Europe is overrun by extraterrestrials, Sergeant Nathan Hale is the sole survivor of an alien attack, and it's up to you to save the world. But before all that, let's go behind the scenes with the Insomniac Games crew as they tell us a little something about Resistance 2. |

I suppose it should come as no surprise that there's a rumored 3rd
installment in a franchise as successfully hyped as Resistance is. Rumors
have certainly been abundant on that account as early as October of last year. Now, there's some new evidence offering a strong suggestion toward the possibility of a sequel. The source: Resistance 2's ending scene. |

Surfer Girl, a blogger known for the leaked Prince of Persia 4: Ghost of the Past screenshots, made another post claiming Insomniac Games' Resistance: Fall of Man is going to get a sequel. "Insomniac Games is indeed developing Resistance: Fall of Man 2... tentatively scheduled for release next
November," she said.According to her post, "aside from the first and last level, the game takes place entirely in the United States." It's not certain yet if Nathan Hale will be back as the protagonist, but Surfer Girl said players will be fighting the Chimeran invasion in places like San Francisco and Chicago. The ending will open up a window for a third title. "Vehicles will be included in multiplayer this time around," she added. One is supposed to fly, while three new ground vehicles be available along with those from the original game. Surfer Girl didn't have anything else apart from the details mentioned, and stressed out that the November release is tentative. |

Ted Price, Insomniac President, has been a very busy man lately. He's been taking charge of most of the interviews for their newest project, Resistance: Fall of Man. Last time, he was featured while giving a six-part preview, now he sits down with Play Beyond and gives them the background story and the reasons on why their game should be treated better than other FPS games out there. In the video interview, Ted gives the game's background story and how the main character enters the picture. Asia is overrun by the Chimera --a parasitic race-- and is taking over Britain. The U.S. sends their troops to help the Brits kick the parasites out, but is immediately wiped out save for one. Sgt. Nathan Hale survives being infected by the virus and continues on fighting with the depleted British troops. However, the game is not told from his point of view but rather from one of the soldiers. In this way, the gamer can observe how the sergeant deals with not only the external aliens he must vanquish, but also the internal demons which he must overcome. Everybody is haunted by their own demons, right? The variety of gameplay improves thanks to the different enemy AI and unique weapons not normally seen in an FPS. Since the aliens are made up of different forms, they move and attack in different ways. For example, there are some who are team-players and like to swarm while there are those who choose to attack alone, not waiting for reinforcements. The weapons are not the normal, garden-variety, and Army-issued ones we usually see or hear about, plus it can be combined with other weapons to build a totally different kind of firepower. All these combinations - varied enemy AI, weapon-mixing, third person point of view storytelling- will hopefully make the game more replay-friendly and very engaging. The First Person Shooter (FPS) genre hasn't really been a hit in Japan, so most were surprised that Resistance will be coming out as a launch title for the PS3. Ted defends the genre by saying that first-person-shooters can bring a lot more to the Japanese audience in terms of story, variety, and great gameplay. He believes his game offers a lot, be it for single, multiplayer or online, compared to many others. He talks more on how the PS3's graphics power and Blu-ray helped them in creating and developing the game. If you don't want to take our word for it, you can view the whole video on the link below. Do you think Japan will open up to more FPS games because of Resistance: Fall of Man? Why or why not? Let us know through your comments. |

And now, we get yet another sneak peek into the title that was created by Insomniac Games, the same company that gave us the Ratchet and Clank series, Resistance: Fall of Man, which is due for release this November 17 for the PS3.
The FPS is set in an alternate reality which happens to be 1951 in Great Britain. World War II never happened, but instead of the holocaust, mankind is plagued with beings known as the Chimera, a race of humanoid creatures who are out for nothing else but destruction. This gameplay video pretty much shows how one would play as the lead character in the game, Sgt. Nathan Hale. It also allows players to have a glimpse of what weapons are to be at their command once they get their hands on this game later this year. But enough of the talking and on with the video! |

Just when you thought that we had run out of Resistance: Fall of Man screens to share to you, out comes six more of them. If you haven't had enough of our latest serving of the game's screenshots, well here are more of them. The game, in case you have no idea what it's about, is a sci-fi based, first-person shooter that will enable you to play as U.S. Army Ranger, Sgt. Nathan Hale. |
