"For the sake of clarity, allow me to say that I love Resistance. From the franchise’s first outing as a PlayStation 3 launch title to the epic sequel that brought conventions of modern shooters into the series, I have always been fascinated with the alternate history that Insomniac Games presented with their foray into the first-person-shooter genre. Fall of Man left a lasting impression on many and not just because it was one of the only good games to play at launch. Nathan Hale’s first adventure featured excellent pacing, impeccable level design, and a variety of situations that tested every one of the unique weapons in his arsenal. That’s why Resistance 2 was in some ways a disappointment, and precisely why I’m so excited for Resistance 3."
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 😱
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.
I feel like this is a recurring theme in the industry. Company makes good game, decides to "modernize" or "streamline" it. F***s up with sequel, then decides to try to go back to more like the original. Why can't we just skip step #2? I don't mind improvements, obviously, but some times there are elements that you just shouldn't change.
Well, in this case I think Sony needed a hardcore modern shooter with extensive multiplayer elements as a killer app for all the PS3 sales they were starting to make at the time. Insomniac has long been OK with innovating in Sony's interests; this time we just lost some of the good stuff too.
Resistance 3 will no doubt be a great game, fall of man was my favourite launch game ever and I still play it to this day
I actually liked 2 a lot and the coop made it a better game than 1 imo. I didnt like the mp much but the SP and CoOP was solid. Still good points made in the article totally forgot about the weapon wheel.
wtf why Resistance 2 hate?
I find alot of people that down on Resistance 2 saying it is crap, I find the experience just as fun as the 1 game to play but some purists fanboys dump on the second one.
