From Multiplayer:
"Multiplayer: So, people read the Game Informer story [about "Resistance 2?]. People don't believe the Game Informer story. Because that's insane amount of content to put into one game. We're talking about a full-fledged campaign, eight player –
Price: Online co-cop.
Multiplayer: A lot of people were thinking "Killzone 2? was going to be the big Sony FPS for the end of '08. This does too. So is this going to be a head-to-head thing? Have you guys gotten any calls from guys in Amsterdam [where the game is being made]?
Price: Actually, we're close to those guys. Our engine director was just over at Guerilla taking a tour. And we've had them in our offices. There's definitely a friendship between the two studios. And we are both interested in making sure there's a separation between the games in terms of theme and gameplay. Where they're both released in relation to each other, I don't know. That's up to Sony marketing. What's cool is that we both feel that same competitive spirit. We're pushing each other, and that's fine. It's a good-natured competitiveness.
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!!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
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 😱
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.
Days Gone director & former Bend Studio dev Jeff Ross says he pitched an open-world Resistance game to Sony; he wasn't interested in a Syphon Filter reboot.
Sony rejected an open world Resistance? Come ON guys. Stop with these timed deals for Deathloop etc and let’s go!
This plus the fact Days Gone hit 9 million has me scratching my head this week. Why so cynical?
As far as Syphon Filter goes, it's a shame that after two generations of leaks and rumors the game was never actually in development. MGS is dead, Splinter Cell might as well be dead from what we've heard. Sony's had a massive opportunity to come in and take over a dormant genre, and they're just dragging their feet. So many opportunities to bring franchises back and they just don't.
I really wish we got more grounded action-crime or action-espionage games, not everything has to be over the top action RPGs and have sci-fi/superhero/fantasy elements.
Especially after seeing that jawdropping Matrix showcase... we can really rival some great action films if done right :O
Shame about Siphon Filter as I believe there is a market for it.
Also, there are some rumors that Sony is working on a new game that mix both Splinter Cell and MGS features.
Let's hope it is true.
Ted is such an honest guy. I think he will be better replacement for Phil Harrison. Hey Sony, buy Insomniac and make this man the head of SCEWW. He will push things further than Phil could have ever imagined.
Oh, and it will all be lag free. Also, this game is so full of win. Good to see that Insomniac and Guerilla are on good terms. Hope people will finally shut up about that whole Killzone 2 vs Resistance crap.
"With multiplayer we saw an opportunity to up the game to 60 players with not a whole lot of pain on our end. The challenge for us is not technical at this point. It’s design. We’ve got to make sure that when you’re in a 60-player game it doesn’t feel like unmitigated chaos. So we’ve been spending a lot of time analyzing and trying out different techniques to make sure you know what you’re doing, even though you’re in this massive battle, and it’s working. And it’s fun."
Done deal. I believe him too. Insomniac has always focused on the right stuff. It looks as though R2 wont be any different. They know what the problems are with such large MP battles and they look as though they are tackling them.
Its kind of funny when you see the high up guys.....I really doubt any of them actually "play" games. I would like to see a game developer take over a spot like Phil's at Sony.
I am buying both games. And that is THAT! (emphasis on the "T")
They foster such great relationships with their developers, and between them as well. They also have the developers share and research a LOT of technologies, namely Insomniac, Naughty Dog, Evolution Studios, London Studios, and Guerilla.
