and love it, the infected and PS3 plus modes are awesome.

The visuals are stunning on the PSP screen but there is a step down in quality when playing on my XBR5 as with all PSP games.

The story feels deep so far, the opening with James’ brother was crazy, I just wish I got to push the button/ pull the trigger.

The new enemies and weapons are welcome and very well done. Loving the Razors secondary fire.

All of this and it feels just like its big brothers on the PS3, well more so like the first one. Great job Bend Studio.

If the quality of this game is an indication of the PSP’s line up this year, my PSP will be getting alot of use.

about 4 days ago. I actually just traded my DS lite in today and picked up a PSP 3000. Can't wait to try this game out because it looks really good.

40cal5546d ago

Yeah I know what you mean, I had 2 DS lites at one point in time (won them both from Nintendo for sales contests) traded them both in after Mario Kart.

Haven't looked back.

Monty_The_Great5546d ago

Its weird because I used to have a PSP back when they first came out and there were basically no games that I wanted to play. So I traded it in and got a DS Lite, got super mario, metroid, and some brain games. Had a great time with them, but after those games i really just lost all interest. Then Chains of Olympus came out and Liberation and I almost got a PSP again for them. Never really bothered, but then just they other day my buddy said he had a PSP and wanted a DS, so we traded them because i needed some serious portable gaming games. which while the DS is very fun, i find no serious games. So i find myself trying the PSP again.

This year has already seen some big games announced with Resistance today. Then Assassins Creed, Motorstorm, Little Big Planet, and Rock Band all this year. Oh, I almost forgot about Duke Nukem for PSP.

I am sure we will see other titles coming as well, I know I'm still looking forward to FFXIII Agito, and Dissidia.

Monty_The_Great5546d ago

What other games might you suggest? I am pretty much already going to get GTA:VCS and maybe FF&:Crisis Core. Anything else you might think of that is good? I like games that are more on the serious side and, I don't really know why, but don't have a female as the main character.

40cal5546d ago

Both of the Syphon Filter games are excellent, and you definitely need to get Crisis Core.

Metal Gear Portable Ops (A must buy) Manhunt 2, Silent Hill Organs, MLB: The Show, Patapon, Loco Roco, Smack Down vs Raw, Tekken, Super Stardust, Pursuit Force, and Castlevania the Dracula X Chronicles are all games that I have enjoyed alot.

There are also tons of good RPG's. And the PS store has alot of great content also, check out Echochrome.

Resistance: Retribution rated for PS5, PS4 in Korea

The Game Rating and Administration Committee of Korea has rated Resistance: Retribution for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, suggesting the PSP title will join the PlayStation Plus Classics Catalog.

darthv72729d ago (Edited 729d ago )

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.

MrBaskerville729d ago (Edited 729d 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.

monkey602728d 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

Aggesan728d ago

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

Nineball2112728d ago

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

Hauntedasylum8729d 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!

cluclap728d ago

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

darthv72728d ago

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

Profchaos728d ago (Edited 728d 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!

darthv721108d 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.

monkey6021108d 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

darthv721108d ago

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

SullysCigar1109d ago

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

monkey6021108d ago

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

CBaoth1108d 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_Darkness1107d 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_cheese1108d ago

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

BlackIceJoe1109d 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.

Dragonopolis1108d 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

waverider1108d 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.

Jambola121108d ago

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

Chevalier1108d 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.
