Resistance 3 returns to story based co-op

Resistance 3 will feature full co-op play throughout the campaign with two separate characters to play. You'll play as Capelli or John Harper through a world that's thrust into an ice age following the Chimeran invasions. Though not confirmed, we know both online and local co-op play to be an option. We also wouldn't be surprised to see some extra form of co-op present as well, possibly similar to what Insomniac did for Resistance 2.

Thank god. Whoever thought of 8 player coop should be demoted to de-bugging. Who in the heck puts these guys in charge?

SmokexFFx4952d ago (Edited 4952d ago )

Whats wrong with having both? A campaign co-op and a 8 player bonus co-op like in R2.

Longrod_Von_Hugendon4952d ago (Edited 4952d ago )

Online co-op... nice. :)

raztad4952d ago

While I'm very glad about story coop returning, I'll be sorely missing 8-players coop. It is very fun. It was the very reason I bought R2.

DORMIN4952d ago

Thats both win and fail to me.

I really liked R2 co-op. Possibly one of the most unique co-op experiences this gen.

ABizzel14951d ago

The 8 player co-op in Resistance was great to me, but over time it got repetitive, because everyone knew exactly what was going to happen, and being limited to 2 weapons got old especially as the medic (the medic gun was awesome, but overpowered and that noise it makes is annoying after 100 games).

They need to do something more like Uncharted 2 did with co-op for their 8 player co-op, even if that means dropping it to 4 player co-op.

You watch your mouth, the 8 player co-op was the best part about Resistance 2.

I completely agree dude. I had a blast with the online co-op as a medic.

"...the 8 player co-op was the best part about Resistance 2."

Word-for-word what I was about to say in my reply.

"Resistance 3 will feature full co-op play throughout the campaign with two separate characters to play."

Awesome. I LOVE story co-op in shooter games. I had Resistance 1 and I enjoyed the campaign, but the multiplayer got old really fast for me. I regret selling it because the single player was so awesome. When I pick up Black Ops, ill also pick up a used copy of R2 to get ready for R3.

Carbide74952d ago

No harm in an extra feature buddy, as long as co op is there as well, Why not please everyone?

FACTUAL evidence4952d ago

oh my gawd.....oooh maw gawwwwwwwwwwd.

Anon19744952d ago (Edited 4952d ago )

I really enjoyed the 2 player story co-op from the first game when the second came out. Glad to hear it's coming back. But how about story co-op and the 8 hour extra co-op missions? Is that too much to ask? :)

Good, thats what it should of been in R2.

OhReginald4952d ago (Edited 4952d ago )

Glad they are going this route.

This means their campaign mode will be really epic, and have less scripted events.
I felt R2 was a mess at times. Everything was split up into teams. There was a dev team for the campaign, a dev team for the co-op, and a dev team for the multiplayer versus. It felt very sloppy and very generic. And the fact they removed features from the 1st game that gave resistance an identity. (i.e. weapon wheel)

Resistance 3 is such a great game. One of my all time bests.

cooperdnizzle685d ago

Couldn’t agree more. Still love It as a shooter to this day.

Just something about that game. I really wish they would just do a remaster, don’t even need a remake just bring it up to todays out put, touch up a few things if any, and I am there to buy it day one.

Of course I would love a remake built from the ground up. As long as they treated it like Shadow of the Colossus, or close to those type of remake. Wouldn’t want it to get the RE treatment…. Just because the game is already paced so perfect and hits all the right beats that I wouldn’t touch that aspect.

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.

Eidolon741d ago

Resistance 1 MP will always be my favorite. Call it nostalgia or whatever, but that was my jam, felt more balance, natural.

Miraak82 741d ago

i have the platinium too , 10k kills in online ranked matches was no joke . Took me 3-4 months straight grinding but it was fun . To put it in perspective you only got like 25 kills per match if you were 1st place every match that's at Least 400 matches in 1st

Sciurus_vulgaris742d ago

I only played the 3 main Resistance titles. My ranking would be;
1. Resistance 3
2. Resistance: Fall of Man
3. Resistance 2

GoodGuy09742d ago

Man I loved 3's campaign. Another gem stuck on the ps3 and who knows if insomniac will go back to the franchise.

fr0sty741d ago

Resistance, Warhawk, MAG, Motorstorm, there's so many first party gems on PS3 that Sony has just left to die...

P_Bomb742d ago

Never played Burning Skies but I still have Retribution.

monkey602742d ago

Burning Skies was about 3 hours long and rather inconsequential. You haven't missed anything

porkChop741d ago

Honestly, Burning Skies was shit. There's no two ways about it. At first I thought it looked terrible, then I second guessed myself. Big mistake.

darthv72740d ago

Retribution has this really cool feature where you could use a PS3 to link a controller to it and play. So if you had a 2000 or 3000 hooked to a tv, you can use a real controller. All of this predates the PSP Go's ability to sync a sixaxis to it via bluetooth.

Yui_Suzumiya741d ago

Resistance 3 was shocking and brilliant. Loved it.

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!

darthv721097d 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.

monkey6021097d 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

darthv721097d ago

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

SullysCigar1098d ago

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

monkey6021097d ago

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

CBaoth1097d 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_Darkness1097d 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_cheese1097d ago

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

BlackIceJoe1098d 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.

Dragonopolis1097d 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

waverider1097d 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.

Jambola121097d ago

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

Chevalier1097d 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.
