Summary

America is lost. Four years after the epic conclusion of Resistance 2, dishonorably discharged Sentinel Joseph Capelli is in hiding from the invading Chimeran menace with a pocket of survivors, including his new wife and young son. But when Dr. Fyodor Malikov arrives with a desperate plan, he sets into motions the events of Resistance 3, the third installment in the popular full-featured first-person shooter series. Resistance 3 is created by critically-acclaimed developer Insomniac Games exclusively for the PlayStation 3 system.

Set in a brutal, alternate 1950s universe, America has been successfully conquered and destroyed by the deadly Chimeran race, forcing the last remaining human survivors to seek refuge in hiding. Players must take on the role of Joseph Capelli, the last surviving Sentinel from a clandestine military program, as he comes out of hiding to journey across a land of ruin in a heroic fight for survival against the merciless Chimera. In addition to an epic single-player campaign, Resistance 3 offers two-player online or split-screen co-op through the single-player campaign, and a new, focused progression-based multiplayer experience.

Key Features

  • Journey as mankind’s last hope, Joseph Capelli, across a devastated America, making your way from Haven, Oklahoma to New York City.
  • Resistance 3 returns with a fully loaded arsenal of innovative weapons, including classics like the Bullseye, Auger, Rossmore, and Marksman, and increase the firepower of each with a new weapon upgrade system. With the return of the fan-favorite weapon wheel, players now have access to the entire sandbox of weaponry, giving them strategic choices for any situation they encounter.
  • Engage smarter and more agile Chimeran enemies – due to Insomniac’s new awareness and cinematic traversal technology that gives the Chimera the ability to traverse any environment to reach you: nowhere is safe. Newly evolved Chimeran species – such as the powerful, leaping Longlegs – are larger and more deadly than ever.
  • Two-player online and local/split-screen co-op gameplay allows players to team up with a friend during Capelli’s journey to New York.
  • A new, more focused, progression-based multiplayer experience builds on Insomniac’s multiplayer pedigree, while allowing players to take part in the global resistance by battling in locations set around the globe.
  • Resistance with support the PlayStation Move and the Sharp Shooter and will be playable in full Stereoscopic 3D,
  • Resistance 3 features a 16-player multiplayer mode where players compete 8-on-8 in a series of Human versus Chimera deathmatch and objectives based competitive matches.
  • Multiplayer matches take place in locations around the globe, introducing players to the effects of the global Chimeran evasion.
  • Fight for survival on multiplayer maps inspired by fan-favorites from both Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 2.
  • Resistance 3′s new, progression-based multiplayer experience allows players to create their own progression paths, earning points to spend on customized loadouts for their own unique playstyle.
  • New Human- and Chimera-specific kill-streak Beserks reward players with unique special powers, such as an energy riot shields for Humans, or a temporary mutation into a fearsome Chimeran Ravager for the Chimeras.
  • Players can level up new active tactical abilities such as dropping Ammo for allies, deploying bubble shields, or creating a doppelganger to absorb enemy fire.
  • New passive support abilities include the ability to enhance hip-firing accuracy, firing rate, clip sizes, as well as players’ starting load out.

    • Ariez

      Warhammer 40k: Space Marine or no dice.

    • Flaming-Sheep

      I am sorry. FIFA is the winner.

      In a fanboy fight, FIFA fanboys would dominate GoW fanboys. Fact.

      No arguing now.

  • Wayne

    Resistance 3, oh yeah. i have been itching to find out what happens after shepard gets “ahem” right at the end of the 2nd one.

    • A-G Sonday

  • http://www.popularmechanics.co.za Andrew Solomon

    I absolutely cannot wait for Dead Island. Ever since that awesome trailer I’ve been avoiding dangerous hobbies so that I don’t accidently die and miss out.

    • Dean

      DEEEEEEEEAD ISLAND!

  • http://www.thatsadealbreaker.co.za Aaron

    Anyone know when El Shaddai is getting a local release date, if at all?

    • http://egamer.co.za/ Azhar

      If you’re talking about El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron, that has a Europe release date of September 9, 2011 :D That means we might see it land here in South Africa around that time, but we’ll have to find out about that because it doesn’t seem to be known locally here.

      But it’s definitely releasing in Europe this month :)

  • CyniKill

    The title I’m most excited for this month is The Binding Of Isaac.

    Cue everybody staring at me weirdly for naming an obscure title that I’m the only person who’s heard about it. I’m such a hipster.

    • Dean

      We’ll review that. I think.

    • CyniKill

      It’s being made by one of the Super Meat Boy guys, you’d better review it. :P

    • Dean

      I remember emailing someone about it. But, meh, too tired to think now. :-(

    • NeoN

      Sounds like a pawno to me. >_> :P

  • http://egamer.co.za/author/razorgene/ Adam

    Hey, Space Marine looks awesome.

    • CyniKill

      Maybe I’m just bad at games but I kept dying during the demo on normal.

    • http://egamer.co.za/ Azhar

      Probably because there is no cover system CyniKill :D You’re not used to it ;)

    • CyniKill

      To be fair I tend to die a lot in games with cover systems as well. :P

      I only managed to get about 10 minutes of the demo in before my Xbox bombed though. I want to play more. ;_;

    • CyniKill

      Oh and I only noticed the Space Marine background now. Gawd, I’m unobservant.

  • Garvin

    Resistance and Fifa FTW!

  • Treble
