"The big reveal of Resistance 2 was a sight to behold on the forums. "Shock and Awe" might be an appropriate catch phrase, though that may be copyrighted for another invasion.
In all the commotion some details got lost in a web of forum excited-ness. Insomniac enlighten us on some misconceptions, in addition to letting us in on some new nuggets of information."
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.
While the studio is best known for Spyro the Dragon, Ratchet, and Clank, and Spider-Man back on the PS3 the studio broke from creating platformers and made one of the highest regarded science-fiction first-person shooters of all time. This was Resistance and it remains one of Sony's most acclaimed and dormant franchises.
Resistance 3's campaign was gorgeous for the time - and an awesome game to boot.
I've said in the past I'd like to see this series return and have it take place years later, like in the present.
I'll give you an example if I'm not mistaken the last game ended in the 50s, so if it was to take place some time in the 2020s you'd have an opportunity to see how the world changed after the fall of Chimera and all the new technology that came out of that war.
Just like in our universe we all know WW2 happened, but we never experienced it, so if the next Resistance game takes place years later so too would people in that universe know a war look place against the Chimera, they just wouldn't know what it really was like.
So getting to see how that universe would respond to the Chimera reemerging would be interesting.
Imagine a little kid talking with his grandfather about the war and the kid just thinks it was just a made up bed time horror story and what was said was worse than what really took place, but now that the Chimera come back the kid will find out why years later the old timer adults were still waiting for the Chimera to return.
I think there is great potential for this series still and I really believe the best way forward for Resistance is make it have a time jump too.
So hopefully this series will return.
I was blown away when i played for the first time Resistance on the PS3. Great Game. Also liked very much an played for hundred of hours the Co-op of R2. The SP campaign of R3 is also excelent. I really hope that Sony and Insomniac annouced the Remaster of the Series and a new chapter. They got story to do that.
Resistance 2 was one of the first few games i played on ps3 and I loved it, would definitely finish that again :D
With Insomniac Games now under the Sony Worldwide Studios umbrella, the studio could bring a new Resistance game to life.
Insomniac didn’t feel all enthusiastic at continuing the series after the third installment
I don’t see how them getting bought out would encourage them to make a fourth game when they could work on another new IP or a sequel to Ratchet & Clank or Spider-Man.
Plus the third game ended on a deserved bittersweet note with a sense of finality against the Chimera. It’d be soul crushing even for this series to make all those sacrifices go to waste
No. let them work on what they want. I loved Resistance, but Insomniac proved they can work on New Ip and are hitting their Prime with the release of Spiderman, so let them work on what they want, and have a smaller 3rd party remake or remaster Resistance, and see if there's an audience for it.
Insomniac should do whatever they want, they deserve every freedom to deliver the game they want.
A top notch,high quality game like Resistance 2 belongs on the PS3,just like Gears Of War(4v4 online matches with UNBELIEVABLE lag)belongs on the Xbox 360,I can't wait to pick up Resistance 2 for my PS3,I had a blast with the first one both online and off,and Insomniac has never failed to impress:)
Is this the first fps that allows 8 player coop? I believe so.
I look forward to this game quite a bit.
I hate when Insominac teases us.
Just release couple trailers already.
if there is one game thats gonna be called quote on quote "the halo killer", this should be it.
again, not to take anything from halo but killzone just shouldnt be called it yet.
now about killzone, do i think killzone will deliver? yes
why? because circumstances are different, sony knows what people like in fps's now, they have internal studios to help them and guerilla studios out(insomniac with resistance 2) and dont tell me that they dont get advice.
people are so quick to bring up killzone 1 not being good BUT................. look at the position sony was in then and look at them now.
b4, sony could half ass that game and not even remember it. now they have something to prove and they made there mistakes but they can be fixed now.
and one last thing, KILLZONE 1'S biggest problems were TECHNICAL ISSUES(the ps2 couldnt handle it) and that was its downfall(and it was pretty much a average shooter)
this time around though, i gurantee you sony will deliver with this one.
