Insomniac's Ted Price comments on the end of the Resistance series

Insomniac Games CEO Ted Price posted a YouTube video where he comments on yesterday's reveal that the company is done with the Resistance series.

"I did want to confirm it face-to-face that we are not moving on with the Resistance franchise," he said. "Now, a question we’ve gotten through our forums and through e-mails is ‘why’? Well, we believe that Resistance has reached its logical conclusion in terms of the story we wanted to tell. However, that doesn’t mean the Resistance franchise isn’t continuing"

True. While Insomniac themselves aren't continuing the franchise, Sony is bringing Resistance: Burning Skies to the PlayStation Vita this year, which closes the gap between Resistance 2 and 3.

Insomniac is now focusing on their multiplatform co-operative shooter, Overstrike, which Sony has wished their best of luck on.

Insomniac done with Resistance

The fight against the Chimera is officially over, as Insomniac Games says its done with Nathan Hale and the Resistance franchise.

"We won't be making anymore Resistances," Insomniac CEO Ted Price said to VG247 during an interview. 

The series at least ended on a high note, as Resistance 3 is easily the best in the series, in both single-player and multiplayer aspects. The campaign finally found that somber tone it seemed to have been looking for all this time, and the multiplayer learned that, sometimes, less is more.

Resistance 3's wave-based "Brutality" DLC out today

Although a bit late to this particular party, but nonetheless, Resistance 3 will be getting its own version of the ever-popular wave-based survival mode.

The "Brutality" downloadable add-on is available on the PlayStation Store today for $3.99, and has you facing off against endless waves of Grims. You'll be able to utilize both firearms and the powerful sledgehammer from the campaign.

There's only one map, "Wales," but it's in a darker form than that of the single-player level. Even stil, those with a thirst for more wave-based gameplay can now enjoy it with the inventive weapons Insomniac Games delivers.

Resistance 3 patch adds two new maps, tweaks

Resistance 3 Patch 1.05 is available for download today and among its gameplay tweaks and enhancements, it adds two new maps to the fray--the 16-player map "Creek," and the four-player map "The Granary."

In terms of those gameplay tweaks, Patch 1.05 adds improved team balancing, network lag fixes, and improved PlayStation Move performance. Oh, and those pesky Leaper Corpses will spawn fewer leapers. Hooray!

Check out Patch 1.05 in its entirety here.

Resistance 3 demo now available

The fight for humanity against the Chimeran onslaught has been going on for a little while now, if you haven't already heard. Its final leg released last month in the form of Resistance 3, and if you weren't sure if you should pick up Insomniac Games' latest shooter, you can now play the newly released demo which is available on the PlayStation Store. 

Additionally, this isn't the Mississippi River level that we've seen earlier this year. Insomniac confirmed on Twitter that the level is "Haven Tower Defense," a pretty hectic level if I recall correctly. 

First Resistance 3 add-on released, free maps to follow

The first Resistance 3 multiplayer add-on, "Survival," is now available to download on the PlayStation Store for $3.99. It brings the new "Invasion" game variant to its online component, where both teams scramble to acquire multiple control points for the most amount of time, as well as adds a handful of multiplayer skins: Herbert, Glenda, Jean, and Charlie. A static Survivor concept art XBM theme is also included.

Patch 1.05 is also being worked on at the moment, which will not only address numerous issues to Resistance 3's multiplayer but will add two new (and free) multiplayer maps to the rotation -- Creek, and the Granary. Be on the lookout for this one in the near future.

Resistance 3 patch addresses a lot

Resistance 3 patch 1.02 is now available for download, addressing a lot of outstanding issues to the game's multiplayer. Insomniac Games does apologize for having two major patches right after Resistance 3's launch, but remember, the public beta had a ton of issues, so we can't be too hard on them.

Lag, framerate, and server issues will be further addressed in a future update, so be on the lookout for that soon.

• Players should no longer get into “dead” games that don’t operate correctly
• Improvement in framerate/lag
• Matchmaking fixes
• Fewer players floating / clipping through environment
• Fix for freezing/crashing issues if you join a game as it is ending
• Can no longer leave party while in a co-op game (was causing a crash)
• Party fixes dealing with multiple invites, co-op
• Some SFX in St. Louis have been cleaned up
• Broadway map now loads games correctly
• Fixed issues when late-joining a campaign co-op game
• Multiple fixed issues on Chapter 13 in co-op
• Female voice over will now play for female skins in MP
• Player using Hazmat ability will no longer appear to catch fire or freeze
• Other various lobby, menu, co-op and multiplayer fixes

Resistance 3 getting first DLC next month

Resistance 3, just released today, is already slated for downloadable content on October 4. Priced at $3.99, the "Survival" pack includes a brand new Invasion mode for multiplayer, challenging both sides to "capture and hold multiple control points for as long as possible."

Also included are a "Survival" multiplayer skin and XMB static theme.

Resistance 3's double-sided box art is badass

As if Resistance 3's box art wasn't sleek and eye-catching already, Insomniac posted on their Twitter that the original cover is also reversible, with the other side containing another awesome graphic, this time without any of the extraneous logos and banners. Thanks!

Resistance 3 is set to launch in North America next Tuesday, and the beta will be available to all starting today. How pumped are you guys for the next installment in the Chimeran saga?

Resistance 3's beta cap raised to 30, and some new equipment added

Insomniac Games' beta for Resistance 3 has been going through a rough time, with constant updates dropping and nuisances such as server lag severely plaguing the game's playability. There is some good news, though, with the reveal of the beta's leveling cap being raised to 30--originally capped at 20--along with the addition of a new weapon and two new abilities. The level cap was "immediate," so you should notice it the next time you log-in.

The tweet didn't specify what equipment was added, so we'll just have to play and see.
