Yeah but then "surprising" word that Geoff put in is misleading. Resistance 3 is in no way surprising sequel.
But it won't be first time of him doing that. He tends to overhype anything. If it was new Pong he would be all crazy over it.

SupaPlaya5168d ago

am I the only one hoping for Heavenly Sword 2?

Imagine HS2 using GOWIII/KZ2/ND engine...

mabreu5168d ago

Sony needs a FPS to compete with Halo:Reach.

iFLOWLIKEWATER5168d ago

I prefer the atmosphere of the first one.

SupaPlaya5168d ago

I agree. Let's hope R3 bring back the same great feel, with the great R2 CO-OP, Uncharted polish...

ABizzel15168d ago (Edited 5168d ago )

@1.5

That's all they need to do. Have the feeling and weapon wheel of R1, with all the great multiplayer features of R2. I hope they bring the vehicles back, as well as plenty of the old Chimera, as well as new ones.

I wish I could have helped make R3 it would have been dope.

anh_duong5168d ago

see silhouette of new yoork in wrting?? this is the final setting for r3

pangitkqb5168d ago

I loved both the previous installments (feel/atmosphere of the first and co-op of the 2nd) and can't wait for the newest installment. Insomniac is a fantastic dev and I can't wait to see where the story goes post Nathan Hale.

Biggest5168d ago

I'm glad that I am not the only one that preferred R1 to R2.

exnihilonihilfit5168d ago

This wouldn't be a surprise at all, it would be a very obvious fact. I'm looking forward to this game, but if this is the surprise, I'll be disappointed only because everyone already knew this game was coming out this year. I was under the impression that the surprise would be a first party game, Insomniac is second party. Also, this rumor says that R3 is to be announced Friday, but Geoff said that the other surprise would be revealed Thursday. I wouldn't be surprised if Sony actually leaked this information intentionally to distract people so that when the reveal Sly 4 or Syphon Filter or Twisted Metal on thursday, everyone will be blown away.

sikbeta5168d ago

R3 ala FOM Style = EPIC

But, really this is not surprising at all, don't get me Wrong, Loved R:FOM & liked R2, so a sequel is just Obvious

Gaming FTW!!!

Commander TK5168d ago

r hands down the best developer this gen

cmrbe5168d ago

Honestly i don't know how they could make HS2 with the way it ended in HS1. Perhaps go back in the beginning?.

What i want SM to do is take on another GOD mythology. The Norse GOD mythology was talked about.

UnwanteDreamz5168d ago

I honestly couldn't play another shooter competitivly online right now. I am going to make BFBC2 last but I wont be missing R3 for anything. I wonder where the story will pick up and who the new main character will be

R2 took so much of my time with the awesome coop they had. I hope all of the crybabies do not make them take coop missions away.

I hope they add splitscreen to the campaign and take away the stupid autoaim.

R3 will be the FPS to take me away from mag.

Ravage275168d ago

I'm looking forward to new classes,enemy classes and element of randomness in coop missions.

Sony is really pampering us right now :)

hatchimatchi5168d ago

Resistance 2 co-op is freaking awesome. It's the only game I play online.

Were people really complaining about it? How lame, only thing I wanna see changed with the co-op is better AI.

I can't wait to see what Insomniac does with R3.

raztad5168d ago

I need to agree with all of you guys. I just bought R2 last December. I enjoyed the main story a lot more than expected (after the awful comments I read here) but the coop alone make the game worthy.

R3 is long overdue an announcement. I hope to see the new footage. Here is hoping Kz2 level (at least) visuals.

spunnups5168d ago

Resistance:FOM was my first ever console online experience other than Madden. That first battle in Manchester in that huge cathedral was an absolutely jaw dropping experience.

Resistance 2 had one of the best coop campaign modes I have ever witnessed. The competitive multiplayer, while good (Earned a Platinum), didn't have the same awesomeness that the first one had. I also hope that R3's 1P campaign isn't as "Staged". The Levathian boss fight was pretty cool, but too staged, and too easy. I'd also like to see it extended.

Resistance one of my new favorite IP's and I cannot wait to see what Insomniac decides to do with the franchise.

Al Bundy5168d ago (Edited 5168d ago )

Bubbles for everybody. R2 co-op is awesome. The only thing that keeps me coming back.

plz INSOM. make the multiplayer fun and challenge like R1
R2 WAS GARBAGE ONLINE

Lucreto5168d ago

I liked R2 online.

What did you hate about it?

hatchimatchi5168d ago

What are you talking about?

The online is awesome. The co-op is so much fun.

BeaArthur5168d ago

R2 was far better online than R1.

Marceles5168d ago

The online was awesome in R2, but I liked R1's story and campaign better

Pennywise5168d ago

I didn't like R1 online.

R2 coop was great.

DarthTigra 5168d ago

I'm the same way as you. Loved R1 online but hated R2 online. Could never get into it. R1 was the best online game for the PS3 imo. Playing in the Manchester Cathedral was awesome. The general consensus for people I've talked to is that the people that loved R1 hated R2 and vice versa (as seen above). Anyone that played both games will tell you that the game-play for both games was extremely different. And that is what is Resistance two's downfall and at the same time what made it great for alot of people.

TooTall195168d ago

Plus it has online split-screen! An important feature most developers forget.

There is no other shooter that is as satisfying as ripping apart the chimera with a full clip. Resistance is a true horror. You will have cold sweats and short breaths on the single player.

Co-Op was amazing and one of the best online games to play with your friends. Competitive, wasnt as good as it could be. Skirmish was like " attack the beacon! Defend the beacon! Attack the Beacon! Defend the beacon!" UgH!

Custom competitive games are where its at.

sedx5168d ago

R3 with a new engine............

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

cooperdnizzle668d 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.

Eidolon724d ago

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

Miraak82 724d 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_vulgaris726d ago

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

GoodGuy09726d ago

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

fr0sty725d ago

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

P_Bomb725d ago

Never played Burning Skies but I still have Retribution.

monkey602725d ago

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

porkChop725d 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.

darthv72724d 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_Suzumiya725d 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!

darthv721081d 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.

monkey6021080d 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

darthv721080d ago

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

SullysCigar1081d ago

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

monkey6021080d ago

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

CBaoth1080d 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_Darkness1080d 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_cheese1080d ago

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

BlackIceJoe1081d 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.

Dragonopolis1080d 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

waverider1080d 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.

Jambola121080d ago

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

Chevalier1080d 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.
