GENERAL INFO

October 26th 2006:
I felt it was time to bring up the official thread for whats possibly Sonys biggest title of the year and whats a huge testament to Insomniacs talent as a standalone developer. Not only are they going to ship a game that will become a strong contender for the game of 2006, they are shipping what is quite possibly the most important title for the PS3s infant year, promoting both the system as well as Sonys new PlayStation network online service. And they are shipping it on day one. Here are the basic facts from Insomniacs own page:
In Resistance: Fall of Man, US and British forces band together in a last-ditch effort to save England from a horrific scourge -- the Chimera. This parasitic species infects other life forms with a virus that rapidly mutates victims into new Chimera. In mere decades this race has ripped apart populations across Asia and Europe and by 1951 has landed on the shores of England. You play the part of US Army Ranger Nathan Hale fighting alongside a group of British resistance soldiers to free the country from the Chimera and to halt their spread across the globe.
Insomniac Games has combined its passion for creating exotic weapons and vehicles with its proprietary physics system to create a unique human and Chimeran arsenal.
Encounter a wide variety of fluidly moving characters and creatures that exhibit sophisticated behaviors and interact believably with each other and with intricate environments.
A powerful proprietary rendering engine allows a greater variety of highly detailed and interactive environments resulting in an immersive console FPS experience. Experience the chaos of large, crowded battlefields and tense close combat within infested military command centers and decimated urban landscapes based on real locations in Great Britain.
Features a story-driven single player campaign with multiple difficulty levels, co-op play through the single player campaign, offline multiplayer and one of the most complete online multiplayer offerings on a console.
Greater processing power with PlayStation 3, higher storage capacity with BluRay and Dolby 7.1 surround sound output provide a truly immersive experience with next gen sights and sounds.
The game has now officially been released worldwide and has the honor of being the first million+ selling title on the system. It's also Insomniacs fastest selling title ever. Grats!
To learn more about the back story then visit this excellent and well presented site:
*Updated as of 11/17* (Now frozen with ice) Now covers years from 1898 to July 1951.
The website is complete though the absolute complete time line can be found in the official strategy guide.

Various comments on the game:
Luke Smith (Bungie): I bless this game. I was thrilled playing it... I'm looking forward to seeing what's under the rest of Resistance's hood.
Sterling McGarvey (Gamespy): Looks, handles, and feels like one of the best console FPS titles we've played since fighting Covenant and Flood.
Cliffy B (Epic): It looks... solid.
Chris Roper (IGN): The first-person shooter looks to be everything that a killer launch app should be -- it's original, looks fantastic and makes true use of Sony's next-generation console.
Ted Price: I dig it.
OPM had the world exclusive review (which was printed in their December 06 issue) and according to Joe Rybicki, the reviewer: it is a really really good game........it is a really really good game...........it is a really really good game.........between single player and online, it is very very entertaining.
One of the best interviews of 2006 and it's all about Resistance and Insomniac. Highly recommended:
Interview with Insomniacs Market & Communication executive and Lead Multiplayer designer. The interview starts 26mins into this. A lot of great humor and insight.
