RA: "Whether you are an industry insider, won a code in a contest, or bought SOCOM 4 back in April, nobody is able to access matchmaking the Resistance 3 beta. Attempts lead to a message saying "undefined," and as of now creating private matches is the only way to play online."
There are some epic PlayStation Plus Premium shooters, from Naughty Dog's Uncharted series to the high-stakes action of Doom published by Bethesda.
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
After getting my beta code in my e-mail this week and attempting to get into 80+ games I finally got to play in one for 3 minutes then black screen that said this game has already ended with a random code after that. Then I try again to get in and I finally get in again only to have it freeze my PS3. Very frustrating. Looks to be fun for the couple minutes I played it though.
Lol. Thank God! I want to play an actual match!!! It's been fun, from what I've played though.
I got my code the first week it was released there was only about 500 or less playing it and from All the full games I played it was sweet as hell espically infectious.The problems started last week which was the third week and the last for most of us.It sucks but it could be worst it could be release date and this happening.At least there working there ass off to give us a good product unlike cough cough COD.It might not be the best MP out there compare to what's to come but very enjoyable and look forward to playing the beta once it's fixed and the release date of Resistance3 can't come soon enough.
Very nice. For those who still wanna play though, you can easily organize a private match on insomniacs facebook wall or on the resistance website. A lot of us have been doing this for a while and works pretty well. EXGN_Itachi is my gamer tag. Add me if you want and when I'm on you can just join one of my private games.
this was the most disappointing beta and clusterfuck in my history of gaming SAD BUT TRUE.
had this thing for 5 days and i have played ONE full match that in that time otherwise playd a couple of private matches. still no excuse for this being what we got from what we were promised...also are they EVER going to fix this invisible glitch?? the other day i played as the chimera and the HUMANS were all using invisibility!!! explain that to me?? lol this game needs serious work and even after pushing back the beta 2 weeks it's still been released in the worst shape of any beta i've played before. i had a much better time with the MOH beta and that was pretty poor too lol but at least it was stable and ppl weren't invisible for entire matches lol.
