Resistance was one of the flagship franchises from the PlayStation 3 era, but it’s been missing in action since the disappointing PlayStation Vita spin-off Resistance: Burning Skies released in 2012. Insomniac Games, to its credit, is renowned for reinventing itself in subsequent generations, moving from the likes of Spyro the Dragon to Ratchet & Clank and now Marvel’s Spider-Man. But what are the chances of the Chimera ever making a comeback?
“It feels like it’s a longshot to me,” community director James Stevenson told Australian website Finder. “But I have learned over the years to never say never. I think there are a lot of people out there that have fond memories of a Resistance game from the PS3, but yeah, never say never, it’s just that we have no plans to make another Resistance game in the future.”
Stevenson mentioned that Sony does own the intellectual property, so it could put another developer at the helm if it really wanted to. Personally, we think the ship has sailed for this series; Killzone was always the better seller of the two, so it feels like the more likely first-person franchise that could get revived. We liked the Resistance games a lot, though – particularly for their interesting armaments, which remained imaginative right throughout the entire main trilogy.

Oh go on! Resistance 3 is easily top 5 for fps single player for me.
Yeah, I really liked the Resistance trilogy, and the Sony Bend one on PSP. The weaponry was really fun in that series. To be honest, I'd probably play remasters.
Resistance multilayer and online coop was my favourite shooter of PS3 gen. I really enjoyed the story too.
One thing that impressed me most about Resistance is not once on any did I ever experience any lag or connection issues. I still get issues on games today and for whatever reason the Resistance game were just so stable for online play for me.
Resistance 3 was spot on imo. Really enjoyed it. Burning skies wasnt a terrible game mind. Enjoyed it enough to get the platinum at least
@get2sammyb loved FoM. That and Motorstorm were my first PS3 games.
2 was alright, but I could do with playing again.
Didn't play Retribution. Burning Skies wasn't as awful as most make out, but it was lacking polish and was way too easy I thought.
Maybe instead of 4, maybe a reboot. But I'll accept either. Just keep being awesome insomniac.
My 4th favorite franchises ever word up son
I'd pre-order today if Insomniac simply gave the nod
1. Grand theft auto. 2. God of war. 3. Syphon filter. 4. Resistance. My top 4 favorite franchises ever.make it happen word up son
@get2sammyb Fall Of Man and 3 we're great, 2 was a huge misstep for me for me
@KALofKRYPTON my first 2 PS3 games as well Fall Of Man's MP was a blast
It’d be pretty cool to get a remastered trilogy for this series if nothing else. Maybe include the psp version too. I’d buy it for sure
I'd be more than happy to smash through a trilogy remaster of these.
And Resistance 2 multiplayer was essentially a Battle Royale too...
They should totally relaunch M.A.G!!
It would be nice if they released a Resistance Trilogy Remastered for the PS4. I never played any of them, but they do look very cool.
Seriously I don't think R2 online servers where on for as long as they should have been I loved the co op game
They could easily continue the story by having a go at it in the 70s-80s.
@LaNooch1978 it was a bit. The story and the weapons though...
It’s a great series, I would love if they release a new game or at least the trilogy remastered.
Insomniac is really busy nowadays, Spider-Man will probably be a series and I bet (hope) they will make more Ratchet & Clank too.
I would buy it day one loved all 3 of the games. would love a trilogy remastered as well.
hoping the Infamous games are getting remastered too!
I'd love to see what happened to any survivors in Russia and Europe. RFM on PS3 kept me and mates very happy at launch. Miss the epic humies vs alien FPS storylines...
I played R2 soooo much, especially the co-op.
i re-played resistance 3 about 18 months ago, and it still holds up remarkably well. one of the best FPS campaigns of the PS3 era imo, and much better than the first two. the multiplayer was decent enough as well, and very stable. not sure there'd be much point remastering it though, unless they were to do a shadow of the colossus or ratchet & clank style remake on it.
Resistance
Doom
Wolfenstein
No other FPSs will ever will ever come close for me.
Loved the first game... the single-player was good, and it's the only game I've ever played and enjoyed regularly online; in fact, some friends and I even spawned a little clan for the sole purpose of playing it.
The second game I didn't enjoy quite so much, to be honest. Don't know why, it just didn't click in the same way. And although I was in the SCEE beta, I didn't bother with the third game at all.
Burning Skies I found a bit 'meh', but if I remember rightly that was mostly due to the strange control scheme they had on PSP thanks to the lack of a right analogue stick. That's one game which really could have done with a remaster on the Vita!
I never played this series, would much rather have another Ratchet & Clank game.
I really like Resistance 3. The gameplay & the story are both great!
Really impressed the gameplay can switch between Doom style shoot-em-up & Resident Evil style horror survival from levels to levels...
Great games to play with varying degrees of multiplayer. And the best part is, they can still be played locally since they all have splitscreen in some form.
The servers may be down, but you can still play with a friend or family via comp or coop. Prime example as to why local splitscreen/shared-screen is so important.
Games with online only end up being trash in 5-10 years since there's nothing to do alone (Except shed a tear.)
RESISTANCE Franchise...is in my top 5 ALL-TIME PS games... XBOX X 2020 is games backwards compatible...SONY's new 2020 console (apparently) will not be??
Makes me think about jumping ship for the first time since XBOX 360.
This SHOULD be a PLAYSTATION PLUS game!!
PLAYSTATION 4 & 5 CONSOLES not being backwards compatible????...I'm looking at XBOX online subscriptions now!!
