Some posts here are ignoring the big picture, Resistance never did that well. Like Killzone it was a failed Halo Killer that struggles to sell over 1 million.
Sales For 'Resistance 3' Are Worse Than A Chimera's Smell
'Resistance 3' is one of the better games of the Fall season, but unfortunately it hasn't fared too well at retail. Keep reading for all the details.www.google.com
The real reason for no Resistance 4 is no one was buying the series. At least Killzone 2 and 3 hit the 1 million mark so there was hope for ps4 launch title Shadowfall. But even being a headliner couldnt get that game to sell too well.
Sony dropped FPS for a reason, Destiny was enough.
but stuff like Days Gone…loved the game but definitely too much overlap with TLOU and I’m glad they are working on a new IP
Never cared for the series. The tone was probably too serious for Insomniac. Their creativity in weapon design also felt neutered. The enemies and AI aren't particularly interesting either. And then you have the drab color palette which again doesn't feel very Insomniac-like.
TLOU franchise sold more all those games combined but yes Chiggs wants Resistance 4. Sony make it happen. The real take here is Resistance 4 over Days Gone.I’d take Resistance 4 over TLOU2, but hindsight is 20/20, and it’s not like TLOU2 bombed or anything.
Resistance is very similar to TLOU. What are you talking about? So is Days Gone. This isnt about gameplay. Hence the “overload of post-apocalyptic games“. Sony made the right call. Seeing that Insomniac‘s family-friendly output has been extremely successful, im not sure how they go back to resistance. Spiderman 2 & 3 are sure things. And I dont see how they arent making a co-op Ratchet & Clank after Spiderman 2. As someone that loves Resistance, I hope Bluepoint games is making a Demon Souls level remake of the first 3.Too similar to TLOU, wtf did the decision makers ever even see Resistance?
Imagine releasing a total of one first person shooter all gen and then rejecting the second one because it's too similar to a third person stealth action shooter.
Bizarre decision making over at Sony.
Resistance 1 had a really good atmosphere and clean gameplay.I personally didn't like Resistance 2 I think, didn't try 1 or 3. Would rather have Killzone.
This. Killzone, Days Gone and TLOU are out of the way now. A new Resistance or a remake would look incredibleThat just means it needs to be geeenlit for the PS5 now.
you mean the original killzone 1 on ps2 right?I personally didn't like Resistance 2 I think, didn't try 1 or 3. Would rather have Killzone.
Just released ratchet & clank. Previously released astrobot and sackboy adventure for PS5. Seriously I don't even own a PS and I don't come up with these dumb hot takes.This is SEGA levels of stupid if that is the reason
I bought and still own Resistance 3 good game
sony doesn't seem to care about fun games anymore and cinematic, qte riddin, wokebs
You did everything wrong _ should have bought ps3 with resistance1 the solid fps with less cinematic bull crap. And you should have bought Killzone2 for the same reason, plus the epic multiplayer of the series. In reality you have missed both games.I remember when I bought my ps3 and I got resistance 3 with it. The game was horseshit! I remember just thinking, “fucking hell, this game is nothing compared to halo”.
I enjoyed KillZone 3 waaayyy more. At least the MP in that game was fun. So yea, I couldn’t care less resistance series died. I heard 2 was pretty cool for the time. But I was too busy on the 360 which was the undisputed FPS king of that generation.
1. You don’t know how much the series would sale, with things like a remaster for ps4 (like TLOU had to introduce the game to new players) and with the fact that this past Gen everything from hardware to software sold a lot more than ps3 Gen, including exclusives.TLOU franchise sold more all those games combined but yes Chiggs wants Resistance 4. Sony make it happen. The real take here is Resistance 4 over Days Gone.

Counterpoint, Resistance 3 was one of the few interesting shooters around that time period because it didn't try to be another Call of Duty knock-off and instead took a lot from Half-Life 2.I remember when I bought my ps3 and I got resistance 3 with it.

Looks like there are Resistance fans here, but that franchise faltered badly (Resistance 3 itself was something of a reboot after R2 was not the blockbuster/online phenomenon it was built to be,) and the third game especially was a dour product that really needed fans to love it for itself because from the outside it was selling a depressing experience compared to the big-monster thrills of even the second game.
My avatar says it all, what a fantastic franchise. So my heart is broken when I read this, this is so sad But if you really think about it, the post-apocalyptic setting was indeed stacked at the time, but their representation of post-apo world is so vastly different you don't really notice it at first glance, or at all even. So that brings the question if there really wasn't any room left for Res4, which is basically about an alien invasion, and an FPS which even more distinguishes it from the rest of the titles? But then again, Sony shifted entirely on making 3rd party story-driven/cinematic games, so Resistance didn't fit their portfolio.
Res2 was what killed the franchise, in many ways. The initial reveal trailer of RFoM had this mystery surrounding the story, that some experiments in Russia went wrong, terribly wrong, and somehow you were able to not only survive the virus, but it has actually strengthen you and created this sort of a hybrid. To this day for me it's one of the most intriguing trailer ever:
But then in Res2 turns out the Chimera is just an ordinary alien race from outer space, and Hale is no one special and there are literally armies of people like him in the US. That was the story twist the franchise could never recover from, while I was personally hoping for the sequel to take place in Russia, with an investigation-type of campaign in Siberia or something, discovering all that mistery behind Chimera, what was the experiment about, what/why it went so wrong, who's behind it, and ultimately finding a cure or at least a way to fight back against Chimera.
And then there's the awful gameplay, which turned the game into poor man's CoD clone, with no weapon wheel and two gun limit instead, no HP bad in favor of auto-regen. And the MP with its 60 players was nothing but a chaotic clusterfuck, which was the complete opposite of RFom which remained as one of the most skill-based FPS throughout entire PS3 generation.
The sequel did so much damage on so many fronts that not many people wanted to give Res3 a shot anymore, which was arguably one of the best FPS of PS360 gen in both SP and MP mode. RFom was the very first title made for PS3, and with the console's rough launch it obviously couldn't be god knows how popular, but in 2008 when Res2 launched there were more than enough people to elevate the franchise into something big, but IG dropped the ball, plus CoD4 happened in the meantime which made things even harder. And then like I said, Sony decided to focus solely on TPP games. But rumor says Sony is willing to get back to MP games, and with IG being so successful recently and therefore most likely having a much greater creative freedom, there is a chance for resurrecting or rebooting the Resistance franchise.
I can see your POV. I just don’t think it was well done though. I actually still own it and tried to continue it a few months ago but i find it really quite poor. I found the enemy ai was a bit dumb and the weapons a bit lacklustre.Counterpoint, Resistance 3 was one of the few interesting shooters around that time period because it didn't try to be another Call of Duty knock-off and instead took a lot from Half-Life 2.
I personally didn't like Resistance 2 I think, didn't try 1 or 3. Would rather have Killzone.
We should get remaster trilogy's of both Resistance and Killzone as compensation.
Whichever sells the most gets a new game greenlighted.
if xbox can keep gears of war at their worst time, i will have hard time believing sony will just drop it. ).
