PSU was given the unique and rare opportunity to interview Insomniac, creators of the highly successful Resistance: Fall of Man on PlayStation 3, and the brilliant Ratchet & Clank series on PS2. They spoke to the team about its plans for the future, including recently announced Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, exclusively on PS3, and the rumours surrounding a Resistance sequel.
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.
no big loss.
And in that I mean insomniac has better titles that can be working on the resistance.
cause it`s time for the rise of ratchet.
future tools baby.
future tools
Resistance 2 will be great though.
PSU: When should gamers expect to hear more on the next installment of the Resistance franchise?
Ted Price: I've already gotten called out for "confirming" a Resistance: FOM sequel. I've never done that overtly. What I've said is that Resistance: FOM is the first chapter of a bigger story...so for now we'll leave whatever's next shrouded in mystery Smile
Well the "fall of man", is in reference to adam and eve sinning
So I guess their new sequel will be called, "Resistance: The return of Christ"
*edit* nice one :) What I find interesting is "We started production a few months ago"!!...Insomniac are bloody fast...I know they had most of the engine and designs done before...but out by fall! That's fast! And it'll no doubt be amazing. And they say they've improved the engine LOADS...so it's not even really the same engine. Second Gen titles! Bring em on!.
"The PS3 gets people excited about making games, and nothing excites me more than excited people." Another person with the sentiments of Temco..nice.
Still waiting for the "big news" from insomniac...the "most exciting thing they've ever been involved with in their history"...news coming this week!
