Insomniac Games' thunderous conclusion to its acclaimed first-person shooter series remains an under-appreciated work of art.
I honestly liked the first one most..
killzone 2 and 3 outshined Resistance 2 and 3 for me in every aspect.
I absolutely adored Resistance 3 but they do not NEED to remake this game. They should do something that they enjoy and if it is Resistance then so be it.
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).
Naw man.
Resistance 1 will always be GOATed for me.
I remember playing all night on multiplayer. Such a fun game.
killzone was amazing but resistance was great as well. althpugh theybwrre both fps, I think that served different purposes.
Although I agree on original games and creativity over licensed IP, especially something like Ghost of Tsushima. But Sony's looking at that series selling less and less overall with the 3rd estimated to not even sell 2 million. Gamers who say they loved it didn't really buy it.
While Spiderman the series has sold over 50 million not counting PC. And Spider-Man 2 is over 11 million so far. If you had their business and had to make their decisions, what would you do in their shoes?

Umm, that's exactly my point lol. Insomniac made great, original IP games and people didn't buy them because they were too busy lapping up yearly CODs and Assassin's Creeds, so naturally Sony/Insomniac had to pivot to something else.
So you are saying 1 was the worst?
I respect your opinion but strongly disagree.
I'll start with what I didn't like about 3:
- OK, Nathan Hale is gone but new player character totally forgettable. Can't even remember their name.
- Awful forced in 3D. Just look at KZ3 for 3D done well.
- Online multiplayer that paled in comparison to 1 and 2. Put hundreds of hours into the first two. Probably less than 10 hours into 3.
- Campaign was OK but I played the other two more, especially 1.
1 had my favorite gunplay of the trilogy (no need for COD iron sight) so I guess my worst would be 2. At least 3 wrapped up the storyline, supported the move controller and had prettier graphics. But in my book, none of the three really stood out. From that era, I prefered Singularity for example and obviously Killzone 2.
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.
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.
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.
Resistance 1 MP will always be my favorite. Call it nostalgia or whatever, but that was my jam, felt more balance, natural.
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
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.
Resistance, Warhawk, MAG, Motorstorm, there's so many first party gems on PS3 that Sony has just left to die...
Burning Skies was about 3 hours long and rather inconsequential. You haven't missed anything
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.
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.
I won't knock this reviewers opinion, I respect it but a system seller? Really...
I bought Resistance 3 and after several updates,install issues (hours of downloads and delete attempts for corrupt files) and then another install I finally got to play.
Two days from the point of purchase...two.
All of that for what was a very, very average game. The first hour or so was really cool. But after that, not so much. I took it back to my local Gamestop and picked up something else. I'm much happier with that game.
Resistance 3 is okay but for me, it was another PS3 exclusive that failed to meet expectations. If you're digging it though, more power to you. I'm no hater.
Game on.
This series is struggling to find it's identity. 2 was a let down from 1 but the 8 player co-op was a a sleeper hit amongst fans and they alienated them by removing it for 3! You can't form a player base when you are changing and eliminating features along the way. You end up with an average game and no true fan loyalty. Better luck next time insomniac (unless rumors end up true and the series is handed off to a new developer)
Not sure what your guys are talking about ...but to each his own..right?
I love R3. R2 was amazing with 60the player mp and the 8 player co-op. The story was largely under appropriated.
Back to R3:
Many of you sound like trolls. Its ok to not like the game. However, if you enjoyed R1 and played R2, there is very little chance that you would have a vocal problem with R3.
On its own, R3 is a very very good faux sci-fi FPS (with a slight hint of fear/horror). The game has an incredible amounts of immersion with a subtle touch vulneralbilty (.. you really get a sense of the stakes ants the state of humanity on the brink..)
Its not with out its faults. The 8 player co-op should have made its return.
Although the graphics are much more stylistic, and the atmosphere is very much improved and heavy (good thing), there are parts that could have been more polished.
The game is a legitimate 8.5 - 9.
....but hey that's my opinion, right? (Forgive the typos - I sent this from my phone)
I own both consoles but play most games on my 360. RE3 was one of the games I have been looking forward too this year on my PS3.
I am enjoying it a lot. For me it'as an improvement on RE2, but not as good as RE1.
Great game.
