Resistance 3 Video Blowout

In the spirit of the end of the world, Sony has been kind enough to provide IGN with an all-new Resistance 3 single player trailer.

user83971444664d ago

Is there any word on a mode similar to Call of Duty zombies?

BiggCMan4664d ago

Not that I know of. I'm more for the story when it comes to Resistance anyways. I love the multiplayer a lot, especially the co-op in 2 which was just fantastic. But this game has always been about the story for me, and it's looking fantastic for 3. The multiplayer is making me skeptical, as it looks more generic this time around, but we shall see.

Boletarian4664d ago

Story: Alien species invades Earth. End of the world scenario. Small resistance group tries to survive and defeat the enemy.

Probably the most original story ever.

grailly4664d ago

maybe you can help me if you like the story a lot. I played both games but never really understood. Where do the chimera come from? the invasion started in russia when they found a tower or something like that, isn't it? so I thought it was an experience gone bad in russia. or is it just a straight out space invasion scenario?

@Boletarian

Take an English class one day and you'll find out that every and any story you can come up with has been done before. You can't name any game or genre out that is totally new, everything is just something else presented in a new light.

What is the difference between a love song of this decade and one from the 90's? They both offer the same content, under the same genre. The lyrics may also be quite similar, but the way they are sung are completely different.

Its the same way with the gaming medium. Yes the 'aliens invading Earth thing' has been done before, but its the way Insomniac presents it that makes it better than the way others tell the similar story. Gears of War follows a similar tale, yet you'll be hardpressed to find many people begging for the next to see what happens in the story.

Instead of the usual 'hero(es) take on waves of the alien and save humanity from disaster, Resistance is about humanity's failure to save itself. Something that is not usually the case in most plots. There is no daring victory or anything, we lost and are now in the shoes of a retired broken vet fighting to survive long enough to die naturally.

Its not the content that separates a great story from a terrible one, its how its presented to you.

badz1494664d ago

why did I watch that? now I'm too eagerly excited for the game! I just hope they stop teasing me like this! :-)

FACTUAL evidence4664d ago

Not even jumping on the resistance banwaggon but RFOM and COD4 started me on the whole FPS bs. Resistance til I die! Lol. but seriously, this is the game I've been waiting for since I beat R2 in 08.

BiggCMan4664d ago

Can you believe it was 3 years ago?? Where the hell did that time go. I still play R2 every so often like it's still new.

refocusedman4664d ago (Edited 4664d ago )

Is it me or is it everytime I hear more abt this game, the more I wanna purchase it. The atmosphere, the weapons, the story ( I really hope its a good one) is turning this game from a get it when I get it to a must have day one.This may be the resistance that insomniac finally gets everything right.

KingDustero4664d ago

Best game coming out in September IMO.

Sony has really dominated this year with exclusives. I'm amazed at how many AAA exclusives they can push out in a single year.

They're still not done either. Twisted Metal and Uncharted 3 are going to be AMAZING along with Resistance 3.

Plus there have been and still are a TON of great multi-platform games coming out like Dark Souls, Assassin's Creed Revelations, BF3 and Skryim.

IMO 2011 is EASILY the BEST year in gaming this generation if not for ALL of gaming.

TyrionL4664d ago

I agree, and if you're like me and own all platforms you can add Gears 3, Forza 4, Zelda:SS, and Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary to that list as well.
On top of that L.A. Noire, InFamous 2, Dead Space 2, Dragon Age 2 (which I liked), Crysis 2 (Yes, I liked this as well), Mortal Kombat, Portal 2, Dungeon Siege III, and Two Worlds 2 (which I think was a good game no matter what popular opinion is) that already came out this year, this is the best year of gaming I can remember in a long time.

blackburn104664d ago

*claps hands* Very cinematic. I think they should definitely make Resistance into a movie

yamzilla4664d ago

story looks freaking sweet, excited for this with the 24" 3d tv!!

does anyone else thing the character models except the old man look terrible?

like very disproportionate and weird!

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

cooperdnizzle683d 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.

Eidolon739d ago

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

Miraak82 739d 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_vulgaris740d ago

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

GoodGuy09740d ago

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

fr0sty739d ago

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

P_Bomb740d ago

Never played Burning Skies but I still have Retribution.

monkey602739d ago

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

porkChop739d 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.

darthv72738d 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_Suzumiya739d 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!

darthv721095d 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.

monkey6021095d 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

darthv721095d ago

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

SullysCigar1096d ago

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

monkey6021095d ago

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

CBaoth1095d 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_Darkness1094d 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_cheese1095d ago

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

BlackIceJoe1096d 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.

Dragonopolis1095d 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

waverider1095d 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.

Jambola121095d ago

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

Chevalier1095d 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.
