GameSpy writes: "For early adopters of the PlayStation 3, it could be argued that there was only must-have first-person shooter for the system at launch: Insomniac Games' Resistance: Fall of Man. The game combined an engaging single-player campaign with some of the most impressive console multiplayer offerings in recent memory. Perhaps not surprisingly, the upcoming Resistance 2 is one of the most-anticipated PS3 games of the year, and while our earlier preview of the multiplayer modes gave us a nice taste of what to expect, we still hadn't seen much of the single-player game yet. That all changed during E3, when we got an intimate look at the campaign from none other than Ted Price, Insomniac's CEO."
The gaming industry moves at such a pace that it’s not surprising we’ve seen countless franchises fall into obscurity over the years.
There is a rumour that Driver 1 & 2 remasters will be released for Switch and presumably for other systems as well.

Not sure however whether this results into new games in the near future.
Ninja Gaiden? Splinter Cell? Tenchu? Virtua Fighter? Killer Instinct? Killzone?
I would very much enjoy
a new dedicated single player Killzone campaign. With a fun multi-player.
Tenchu and Killer Instict would be great indeed!
Unfortunately new Killzone game does not seem to be in the works
Virtua Fighter is going to receive a new entry!

Splinter Cell is likely to be one of the remasters launching next year (not sure whether this has to do anything with the remake previously announced)

Yeah, read the news about a new Virtua Fighter and I am so ready for it. Splinter Cell at this point I don't believe anything Ubisoft says plus I don't think modern day Ubisoft can make a decent stealth game. They will likely fuck it up.
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.
Resistance 1 MP will always be my favorite. Call it nostalgia or whatever, but that was my jam, felt more balance, natural.
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
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.
Resistance, Warhawk, MAG, Motorstorm, there's so many first party gems on PS3 that Sony has just left to die...
Burning Skies was about 3 hours long and rather inconsequential. You haven't missed anything
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Resistance 3's campaign was gorgeous for the time - and an awesome game to boot.
I remember being put off by it because McHale wasn't the MC but it turned out to be my favourite campaign
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.
My favorite resistance game as well! It seriously had creepy, scary a$$ moments bro! It made me want an action horror game from insomniac!
Remember playing this through online co op with the move controller and gun attachment! What a game!
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.
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
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.
Resistance 2 was one of the first few games i played on ps3 and I loved it, would definitely finish that again :D
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.
RESISTANCE2
THE NEXT BIG THING
mark my words
If "Are the multiplayer and community offerings too ambitious?" is their only -ve point I think we can say this will be a great game :)
Unless the multiplayer is full of lag of course XD
Looking at the gameplay videos again, I can see that
The visuals are amazing, especailly when looking up at that leviathan and the city
The visuals are very poor, worse than the first game, in some of the indoor environments and particle effects are very poor
Fighting the leviathan looks lame. He sees you, then instead of crushing you, or throwing you hard onto the ground so you die, he picks you up gently and chucks you lightly (so you don't take damage) onto the roof of another building. Then he just stares at you. Instead of trying to attack you, he just looks at you. It should be that if he sees you he goes with full force and smashes the side of the building you're in and you have to dodge his attcks. But yet again, he deliberately misses you and lets you escape across to the next building before picking you up again, not trying to kill you but instead throwing you to a nice safe place out of the way. Watching it I didn't feel as though he was an enemy that you had to defeat, more like a piece of mobile scenery that helps you get from one side of the level to the other.
