Resistance: Fall of Man Review by 1up

The second official review of Resistance you've all been waiting for.

THAMMER17004d ago

Well what is there to say?

Munky7004d ago (Edited 7004d ago )

I see 8.5, am I blind? Looks like a fun game, but nothing ground breaking. From all the reviews I have read the singleplayer wraps up in roughly 11 hours(some say 10 hours some say 12 hours), the multiplayer is where this game has it lasting appeal. Guns are awesome which is to be expected, AI is a let down, which is not to be expected. One really cool thing is that once you kill a enemy their bodies don't disappear...ever! So overall a great launch title, something to keep PS3 owners happy till the heavy hitters are released.

kmis877004d ago

Where'd the 6.7 come from? Is that the CoD3 score you're thinking of? They gave CoD3 a 6.5 for some reason.

eques judicii7004d ago

its the reader score, not the reviewer score... calm down

lalaland7003d ago (Edited 7003d ago )

R:FoM was compared to COD3, yet the 1UP official review score of COD3 for X360 is actually 6.5...

Yeah where did 6.7 come from, a 8.5 for a launch title that's not a port is pretty damn good, you're all lucky your getting a good game right off the bat. Although I will say I wonder if and this is not being a "fanboy" if the hype/new standards that GOW set might of lowered the score for this game a bit? I wonder if the 360 was out this christmas with last years launch titles if this game would have scored closer to a 9 or better?

kmis877004d ago

In the last 1up show they actually talk about how games are probably going to get lower scores for a while because of how impressive Gears was, even if that is unfair to the games that aren't in the same genre.

PS360PCROCKS7004d ago

Oh well than that makes perfect sense, IGN said the same thing about GOW in the video review of COD3, but GOW and Epic deserve that distinction for doing such a great job

power of Green 7004d ago (Edited 7004d ago )

In the IGN review i said RFOM got a half a point more than i thought it would.

DJ7004d ago

maybe i'm just seeing things. 8.5 and 9.1 Things are looking good for the PS3's killer launch title.

Antan7004d ago (Edited 7004d ago )

i don`t think its a killer title DJ tbh. It looks really good though, much better than say COD3 which i think is really overrated (expected as Infinity Ward were not doing it). Im sure the reviews will say RFOM is the better fps also. Im really disapointed in COD3, its very very claustrophobic, really hemmed in, and the a.i is pretty weak, But i will continue to plod on through the game. Resistance should do pretty well when it hits the states.

xboxlj7003d ago

I guess you would also consider Perfect Dark Zero a Killer Launch title as well?

DJ7003d ago

how that game got perfect 10's and 9.5's is beyond me. At most it deserved a 6 or 7.

andy capps7003d ago

8.5 from 1up and from that editor in particular is like a mid to high 9 from any other site. Not a bad review, wish that 1up did video reviews though.

It’s Time for Sony to Bring Back Killzone and Resistance

Sony is in the middle of an FPS crisis, but bringing back two much-loved PlayStation shooters could easily be the solution.

shinoff2183590d ago

I'd rather them focus on a rpg. Shooters can wait

just_looken590d ago

We have alot of rpg's but only cod for a AAA first person shooter unless you toss in xdefient but that is still fixing 2yr old beta issues.

We need more AAA fps games then rpg's

shinoff2183590d ago

Yea right. Theirs so many shooters on the market.

just_looken589d ago

@shin

Name 3 AAA fps games coming out this year

Cacabunga589d ago

I want Killzone yea, but as a gaas no buy!

Cacabunga589d ago

Yes we need some new FPS experiences.. COD is just not engaging enough. We want a Killzone back to the roots, not a Shadow Fall again..

Crows90590d ago

There's tons of RPG in the market too...what's your point exactly.

RaidenBlack589d ago

No Killzone or Resistance or Factions for you ... only Concord & FairGame$

Ironmike590d ago

No more rpg for a while would love a new resistance though

DarXyde590d ago

Agree on preferring RPGs though at this exact moment, it would be great to see more horror games. Another reason why Japan Studio closing is just tragic. Loved Siren.

just_looken589d ago (Edited 589d ago )

Fuck jim ryan japan studio did so much and helped alot with ports/localization

If they were around bloodborn would be possible like how they helped with demon souls ps4 finial fantasy port.

Horror games would be nice but the jim ryan axe job helped alot in killing playstation dev numbers/freedom and increased regulation with the new censorship crap.

1Victor589d ago

If Sony is bringing back a old shooter I would prefer Warhawk or better yet Starhawk

Rynxie589d ago

No thanks. Resistance and killzone were my all time favorite fps games. I completely dominated those games. I met good people, had a ton of fun and have a lot of fond memories. I don't want them to bring back these games, unless they tackle the cheating epidemic. I know I will absolutely hate these games, if I was to play them now, with all the effing cheating going on in fps games.

Psychonaut85589d ago

Bro the market is oversaturated with quality RPGs AND bloated shitty RPGs already.

Inverno590d ago

I honestly don't think we'll be seeing these anytime soon, if ever. Insomniac is officially on Marvel duty since it seems that all they're working on based off the leaks, and Horizon is more of what the casuals want these days. And I now I'll get a bunch of disagrees, but keep in mind that Resistance last got a game on the PS3 (2011) and Killzone was a launch title for the PS4 (2013). 10 years is a long time to make a game, if had any interest they would've done it by now, add InFamous to that list.

just_looken590d ago (Edited 590d ago )

Your right except the dates killzone mercenary was on ps vita 2013 same with resistance burning skies back in 2012

Good-Smurf590d ago

Both of those games are either made by smaller B team or completely different developer.
Killzone Mercenary developed by Guerilla Cambridge which is now defunct.
Resistamce Burning Skies wasn't made by Insomniac but by Nihilistic Software also defunct after the failure of CoD Black Ops Declassified.

just_looken589d ago

@good i know i never said they were

I mentioned them as they were the last games under that ip well killzone was last on ps4 but still even though they are different devs they led to the lose of the ip.

I highly doubt they made up for there budget cost even killzone on ps4 had low sales for such a large ip at the time.

shinoff2183590d ago

Infamous should atleast get remastered. I'd be cool with that

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH590d ago

Resistance 3 turned me off to the series but I’d love a reboot. KillZone I think can stay dead. Give me a new Resistance like 1or 2 and I’ll be happy.

JEECE590d ago

Except Resistance 1 and 3 were far more similar, 2 was the outlier. 3 was a great return to form after 2 changed so many things from the first game.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH590d ago

I didn’t like 3 and I didn’t find it similar to the first game.

Moegooner590d ago

2 was the best resistance game.

Michiel1989589d ago

agreed, the co-op was my fav in 2

Michiel1989589d ago

I'll keep saying it, have Bungie make a new resistance game, a match made in heaven. Although I imagine Bungie would be too proud to take over an existing IP.

Huey_My_D_Long590d ago

I honestly never cared or liked killzone. Huge resistance fan though. I remember so many nights playing melee only on USS Lexington, and I like the alt history vibe.

InUrFoxHole589d ago

Liked KZ more but both those games are better than MAG

Huey_My_D_Long589d ago

Facts.
Since I'm down memory lane, I also wish for remaster of Warhawk.

P_Bomb590d ago

I’ve been barking up that tree for years. 😢

OtterX589d ago

Keep barking, boy! Keep barking! Never give up hope. ;)

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

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.

OtterX679d ago (Edited 679d ago )

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!!

Rude-ro679d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv72679d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_679d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga679d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos679d ago (Edited 679d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt23679d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball2000679d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin679d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole679d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix679d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989679d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor679d ago (Edited 679d ago )

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 😱

Michiel1989679d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

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.

Knushwood Butt1356d ago

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.

Eidolon1354d ago

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

Miraak82 1354d 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_vulgaris1356d ago

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

GoodGuy091356d ago

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

fr0sty1355d ago

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

P_Bomb1355d ago

Never played Burning Skies but I still have Retribution.

monkey6021355d ago

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

porkChop1355d 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.

darthv721354d 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_Suzumiya1355d ago

Resistance 3 was shocking and brilliant. Loved it.
