One of the most exciting prospects about Resistance 3 is the return of Fall Of Man's "Weapon Wheel"
The feature, which was conspicuously absent in Resistance 2, resulted in a massive back-lash from fans of the series. The "Weapon Wheel" is such a key aspect to the Resistance series, that Insomniac's managed to base an entire developer...
News Resistance 3 Is Making a Right Bloody Mess
Guts everywhere
When it's released in September, Resistance 3 has a few tricks up its sleeve to entice PS3 owners to pick it up.

News Insomniac Games 'Dedicated' To PlayStation 3 Fanbase, 'Loves' Us Apparently
There's a lot of unwarranted vitriol being thrown at Insomniac Games over its new multiplatform project
From where we're sitting, it's unfair. Insomniac has been one of the strongest supporters of the PlayStation platform for years, and none of that goodwill should evaporate just because it's going to release a game on the XBOX 360. After all, let's...
E3 2011 Insomniac Games Announce EA Partners Project, Four-Player Co-Op Shooter Named Overstrike
There's the charm of Ratchet & Clank mixed in with the grit of Resistance in Insomniac's first EA Games published project

News The Weapons In Resistance 3 Are Chunky
Insomniac's released a new batch of multiplayer footage for Resistance 3
The first thing we noticed about the gameplay is just how chunky all the weapons sound. Everything from the standard assault rifle to magnum (with Resistance 2's exploding bullets) sound deadly. It's a far-cry from the previous game's rather tepid feeling arsenal. The new...

News Resistance: Fall Of Man & Resistance 2 Packed Up In Beefy Greatest Hits Collection
Resistance: Fall Of Man is amazing

News Resistance 3's Box Art is Frankly Superb
Don't believe us?
As much as we love the ongoing battle between humans and Chimeras, we never thought Resistance 3 and art would be such happy bedfellows, but the newly revealed box art for the upcoming shooter is nothing short of superb. The artwork comes from the desk of respected UK artist Olly Moss, whose style harks back to Saul Bass's...
News Resistance 3's Boxart Is Totally Not What You'd Expect...
Resistance 3's boxart is weird
We haven't decided yet whether it's weird in an "OMG that's so awesome" or "OMG what were they thinking" kind of way. We'll leave that up to you. One thing's for sure: it's going to stand out on retail shelves like a sore-thumb. Which in many ways is a good thing. The image, which depicts a Chimeran...
News Resistance 3 Single-Player Demo To Come Packaged With Battle: Los Angeles
The value of the Battle: Los Angeles Blu-ray has just soared
We're not interested in the movie [apparently it's awful - Ed], but we are totally hyped about the Resistance 3 single-player demo that's set to be included alongside the film. Oh marketing departments. The Blu-ray will feature the infamous "boat" level that Insomniac's been...

Visit Pennsylvania
Last week saw Insomniac Games hold a closed-doors event for gaming media, during which journalists got to take on the company's Move-enabled shooter Resistance 3.

News Resistance 3 Shoots For The Atmosphere Of Its Debut
Insomniac's released eight-minutes of new Resistance 3 footage
The gameplay showcases the boat-road sequence from the game's original debut. There's some criticism flowing around the 'net that the whole section looks boring, but we're falling in love with Resistance 3's atmosphere. The thick fog, the stirring water, the colour palette — it looks...
News Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One Continues To Look Like Top Fun On PlayStation 3
We're warming up to it
Y'know, co-op never seemed like the natural direction for the Ratchet & Clank series so we were sceptical when All 4 One was announced. But the more we see of it, the more impressed we get. Insomniac's chaotic four-player take on the comical platformer series looks like straight-up good fun. There's very little pretense...

Seems a fair deal
The ongoing assembly line of Sony first-person shooters and their accompanying betas and demos is a smart move on Sony's part, keeping gamers engaged with a constant supply of anticipation-building action.

Insomniac Game's going all out with Resistance 3, confirming support for the PlayStation Move, Sharpshooter and 3D televisions at a community event over night
To be honest, after Killzone 3's fantastic implementation of both technologies, we'd be disappointed if they weren't in the game. It just makes sense to give players as many options as...

News GDC 2011: Insomniac Tighten Up Resistance 3's Multiplayer, Lower The Player-Count
While Resistance 2's epic 60-person multiplayer battles were kind of fun in a chaotic way, ultimately they suffered from uneven pacing and a real lack of focus

News Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One Makes Even The Ugliest Of Carnivorous Fish Look Friendly
Qwarkward
The only problem with Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One is that only one player can assume the role of Captain Qwark. We predict straw drawing and angrily exchanged PlayStation Network messages. See while Ratchet's side-kick Clank, and nemesis Nefarious are cool, they pale in significance to the adorably arrogant Qwark. The latest gameplay...
Resistance: Fall Of Man was brilliant
Resistance 2 had its moments. But judging by this new gameplay clip of Resistance 3, Insomniac's really stepped up their game. The footage includes a quick glimpse at Resistance 3's "Weapon Wheel" — one of fan's most demanded features after it was removed from Resistance 2. It also looks pretty...
