"Overall, Resistance 2 is shaping up quite nicely and is sure to rival other games this Christmas as the multiplayer game to play. The graphics look great (to me anyway), the game play is fast, and I have had ZERO lag while playing. Look for the full version in New Zealand on the 28th November. If you have the Beta, head on over to our forum and join in the discussion!"
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.
I have one beta key left if anyone is interested. Just PM me and I'll hand it over.
i have a beta key as well. ill probably download it tomorrow. guess they're handing the keys out like candy.
I felt I had more advantage with the turret than with other guns for killing my enemies. The rest of the guns were cool but this one was easier for me to get the rest of people killed. Other guns were slow, not as deadly, didn't have as much amo, or don't have a range for attacking as wide as this one. But then again I was killed a lot by guys with other guns or with grenades =(
I think there aren't as many new guns as I would have liked aside of the splicer which is evidently made to compete with Gears' chainsaws. The turret is predictable, the new mid-range rifle doesn't amaze me, the splicer is awesome, the old guns have great new looks but work almost the same as the last game (i.e. the carbine, bullseye, fareye, auger, and the rocket launcher). I wish it had more guns =( I mean this is insomniac we're talking about, the devs from ratchet and clank.
Another complaint I have is that in the first resistance you could carry with you all of the guns available in the game which I really liked because it made you think very strategically on what guns to use in which situations, and now that you can only carry two guns I feel they eliminated a bit of the strategy in this one, but then again, that makes the game more realistic and I have yet to see how it plays out in the campaign. Maybe the element of strategy is still there by letting you choose which guns to drop and which to keep, I'll know once the game launches.
Another aspect of MP I disliked is that one level reminded me a lot of Halo, but that's just because I don't like generic FPS like Halo. Then again, I honestly only saw that level on youtube and didn't play in it since I haven't focused as much on MP as I have in co-op. I'm not sure if what I saw was the private beta or what, since the co-op has only the Orick level and I don't know if the competitive also has that level, so I'll save my final judgment on competitive for the final game.
Anyway, as for Co-op, this is one of the most entertaining FPS I've ever played. No wait, *the* most entertaining, I just love to co-operate with other guys to achieve the mutual goal of slaughtering the chimera! You can notice how well the game scales the difficulty depending on the amount of players.
You could say the game is still getting balanced as it is still noticeably more difficult per capita as the amount of players in the game, but that could also be for the same reason that you do need to co-operate. If you don't stick together, you fail. If you don't have a well balanced team (i.e. 3 medics, 3 soldiers and 2-special ops, for example) then you're likely going to fail. If your teammates are noobs that won't revive you and will not stick with the team or do stupid mistakes, you will fail.
This is definitely a game on its own as it has storyline elements, and it would take you a very long time to level up all of the classes in the game and get all of the items to facilitate your progress in the co-op campaign. Ambitious is the best word to describe this section of the game, and it delivers. I mean seriously, different classes, XP, buying upgrades... the only thing I'm missing is extra scenarios, but I guess that won't happen until the final game is released.
