Gears of War 3 vs. Resistance - Which is Actually Better (StrengthGamer)

Anthony Accinelli of StrengthGamer writes, "While I'm sure the majority of you read my previous piece, this one is going to be an actual comparison. Yes, believe it or not, that last one wasn't supposed to be taken seriously."

good comparison but no way gears 3 wins in the story department, R3 has a great story and very engaging also.

SonyStyled4977d ago

only if youve played and understood the story from the first 2 resistance games leading up to the third, along with finding all the intell documents with vital story info from all 3 as well. but for most gamers its just not gonna happen so for the majority, geow 3 has a better story

IRetrouk4978d ago

3rd person vs 1st person, hmm dosnt really compute, like say uncharted 3 vs halo 4 or gran turismo vs burnout, two diffrent games. although gameplay wise i would give it to gears, i dont like 1st person shooters.

Number_134978d ago

I doubt a view makes a difference in this case. They are both alien vs human extinction shooters

IRetrouk4977d ago

but its the view that makes all the diffrence, the controls, gameplay, everything is diffrent.

This is like the 100th Gears 3 vs. R3 article.

Gear3 story was common and predicable. Yes even when...
R3, at least 3 times I was shcoked & everyone can relate to a child's vulnerability. Hands down a better story.

Mp....at first gears seems omg da' best! Sure is with bots. But against real people it's a sawed-off douches and bizarre hit detection. Dedicated servers seems to do nothing about me fire full spread gnashed 4 times into a dude only to have him turn and BLAM.. ! Sawed off douche! Lol
Yet the next game it works fine again for me.

It's fun in horde mode though!!!

Resistance 3 is a Classic, 13 Years On

Insomniac Games' thunderous conclusion to its acclaimed first-person shooter series remains an under-appreciated work of art.

Sony needs to remake the trilogy on ps5

CrimsonWing69186d ago

I’d rather them do a new game in the world of Resistance.

Cacabunga186d ago (Edited 186d ago )

I honestly liked the first one most..
killzone 2 and 3 outshined Resistance 2 and 3 for me in every aspect.

Eonjay186d ago

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.

Mr_cheese186d ago

Loved resistance 3, played the whole thing on co op with the move controller and gun, was very different!

Resistance 2 online was the best

gamerz186d ago

Me too, but also on a 3D tv! R3 was one of the few games that got plastic rifle panning motion right.

isarai186d ago

Such a criminally underrated series, id love a remaster collection of the trilogy.

preciousdeath186d ago

Yes! ...and make them PSVR2 compatible.

Pedrof186d ago

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).

pwnmaster3000186d ago

Naw man.
Resistance 1 will always be GOATed for me.
I remember playing all night on multiplayer. Such a fun game.

P_Bomb186d ago

Ah yeah, R1! I cut my teeth on the one-shot Walmart map, lol! Miss that.

gamerz186d ago

Played that demo soooooo many damn times since it was the only thing to play for a while at launch. That and motorstorm.

refocusedman186d ago

killzone was amazing but resistance was great as well. althpugh theybwrre both fps, I think that served different purposes.

JEECE186d ago

Thanks for turning Insomniac into a Marvel studio.

ApocalypseShadow186d ago (Edited 186d ago )

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?

JEECE186d ago

@ApocalypseShadow

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.

Knushwood Butt186d ago

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.

Pedrof186d ago

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.

Gears Of War 3 And Judgement Servers Are Brimming With Life Once Again

Gears of War 3 and Judgement servers have returned to their "updated" condition, adding several features, such as increased XP and more.

I currently play Gears 3 often, especially after the 60 FPS Boost. Gears of War is my favorite gaming franchise, and the Locusts are the coolest faction in history. Gears Judgment will always be a disgrace for not having the Locust in VS multiplayer.

AuraAbjure695d ago (Edited 695d ago )

GoW 3 and Judgement were the last installments before the series went woke and soulless. I'm level 50 in GoW 3 and LOVE it's multiplayer to death. It's just so crispy.
