Top 10. Advice to Insomniac For Resistance 3.

I have completely edited this list for 6/1/10 just for the fun of it. Enjoy.

10. Bring back all the old Chimera. Gray Jacks, Widowmakers, bring em all!

9. Move support. I want to play shooter games that are better than the Conduit with Conduit-like controls. That sounded weird I know but still.

8. Keep multiplayer at 60 players. 60's the perfect number.

7. Vehicles in the campaign.

6. Weapon Wheel, now that was innovative. Even if you keep the wheel at 4, still it would be awesome.

5. Bring back some old weapons from R:FoM.  I would love to play with the XR-005 Hailstorm, the Sapper, and the Dragon again. That would increase the weapon roster largely.

4. Get some new weapons into the mix. This game should have around 16-18 weapons, and get some cool stuff in here.

3. Keep supporting the online. The thing with Resistance is that we got one map pack then support disappeared. Release Co-operative and Competitive DLC flowing throughout the year.

2. Make the game longer. I hate the usual 10 hours in a FPS game with only 5 minute cutscenes. You should add to the Blu-ray and make this a much longer game. Most FPS games can be beaten in 10 hours. After that you can do what?? Make it a longer experience. I want to be stuck inside a FPS for a month or two.

1. Explain the Chimera: This species is extremely unknown. You could reveal some more information about them and bring in new enemies. That would be very exciting to learn about several unknown facts like: When did the Chimera towers be built and where is their homeworld. Leave it open for the inevatable Resistance 4 (I just peed myself thinking about it!).

Well, here is some tips. I hope you use them and blow everyone away with Resistance 3.

I reckon they should do like they did on R&C by adding a challenge mode when the game is complete, where the enemies are even harder (harder than superhuman) and each have a random gun (It'd be funny to see a low level chimera with a LAARK)

Lifendz6297d ago

R2 looked good for a launch game. Uncharted, MGS4, and KZ2 have all raised the bar. Step your game up Insomniac.

Don't use the Ratchet engine. It doesn't work for what Resistance should be. See if you can get Guerilla's engine.

R1 felt like Europe. The stages had a "real" feel to them. R2 felt like nowhere. The stages did not make me sentimental or evoke any kind of emotion in me and the game was in my friggin country this time around.

Work on the spawning points. Seriously, why do I get spawned and then someone gets spawned right behind me. That bites so much I can't even tell you.

Make the sniper rifle a one shot one kill weapon unless you get hit in the hands or legs. I shouldn't hit someone center mass and get only 50xp. If I'm going to snipe and take the risk of getting killed in close quarters (very likely) then reward me by allowing the sniper rifle to do real damage.

Allow me to "cook" my grenades. And improve the grenade throwing mechanic as a whole.

BlackCountryBob6312d ago

Making the game about 10 hours long is a balancing act. They have to balance the skills of a gamer who is very experienced and will beat the game in a few hours but with re-playability versus the occasional gamer who needs to get value from the game ie; complete it.

As for your other ideas; Both R1 and Ratchet were criticised by many hacks for having far to many weapons which felt superfluous as the game could be done using only a few weapons on offer. Offering less weapons I assume was a response to this (though I think it is grasping at straws by reviewers to criticise something for giving players too much choice outside of what is essential). And the idea of the chain gun thing, Resistance already gets unfairly compared to GeOW so how would a blatant rip off of the the Lancer be beneficial to the game?

80 player online, sounds good but it seems to be more about the ability of having more people. It is certainly impressive but TBH I would prefer a 16 player very high quality and enjoyable game to a 60-80 player bog standard death match where you get killed every 5 seconds. I think Insomniac should focus more on some innovative multiplayer game modes on the existing network framework rather than peddle the same formula with more people.

Explaining more about the origin of the species would be nice though but I have a feeling that the real detail will be kept aside for spin off books and cartoons. I also expect R3 to be the last one in the series, trilogies make the world go round!

SinnedNogara6312d ago

I am not a fan of trilogies in games. I feel that they end the series too soon. I want the story to be fleshed up. I also feel that some weapons could be unlockable and usuable in the second campaign or co-op campaign or multiplayer (Except the XR-42 Pheonix) and it would make players want to play more. I also think they should make every weapon enjoyable and fun to play. The Dragon wasn't the best weapon in R1, so they should improve it and make it one of those secret weapons again.

socomnick6312d ago

Tip #1- cancel the franchise its a generic boring franchise that does not sell. Insomniac is better off starting from scratch with a new hot franchise.

Jager6312d ago

Sales = who cares?

Halo 3, most sales on Xbox 360, so i guess Gears 2 is worse then Halo 3 eh?

socomnick6312d ago

yes gears 2 is worse than halo 3. I still play halo 3 even after its launch in 2007, gears of war 2 not so much.

lswanson16312d ago (Edited 6312d ago )

Dude, R2 absolutely sucked. Resistance Fall of Man was great (i played it straight for over 16 months) but R2 is crap. The story short, poor quality and extremely disconnected. If they even make an R3, they should bring back the narrator as they had in R1. You are 100% correct though that they need to bring back the old rfom weapons and do away with the crap R2 weapons...the splicer? wraith? and Marksman? Are you kidding me? Those weapons are all crap and rip offs from other games anyway. IG WAS known for unique weapons with rfom but with R2 they sucked it up bad. THe only good additions of weapons in R2 is the updated Auger for sure and perhaps the Phoenix...but even that is kind of wack. For R3 they need to have a solid single player campaign (which they did not have in R2), dont worry about the total numbers in adversarial multiplayer. 60 is already too much. DO NOT GO ANY HIGHER. Instead, lower the number and increase the graphical quality of the character models in multiplayer because the R2 online models suck....bad. I WAS a huge IG fan but after R2 Im extremely skeptical about anything they put out. R2 imo was a complete waste of 60 bucks. Oh yeah, one more thing, TAKE YOUR TIME ON R3. Who gives a sh!t if you crank out 2 or 3 games a year if they are crap games. R2 should have been in development for at least another 6 months.

Ok, one more thing, I promise, DITCH THE 2 WEAPON SYSTEM! Its generic and a terrible change in R2. Bring back the weapon wheel and weapon spawns on the map.

Jeebus6311d ago

I thought I was the only person that really disliked R2, despite being an ENORMOUS fan of the first. I played it over and over and over again, and the online was completely addictive.

The weapon wheel contributed largely to my enjoyment of the game because I could run through a level setting up Sapper traps, popping up Hailstorm turrets around corners and pull out my Fareye between it all and watch their heads bobble when I put one between all four of their eyes. You could have as much fun with the game as you wanted to have.

From the first time I got insta-killed by those stupid furies...I knew it wasn't right. The weapon wheel was imperative to the Resistance experience, and I felt shorted by the cheap use of Titans and other ridiculous situations.

callahan096310d ago (Edited 6310d ago )

I disagree with every word you said. I prefer everything about R2. I hated the narrator in R1, I hated how levels ended by just walking up to a threshhold, crossing it, and then all of a sudden the screen blurs and it cuts to a narrator talking over still images, Ken Burns documentary style. THAT was a disconnected story. Resistance 2 has a much more fleshed out set of characters, much more entertaining cutscenes, and the story is way deeper and more explained if you read the intel and mission updates.

I also prefer the 2-weapon loadout, I prefer the weapon selection, and I prefer the fully rechargeable health.

I played RFOM before R2 was even announced, and I enjoyed it, but R2 blows it out of the water for me.

Luckily the two experiences are so drastically different that I have actual reason to hang on to RFOM if I ever wanted to experience it again. I'm just glad they didn't rehash that experience for R2 and actually made a lot of changes that I personally find to be improvements.

SinnedNogara6310d ago

Uh..guys, this article is about Resistance 3. How about the chainsaw idea or something. These comments are for R3, not RFOM, or R2, or R:R.

theonlylolking6171d ago

Well I really dont think this game should do any more than 32 players because 64 is to much kaboom and the graphics are way worse when you go online R2 then story mode. 32 players with Killzone 2 health, same maps, 30+ weapons, resistance 2 story mode graphics online, player make ranked matches, 12hr story mode, 2 player co-op offline story mode, all maps from RFOM via DLC, awsome blurr effects, killzone 2 gameplay, COD4 addictivness, help from guerilla games and zipper to make a awsome game to match Halo series, Cod4 lasting sprint, 4 player unranked online matches,snow maps, fighting on Chimera planet in R3, chimera maps, and the name of the game Resistance 3:fall of the chimera.

We Are Xbox

Dear team,

Xbox has always been different.

We started with a simple idea. Games should bring people together through shared experiences. That led to the first Xbox in 2001, Xbox Live in 2002, and new ways to connect, from friends lists and achievements to parties and play across devices. Today, Xbox reaches over 500 million players around the world, with some of the most important franchises in entertainment.

re-evaluating exclusivity 💀

PS players will need to go back to pretending to dislike Xbox games

pwnmaster300012h ago(Edited 12h ago)

Or meaning since it’s doing so good they might just do everything day 1.

They didnt say re-evaluating their multiplatform approach.
🤣🤣🤣 Xbox is so dead. I know you scared🤣🫵ӿ 97;

Even when the topic is strictly Xbox he can't stop talking about PlayStation. Xbox has basically become the hate of PlayStation... and not much else.

My only question is what games are PlayStation gamers gonna play now? They don’t really come out with new games anymore. I’m looking forward to wolverine, but after that then what?

-Foxtrot12h ago

Lmao

There’s no way after everything it’s going back, the damage is done

What you are seeing now is the new management telling what the core fanbase (aka…you) want to hear so they are pumped full of hope and are more likely to invest in the next Xbox console

When Phil took over after the awful Xbox One reveal he did the same thing, he told people what they wanted to hear for damage control.

It’s crazy people are getting suckered into this again.

GhostScholar10h ago

I mean I always buy both systems, so none of this affects me.

darthv724h ago

FWIW..... wasn't the new management speaking to the other staff.... not so much us (regular folk)?

CrashMania12h ago

And you'll now go back to again thinking exclusives suddenly matter, that multiplatform is no longer the future, or that revenue from multiplatforms doesn't matter, like all you flop flopping xbox grifters lol.

The whole post just sounds like the previous phil corpo slop talk to me, whole thing reads like a nothing burger lol.

isarai_lee10h ago

"pretending"? Bro gears hasnt broke 1mil on ps5, and starfield hasn't passed 200k, Hellblade 2 was even stated to be a financial disappointment in sales on its own console, let alone ps5. Im not saying people don't like them, but they certainly aren't setting the community on fire, Forza may be different tho

Neonridr8h ago

Forza broke 5 million on PlayStation. So yes. And there's a new one coming soon.

badz1491h ago

if only they make a real physical version of those games, especially Gears, it would have sold more on PS5

Aloymetal9h ago

Xbawx is ''re-evaluating exclusivity''... Translation: After throwing all sort of crap to the wall to see if something sticks but clearly nothing worked, we, including our lord ''in charge'' Phil came to the conclusion that exclusives indeed do matter so please forget if we ever said otherwise.
Yup, I feel it in my gut, next gen belongs to xbox, PS6 is cooked...

Extermin8or3_6h ago

Well with the decreased price of gamespass even with cod off it there is no way it is profitable given the cost of making their 1st party games (not if you actually include that cost in gamespass costs which they typically dont but should) they will just make a loss without the sales on

Xx_Pistol_xX4h ago

They don't hate the games. They hate the box.

Forza just sold five million copies on PS5, they have a taste for it now.

If they go back to exclusive games it at least shows that they are finally getting it. They would be turning down immediate money for something that will potentially workout in the long term.

Only issue is they've already opened Pandora's box. A lot of their base has moved to PC or jumped to PS. So will be a long road to get back on track.

We have been saying this from day one exclusives are a must if you are going to be selling hardware look at Nintendo and Sony before Jim Ryan. That's the proven formula. You had some that were deluded and blinded by loyalty accepting that multiplat was the future and that MS was merely getting ahead of where the industry was headed, but at least they can finally see the light and agree with what everyone has been saying for a decade+

pwnmaster300012h ago

True, blame it on the rabid fanboys. MS can do no wrong and spinner this multiplatform move. While the actual fans moved on.

I feel like with the new Xbox coming they are hoping to bring back those old fans and then if it goes well. Bring back exclusives.

If the new console is performing like series x and one. Naw they staying multiplatform.

darthv724h ago

Actual fans dont move on... they can add to their hobby while waiting for the next new release. If you believe what you typed then I guess PS fans moved on too.... you know, since its been a Sahara for 1st party games this gen.

Itveds12h ago

Gonna be a funny world where Xbox games are exclusive and Sony games are not lol

Outside_ofthe_Box10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

Funny world where Sony is pro consumer and Xbox is not? At least according to what you loyalists have been saying all this time 🤭

VenomUK10h ago

@itveds For how many years have you been doing this sad stuff? For how many years have you been creating fake accounts to troll? For how many years have you always been cl vnn

fr0sty8h ago

Pathetic incels with nothing better to do than argue over a box... Because they don't have any good games to play on theirs, obviously. If your precious box is so special, why don't you shut the fuck up and go play it?

Elda2h ago

Sony exclusives will always be better than anything XB puts out.

CrashMania12h ago

I think it's too late, xbox sales were diving even before ABK, they got even worse since then even long before the full multiplatform push. I'd be surprised if they even went back to timed exclusivity at this point, Helix is basically a PC and is going to be expensive, they already struggle to sell cheaper xbox consoles, it will be low volume and they'll have a very small 'console' base to sell to, which has already been conditioned to just play via gamepass anyway.

Neonridr8h ago

I don't see them removing PC from the equation. Considering MS has a heavy enough investment in the PC market, it would be foolish to abandon them. I could see them taking away games from PlayStation or ensuring they are timed exclusives at the very least. Say what you will but if Call of Duty ends up becoming a timed exclusive to Xbox machines, that would hurt PlayStation, don't pretend like those games don't sell millions.

Outside_ofthe_Box6h ago

They would lose out on a lot of CoD sales tho. Doesn't PS make up most of the sales?

Pyrofire957h ago

Their lifeline of solely the Xbox consoles is dry. Good-Great games on a 1st party scale can't be made at a loss so willingly - sent to the Xbox to only sell limited copies.
They invested billions scooping up studios and need to start making returns.
Sucks that nearly every company is publicly traded and have to be so shareholder biased but that's how it is.
Their words are strong but it'll take time to see what their actions accomplish. Lowering the cost of Game Pass and taking CoD off of it was a good clear start.

darthv724h ago

More like, allot of their base just played game pass. So now they need to encourage them to start buying again.

--Onilink--1h ago

What exactly is the long term goal with exclusives though?

Because for the most part, the hardware side of things has never been the most profitable, even sometimes being subsidized for a period before breaking even. And that’s before the hardware component nightmare we currently live in.

The whole point of exclusives was to get more people to buy your console in order to have a bigger install base, which meant even bigger software sales.

But if their ports to PS5 are selling (for the most part it seems) quite well, then other than negating the cut Sony takes there, unless you are REALLY increasing your software sales on your own console, it probably doesn’t make that much of a difference?

Honestly I don’t even understand Sony’s decision to scale back on it for PC unless they weren’t even recouping the port expenses. They released ports when the hardware sales never really dropped, and now that all consoles will undoubtedly take a noticeable drop in sales due to the ridiculous prices, that’s when they decide they don’t want to sell to a larger install base to more easily recoup dev costs… it’s just weird

CrashMania7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

Wonder how much money was lost on perfect dark, hellbalde 2, 300 million lost revenue
by putting cod on gamepass. The recent Jason schrier news that Xbox has cancelled dozens of projects, spent 70 billion just to see Xbox sales further collapse and gamepass see little growth.

The fact is this has been PlayStation's most profitable generation and they are making loads of money and selling plenty of consoles and games. While MS won't give you any sales figures or profit numbers for Xbox, says it all really.

shadowT11h ago

"Our presence on PC isn’t strong enough."

Fishy Fingers11h ago

It isnt. But I dont think they mean in 'games', rather, footprint.

They own the OS but as far as gaming is concerned, Steam dominate. I imagine the VAST majority of people who use the Xbox app/launcher are PC gamepass subs. No ones buying their 3rd party PC games through Xbox PC.

badz14956m ago

and many gamers prefer SteamOS for gaming over Windows too. If only Valve would be more uncompromising to the anti-cheat makers that locked out non-windows players, more pc gamers would have moved onto SteamOS by now and not looking back to Windows. overall, Win11 is a terrible, bloated, unoptimized OS which is not what many people want

well it's not on Switch / Switch 2.. so their number would be zero.

The game had a decent launch however the userbase numbers are dwindling on Steam.

Does it hurt you to hear a SONY game was BEST selling ?
You gotta let go of those OBCURED feelings 🤷🏿

Neonridr18h ago

I mean the only reason MLB was the best selling title was because it was multi-platform. Likewise with Marathon. Will ring true for MS games. Only Nintendo titles are truly flexing their muscles when they chart as they are only to be found there.

S2Killinit7h ago

So that means we are going to act like it wasn’t best selling?

I really doubt that. I see it getting more and more traction.
