To be honest I think the OP needs to reword his post so that it's crystal clear what's going on here. That's why so many people are like WUHHHHH and heaps of people are like YOU DUMBASS JUST READ THE OP when the OP is worded pretty stupidly. =/

Yeah. People think this is coming out this year or next year.

It looks like a 2011 release (wow that sounds so far away) obviously if the film it is being advertised in with a billboard is scheduled for a 2011 release.

February 2011. Are they really going to advertise Resistance 3 that far in advance?

Besides, for better or worse Insomniac has been releasing games yearly for the past decade. It'd be nice for them to take some extra time with R3 but I doubt it.

They aren't advertising for it now, they're advertising it in the film which is in the future.

 

[Lagspike_exe]

February/March 2011. would be awesome for a release date.
That would give them those extra few months they NEED to polish up their game.

Since I adored Resistance 2's multiplayer (especially the awesome co-op) this is a sure buy from me.

It'll be released at the same time it's always released: Fall. Expect Fall 2011 and teaser website alongside the movie, with the website URL in the black bar CGI-ed later into the movie.

 

[Goldrusher]

Why not Fall 2010 ?

It makes more sense to advertise for a game released 2 - 3 months ago, than for one that's 9 months away.
Besides, what else would Insomniac release in Fall 2010 ?

 

[Loudninja]

I hope people don't really think this will come out in 2011?

 

[TTP]

Of course is fall 2010. No question about it.

Battle: Los Angeles
It's a Columbia Pictures movie (which is owned by Sony)
Release date: 18 February 2011 (USA)
Source: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1217613/

Yup, I was just going to post this. I'm actually surprised that Sony hasn't tried to set up a Resistance film project yet. Then again, this might suggest that somewhere in Columbia they are at least thinking about it.

Without a Marvel or DC Comics division their SCE games division and it's IPs is the closest thing they have to a staple of 'superheroes'.

Oh..., by the way. I tried reading the script for this film and it was, almost unreadable, absolutely terrible.

I'm sure it's been reworked since then, but it's still one of the worst 'studio level' scripts I've read in years. Blargh.

 

[four-two]

I think the game is gonna use the Motion Controller.

 

[Fersis]

I hope people don't really think this will come out in 2011?

Let us dream.

I dunno if its Insomniac's or SCEA decission to release a game each year, but R3 should be given more full production time.

 

[The Bookerman]

From wiki:

"Battle: Los Angeles revolves around a Marine staff sergeant (Eckhart) and his new platoon's battle against an alien invasion on the streets of Los Angeles."

Exciting. //sarcasm.

was hoping for this:

 

[dalin80]

Statue of Liberty? I was just saying in that wish-list thread they should forget Europe and attack NY or some other US City.:lol

R2 already had already forgotten about europe.

when the first R2 media was released and fans expressed concerns with various issues (including then retarded 2 weapon system) insomniac brushed those concerns aside with 'trust us its awesome!!'

hopefully that doesn't happen again, although after the backlash it looks like insomniac ditched gaf.

iam going to have to stop typing now or i will carry on rage listing everything i hated in R2.

Wut?
JS keeps posting pretty often... often like two days ago

 

[web01]

You think they would just use a green screen and then add in the advertisments into these movies during post production when they are more certain about the game.

 

[spats]

Certainly an interesting way to announce something.

Resistance 2 gets way too much shit. It's just that it's not as good as the first one.

Looking forward to R3.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Awesome news. If the game is like 1, I'll buy it. If it's like 2, no chance in hell.

 

[Totobeni]

I don't see SCEA ( actually entire SCEWW ) forcing any 2nd party to release a game every year.

see all of their 1st party studios from ND to Bend to GG to Team Ico and others , they gave them all the time they want , SCE delays games like no others , hell see 2nd party they work with Sucker Punch ,Eat Sleep Play, MM , Quantic dream , no one doing this game per year crap.


I don't believe at all that Sony forcing them , it's just Insomniac's decision.

 

[JB1981]

I think they should scrap the series and start a new FPS franchise from scratch ..... I can't believe how soulless and devoid of personality the sequel was. Quite surprising when you consider how much personality the Ratchet and Clank series has. I'm convinced this studio doesn't do well with dark and grim themes.

 

[Shambles]

I dunno, something about this doesn't seem right. Why on earth would they put up this weak billboard in the middle of nowhere? This isn't a normal billboard on a permanant fixture, it's merely a mini-sized billboard that is up on some cheap timber. I could have built this myself, although the printing looks good on the sign. Also, why is there the black box on the bottom of the sign like something was redacted? The pictures look real enough but the situation is odd enough for me to call shenanigans on this.

I'm guessing it's some sort of school project...

Seriously, why do so many people read the title, look at the picture, and then make a post? Learn to read guys.

 

[Jostifer]

I don't think all the advertising necessarily has to come before the game. Kinda how Halo/X360 or Cod4 has appeared in tv-shows and movies post release.

In Feb 2011 a November 2010 game is still in the public highlight.

 

[Jubs]

Cautiously optimistic. There is potential with this series, but R2 nearly farted all that away.

I hope the majority of the game does take place in NY. Jumping around the United States was too disjointing of an experience for me in R2.

 

[Shambles]

Reading into the 2nd page I see what's going on. Yeah that OP is worded pretty retardedly. Carry on.

Resistance: Retribution have personality and RFOM soul , Resistance 2 failed because Insomniac turned it to one shitty COD clone with aliens.

before killing the IP because just one shitty game , Insomniac should think about a 3rd person shooter Resistance game on PS3 , for 3 reasons.

1- Resistance: Retribution.
2- Killzone is PS3 main exclusive FPS , PS3 need game it's Gears now ( aka 3rd person shooter - cover based )
3- Insomniac's I-8 engine work better for 3rd person games.

The PS3 already has its Gears of War, it's called Uncharted.

How did you come to this conclusion?

 

[Totobeni]

How did you come to this conclusion?

Ratchet 60fps and amazing graphics , Resistance 30fps and shitty graphics

 

[BattleMonkey]

Resistance 1 was more halo like in feel, R2 just blatantly tried to be like COD. Go back to the more open feeling of R1 please!

Still can't believe so many not reading the thread though and questioning the reason for the billboard :lol

Perhaps it will be early 2011 release, get it out of the busy holiday season, and give it extra 4-5 months in dev. Perhaps they are taking to heart all the complaints at how rushed R2 felt.

Ratchet 60fps and amazing graphics , Resistance 30fps and shitty graphics

And your dealing with completely different and demanding graphical settings. R&C gets away with alot because it's got the cartoony look to its universe, while Resistance is more taxing on the engine trying to be "realistic".

 

[Lagspike_exe]

Ratchet 60fps and amazing graphics , Resistance 30fps and shitty graphics

...

 

[FleckSplat]

the heck? thast below average for LA..



yes

How can a billboard be an ad in a movie?

 

[-viper-]

Ratchet 60fps and amazing graphics , Resistance 30fps and shitty graphics

Resistance 1 had good graphics (for it's time)

Resistance 2 had too much focus on scale, hence the crap graphics. However, Chicago looked AWESOME in the game.

 

[Totobeni]

...

all Ratchet Future and Resistance using the same engine.

Resistance 1 had good graphics (for it's time)

Resistance 2 had too much focus on scale, hence the crap graphics. However, Chicago looked AWESOME in the game.

and Ratchet Future 1 look pixar-ish with 60FPS

I hate Chicago level , it's ugly , and R2 run in 30fps so yeah.

anyway , if R3 is indeed FPS , Sony should give Insomniac KZ2 engine , their own engine is outfuckindated by Sony first party standards.

 

[Lagspike_exe]

all Ratchet Future and Resistance using the same engine .

Scene complexity and the post processing effects are vastly different in Ratchet and Resistance.

It's not like they could just switch from 1st to 3rd person and magically gain 30 frames per second.

 

[xintin]

Well, I guess I have incentive to play R2 now. RFoM was one of my early favorites this gen but the R2 beta really was a disappointing thing.

With New York so close to the coast maybe we'll somehow end up in Europe again, too.

 

[BattleMonkey]

How can a billboard be an ad in a movie?

Called product placement. Just like how they were showing off SONY Blu Ray players in Casino Royale.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

I really loved/love Resistance 2. It's awesome and I can't wait for R3

 

[Totobeni]

Called product placement. Just like how they were showing off SONY Blu Ray players in Casino Royale.

yeah , same thing in other Sony Pictures movies too.

they even made Adam Sandler's Reign over me focus on SOTC , they are just loyal to their brand I guess.

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

Haw did R2 sell?, It seems this gen Sony are determined to make franchise no matter how poorly the games tern out.

It was the fastest selling Insomniac Games' title in their history.

I think JStevenson said that they are near 1 million sold units in the USA alone, but take that with a grain of sail, since I don't remember the exact quote clearly.

 

[polyh3dron]

Already advertising? Crappy rush job just like two. Well done.

This.

 

[BrainZEROX]

Fall 2011 would mean Resistance 3 vs Modern Warfare 3 I guess?

and maybe Killzone 3

 

[LQX]

Ok now I get it. So there filming the movie and that's why the billboard is up, it's not up for advertisement but so they can film it for its place in the movie. I was getting perplexed at how the hell can there be a billboard for a movie with no mention of the movie.

 

[dogmaan]

I wish more games would take place in the UK, it was awesome fighting through 50's alien invaded.......Somerset?

Yeah. It's a film prop.

 

[Y2Kev]

This.

Did you read the OP? It's a prop in a movie that's releasing more than a year away.

BUT

It doesn't mean that they can't be advertising the game AFTER it has been released.

 

[DigiMish]

I feel the thread title desperately needs to be changed to Resistance 3 billboard spotted or something of the like. 'Announced' is so not the right word here.
