Resistance gets two updates

Resistance: Fall of Man to get new online, spectator modes to coincide with Euro-PS3 launch.

PlayStation 3 fans have a lot to look forward to on March 23. Not only does Sony's console finally get released in Europe and Australia on that date, but the popular PS3 shooter Resistance: Fall of Man is also set to receive some additions to its online gameplay via a new update.

The update will contain two new online modes--team conversion and assault. Team conversion is similar to the existing conversion mode, except that both teams will start off as human and have one life on each side. The objective in assault mode is to wear down opponents' defenses before destroying their base. Also added will be a new spectator camera, which lets viewers observe from any player's point of view or free-roam across a battlefield.

A further update will also be released in May featuring two new multiplayer maps. One of the maps is set in Westmorland, England, and will feature the snowy hills of northern Great Britain. The other map is set in Camborn, England, where players will be able to take part in both aboveground and subterranean combat. The May update will also introduce new global matchmaking and leaderboard options. Sony has not announced pricing for the new maps.

Resistance: Fall of Man is rated M for Mature and retails for $59.99. For more information, read GameSpot's review.

    Looks like Insomniac is taking a page from Epic's playbook and trying to support their games beyond the typical six-month online play period. The patch will help to reinvigorate the game just as many European and Australian gamers are ready to join the fray.

    On the other hand, the need for global leaderboards and matchmaking shows just how far behind the PlayStation Network truly is.

    I'm glad to see this update come so soon, team conversion sounds sweet, and if Assault is anything like Time Splitters 3, then bring it (or Killzone for that matter)... I just hope they add support for LAN play. That's the only issue I have with this game is no LAN play =/ not that I have many friends with a ps3 and resistance XD but it would be a very nice change, especially for some sort of event.

    -Damn, Sunsetsonata! I couldn't have said it better myself. Down with the "Lamers" they don't deserve a console to begin with. -Devilzrule27- yea man it's as if people already forgot that 360 didn't have sh8 worth buying at launch besides CoD2 (keep in mind some people don't like shooters leaving them with nothing worth buying).

    It's nice to see them update an already great game!! Sony has NOT charged for any upgrades ...yet. Unlike ( my ) stupid 360, let's charge for wallpaper, let's charge for almost EVERYTHING !!!!!! PS3 is gaining steam....

    I have all 3 systems: ps3, wii, 360. cause im a real gamer and i appreciate what each system has to offer. so i laugh at all the people still bickering about how lame one system is and how theirs is better. grow up. or get a job and go buy the other systems so u arent bitter anymore.

    Excellent news for those who have imported the console and the game itself.

    From May, I'll be able to play my friends as I live in the UK with a JAP console. And I'll get to challenge the U.S players!! YAY!

    Making a good game better, good idea but I would rather get some more good games right about now. There are only a couple games out right now. but thats natural for a new system. I mean there was nothing for me to do with my 360 until last march too.

    You know, if I played Resistance then I bet I would like it but for now, I won't

    The main reason RFOM and Motorstorm are PS3 exclusive seem to me that other consoles couldn't care less about them.

    Why play either of them when there are already better variations of both games available on other systems? In short your welcome to them, can't think of any Sony exclusive game that a 360 owner would want, when they manage to magic one out their large corporate behind I'll consider buying a PS3 to play it, but for the next 18 months at least my moneys safe.

    I hope the updates r free of charge.

    "My preferred console is better!"
    "No migh perfred console is teh better!"
    "My favorite faceless company is being copied by your favorite faceless company"
    "This game console is teh suck"

    Seriously, this childish mudslinging proves just how mature all of you are. If you ever want people to take you seriously as "gamers" then I suggest you do a bit more to show a more positive image of our community (or the aparant lack thereof)

    And if Gamespot is so damned biased against your oh so precious favored system then leave and go read what you want to read from so other website. If you're so in love with your console of choice that you're willing to risk your integrity by arguing over a news comment on a video game website, then why don't you just go play the damn thing. Leave the conversations to the rational people (what few there are left in online gaming community) who can actually carry on an intelligent argument.

    But it seems I'm just screaming at a wall here. Kids in this generation are the most hateful, spiteful, arrogant, intolerant group of individuals I've ever witnessed. Seriously, grow up.

    Sweetness, looks like now that they've worked out all the bugs from launch they're gonna make good on their promises of new content, I can't wait for the new game modes and maps, hopefully I won't be too caught up in Oblivion to check um out...

    blitz_nemesis, why wouldnt you have to pay for the maps? xbox charges you so why wouldnt ps3
    gmayronne, i dont know what multiplayer you were playing because its nothing like you describe, you probably just played "bus yard" and the game title was "shotguns" haha theres a lot of skill and strategy, most people actually snipe
    personally i think this is the best game ive played since vice city

  • Proust

    Posted Mar 5, 2007 4:34 pm GMT

    With new games now coming out I was considering selling Resistance. Think I will wait a little longer. See how the games expansion plays out.

    Posted Mar 5, 2007 4:32 pm GMT

    Its a good game, but no way is it great, I think Lego Star Wars is more fun, says it all really

  • mentalhelp

    Posted Mar 5, 2007 4:12 pm GMT

    Don't really play RFOM much because Im always on COD3, but I like the free roam thing, which might make me play RFOM more.

  • gmayronne

    Posted Mar 5, 2007 4:12 pm GMT

    resistance is just plain fun, nothing more nothing less. do i think 8.6 is right, honestly yeah i do. resistance is fun, has cool weapons, cool level design (most notably in the later levels), and the AI can be tricky at times juking and ducking from your bullets which all add up to be a very good game. now if you want over-score, i really think Gears of War was a little overrated, the online aspect as well. my experience with it online was in a word.....dull, because it was just a bunch of people running around with shotguns a-blazing almost every match i played, and with such small enclosed levels it was usually everybody meeting up in one spot and just unloading on each other, hardly ever saw anyone take cover or do anything really strategic which really bummed me out not to mention the lack of online modes available. the single player was really fun but the story and character development was h-o-r-r-i-b-l-e, and considering that story matters to me in a game, that also bummed me out, Gears of War in my opinion is about a 8.8 at most, and thats really just cause the graphics made my eyes bulge.....a little.

    "Sony has not announced pricing for the new maps." So it looks like we have to pay for maps. Seems kinda stupid to me.
