Resistance 3 Review - BeingNerdy

"At the end of the day, Resistance 3 is a great title, and a fine addition to PS3 library. But what stood out to us the most was just how exciting it is to play through an environment that invokes unique feelings most games aren’t able to pull off. In summary, Resistance 3′s gritty atmosphere coupled with the rampant action really makes for a thrilling FPS. It kicks off an incredible season of gaming that is coming our way this fall. Exposing you to an extremely tense, bleak and a hopeless environment, Resistance 3 engages you through intricately told story, epic battles, and dramatic cut scenes. This is a must have game for any PS3 owner or a FPS lover, for that matter."

The underdog sites are already chiming in with what seems to be a joy. Way to go Insomniac. I hope the big hitters like IGN, G4, Gamestop and what not give this game a derserving score, cause sadly some people wont buy games unless IGN tells them to.

BulletToothtony4624d ago (Edited 4624d ago )

yeah boy!!

heading to GameStop in about 2 hours!! For the midnight release!!!

Joe Capelli better come thru after what he did! freaking idiot!

jwk944624d ago

it only does everything...minus xgame chat ><. but i'll take exclusives over that....although i still want xgame chat next generation.

Lifendz4624d ago

Really wish I had a job right about now. Good job Insomniac. Can't wait to pick this up. This holiday season is stacked. Too many games!

nycredude4624d ago (Edited 4624d ago )

I got the game early. Been playing Deus Ex and wanted to just look at the beginning and then get back to Deus Ex. Four hours later I am still captivated by the game.

The graphics aren't as good as I expected but after you get past that the game is great. Story, atmosphere, pacing, setopieces, level design, battles are awesome! Just downright so fun to play. You don't want to stop.

omi25p4624d ago

Weekly? If your talking about exclusives its monthly not weekly

GameSPOT. Gamestop would give each game a 10. lol.

Ares844624d ago

IGN will not have mercy on this game. Nor will Eurogamer and a few others. They are known to hate everything Playstation related.

I will reserve judgement on this game until I actually played it. I just hope it's more like R1 and much, much less like R2.

BlindGuardian4624d ago

well, IGN did give Resistance 2 a 9.5 but that was before FoxNews's owner bought them

LOGICWINS4624d ago

LOL, here come the N4G conspiracy theorists.

"He doesn't like a game that I like...there MUST be something fishy going on!"

RedDead4624d ago (Edited 4624d ago )

http://www.metacritic.com/g...

Seriously, just because they don't give the game a perfect score? God only knows how it got perfect 10's. With Fan complaints basically wanting it to change back for R3.

-Alpha4624d ago (Edited 4624d ago )

So, you can't trust IGN or Eurogamer, which have given PS3 games plenty of high scores (just because they give some exclusives on the PS3 lower scores doesn't mean they hate Playstation) but you have nothing to say against a site that has only 3 reviews in its entire history?

If of course this site gave it a low score, it would get bashed for being unreliable. And if IGN and the other big sites rate it high, the conspiracy theory would be forgotten until some of you can use the get-out-of-jail card for another exclusive.

What a convenient system for PS3 exclusives: if it's a low score, the site is biased or unreliable, if it's high, question nothing.

rjdofu4624d ago

@-Alpha: Well, why would they question if the game they like was given high score? It's like asking for a meal and then spitting on it. They're satisfy, of course they will keep their mouth shut until someone dissatisfies them again. That's just how it works for PS3, Xbox or Wii or whatever exclusives.

@Ares84: It's still BS to predict something like this though. This is the first review, doesn't mean much. We have to wait for more reviews and see the trend. If most reviews are positive except IGN or whatever, THEN it's fishy. If it's not (IGN gives good score, or most reviews are not good as expected), then eat your theory.

grailly4624d ago

I think colin moriarty from IGN is reviewing it, and he's a big resistance fan, I'm nearly worried he might overrate the game.

andibandit4624d ago

@Ares84,

hmmm who to believe, reviewers whose work requires them to be objective or silly kids who'd rather face death than believe a game for their console didnt do as well as hoped.

Kurt Russell4624d ago

Way to damage control before they've released their scores guys!

DaTruth4623d ago

Why do you guys concern yourself so much with what fanboys say, to the point where you comment more on fanboys than games!

Do you care what dogs say?

There's no conspiracy; big name sites/magazines hold good review scores hostage for large advertising dollars in their magazines and certain publishers have large ad budgets for their games. Sony is known for not advertising enough!

MonopolyRSV4623d ago

IGN gave it a 9.0. Pretty beast.

seinfan4623d ago

@rjdofu
what the hell? It it isn't like spitting in food. It's like a food critic saying your taste in food sucks. How the hell does that diminish your enjoyment of the product?

We hear all the time from the government that weed will kill you, give you brain damage, make you an unproductive individual, yet it's the most widely used drug in the US (possibly the planet). The criticism of the substance has no bearing whatsoever upon their use of it.

I highly doubt I'll end up not liking R3 so I already preordered the doomsday edition from amazon.

I'm just staying away from most of the comments section to avoid spoilers.

Can't wait.

BlindGuardian4624d ago

the beta was way better than whhat I expected to be, the gameplay appears to be airtight and much faster than the previous games

I really like the idea of a very bleak post apocalyptic environment like the movie The Road, and not like Fallout 3 and New Vegas' "funny" future with smart ass robots and stuff like that, also I love the concept of a "journey" style campaign

on the other hand I'm not so happy with the campaign being shorter than the other games (the developers said that)

ShamefulDispray4624d ago

You now realize this "review" shares absolutely NO new information regarding the game whatsoever. Clearly not a real review, also considering SONY has placed a timestamp on all copies "Do Not Place Review Until XX/XX/XXXX". Great way for the site to get hits though.

gunnerforlife4624d ago

F*** U way 2 many spoilers in this review and straight at the beginning as well :/

jerethdagryphon4623d ago

yet on meta crtic its a lowly 83 :( why do reviewer hate sony

Another great score looks like i'm going to have a blast with it.

Bumpmapping4624d ago

Hell yeah can't wait for tomorrow :)

Holeran4624d ago

Can't wait til midnight where I'm at. I'm picking up my copy and my new Sony headphones in 6 hours at Gamestop.

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

cooperdnizzle675d 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.

Ranking the Resistance Games From Worst To Best

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.

Eidolon731d ago

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

Miraak82 731d 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_vulgaris733d ago

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

GoodGuy09733d ago

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

fr0sty732d ago

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

P_Bomb732d ago

Never played Burning Skies but I still have Retribution.

monkey602732d ago

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

porkChop732d 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.

darthv72731d 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_Suzumiya732d 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.

Jin_Sakai1088d ago

Really wish Insomniac would bring back Resistance!

darthv721088d 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.

monkey6021087d 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

darthv721087d ago

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

SullysCigar1088d ago

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

monkey6021087d ago

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

CBaoth1087d 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_Darkness1087d 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_cheese1087d ago

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

BlackIceJoe1088d 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.

Dragonopolis1087d 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

waverider1087d 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.

Jambola121087d ago

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

Chevalier1087d 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.
