Insomniac’s James Stevenson shares new details about the game’s extra development time and graphics engine.
Insomniac Games' thunderous conclusion to its acclaimed first-person shooter series remains an under-appreciated work of art.
Not a classic in my opinion ; a pretty mediocre PS3 shooter as far as I'm concerned, not bad, not the worst of the trilogy, but certainly not great. Killzone 2 was miles ahead of it (and of most FPSs even today as far as I'm concerned).
I wish they'd bring back the Resistance 2 multiplayer. God that co-op was so much fun.
There are some epic PlayStation Plus Premium shooters, from Naughty Dog's Uncharted series to the high-stakes action of Doom published by Bethesda.
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.
I am very impressed with Resistance 3's graphics this time around. Not quite Killzone 3 quality, but close. Gameplay wise this game blows the doors off KZ3 and KZ2 for that matter.
They're good if you ignore the absolutely horrendous frame rates.
The storms were captured so well in this game. I found myself just looking at all the cool weather effects from time to time. TBH, the snow in the first game was beautiful, so I was glad to see it return in more ways than one. Very atmospheric and enjoyable game overall.
I have yet to hear anything good about R3's graphics, only complaints. I'd think that I was being trolled by 360 fanboys, but they're legit PS3 gamers doing the complaining.
I have to admit they really pulled off the sci fi environment a lot better than everything I have seen/played/read in the past few years, really breathtaking!
