Resistance 3‘s boat level. Talk about badly-designed encounters. True, it’s the first time you really get to crank out the game’s shotgun, but on the hardest difficulty, running around that tiny excuse for a seaworthy vessel practically eating the contents of the ammo chest and wall-mounted health pack on a second-by-second basis made it the most frustrating fights for me. So you can imagine I’m not that psyched to check out the supposed April Fools’ Day content hidden there.
Starting today, you’ll be able to rampage your way through one of the PS3′s best first-person shooters with a friend as Resistance 3 adds the all-new Brutality DLC pack. The add-on introduces a co-operative mode where two players face down wave after wave of Chimera aliens.
In a room at Insomniac Games, Jon Paquette has taken over a wall. The writer of Resistance 3 has covered the surface in sticky notes: one colour to indicate what happens where, another colour highlighting the major beats of the game, and another pinpointing precisely what he wants the player to feel at each point.
We would never call master filmmaker Freddie Wong a sell-out. But, the use of the SharpShooter and the Resistance 3 setting (with animations by Insomniac Games), right as both are part of a big ad campaign, does make it seem this was, well, commissioned.
