I have games going back a few years that I haven't been able to get around to. Physically impossible to play everything the moment it comes out unless you have no life and a money tree.

vickers5004992d ago

Then why aren't you playing those games right now instead of commenting on articles of them? If you are at work/school/someplaceyoucan 9;tplayyourps3 then fine, but that still begs the question, why are you in the article reading comments of what is obviously an article talking about Resistance 2 plot points?

That would be like me going into a "10 most memorable plot twists" article with Heavy Rain as the thumbnail, then getting pissed off that people were talking about it in the comments.

Mr Tretton4991d ago

vickers, the spoiler is in the headline!

Bloodraid4991d ago

*Mario Spoiler*
The princess is in another tower.

jony_dols4991d ago

@Vickers500:

Im in work at the moment and I decided to check N4G at lunch.
And this article just ruined the single player campaign of R2,
in which I just bought new, 2 weeks ago.

Do you expect me to haul my PS3 into work or on the bus, when i go on the internet on my phone?

interrergator4991d ago

ya never know though he could be the last boss of the game it could haunt joe in his nightmare but wat if insomniac is sayin that and all of a sudden it could be a surprise we will just have to wait till the game comes out :):):)

Jamegohanssj54991d ago

He's coming back as the Terminator.

SPARDA_4264992d ago

he could still be in the game. like as a zombie boss

sinncross4992d ago (Edited 4992d ago )

This article is a bit misleading.

GI are just stating that the story revolves around Hale being dead...

For all we know he pops up in the game as some story twist.: GI haven't finished the game, they wouldn't know.

Makidian4992d ago

Yeah, I'll believe he's dead when I beat the game and don't see him through the course of it all.

cyborg4992d ago (Edited 4992d ago )

there's no spoiler in here, this will be known since the start of Resistance 3

topgeareasy4992d ago

you haven't played resistance 2 yet lol

phatak4992d ago

dude I bought resistance 2 yesterday!!! B4 started the game im spoiled. this is bs. Why a spoiler in the title?

PirateThom4992d ago

It's a two year old game, but still sucks for people who haven't played it yet.

NoLongerHere4992d ago (Edited 4992d ago )

Thanks for this 2 years old news. :p

cyborg4992d ago (Edited 4992d ago )

How may I ask?

AFAIK, the ending of R 2 didn't show Hale as being dead.

NoLongerHere4992d ago

Well, Capelli shot him in the head ! :D

user13374992d ago

seriously, what ended did you see?? I recall quite clearly him being shot in the head! Now call me pessimistic....but a headshot usually is fatal.

PS3Freak4992d ago

Usually it is fatal, but think about how much power he had at the end of the game. One shot to the head would not kill someone like Hale.

sdtarm4992d ago

WTF SPOILERSS!! I HATE U GUYS >:(

saint_john_paul_ii4992d ago (Edited 4992d ago )

what game did you play? cause the game that i played 2 years ago showed capelli turning Hales brain into a slushy

CoxMulder4992d ago

Well Daedalus was bulletproof, why wouldn't Hale be? He obviously had Daedalus-like powers towards the end..

Don't get me wrong, I've accepted he's dead.

But if they don't explain more about it in part 3, it's a bit of a weakness in the plot in my opinion.

MGRogue20174992d ago (Edited 4992d ago )

Okay.. so he is dead.

Nothing we can do about that..

TheLastGuardian4992d ago

I liked Hale. Why did you have to go and kill off the main character? Maybe they're pulling a Jaffe surprise on us.

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

cooperdnizzle719d 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.

Eidolon776d ago

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

Miraak82 776d 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_vulgaris777d ago

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

GoodGuy09777d ago

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

fr0sty776d ago

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

P_Bomb777d ago

Never played Burning Skies but I still have Retribution.

monkey602776d ago

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

porkChop776d 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.

darthv72775d 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_Suzumiya776d 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.

Jin_Sakai1133d ago

Really wish Insomniac would bring back Resistance!

darthv721132d 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.

monkey6021132d 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

darthv721132d ago

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

SullysCigar1133d ago

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

monkey6021132d ago

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

CBaoth1132d 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_Darkness1131d 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_cheese1132d ago

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

BlackIceJoe1133d 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.

Dragonopolis1132d 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

waverider1132d 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.

Jambola121132d ago

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

Chevalier1132d 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.
