Resistance: 40 person multiplayer, 2 match types revealed, offline co-op confirmed

Resistance: Fall of Man is one cool game developed for the PS3. What makes it so special? According to Ted Price, CEO of Insomniac Games (the guys who also brought us Ratchet and Clank), it's not just a smashing and bashing game. With all the FPS (first-person shooter) games in the market, Price says that Resistance stands out from the rest by picking out various genres and fusing them in all in one game. So what you have is a little of RPG, FPS and sci-fi. Neat, eh?

So, how do you pull that off? Price says that you gotta focus on a strong story; you focus on variety; you focus on innovations within the genre; and I think most importantly, the game has to feel coherent so it’s not a blast-fest with no purpose. A lot of recent first-person shooters have done these things very well. We certainly plan to introduce compelling, new elements with Resistance: Fall of Man. Especially when it comes to the weapons, which is generally what the first-person shooter genre is all about. And what is the story, you might ask. Well, let's just say that it's a sort of an alternate universe. Imagine Earth without World War II; imagine history not the way it happened. Imagine a game grounded on one question: What if? Sounds promising, don't you think?

It promises a wide variety of ammo as well. And dig this, since this features an alternate reality, traditional physics laws need not apply. Imagine Auger projectiles that tunnel through objects. But presenting an alternate history doesn't mean that values that we live by won't be present in the game. In fact, Price says that there's going be quite a lot of interaction within the game, as enemies lunge towards unsuspecting victims, and it's your job to free those poor people from those horrid creatures.

Regarding platform issues, Price says that despite lots of negative reports regarding PS3, he's confident to launch Resistance on the said console. He says that Insomniac is aiming for mind-blowing in-game experience, and with Sony, their interests are perfectly aligned. It goes without saying that Resistance is something to watch out for.

Thanks Batmatt:up:

P.S.

What movie is that from? Miami Vice? Man that movie ruled!
my avatar? That'd be Harsh Times with Christian Bale, it hits theaters (limited) September 7th I think
 
I refuse to like an Insomniac game. I have a nice legacy of seething hatred for Spyro and Ratchet, why buck the trend now. :o :o :o
 
i didn't like spyro or ratcet, either, Z... most platformers really do nothing for me. but i do aknowledge the fact that they were really well made games, and alot of people liked them.

i think resistance will turn out to be a goood game, too. if for no other reason then all of the unique weapons should make for some interesting matches.
 
DUDE! How can you guys not like Ratchet and Clank! Man they are some of the best video games characters to date. Its such a tight game with all of the weapons to the creative level and weapon design. But to top it all off they have such little humor jokes.

But yeah I think its cool that Resistance is trying to seperate itself from the pact, I mean they are adding platforming/RPG/Survial horror/ect many other things. Many First Person Shooters just give you a gun and say have fun run and gun *Halo*:D
 
Will they be adding a flight simulator and licensed sports element to Resistance as well? :D :down

Halo also ended up being the top-selling FPS in history. :o

Wow that was incredible lame hope you didn't hurt yourself trying so hard to think up that lame joke. Please next time try harder:up: :rolleyes:

ExtroManaic what I meant was is that Resistance will pace it self from just being a freakin run and gun game the whole way through, that unlike Halo there will be so much variety and pacing. Like there will be huge open enviornments with huge battles and then small corridor segements that are creepy with ambient noises and jump at your shadow moments where you'll be only with a flash light. Jump out of your skin from Creatures leaping over you, crawling on walls, calling for help....Man I wish Halo would do some of those things.;)

This sounds like alot of stuff Quake 4 & Prey has

Wow did you really just type that:confused: It must have sounded better in your head:O

Anyways

Yeah maybe Prey and Quake 4 have done those things but trust me Insomniac will take this to the next level. I haven't really play Quake 4 enough to know if they do this but I've played Prey and I didn't see any enemies that clung to walls like Spider-Man and crawled around really fast shooting at you. Then when you reload your gun they take the oppurtunity to lung off of the wall that they are on and cling to the other wall making them a hard target.

Man this game is definatly going to deliever on all fronts, don't expect less from Insomniac if they say this game is going to be varied trust me...they are putting it lightly.:)

So was that a no? :(

In case you haven't figured it out i'm a guy and from the way you act and talk I would make the assumption that you are a guy as well?
 
I morph like an amoeba between one or the other from time to time.

Wow are you like their Official Spokes person for this game or something here ? You must be one of those people that believes every single little thing you read. Alot of companies during a games development says lots of crap about a game. Have you played the final product ? No stop acting like this game is the best game on the entire plabnet when none of us here have even plalye4d it yet. You & Zenien just have to accept that not everyone cares about this game as much as you two
