Resistance 3 Hits GI Cover, New Main Character Confirmed

It's still one of the most under-appreciated franchises out there in our estimation, and we'll be sure to keep you up-to-date regarding Resistance 3.

You can grab a ton of information from next month's Game Informer, too. We've recently learned that Insomniac's huge new project will be on the cover, and the details are already starting to leak onto the Internet. According to PS3Center, it seems the first big piece of news is that Nathan Hale will not be returning as the protagonist. Part of the GI feature says "New Main Character," and it seems the new head man will be Joe Capelli. We don't know anything about him just yet but for those hoping to see Hale one more time, you'll be disappointed. Of course, the article goes on to talk about fresh locales and even a new weapon system (possibly), so stay tuned for anything related to Resistance 3 in the coming months. Might it be ready to go for the holiday 2011 season...? Insomniac is usually pretty good about releasing their games on time and even though we don't have an estimated launch window just yet, we're willing to bet that Sony wants it ASAP. Oh, and we're guessing R3 will be Move and 3D compatible.

In the meantime, guess we'll just have to hope that Killzone 3 turns out well. ...such a terrible position to be in, right?

That would be an awesome ending to R3 but answer 1 question for me. SPOILER ALERT for those that haven't played R2.

How can Nathan Hale be the end boss if at the end of R2 he got his brains blown out? Just saying.

Yeah, it's definitely a bummer not whacking Chimera 'round the Christmas Tree this year.

From what I have heard, after Hale's passing, they've gotten completely depressed,lazy and fat, now only drinking Duff and playing World Of Warcraft in their mom's basement. The tough part isn't convincing them conquering Earth is still worth the challenge, but getting them off the junk food!

I dont really get why R3 can't be done this year. They were alternating Ratchet and Resistance (which worked incredibly well, imo), so this year R3 should be done. Maybe they got delayed while setting up the new office in NC.
I've been a huge Insomniac fan since Spyro, so i'll be missing them a lot this year. At least GT5 will be able to keep me occupied for months ;)

In the forums, Benny mentions that R3 will feature some gameplay changes.

I doubt they will change gameplay styles to a third person perspective, but it something I would like to see.

Hopefully the weapon wheel returns, and campaign co-op.

Castlevania rocks. The deeper i get in to the game, the more this impression is confirmed. I'm beginning to think a lot of reviewers were pressed on time, and blew through the first couple of chapters on easy, then sung the same song everyone else was singing. It is not a GOW3 knock-off. It's not a cash-in of a famous franchise. It's a homage to every great action-adventure in the last decade. If you don't get it brand-new, at least keep your eye out for a good deal. Well-worth full price.

Akuma - there is definitely a statute of limitations. Technically this game came out less than 2 years ago, so I think it should still fall under the "spoiler-free" category....especially with such an awesome ending. I wouldn't want that ruined for me.

My problem with spoilers is much different than the average gamer.

As a gaming collector, I really need to try & get every game out there that I possibly can.
But since the only way of doing that is to buy most of my games "used" and around $20 or under price-point, plus I have to wait to see if that game is available on the console I need it for(Yes, even multi-plat games), then an older spoiler can most certainly still indeed be a serious spoiler for all of us who are serious gaming collectors.

So far as I'm concern, I don't care how old a 360 game or PS2 or PS3 game is, if I didn't play it yet(and since I'm still buying them), then I consider it a spoiler without the alerts added in.

Hell, I just recently bought & have been playing GTA4 every single free moment(58% through), but unfortunately now I already know who dies at the end, and by who, just because somebody didn't take a additional 5 seconds to add 2 little words....... ***Spoiler Alert***.

Just saying.

I'm just saying you shouldn't use guido in a derogatory way just because the guy is a douche. It's the intent behind the word that makes it racially charged.

Not saying I liked the guy, he was a douche. But, his name is Capelli, he isn't Irish.

**This post may contain SPOILERS for the Resistance franchise. Read on at your own discretion.**

First of all R3+Move=PSMove Purchase. Secondly, I want the next Game Informer out last week. I must know more about Resistance 3. I'd like to see it return to a style more akin to the original than the sequel.
Next, I hope that it doesn't go third person. leave that for any future PSP iterations.
Fourth, Hale has to return in some form. You cannot simply get rid of him.
Fifth, lead this into a fourth game that will resolve the war between the humans once and for all. And while they're at it, give us more info about the Cloven.
Sixth, I want a PSP iteration in flashback that shows us about the previous rising of the Chimera, why and how the towers were buried and why they were gathering at the Chixculub Crater exactly.
Finally, I want a 2011 release date for this game. Insomniac can do little wrong. But I don't want Capelli, he annoyed me in R2.
Peace.

IIRC, the Chixculub Crater was the exact location where the previous war against the Chimera ended, with some sort of a weapon of mass destruction that killed all chimera...

If you pay attention to both games and some trailers, almost everything that you write gets an explanation so I don't think there's any need for more games...

I just want to know how the second and final war against the chimera ends...

**SPOILER***

What was the thing at the end of R2??? A moon?? Chimera's home planet?? A full-scale invasion from outer space???

SPOILERS!

As for the Cloven, I understand how they came about and whatnot, but I'd like to know more about THEM and their relationship with the Chimera. All we know is that they were early experiments, and now they're basically just warped humans. I want details.
And I got the feeling that the Chimera were gathering there because they had their own weapon there, and maybe THAT is the thing at the end of the second game. The Chimera were apparently an earlier race than humanity, so I don't think they're aliens at all. Eh, too much thought for too early in the morning.

And I don't really want much out of Resistance 3. I just think that those ideas are a logical procession of events.
Peace.
