There's no way it won't come back at some point in the future, but sounds like it will be a different dev behind it. I'm ok with that, Resistance always felt paper-thin as an FPS under Insomniac.

trouble_bubble2125d ago (Edited 2125d ago )

Paper thin? Hell no. How many paper thin shooters hit 86% and 87% on metacritic? Lest we forget the paper cuts of Duke Nukem Forever, Star Wars Battlefront 2, Homefront: the revolution, 007 Legends, Haze, Medal of Honor Warfighter, Rogue Warrior

I loved Resistance 3 and I really hope we get a part 4 or just another one. They really found their pacing with Resistance 3. Its easily one of the best games.

b163o12125d ago

Yeah, I loved Resistance as well, when I first got on there MP with 64 players, I logged out of the world for 12hrs str8. I was disappointed when they stopped making them. Maybe we'll see another when the PS5 comes out, or at least a remastered version...

darthv722125d ago

I always figured the story ended with 3 and that a new story began with Burning Skies but then that fire burned out.

NewMonday2125d ago

Resistance had great fun FPS gameplay but weak story and character concepts, this was the same problem for Kilzone. both were actually great FPS games but the characters and the world didn't pull you.

it's like the reverse problem of the Order, that game had an interesting concept an a good script but the gameplay was below average.

Sony need to give all these 3 games another chance and fix the bad aspect.

i wouldn't mind seeing what GG could do with this game. probably will never happen though.

LucasRuinedChildhood2125d ago

If they don't make a sequel, they need to at least do some form of remaster. It particularly annoys me that Resistance 3 doesn't work with the PS4 gamepad on PS3. I don't have good enough internet for PS Now.

Notellin2125d ago

Man Resistance was fantastic. It was a breath of fresh air in the shooter genre at the time. Definitely not paper-thin.

Wallstreet372125d ago

Resistance 3 campaign was one of the best campaigns in an FPS i ever played. Solid all around.

Michiel19892124d ago

I wouldnt mind Guerilla making Resistance 4

Neonridr2125d ago

considering each newer version sold less than the previous one, no surprise these guys aren't eager to jump back into that universe. Their talents are clearly elsewhere right now.

oasdada2125d ago

Id really prefer a less arcady and more moody resistance game preferably made my guerilla, ready ar dawn or a new studio

-Foxtrot2125d ago (Edited 2125d ago )

I know people are going to disagree to death but honestly with the ending of the third game it came to a nice close story wise. I don't think they could really do a 4th game without spoiling the peaceful ending we were given.

Killzone tried to come back after the nice ending of Killzone 3 and it just felt a tad forced, although that could be more about whatever writer Guerilla Games chose for the project, obviously the same can't be said for Insomniac but you never know. It even happened to Gears of War 4, yeah it was an okay game but to close the third game on a nice high note where they've finally won the war and get their peace it always comes off as grasping for straws when shit hits the fan again.

I think they need a reboot further down the line or what I'd love to see a reboot-remake like what they did with Ratchet and Clank.

Remake Resistance Fall of Man
Add/Expand the game
Make Nathan Hale a better developed character
Then make Resistance Fall of Man II
Virus plot is toned down
Nathan Hale doesn't die
The game keeps the same themes and elements of the first game
BAM...new timeline
Resistance Fall of Man III ends with Nathan being taken to their home world.

Fist4achin2125d ago

I like your thinking. They could do a simultaneous storyline somewhere else and run with a new set of characters

Thomaticus2125d ago

They could turn it into an open world third person metroidvania type game.

Skankinruby2125d ago

They could go the god of war route and reboot it from scratch. I think it could be an excellent game with the right direction

Master of Unlocking2125d ago

God of War PS4 is not a reboot though, it's a sequel.

paintedgamer19842125d ago

Resistance fall of man was such an amazing experience. I think it was a launch ps3 game too wasnt it? Just freaking superb... never understood why they didnt just keep making fom games.

Asuka2125d ago

it was such a good game. The multiplayer was amazing as well. it was like 40 player matches and little latency for the most part. the weapons, and the grenades... literal room clearing grenades XD. Then R2's coop missions with progression systems for your classes... the games where literally ahead of their time.

darren_poolies2125d ago

Yep, FOM is still one of my favorite fps games ever. The single player and multiplayer were both incredible. It's actually the game that go me into fps multiplayer, such fond memories on the Manchester Cathedral map! I wish the series was more successful than it ended up, I would snap up a remake or sequel in a heartbeat.

jukins2124d ago

yea it was an amazing launch experience. a pretty game tons of enemies and fun weapons too. the story was good up until the end. felt like they ran out of time and threw the ending together to meet deadlines. but the multiplayer 30vs30 the gameplay held up and was amazing and its what sony is missing right now in its library a an fps with long lasting multiplayer

Asuka2125d ago (Edited 2125d ago )

i very much agree. in the case of Killzone 3 / Shadowfall, Killzone 3 did have that extended scene at the end that wasn't ever explored, correct? The could lead into a potential true sequel, or i could be wrong altogether =p. Shadowfall felt like a "technical" demo of what the ps4 was capable of for the time, and also was a practical exercise for their new Decima Engine to be used in future projects (e.g. HZD). I also believe GG has said Shadowfall was essentially their "fallback" in the event that HZD wasn't as successful (which clearly we know otherwise lol)**.

But more OT:
I really like your idea for a reboot. I always enjoyed the original trilogy, and tbh a reboot feels right for the time. I hope it eventually gets picked back up. Btw, this is how i feel about KZ as well. I feel KZ could use a reboot as opposed to a direct sequel of KZ3.

**noClip interview @GG studios was where i got that info btw.

bellome2125d ago

Shut up and take my money!

sinspirit2124d ago

I'd love a new Resistance.

Resistance is also an alternate history storyline. It would totally be exciting to see an alternate history of this games own alternate history.

I really want Insomniac and Guerilla to collaborate on an online oriented game with the inclusion of a co-op/horde multiplayer mode as well.

If Spiderman takes off and it most likely will Insomniac will solely be the Spiderman Devs for a while.

paintedgamer19842125d ago (Edited 2125d ago )

I hope if extremely successful we see insomniac make other games in the dc universe than just spiderman. I read an article the other week that sony may spearhead others in the genre as well. Which would be amazing.

PhantomS422125d ago

Please, Sony just do it. There is such demand. Put out a Resistance Trilogy on PS4 and watch the money rain in.

badz1492125d ago

yup resistance trilogy on the PS4 will be lit! but knowing Sony, doing the trilogy while skipping the MP portion will be a thing like they did with the Uncharted collection. Resistance without MP is pretty meh...

princejb1342125d ago

wheres the demand? Each sequel sold less than the previous.

PhantomS422125d ago

You clearly aren't looking hard enough because I've seen tons of people asking Sony to bring these series back.

princejb1342125d ago

maybe in the online community which is very small compared to the casual everyday players. Like i said sales showed differently.
just a quick google search https://www.eurogamer.net/a...

jaycptza2125d ago

@PhantomS42 a few people asking is not enough prove demand.

CDPR say Witcher 4 will be different from Witcher 3: "We don't want to be stuck in the same spot"

The next Witcher game will still be an RPG but players can expect new things as CD Projekt Red want to push boundaries and discover new ways of storytelling.

Terry_B12h ago

Each of the 3 existing Witcher games is pretty different from each other..

Kaii11h ago

My only issue with 3 was with the combat

helicoptergirl11h ago

Bethesda seems like a studio that is "stuck in the same spot". Development wise. Glad CDPR are wary of that element in game design.

This can either go very well or very badly. I hope the latter.

[Exclusive] Xbox Reaches Agreement With Batman: Arkham Trilogy Creators For A New AAA Game

Ex-Rocksteady directors' Hundred Star is collaborating with Xbox Game Studios Publishing for its first-ever AAA game.

Lightning7710h ago(Edited 10h ago)

Highly doubt it'll be an actual Batman game that IP belongs to WB Games along with other DC property.

They're making an action adventure game. IMO I think it needs to be another Marvel game despite MS already have Blade as that action Marvel game. Dead Pool? Punisher?

Realistically it'll probably be a new IP entirely.

The_Hooligan8h ago

I agree with you. I think I'll be a brand new IP. Now it could be a superhero themed, kind of like infamous. Speaking of which, Suckerpunch needs to make one after Ghost 2.

neutralgamer19928h ago

would love a infamous collection for ps5/pc

Lightning778h ago

I definitely think it'll be super hero themed game 100%. Something MS needs in their portfolio.

ThinkThink6h ago

Please, no more super hero games.

PhillyDonJawn5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Dead Pool or Punisher would be amazing!!!
Don't tease me like that man lol. I see them making a new IP that's like an arkham knight clone

Dirty_Lemons1h ago

I loved the old Punisher game back in the day. Those executions never got old.

porkChop50m ago

I don't think it needs to be Marvel. It needs to be a totally new IP. That's what Rocksteady should have done after Arkham City. They've pigeonholed themselves as DC devs.

MIDGETonSTILTS178h ago(Edited 8h ago)

I hope these devs needed support to start/finish (like Stalker 2), vs are basically done with the game but wanted to secure an exclusivity-bonus because they know Xbox needs a system seller (like Titanfall).

It’s a bit strange that they’d rather invest in this game than Tangoworks’ TWO canceled projects; or just trust a single dev from their existing massive stable of talent to emerge with a system-seller themselves anytime soon.

Either way, it is just cool that we’ll likely get a new IP from the geniuses behind the Arkham Trilogy. I wonder how creative they’ll get now that they aren’t married to an established franchise.

darthv728h ago

This is about the former co-founders of Rocksteady and their new studio. So naturally it makes people think its Batman related with the way its worded, even though its not.

-Foxtrot8h ago

Exclusive? Sure

This year alone Microsoft has changed their plans so much with Xbox regarding multiplatform releases as they step closer to just being a full blown third party publisher and it's only been 4-5 months, imagine where we'll be once this game is finished. It will be a completely different landscape.

ThinkThink5h ago

I don't think MS will ever go completely full 3rd party with all of their games. I can see them looking towards expanding their own mobile store and moving into Mac as ways of expanding. I'm sure ms will bring more exclusives over to ps and nintendo, but I don't think it'll be as many games as you think it will. I hope I'm wrong.

Lightning775h ago

The ever contradictions thoughts and actions of MS definitely says otherwise MS changed up so much on the past 6 months of the year I lost count.

Though I'm more declined to believe they also won't go full 3rd party also.

But.

This year they're having Renaissance a super bowl of gaming with Gamepass this year. BO6, older ABK games, Avowed, Indy and other 3rd party exclusives all to grow and expand gamepass. If these games don't grow the service or grow only a little bit. Then you can fully expect MS to hit the red button and put everything everywhere. Satya will have full Xbox take over doing what he wants from that point on next year.

It's up to Xbox to advertise these games and gamepass in the next 6 months or so get the word out.

Profchaos4h ago

The more the news evolves the more I'm inclined to believe we will see MS embrace full third party status but not call it third party in their word soup ways.

It will be Xbox everywhere plays best on a Xbox.

Next gen Xbox is rumoured to be a reference design similar to the 3d0 where any company can make and sell it.

If you're offloading hardware costs to a third party yet still profiting from the games then you've cut out losses on the hardware you still have a store front that users can use and still make a 30 percent cut on that.

Your games sell for a profit on PS and Nintendo platforms and on Xbox reference hardware along with PC

You lose .kney on DLC and games sold on a competitor storefront they are seemingly already comfortable with this.

The ms bean counters are coming for the ROI that was promised they don't care if they kill the brand as it stands Xbox was never a profitable business it was always just done for reputation

PhillyDonJawn4h ago

@Lightning the would end the console then. No one would buy Xbox over PS at that point cause now you get both with just a PS. If GP flop for them, Logically, rolling back on GP would be the smarter than to do. No more day 1 title. Less quality titles. They'd lose subs but people would go back to buying the games.

Lightning773h ago

@Philly They could scale back gamepass put Indies only, AAA 1st party games coming 4 to 6 months from release. The thing is MS will have to tell their fans to buy their games again and that's gonna take years and years to condition them to buy games again. MS will lose money from that also. They'll lose out on gamepass revenue, lose out on games sales because their fans don't buy as many games anymore.

I can't see them scaling back or axing gamepass it does make them allot of money, they just want more money from it. They're not gonna condition their fans to start buying games either.

As I said they'll go full 3rd party and yes you ate right, if they do that then there would be no reason to buy the next Xbox. I know j won't be, you better hope the next 6 months they advertise the games and GP there little hearts out because this could be it.

Spawn (as well as master chief) are the only characters I associate with Xbox. Are there more I can’t remember?

rlow16h ago

Gears is another big game one.

purple1016h ago

Yeh big game, do you know the name of the lead character. Or team of lead characters. I don’t

rlow16h ago

Marcus, Dom, Cole Train. And I can’t remember the fourth.

Profchaos4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

Also the chick from gears 5 seems to pop up on all their modern advertising I can't remember her name either.

Cars also feature heavily in a Xbox ad it's always master chief front and centre with cars and maybe a gears character hanging around

Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica Remakes are reportedly in the works, not Resident Evil 1

Industry insider Dusk Golem reveals that there is no Resident Evil 1 Remake in the works. Instead, Capcom are reportedly in active development of Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica.

-Foxtrot1d 15h ago

RE Zero would be better to do first over RE1 because they can tie the story into RE1 more.

The original RE Remake was weird because Rebecca never mentioned anything about what happened in Zero and it felt so disjointed because Zero was developed during the Remake and they clearly didn't share any notes with one another.

Cacabunga14h ago

Wise decision. 2 of my favorites!

repsahj2h ago

RE Zero is one of my favorite game on gamecube!

Knightofelemia1d 13h ago

Give me Dino Crisis dammit Capcom

LOL! A phone call from you? ROFL! They have been remaking RE games for YEARS! It was a matter of time!
