Resistance: Retribution : The Game Continues to Astound

SCEA had Resistance Retribution on display at this year's CES. Bend Studios has managed to tap into the PSP in a way never seen before. Of course, graphics are one thing - the story of Retribution looks to be quite satisfying, especially for Resistance fans. Resistance: Retribution bridges the gap between the first and second games on PS3, the story looks absolutely nothing short of epic. You'll have to check it out below.

is that a psp or wii game?

Nathaniel_Drake5587d ago

The story alone would make me get this game, Insomniac did a great job fleshing out the story in R1 an R2 leaving cliff hangers and interesting side stories can't wait for this installment

gametheory5587d ago

I expected a lot more from resistance 2. The Narrative fell too short of expectations when compared to the first game; they aimed to correct it but it backfired because instead of adding, they subtracted. Even though the second game is a lot more polished in terms of in-game assets, I enjoyed more the first game because it had much better narrative elements and it was a lot longer, not to mention the chimera was shrowded in mystery. The second game revealed secrets, but the storyline took unsatisfying twists. Maybe I shouldn't have expected anything or made my own R2 ideal storyline in order not to be so disappointed. The game is definitely very good and the guns are better than the first one and so is the tech behind it, unfortunately it fell short of my expectations.

...during Resistance 2 (R2). It made me feel more immersed in the game as though you were the story and not a spectator of it.

I loved the cliff hanger ending in R2 which opens the door to for almost anything to happen in R3.

Doppy5586d ago

In R2 the story didn't fall apart it was told to quick. The doctor gave away everything in one cut scene which sucked. They could have lead us on longer, and provided around 2 - 3 more hours of gameplay had the doctor not told everything.

The story wasn't bad in R2. It's just you were told the whole thing in minutes, then it was time to kill and get ready to die, which sucks because Resistance has one of the most entertaining stories in a FPS.

I think Resistances works best with an narrator that is not Hale, like in the first game. I found that amazingly more interesting.

This will def be easier to play on tv than originally designed. I remenber hooking psp to ps3 to use a ds3. Cumbersome but it worked. Its a good spin off.

MrBaskerville702d ago (Edited 702d ago )

Hope we will get Valkyria Chronicles 2-3 and Carnage Heart at some point. There's a bunch of psp games I never got a chance to play.

monkey602702d ago

Good shout! There's few PSP games I'd care to have on current gen consoles but Valkyria Chronicles is definitely one of them

Aggesan702d ago

VC3 doesn't have an official version in english though. There's a great fan-translation though.

Nineball2112702d ago

*shouting* THEY SAID THE GAME RATING..... oh, nvm.

Hauntedasylum8702d ago

I didn’t know this title existed, so when I saw the headline, I thought a new Resistance was being made. Man I miss that series!

cluclap702d ago

That's because it's the worst in the series. It was good for a psp title though.

darthv72702d ago

Burning skies takes that distinction (worst). This is better than that.

Profchaos701d ago (Edited 701d ago )

It was actually a great game probably above the original they gave the character a personality for one.

Maybe your thinking of burning skies

Why Resistance Was So Incredible

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.

Really wish Insomniac would bring back Resistance!

darthv721082d ago

Agreed. Until they do a new entry, I'd love to get the two portable games remade into console versions. Maybe in a nice compilation with the mainline titles.

monkey6021082d ago

Burning Skies wasn't a great game.
It was only a couple of hours long and there was nothing memorable about it.

I'd love a new entry

darthv721081d ago

^monkey, hence why it should be remade into a better version.

SullysCigar1083d ago

Resistance 3's campaign was gorgeous for the time - and an awesome game to boot.

monkey6021082d ago

I remember being put off by it because McHale wasn't the MC but it turned out to be my favourite campaign

CBaoth1082d ago

by and large though the Resistance IP featured many protagonists (4 altogether I think if you include the portables). One of the reasons I enjoyed it was not being shackled to individual story arcs. Very rare for a major franchise.

Army_of_Darkness1081d ago

My favorite resistance game as well! It seriously had creepy, scary a$$ moments bro! It made me want an action horror game from insomniac!

Mr_cheese1082d ago

Remember playing this through online co op with the move controller and gun attachment! What a game!

BlackIceJoe1082d ago

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.

Dragonopolis1081d ago

Great Idea. I'd play that version.

Resistance was a great game and of all the remasters.... I would play a great remastered version of resistance series as well

waverider1082d ago

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.

Jambola121082d ago

Resistance 2 was one of the first few games i played on ps3 and I loved it, would definitely finish that again :D

Chevalier1082d ago

I loved all the Resistance games. But part 2 online was amazing. The Marksmen for the Spec Ops type class when it was fully upgraded was such an amazing weapon. Oh man I wish they release all the games again and let us play part 2 online again.
