1UP: Resistance 3: What We Know So Far

The previous Resistance titles have always depicted an America-under-siege setting, but Resistance 3 shows a fully occupied and desolate Chimera-occupied America. Confirmed locations include Haven, OK (where the Capellis settled down); St. Louis, MO; and New York City. This has a significant effect on the aesthetics and level design: rather than fight Chimera in relatively "normal" looking environments where they just spawn in for the invasion, you now have to contend with firefights in more desolate -- or decimated -- environments.

That it will be better than Resistance 2 but not better than Resistance 1.

Neckbear5050d ago

Something we can agree on!

Bereaver5050d ago

If they bring back the weapon selection style and the different kinds of weapons after the first play through.

It might have a chance.

facelike5050d ago

@bereaver

Insomniac did confirm the weapon wheel will be back. It has that "chance" you wanted.

zeddy5050d ago

resistance 1 has a certain sentimental value since it was probably one the first games most played on the ps3, the game is a classic.

Parapraxis5050d ago

I expect R3 will top both 1 & 2.

despair5050d ago

yea I think R3 will top the other 2, I mean 1 was really good and 2 was not bad but more a trial where they got some serious criticism on, so 3 should be the best of both those titles and some new stuff combined.

chainer30005050d ago

Really? I loved both games, but I thought the ending to Resistance 2 to be much more dramatic. I also prefered the doing away-with the narrative female. It was a nice touch, but the game was more streamlines this way. I also found 2 more challenging, though I *HATED* the 60 player chaos online and the lack of incentive to level up.

My biggest hope is Res3 has better online play, with better structured leveling, smaller scale battles, and the same quality campaign... which all look to be in place. Can't wat!

what i know so far, is that im getting it lol

MidnytRain5050d ago (Edited 5050d ago )

Can anyone fill me in on what the competitive multiplayer and co-op of Resistance 2 is like? I only bought my PS3 last year for Uncharted 2 and I've only played Fall of Man (though I hate its multiplayer). Are the co-op missions lengthy? How many are there? How big are competitive maps? Game modes?

EDIT: Thanks. +bubbles

RandomDude6555050d ago

Coop is essentially a moving "horde" mode with every person having unique skills. Spec ops has to hand out ammo and so on. Multiplayer is essentially a COD-fied version of RFOM. Quick kills and pretty large maps.

RandomDude6555050d ago

Deathmatch, skirmish, CTF, zones....but most ppl play DM. Co-op is the best mode.

bjh0895050d ago

should be an excellent game judging by the franchise so far

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

cooperdnizzle816d 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.

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.

Eidolon873d ago

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

Miraak82 873d 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_vulgaris874d ago

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

GoodGuy09874d ago

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

fr0sty873d ago

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

P_Bomb874d ago

Never played Burning Skies but I still have Retribution.

monkey602873d ago

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

porkChop873d 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.

darthv72872d 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_Suzumiya873d 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!

darthv721229d 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.

monkey6021229d 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

darthv721229d ago

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

SullysCigar1230d ago

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

monkey6021229d ago

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

CBaoth1229d 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_Darkness1228d 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_cheese1229d ago

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

BlackIceJoe1229d 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.

Dragonopolis1229d 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

waverider1229d 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.

Jambola121229d ago

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

Chevalier1229d 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.
