Here's the video from Sony's Playstation Keynote at CES 2009. The 30 minute video show's off Resistance Retribution, including the premiere of the story trailer, inFamous, including a ton of gameplay footage, and Killzone 2, with the premiere if the games introductory sequence. A live blog with more details is available back at the source.
Bend Studio: "Since Resistance: Retribution hit the PlayStation Plus Classics Catalog in February, we have been delighted to see so many players experience this Bend Studio classic all over again. During this time, we have been monitoring your feedback to ensure you can enjoy Resistance: Retribution to its fullest on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles. Below, you can view the upcoming patch notes ahead of its release next week."
The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.
Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!
I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.
Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.
resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword
Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2
Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.
There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.
Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence
The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.
Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱
The inFamous games are an important part of PlayStation history, but the series is in limbo and playing older entries isn't exactly easy.
Would like remasters of 1 and 2. I enjoyed them much more than Second Son.
1 & 2 had more of an emphasis on climbing and the traversal requires a bit more effort in a good way. It was rewarding. Second Son made climbing mostly obsolete so they put little effort into it. The traversal was just great in inFamous 1 & 2. There's a reason Sunset Overdrive copied and improved upon the induction grind mechanic.
Reminds me of how I felt about the decline of parkour and the well designed tombs (basically Prince Of Persia levels) that we saw in the Assassin's Creed games.
The story and atmosphere were also much better in 1 & 2.
Electricity is just a brilliant superpower for an open world city. It perfectly fits just like webslinging does in New York and it has many applications.
I enjoyed Second Son but it was too short. The first 2 were great though
Second Son was alright but didn't touch the first two games
It felt short and lacking in comparison
Also I really thought Reggie would have made a better protagonist, someone who is anti-conduit as much as him and ends up becoming one would have been interesting to see. I kind of enjoyed his character throughout the game as his development.
why is it right now, the thing I want the most from Sony is to release remasters of inFamous (1,2 & SS), KZ (1,2 & 3), Resistance (RFoM, 2 and 3) and Motorstorm (1,2 & 3)??
All great choices. I would like to add Warhawk/Starhawk to that. The multiplayer in Warhawk was amazing. I am surprised Sony hasn't looked into MAG either. That game was ahead of its time.
Maybe Sony should make an internal studio like Bluepoint games and all they do is remake/remaster these amazing games, even going back to PS1,PS2,PSP, Vita portfolio. And because of the recent articles suggesting cost cutting, budget issues and releasing more games on PC, they could do that with these remakes/remasters. Do a day one on PC and PS5. At the end of the day Sony or any other company is going to do what makes them the most money.
Wouldn't the onus be on the consumers? If they bought the Infamous games, then we'd have more games from that series.
Infamous has sold millions of units. People have been asking for more. They aren't interested. Just like people have been asking for more Resistance or even a remaster collection, but insomniac isn't revisiting that either. Likely never getting a new sequel since they're a Marvel studio now.
No. Infamous was successful. But after a few entries (which are taking longer to make these days) a lot of Sony studios move on to new IPs. That's not a bad thing at all. They don't need to make inFamous games forever, just like we didn't need new Sly Cooper games forever.
But people would like to be able to easily play them on current hardware which is reasonable. Same for Killzone, Resistance, MGS4, etc. Good games shouldn't be trapped on old hardware. It's good that Bluepoint ported Uncharted 1-3.
I'm not saying it wasn't successful. I enjoyed playing all 3 entries and DLC. But like you said, people move on, studios move on. But I don't think I've heard people asking for more Infamous in a long time.
The franchise was popular we got quite a few games but Suchet punch wanted to beach out I think that's why we got ghost of Tsushima over infamous 4
Tbh ghost is a fantastic game I'm not complaining about that but I'd love to see infamous handled by another team
Id take GoT2 over Infamous right now but after GoT2 or maybe 3 if they go trilogy I’d like a new Infamous.
that's the problem with Sony that puzzles me A LOT! they have studios specifically specialized in remastering and remaking old games for new gen hardware, but we are getting very few of them. SoTC, Uncharted collections, Demon's Souls Remake, TLoU Part 1...and?? that's it? why aren't they giving their old games new lease of life on the PS5 for the new generations of gamers to enjoy? they clearly have the expertise. for god sake, I can even accept lazy porting like Nintendo are doing for theirs if I have to.
There are a lot of games that consumers have been asking Playstation for, Playstation won't do it, so a lot of these developers have gone and made it themselves by any means possible such as Kickstarter (e.g. Armed Fantasia, Penny Blood, Ratatan, 100 Heroes, ect...). Developers have even asked if Sony could help them out with porting/remasters some of these older games for Playstation, they said no.
Um...dude like you say that as if nobody bought them....the devs went on to do ghosts after 3 infamous games....3
People ask for new resistance and new infamous at every moment where it makes sense to mention it.
Having a remake of 1 and 2 would be very welcomed I'm sure.
I would love to see a new game but a feel that would get a response similar to Saints Row.
If they keep any of the characters from the previous games I think it would do fine unlike Saints Row which decided to replace fan favorites with less likable replacements. I wouldn't be surprised if that decision caused a majority of their buyers to be new to the series rather than returning players. I will say though, if Infamous Second Son or the first two Infamous games were remade I would be a day one buyer on PC.
Loved all 3 of them. I couldn't get on with the vampire spin off though. Wish they didn't move away from cole but I didn't mind the other character.
Well, lets go.
Shy developers are shy, Fantastic looking PSP game is fantastic.
Resistance Retribution looks great for a PSP game, not to the degree of GoW:CoO but never the less, impressive. I have never played any of Sony Bend's previous PSP titles due to basically going off Syphon Filter near the end of the PSone.
RR sure looks value for money in every department and will no doubt be joining in my PSP collection, for ages since Infected (the game) and R&C:SM I have been looking for something that satifies my hunger for a really good third person shooter, I have been expecting MDK for ages, but RR looks like the game for me.
Having R2 for PS3 anyway is great as not only do I have A PSP game, I have TWO campaigns on the same game, which is incredible. Seeing I have a PSP-1000, I however will not be able to use Resistance Plus to its full potential, but thats no biggie. I will be buying this and its a really good way to flesh out the ingenious Resistance Universe.
Infamous looks great again, while Prototype seems about complete oblitteration and destruction in a dark 'Crackdown meets Destroy all Humans' fashion, Infamous looks great for its use of platforming in the landscape and I love the fact that the people of the city will react judging by how I behave (which I believe I may have people hating me in one side of the city and the other seeing me as a goodie two shoes and maybe even name a national day after me).
Anyway, the first trailer is a lot better than the second trailer, the first trailer is epic and very comic book-like, whilst the second trailer tries to hard to be 'urban' and I think if this should be advertised on TV a lot, definatly the FIRST trailer as the second one just feels like the soundtrack dampens down the gameplay footage.
Infamous just won in the gameplay legnth catorgory against Prototype (which I am freaking crazy about) and yes, the graphics of Infamous look a lot better in detail, however Prototype looks like mega explosions and fun with some weird Kirby like abilities.
Climbing in Infamous looks brilliant and more impleneted than Crackdown, Infamous will indeed be an excellent sandbox game but I will be eager to play Prototype later during the year.
Killzone 2, I've seen most the footage before last night but Killzone 2 looks amazing and I feel that even Naughty Dog will have problems refining Uncharted 2 due to the graphical intensity coupled with the camera and the colour pallete.
G4TV's footage was awful though, the GameTrailers video was much better and I expect to see that gun footage as an advert and behind a major campaign that gets the attention much like the Halo and Gears TV campaigns got.
However after Killzone 2, I think the PS3 should take a rest from FPS and online shooters and get some child friendly not-dumbed-down titles out.
Sony's first party are excelling in all genres and its plain to see
the PS3 and PSP will have a great year. Something for everyone which is great and I've only seen 3 of the titles for PS3 and PSP lined up early this year, its going to be incredible for PS3 and PSP owners.
What Helghasts look without their helmets? Are they human or alien? Anyone playd the first?
was he driving a mech?
you forgot to bash the ps3, or toss in some hypocritical trash like you always do. heres a headline for you "epic fail CES sony video here!". for once i get an article about ps3 with no BS 360 fanboy strings attached.
Wow. Sony's titles this year are going to rip through the gaming industry..
