(Posted: //) by Darryl
Everyone probably knew that Resistance 3 was coming at some point, but few probably predicted exactly how the news would initially be broken to the world.
It turns out that a picture has been leaked from the set of upcoming movie, Battle: Los Angeles, which has some advertising displayed in the background. The advert in question is for Resistance 3.

Resistance 2 Home Space Confirmed
(Posted: //) by Darryl
Sony Computer Entertainment America have confirmed that Resistance 2 is going to be featured fully inside PlayStation Home.
The Resistance 2 space is going to be officially unveiled on the 21st of May, 2009 and it will feature a cool mini-game where players can shoot down Chimeran ships, as well as reward items and leaderboards.
The big feature though, is that the Resistance 2 Home space will be officially supporting game launching. This means you can hook up with your buddies (or other Resistance fans) inside Home and instantly launch into a match with them on Resistance 2 - in either co-op or competitive matches.

Resistance 2 Continues Climb, Insomniac Excited for Franchise
(Posted: //) by Darryl
Now 6 months on and with hindsight available, it's a good time see exactly how Resistance 2 has performed. Being the sequel to the Playstation 3 launch title, Resistance: Fall of Man, expectations were exceedingly high and after seeing Resistance: Fall of Man perform exceedingly well in sales and receive praise from critics and it was envisaged that Insomniac would push on with the series. The game came out in November 2008 worldwide, so let's dig in to the analysis.
The first point of contention is with reviews. Resistance 2 received very mixed reviews when it came out, but they were mostly favourable. Many felt that while the single player experience had a lot of scale, it was still lacking. However, its saving grace was the copious amount of multiplayer options. You could now enjoy a separate story with up to eight friends online in the co-operative mode. Each mission came with a briefing and objectives that had to be battled as a team and upon completion, intel would be unlocked which shed more light on to the overall Resistance story. In combination with the competitive modes (which allowed for up to 60 players), Resistance 2 was an online package that gave a lot back to the consumer

Resistance Retribution Sales Promising, For The PSP
(Posted: //) by Darryl
Released over three weeks ago to rave reviews from critics, Resistance Retribution was praised for being a perfect example of how a Playstation Portable game should be approached by developers. Sales haven't necessarily been through the roof, but it has been selling reasonably well for a PSP game.
According to VGChartz (an independent game sales estimator), sales across the board have actually been fairly even, with Japanese gamers (not predominantly known for their adoption of western software) buying the game at a frequency on par with those seen in Europe (approx 15k units in the first week), and only slightly behind North American gamers.
Games such as Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters and Tekken: Dark Resurrection have sold in the millions after starting off slowly, and this looks promising for Resistance Retribution as while it may not achieve those numbers in the short-term, it currently looks promising for high totals in the long-term.

Edge Reviews Resistance Retribution
(Posted: //) by Darryl
Edge were the first publication to reveal their review scores for the upcoming PSP title Resistance Retribution, and things don't seem overly positive.
Edge have recently become rather harsh with their reviews, famously giving Killzone 2 a 7/10, and more recently giving Resident Evil 5 a 7/10 also. With that in mind, it's not overly surprising that Edge have decided to give Resistance Retribution a 6/10.
This is pretty disappointing considering the praise it's been getting in all of the industry's previews. However, there are still plenty more reviews to come in the coming weeks before we're able to get our hands on the game ourselves.

Resistance Retribution Demo Added To EU PS Store
(Posted: //) by Darryl
People have been playing the demo for a little while now, as it's been up on the US store for some time. However, other players around the world have had to wait until their respective regions added it to their stores (or they used 'other' methods).
As of yesterday, it's now officially available in the European PSP Store and it clocks in at around 172mb. It looks to be exactly the same demo as featured in the US meaning it features an assortment of weapons, as well as obviously engaging the player into the control system. It also has PSP Plus included, so that can be tested out if you have a PS3 controller handy.

Resistance Retribution To Raise The Bar For PSP Titles
(Posted: //) by Darryl
By now, most people who either own a PSP, or are fans of the Resistance franchise know about the existance of Resistance Retribution. If they don't, then they're seriously missing out as Retribution is looking like one of the biggest PSP titles of 2009, if only because of the new innovations that the game brings to the format.
Set after the events of Resistance: Fall of Man, but before Resistance 2, Resistance Retribution follows the story of one James Grayson as he joins forces with Rachel Parker and Steven Cartwright from the first Resistance. One of the first noticable differences though, is that it's not being developed by Insomniac, but by Sony Bend. Insomniac were involved with the initial process, but that was only to get the story in place; other than that, Sony Bend have been free to do whatever they desire.

Resistance 2 Hands On: Single Player
(Posted: //) by Darryl
With less than a month to go until the release of Resistance 2, we finally had the chance to get our hands on the Single Player campaign. We were lucky enough to get to play through two levels; Iceland and Orick.
Being the "seasoned veterans" that we are, we didn't want to just try the game out, we wanted to try it out on Super Human. So we dived straight in to the first level to see how it compares to the difficulty of Resistance: Fall of Man.
Check out the rest of the story for a full recap.
