PlayTM writes: " Having survived and successfully defeated the Chimeran assault on Europe, unlikely hero Nathan Hale probably deserves something of holiday, instead, he's been nabbed by a team of Black Ops soldiers patrolling over London - and is quickly subdued and transported to a secret location in Iceland. Let's just hope Hale bought Dollars at the Bureaux de Change...
At the outset of Insomniac's new opus, America is preparing for the inevitable invasion attempt, the military gathering together an elite force, staffed entirely by combatants with partial resistance to the Chimera virus. Hale is not alone, and is quickly drafted into 'The Sentinels', ready to be thrown into the thick of mankind's struggle for survival."
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.
decent score.....now bring on the Gamespot review already...^_^
Only reviewer I trust is IGN.
If a game is bad they show it. If it's good they show it.
Confirmed 86 / 100 FLOP not interested in the game anymore.
its sad that alot of people base the reviews on their own decision making of that particular game .
example,HAZE,wut would of hapened if it got 8's-9's of ratings? alot of peeps would of gone out and bought it,maybe end up not liking it or returning it,but non the less would of bought it hence the great reviews (i accually liked the game).
these sites are flooding consumers minds with biasizm.
these sites know that their reputation is terrible (or at least most of em do) and yet they still strive to keep the fire going between the console junkies.
and EVERYONE should know not to pay any attention to metacritic by now,if not.... then thats your own d@mn feuneral.
10-1 says the scores are based of hype and not ACUALL playing,some reviewers probably havnt even played resistance 1 or 2 or even gears 1 or 2 but yet decide to rate it based on the console junkie's hype.
the most perfect PROOF of such a thing would be the overrated and overhyped GTA4. no more left to say about that one. that was a kamikaze on gaming sites around.
IMO if your gunna rate a game publically for consumers to see,then i would suggest rating it AFTER the release so it makes them look less biased. (but not a cure).
they dont really say anything bad about the game, but they do say it wont take the mp crown from cod4
imo opinion i like the multiplayer better then cod4, after the beta finished and im waiting to buy r2, i simply cant go back to playing cod4 =(
so im trying to fill up my time killing zombies in cs source =)
