Okay so I hooked up my PS3 lately, and I decided to buy some games lost to time and Sony's brilliant BC strategy. I order a batch for a few bucks a piece, Infamous 2, Virtua Tennis 3, Motorstorm Pacific Rift and this fucker, Resistance 3.
When I played this shit on PS3 for the first time, which was when the game was being discounted, I was surprised. In fact, this was the best FPS campaign I had played in a long ass time and I regret not supporting it when it came out. So I always had this game in my mind and for a few bucks I decided to just buy it again.
I expected something so ugly and unplayable, that it would make my eyes bleed. Partially this is true, the game IS very low res. But, I was hooked and played until Chapter 8 in one go. This game is ridiculously good. First of all, the graphics. Yes, its 30fps and sometimes lower and yes its sub-HD. But, the art direction is flawless and in some weird way the graphics work well since the game looks gritty and has this noise filter turned on too. The attention to detail is nice and the amount of post processing effects thrown around here are impressive. There is a beautiful game hidden in here, all it would've needed is a resolution and framerate bump. Perhaps one day we will see.
The sound is good, the VA is good (I knew it was Atkin Downes!), the cast is good and the atmosphere is good. The weapons are fucking brilliant. Like, the Deadeye sniper with wallhack, the .44 with remote detonate explosive bullets, and ofcourse the aimbot Bullseye. And you level them up by simply using them. The pacing of the campaign is perfect, its almost impossible to put down once you start.
In fact, Resistance was an awesome trilogy. I loved the first one too but it probably feels too outdated now. I never felt the second much but I know its co-op was sort of well appreciated by many. So Insomniac, stop with that MCU shit and bring this franchise back?
