Insomniac Games creative director Marcus Smith wrote a great (and spoiler filled!) Resistance 3 post on the PlayStation Blog. I know that a few of you are high on this game and probably anxious to see the new footage at the Spike TV Videogame Awards. Hopefully Smith’s post will tide you over. Here’s an excerpt:
First of all, the main protagonist in Resistance 3 is Joseph Capelli, the Sentinel who (HUGE RESISTANCE 2 SPOILERS HERE… if you haven’t played it yet, go buy a Greatest Hits copy now!) was forced to kill Nathan Hale at the end of R2. Capelli was dishonorably discharged, and four years later is living in hiding with his wife, Susan, and son, Jack, along with other survivors in the town of Haven, Oklahoma. He’s given up fighting, and is now just trying to hide and survive the Chimeran death squads that roam the planet. But when Dr. Malikov arrives with an opportunity to deliver a blow to the Chimera, Capelli embarks on a road trip to New York City. Resistance 3 is a tale of Capelli’s heroic journey across the country as he encounters the remnants of humanity left in the aftermath of the brutal invasion.
After reading more about R3’s story, I’m more interested in the game. The plot seems more interesting this time around. What do you ladies and gents think?
Hopefully it isn't so incomplete feeling as R2. I'd also like them to not use cutscenes for the story, do what they did in the first game.
I like the story in the Resistance series but the online part of the game can use some upgrading from Resistance 2.
I liked Resistance 1…just not enough to finish it. R2 was much better and I loved the ending. Looking forward to 3.
