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.
Widely expected to be the case, to the point that studio chief Ted Price was surprised it made big news, Insomniac has confirmed that it is finished with the Resistance series it started in 2006.
Games are wont to end as trilogies. Going by Gears of War, Mass Effect, Halo and countless others, you could say it’s an unwritten law. Much like The Dude, Insomniac’s PlayStation-exclusive Resistance franchise will abide, with CEO Ted Price informing VG247 that the developer “won’t be making any more Resistances”.
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.
Visitors to MyResistance.net, the official site for the Resistance franchise of PS3 games, say the site was serving up malware yesterday. One of them alerted Insomniac Games, and now the entire site has been taken offline for maintenance.
