Resistance 3 Hits GI Cover, New Main Character Confirmed

It's still one of the most under-appreciated franchises out there in our estimation, and we'll be sure to keep you up-to-date regarding Resistance 3 .

You can grab a ton of information from next month's Game Informer, too. We've recently learned that Insomniac's huge new project will be on the cover, and the details are already starting to leak onto the Internet. According to PS3Center , it seems the first big piece of news is that Nathan Hale will not be returning as the protagonist. Part of the GI feature says "New Main Character," and it seems the new head man will be Joe Capelli. We don't know anything about him just yet but for those hoping to see Hale one more time, you'll be disappointed. Of course, the article goes on to talk about fresh locales and even a new weapon system (possibly), so stay tuned for anything related to Resistance 3 in the coming months. Might it be ready to go for the holiday 2011 season…? Insomniac is usually pretty good about releasing their games on time and even though we don't have an estimated launch window just yet, we're willing to bet that Sony wants it ASAP.  Oh, and we're guessing R3 will be Move and 3D compatible.

In the meantime, guess we'll just have to hope that Killzone 3 turns out well. …such a terrible position to be in, right?

I thought its not a spoiler after the game reaches a certain age?

Akuma – there is definitely a statute of limitations. Technically this game came out less than 2 years ago, so I think it should still fall under the "spoiler-free" category….especially with such an awesome ending. I wouldn't want that ruined for me.

Idk, there are some spoilers that should never be spoken. I had KOTR ruined for me and i was pissed. Other spoilers are just universally known, like Aeris' death, and dont really need to be avoided.

As long as this game brings back the weapon wheel and health bar I'll be happy.

Me too, I hate being in the dark of how much health I have left…

The wheel inventory was awesome, but you know, Insomniac felt they had to pay some sort of "homage" to Gears of War in Resistance 2…

My problem with spoilers is much different than the average gamer.

As a gaming collector, I really need to try & get every game out there that I possibly can.
But since the only way of doing that is to buy most of my games "used" and around $20 or under price-point, plus I have to wait to see if that game is available on the console I need it for(Yes, even multi-plat games), then an older spoiler can most certainly still indeed be a serious spoiler for all of us who are serious gaming collectors.

So far as I'm concern, I don't care how old a 360 game or PS2 or PS3 game is, if I didn't play it yet(and since I'm still buying them), then I consider it a spoiler without the alerts added in.

Hell, I just recently bought & have been playing GTA4 every single free moment(58% through), but unfortunately now I already know who dies at the end, and by who, just because somebody didn't take a additional 5 seconds to add 2 little words……. ***Spoiler Alert***.

Just saying.

SPOILER ALERT: if i remember correctly Corporal Capelli played a big role in resistance 2 i think he is the one that saves hale after he was stabbed in the stomach by Daedalus also at the end hes the one that shoots hale.

Great we get to play as a Guido. That totally sucks monkey balls. I hated that guy, my interest just went way down in this game. What's with all the main-character-fan-betrayal this generation?

Hating on Italians? not cool. Would it be better if he was french?

I hated him because he was a douchecaptain, not because he may be Italian.

Capelli was just one dimensional character as everyone else in Resistance 2…

Didn't hate him, didn't like him…

May be Italian? What "may" he be then?

I'm just saying you shouldn't use guido in a derogatory way just because the guy is a douche. It's the intent behind the word that makes it racially charged.

Not saying I liked the guy, he was a douche. But, his name is Capelli, he isn't Irish.

Would be awesome to play as chimeran Hale, with his newfound power you experienced at the end of R2.

Ooops, spoiler.

They could make it like Bioshock with its plasmids, only you gain Chimeran powers.

@ World

Grow big teeth and bite people? Or maybe claws to scratch… I don't know man, that "newfound power" would be plenty for a game like Resistance…

Uhh, I'm guessing Insomniac could be slightly more creative than that.

He did have the awesome explody powers at the end plus there is also angel's mind control, the chameleon's invisibility, slipskull super jumps, and more.

Ben, if your prediction about Resistance 3 being Move compatible is correct it would be the first game to really make me consider getting Move.

**This post may contain SPOILERS for the Resistance franchise. Read on at your own discretion.**

First of all R3+Move=PSMove Purchase. Secondly, I want the next Game Informer out last week. I must know more about Resistance 3. I'd like to see it return to a style more akin to the original than the sequel.
Next, I hope that it doesn't go third person. leave that for any future PSP iterations.
Fourth, Hale has to return in some form. You cannot simply get rid of him.
Fifth, lead this into a fourth game that will resolve the war between the humans once and for all. And while they're at it, give us more info about the Cloven.
Sixth, I want a PSP iteration in flashback that shows us about the previous rising of the Chimera, why and how the towers were buried and why they were gathering at the Chixculub Crater exactly.
Finally, I want a 2011 release date for this game. Insomniac can do little wrong. But I don't want Capelli, he annoyed me in R2.
Peace.

You don't want much out of this game huh? haha

And essentially you want everything EXCEPT what they are going to give you…which is Capelli.

McClane

IIRC, the Chixculub Crater was the exact location where the previous war against the Chimera ended, with some sort of a weapon of mass destruction that killed all chimera…

If you pay attention to both games and some trailers, almost everything that you write gets an explanation so I don't think there's any need for more games…

I just want to know how the second and final war against the chimera ends…

**SPOILER***

What was the thing at the end of R2??? A moon?? Chimera's home planet?? A full-scale invasion from outer space???

SPOILERS!

As for the Cloven, I understand how they came about and whatnot, but I'd like to know more about THEM and their relationship with the Chimera. All we know is that they were early experiments, and now they're basically just warped humans. I want details.
And I got the feeling that the Chimera were gathering there because they had their own weapon there, and maybe THAT is the thing at the end of the second game. The Chimera were apparently an earlier race than humanity, so I don't think they're aliens at all. Eh, too much thought for too early in the morning.

And I don't really want much out of Resistance 3. I just think that those ideas are a logical procession of events.
Peace.

i doubt it will be move and 3D compatible, insomniac have been quite vocal against it lately.
cant wait for this though, looks like it will be the last game insomniac makes exclusive for the ps3, so its only fitting they go out with a BANG!

as long as insomniac makes ratchet games and Resistance games, it will always be exclusive to ps3

Even if they do go multiplat the worlds in Ratchet and Clank won't be as bright, vivid or amazing to look at as they currently are..

Resistance for me is the dominant FPS, i will certainly be looking forward to hearing more on R3.

As for a new character, well i'm kind of glad due to the events of R2.

I don't mind Nathan's exlcusion, aslong as the story continues properly. I liked Capelli anyways.

im tired of seeing these comments, so here it goes: Nathan will not return in R3, it just wouldn't make sense if you've seen the end of R2, I don't think ANYBODY, half-chimera or otherwise, could come back from THAT
