Insomniac Games has announced not one, but two games at Gamescom. Resistance 3 is described as the company's "Worst. Secret. Ever." The Burbank studio is working on the "cruel and brutal" PS3-exclusive sequel. Based on the logo, it appears that the Chimera are taking the fight to NYC. (Aliens seem to love the place!)
A live action teaser trailer was shown at the PlayStation press conference at Gamescom. We hope to have the video available on the site shortly. Update: Now embedded after the break!
as a brooklynite i have to say GTA4 did a well job capturing the neighborhoods but not the map... it felt like could travel to the bronx, to manhattan and to brooklyn in less then 5 minutes... im not asking for a life size map but the map size was underwhelming
@PR0F3TA Well it could have been a better, longer map if a certain other company had better memory or Blue Ray-disks, possibly not being so pathetic with there crapy mechine. (xbox cough cough)
Bring back the feeling of isolation that the first had, number 2 was nothing special but the original had this great atmosphere that made the game for me. Also weapon wheels.
I nearly yelled at my computer when I read the announcement was for Ratchet, then when I read about the second trailer I started crying and laughing with excitment, good thing I wasn't in a public place eh?
Aha, well I wouldn't want to break my computer, I don't think I could afford to replace a Macbook lol. But if this was some alternate reality where I was rich, let me just say I'd probably would have needed to replace every piece of electronic equipment in my house.
@Grubasaurus Rex Its a good underrated series and the lore is really good. I love the fact it takes place in an alternate timeline where things are stuck in the 50's(could be 60's), but with much more advanced technology. Not to mention the origin of the Chimera and how we are being systematically destroyed to the breaking point only to push back. Its much less steroid infused than Gears, but great non the less. Gears is my favorite series on the 360 since ME is now multi, and I love Resistance just as much as Gears.
I don't even care that New York is overused in everything. I'm just glad to see Resistance 3 has been officially announced. I'm buying this game on day one! I HAVE TO HAVE IT. Hopefully its out in the Spring?
I am not interested in hobbies and or love life of the character or flowers.
It's simple...
i'll whisper it...
ready?
I WANT TO BE INTERESTED in the game as a FPS shooter. The game doesnt provide flowers when i shoot it providers dull grey and boring story. Win me over pleaseee mister game. Win me over.
Another platinum trophy I will enjoy getting.... R2 co-op missions were some of the best yet, I hope R3 will continue with it. Als hope I get in the early beta again too :)
Big surprise, huh? Oh well, it's still coming out. That's the important part. I hope they'll be able to top their Giant Dude Who's Name I Forget. (Leviathan?)
Is everyone forgetting the disappointment that was Resistance 2? Don't get me wrong - I'm not here to troll and spread the hate. Resistance is still one of my favourite single player experiences this generation ... but that's exactly why I was so disappointed with its sequel.
I have faith Insomniac can do something to blow us away though. I'll be there day 1 blowing away Chimera. I'm just going to keep my expectations in check until I can play the game ... or at least see a trailer :P
Damn!!!! I was about timeee!!! yeaahhh baby!!! I sooo loved both games!!!
I just hope this time they include campaing co-op liked they did in the first one, I even wrote to them angry when R2 came out, and they told me they´re gonna take my request for their next project.
@Iron Man I think I would enjoy there not being a main character at all. I see the trailer and it puts me in the role of normal people surviving the chimera. Nobody is safe anymore and people are on the move doing what they can to stay alive while still fighting. I want to play as common people this time around. The chimera have been there long enough and it kinda sets up an uprising/revolution. Reminds me of the first Red Faction and I want R3 in my life right now.
America is lost. Four years after the epic conclusion of Resistance 2, dishonorably discharged Sentinel Joseph Capelli is in hiding from the invading Chimeran menace with a pocket of survivors, including his new wife and young son. But when Dr. Fyodor Malikov arrives with a desperate plan, he sets into motions the events of Resistance 3, the third installment in the popular full-featured first-person shooter series. Resistance 3 is created by critically-acclaimed developer Insomniac Games exclusively for the PlayStation 3 (PS3) system.
Set in a brutal, alternate 1950s universe, America has been successfully conquered and destroyed by the deadly Chimeran race, forcing the last remaining human survivors to seek refuge in hiding. Players must take on the role of Joseph Capelli, the last surviving Sentinel from a clandestine military program, as he comes out of hiding to journey across a land of ruin in a heroic fight for survival against the merciless Chimera. In addition to an epic single-player campaign, Resistance 3 will offer two-player online or split-screen co-op through the single-player campaign, and a new, focused progression-based multiplayer experience.
