How does /v/ feel about this series?
>>339986134
Deader than Elvis
never played them but all i know is from the 2 guys that told me
1. they play like doom- er i mean disruptor for the playstation 1
2. they replaced a russian dude with a skinny hwite man in the second one
is this right
>>339986326
Dead IP
But it was well overshadowed by the PS3 shortcomings itself, its a fairly fun shooter with good weapons and Resistance 2 had like 30v30 MP which was pretty fucking high for a console shooter. Resistance 3 is legitimately 9/10
>>339986134
one of the most generic FPS ever made
>post apocalyptic
etc etc
>>339986134
1st and 3rd are great, 2nd sucks
>>339986537
>>339986326
didnt resistance die because it had like a terrible vita game or something
>>339986537
>>339986605
why do people say that the third one is good, is this some sort of hipster meme like the people who try to say far cry 2 is good?
1 is a fantastic old style FPS, med packs, hipfire better than ADS, bang bang action as fuck.
2 is a terrible Halo rip off.
3 is the single best console FPS of all time and is dark as fuck.
>>339986134
Played the 1st like 5 years after it came out and loved it. Then blockbuster died and I never bothered to track down 2. Damn shame.
I felt as if the co-op in resistance 2 was superb, i clocked probably 3 dozen hours on it
a holy trinity from mmos put into an fps that was halfway decent
>>339986630
It "died" because Insomniac moved on. They did a final R&C game I believe then went to do Fuse/Overstrike or whatever
>>339986950
you forgot sunset overdrive
and theyre doing a new one called song of the deep this year. it plays like a metroidvania and its multiplat
>>339986950
>Fuse
Oh, that exists.
>>339986134
some nice physics for their time (console wise).
>>339986687
Probably because it's better than the second and brought back the weapon wheel
>>339986134
Solid console shooter, 2 was mediocre but the others have been great.
>>339987108
>because it's better than the second
every time
>>339987197
>>339987102
FUCK those robofish things.
>>339987102
shiiiiiiit i remember seeing an experiment for this in ratchet and clank 2s insomniac museum
it goes deep
>>339986134
1 > 3 >>>>>>> 2
1 is surprisingly good.
MUH GLASS BREAKING SIMULATION
Would recommend.
2 is incredibly mediocre but had the largest console multiplayer at the time and some neat technological things going on.
Would NOT recommend.
3 I didn't play because it ran at 20fps, but I hear it was something of a return to form of 1.
2 was terrible but 3 was one of the greatest ps3 games i have played. 1 surprised me a lot because it plays like a old school shooter, that might turn off some people but i enjoyed it
>>339986134
Another series that wish it was Ape Escape
>>339987286
>he thinks the second ones good
Third one went back to the feel of the first game. The second game was just Halo lite, imo
>>339986134
The first one was a quick fun FPS with a mildly interesting premise.
The second one was kinda okay, not as fun, but certainly was more interesting on the story side of things and made you want to find out what's actually going on.
The third one was boring as hell and ended with the plot saying "FUCK YOU I AIN'T CONCLUDING SHIT!"
>>339987673
its CLEARLY fucking tony hawks pro skater
i mean just look at it
>>339987768
no, I mean every time when you ask someone why a newer game in a series is good you get "well at least it wasn't as bad as the game before it"
it's really quite stupid in my opinion.
>>339987897
Well I didn't say the second one was bad, just the third was better.

It's the only game that somehow featured my little middle of fucking nowhere hometown.
Seriously, the population is in the hundreds and literally no one who's not from there knows it exists, and yet somehow Insomniac chose to feature it in their video game.
r3 was fucking badass and the i think it was like 40 people multiplayer
the psp game was fucking GOAT
Ididn't get to finish the 3rd one, what happened?
>>339986376
>russian dude in the first one
what?

>>339988221
Grimsby?
1 is good
2 is shit
3 is great but way too short
Fucking loved this series back then. First game I ever played on PS3 along with Motorcross and Genji Days of the Blade
>resistance fall of man
>4 player split screen pvp with my brothers and cousins
>2 player coop with my brother
>resistance 2
>2 player coop online with my brother again
>resistance 3
>2 player coop again
Shit was really fun. Only game I didn't play much was Retribution because it felt weird.
I was a bit disappointed they dropped the weapon wheel on the 2nd game because the weapons are GOAT. I especially loved the
Hailstorm from the 1st one. Sucks it doesn't reappear at all. I'm just sad this series probably won't get a proper conclusion.
>>339987072
>you forgot sunset overdrive
is not like anyone played it anyway
It has the best "standard" AR from any FPS. The Goddamn M5A2 Folsom Carbine. Kills everything, sound amazing.
>>339989212
Remember the reveal and it being hyped to be amazing?
>>339989296
I remember the reveal, and some threads about too many memes in the game but not real hype around it.
>that fucking coop mode in R2
WHO MEDIC HERE
Why the hell is everyone shitting on Resistance 2?
Yeah they made dumb changes but the multiplayer and the Co-op is what saved it and made it my favorite, it literally was one of the best multiplayer games, Right next to MAG.
Resistance 3 is what killed the series, the story was bullfucked, MC wasn't a badass like he used to in 2, most of the weapons are useless and the weapon leveling system was uninspiring.
>>339989296
I remember a reveal and Microsoft bundling it with all their Xboxs, but nothing after the first couple weeks.
>>339989619
>Servers were shut down
JUST
>>339986134
Killzone is better
>>339989820
They've started remastering 360/nogames3 vidya
It could come back
>>339986134
Pretty fun, even played the PSP version which somehow gave me a decent multiplayer experience while using the PSP mic to speak to randoms.
Damn near everyone used the bullseye
The first game had a great premise, and so much hidden lore. morse code messages, dead guys with coded radio transmissions, notes on all sorts of shit you never get to see.
>>339986376
> They play like Doom
First one plays sort of like what a good 2006 Doom game would be, It's not really exactly like classic Doom (and nothing ever will be, because it's just too long ago), but it plays quite similar to Doom 4.
> Modern controls
> Weapon Wheel with 12 guns, all with an alt-fire
> 4 grenade types
> no sprint, but fast strafe speed
> only partially regenerating health, will regen to the nearest 25%, health packs needed to repair a fully depleted quarter.
> No real ADSing except for sniper rifle (you can "zoom" some other guns, but it doesn't affect shot spread or movement speed)
> A large variety of enemy types that are actually pretty reminiscent of Doom
> Tons of enemies at once (like 20+ all in the radius of one grenade, super satisfying)
> Ebemies don't magically spawn, you can see them from a distance and even snipe them (better than Doom 4 in this regard)
> Long as fuck campaign (for an FPS)
> A few fun vechile missions including driving an Chimeran Spider Tank
I really love Fall of Man, it's what modern shooters (7th gen and beyond) SHOULD have followed as an example, taking classic design tropes and improving them with modern technology, instead COD4 became the go-to game for inspiration.
Which brings us to Resistance 2. The worst sequel of all time. 2 weapon limit, regenerating health, ADS, reserved memoir style story told by British lady gone in favour of generic American military goons yelling at eachother.
Resistance 3 is a return to form (all the old systems are back) but just isn't as good as 1, reeks of underbudgeting.
>>339990829
2 was redeemed by the coop
>>339990829
>> Long as fuck campaign (for an FPS)
jesus fuck, and a guy i knew said he did it in one sitting
or it was resistance 2
>>339991165
R2 was short, like CoD campaign short, R1 was longer IIRC
>>339988459
cant remeber ill play again this week , i think we won the war
>>339991165
Not kidding it had about 25-30 levels.
>>339991264
makes sense i guess
>>339988459
the portal between the alien world and earth explodes and I think earth is saved or something.
Resistance was once of the games that came with my PS3. I wasn't visually impressed by it, I thought it looked like a Xbox game, but also I didn't have a HDTV when I had the game.
>>339988443
oh shit, I forgot about that one. Was actually really impressive for a PSP game. Even so the multiplayer was pretty darn good.
Alright, pop quiz:
How many of you knew that Resistance 1 had dual SMGs, a Flamethrower, a Lightning Gun, force field grenades and something else I forgot?
Hiding 5 really cool weapons in NG+ was a mistake. Only a fraction of the playerbase ever saw 1/4 of the weapons Insomniac spend hundreds of hours making.
>>339991165
I mean it's possible to do it in one sitting, but so is a lot of things. Sub-sequent playthroughs are shorter obviously, but I reckon it's a 12-15 hour games if you play on normal without any prior knowledge. It gets pretty hard near the end.
2 and 3 are much shorter, probably 7-8 hours.
>>339991885
Only discovered those myself last year after loading up an old save. Those dual SMG's were amazing.
>>339991885
>forgetting the explosive glob launcher
The slip skull dualies were the shit. Also grey jacks were the coolest chimera, and they disappeared after FoM.
>>339988838
Grimsby is like Hob's End - the sort of place that only exists on a map and nobody has ever actually been there.
That said Resistance 1 triggered me due to the incorrect road signs given the time period.
1 > 3 > 2
>>339991885
The dual SMG's remind me of the not Uzi in EYE (i've played EYE more recently) - absurd rate of fire and equally absurd ammo consumption.
Resistance 1 is a great game but goddamn is it the bar for brown and bloom.
Doesn't everyone say R3 is basically HL3?
>>339992473
It stands alongside HL2 if nothing else.
enjoyed 1
hated 2
never played 3
>>339992108
Glob Gun wasn't NG+, it was always found in the final level of Chedder Canyon, exploring the base with that British guy.
> Before you ask, yes Chedder Cheese does come from here
> *when crashing the car* have you been drinking?
He was a good friend.
Also Glob Gun fucking sucked, it had no range and it's alt fire (detonating Globes as mines) was flawed because it took too long, whoever you were going to kill had already moved past it.
The revolver from 2&3 was a similar idea (plant something then detonate it) but worked 1000x better because you could actually shoot stuff.
Get them second hand for like a couple quid each and it is generic as shit.
>>339992706
>Before you ask, yes Chedder Cheese does come from here
I'm surprised people have to ask this. Then again something like 80% of all cheese the UK produces is consumed internally.
R2 has to be one of the worst Triple A games I have ever played.
How did Insomniac let that shit come out like that?
Everything felt so staged.
It felt like an on the rails shooter.
>>339992828
Or thrown down a hill for southerners to chase.
>>339992953
Its more fun than it sounds.
Who got all the skill points?
It's a shame they never patched trophies in, but I 100%'d it anyway (never beat Superhuman mode though). Concept art and making of movies are pretty cool. Some of the chimera designs wernt used until 2 (the mermaid guys).
1 aged like milk.
2 has a lot of mediocre design decisions that were symptomatic of the era (two weapons, brown+bloom, etc) but is still playable and enjoyable
3 is the best console FPS on the PS3 and has god-tier weapons.
>>339993378
>100%
>didn't beat superhuman
>>339993378
Given the only two games I had when I bought my ps3 on release were resistance and motorstorm I sunk an unholy amount of hours into both. That including 100%ing reistance.
>>339993915
Well motorstorm was just fuckin' fun
>>339994037
>buggy byway
Was the Vita game any good at all?
>>339994312
I'll give you a clue
It was developed by the studio behind Marvel Nemesis, Playstation Move heroes, andCall of Duty Black Ops declassified
>60 Player matches on the aircraft carrier
>Melee only 1 hit kills
>Rooftop map
>Gas Grenades only
>That soldier customization
I fucking loved Resistance.
The perfect shooter for my9year old self
>>339986134
>Resistance
3>1>>>>>2
>Killzone
2=3>>>>>1
That is all
>>339989212
I'll play it when it comes to PC in like five years.
>>339994613
I liked Marvel Nemesis.....
>>339995848
That was the quality high point from the studio
Other than that the other games were mediocre or downright bad
First one was the best, it is a fact.
1 has the best couch 4 player death match for Ps3
2 is dogshit with 2 weapon limit, increased weapon spread to encourage weapon spread and decrease mobility, and worst of all 0 Zero NO split screen multiplayer at all
2 is so shit I never played 3
>>339986134
Better than it gets credit for.
I liked R2 the most. Purely because of its baller co-op mode.
>and worst of all 0 Zero NO split screen multiplayer at all
That's not actually true.
>>339989619
MY NIGGA. MEDIC WAS FUN AS FUCK
>>339996018
I'm pretty sure the second game has split-screen multiplayer.
R2 had the best co-op in gaming history
Prove me wrong
>>339996287
>>339996148
Split screen coop, but only 2 player. No 4 player split screen death match killed the replayibility. Resistance 1 was the Halo 2 of my childhood
>>339989619
Right here.
>tfw being the only medic in an 8-man superhuman run
Trying to keep those soldier hooligans alive was thrilling.
>>339996432
Sure. But 2-player split-screen =/= no split-screen at all.
Plus you could do split-screen online, in both co-op and competitive.
>>339986134
My experience is skewed because two times I tried to play three and each time i encountered a bug where the enemies would not attack me until like 1/3 of the way through the game, I also never got to try multiplayer.
1 was top tier regarding story and single player. Online was fun but nothing extraordinary. Also fucking love coop campaigns
2 had a worse single player, worse weapons, but god damn was that coop mode fun as fuck. Also 40 vs 40 deathmatches were amazing. Best war game until MAG came out nad topped that. Fucking loved this game. Also dat ending
3 story was whatever.
1>2>3 single player (
2>1 multiplayer
>>339996556
My original statement is a mistake since its been years since I played it. My disappoiment that 2 doesnt have full 4 player local death match makes me type that hyperbole statement of 0 local multiplayer
>>339996432
Wha? Childhood? jajajaja

why do sony consoles have such bad exclusive shooter franchises?
>>339986134
The most generic and boring brown military shooter IP that was LITERALLY made because another console had a similar exclusive IP.
Sony everyone.
>>339995316
..this is what is has come to, isn't it. We now have millenial scum here who's first platform was a seventh gen console.
Alright, who wants a Resistance ps4 game set in continental europe a while before Resistance 1.
The Chimera stayed in Russia for decades, and the west had no idea what was happening (assumed Russians had developed a powerful biological weapon), before the Chimera invaded and took over Europe in a matter of weeks.
A game set during that could be really cool
>>339996360
I can't
It was beautiful
So is the Resistance collection worth a buy?
>>339998894
The second and arguably third are disappointing games and none of them have active multiplayer anymore. If you can find it for $10 it wouldn't be a terrible buy, but buying the original alone for $5 would be better.
>>339998894
It's all single player now with the shutdown MP servers
Get it under $15 new
>>339998894
not really IMO since the servers are shut down
2 had a god-tier co-op, shame you missed it
R3 multiplayer. although very COD like, was fun.
>>339986134
"Can you hear them? They are calling to us. It's beautiful."
best line
>>339998894
You would only be playing them for their campaigns, since the servers are gone.
Which isn't a terrible thing I guess, 1 and 3 have pretty good campaigns.
Are the guns cool? Does the campaign have replayability at least?
I dont get why people hate 2 so much.
The online was easily the best, especially the co-op.
>>340001747
Coop was god tier
SP was a step backwards
For serious, why ditch the weapon wheel. WHY.
>>339999949
"Forgive me, sir. It's been an honor."
That was such a nice exchange after Capelli gave Hale shit the whole game for being so far along in his infection.
It's garbage, i rather play a better console fps like timrsplitters.
>>340001747
2 gets a lot of arguably deserved flak for its campaign. The campaign itself was just weak, but they removed a lot of flavor from the previous game (regenerating health, no weapon wheel, etc.) in favor of a more generic CoD-style experience. It ultimately being the only one in the trilogy to lack campaign co-op was also salt in the wound.
But to me, the multiplayer made up for it. For what 2 lacked in the SP department it made up for in MP. The co-op was god-tier, and the 30vs30 competitive mode was a first for the platform IIRC.
>When you get the minigun in 2
Also whose retarded idea was it to limit the weapon selection from a wheel to two guns?
>>339986134
>mfw i only ever played the first one.
The games was actually kidna good. I was going to buy the second one when th demo/beta for the third one was available for free. Then i actually played the multiplayer and thought it was garbage so i didnt buy neither the second one or the third one.
>>340001409
It's Insomniac, so yeah the guns are cool. 2 introduced this magnum that fired bullets packed with remote-explosive charges. So you could pump a bunch of rounds into someone, and if that didn't drop them, you'd click the trigger and have those bullets blow up from inside of them.
One of the series' trademark weapons is the Bullseye, which let's you shoot tags at enemies that your bullets home in on with perfect accuracy. So you could tag an enemy then shoot them from around a corner.
In terms of replayability, it depends on the game. 2's campaign is meh, but 1 and 3 are nice stories and I think they both have some collectibles if you're into that. Also 1 and 3 have co-op campaign so they're good couch options.
>>339997041
>2008
Resistance was a launch title in 2006.
>>339997625
PS3 wasn't my first platform
You're acting hysterical
