Resistance future uncertain - Sony

Honestly Resistance is Sony's best franchise in my opinion.. I love it... this is very sad news for me.

And nothing of value was lost.

I only entered the franchise recently with the release of resistance 3 and i have to say it was a great franchise. i plan on buying the first two now aswell. R3 has one of the best single player FPS campaigns i have played in quite a few years. Its a big loss to me to see it go...

As first i saw GameGear close to play it,

space arcade games or adventure are best for those in bed sick time.

Strategy and FPS are to be played with keyboard and mouse.

With to show graphics,Sonic in a realistic levels but not less cartoon

would made it fine for a play.

I think Resistance was a good universe for games, but I wouldn't mind if they game it a rest for a few years and came back to give it a fresh look later.  Many games get a nice jolt / reboot after a little time has passed.  Hopefully it won't be relegated to the archives for too long.

No big loss as far as I'm concerned. It was never essential critically speaking, nor was it a runaway success commercially.

I think the problem with the Resistance series is that none of the games were spectacular. Another big factor would be that fans of the games were often turned off by some poor decision of Insomniac Games in new releases. The removal of the weapon wheel and the lack of campaign split screen was a really bad loss in R2. Then in R3 they completely change the multiplayer mode and focus on small scale battles, basically turning the multiplayer upside down from where is used to be. The games simply weren't impressive enough for new customers and old fans had little reasons to play the new and ''improved'' games.

I love the Resistance series, but after the ending to Resistance 3, it would be pointless to continue the story. I suppose they could have more spin-offs, but they can only make so many of those before it just becomes completely stale.

Really enjoyed the first game, the second not quite as much.  Not played the third.

R1 and R2 were amazing, but this honestly seems like a good call to me.

For the PlayStation 4 I just hope Guerrilla Games pick up the franchise..  Resistance with the polish of Killzone would actually be the best shooter out there.

I also read on IGN the other week that it was the original makers of Syphon Filter that made Uncharted: Golden Abyss and Resistance: Burning Skies.

I'm just seriously hoping they now return to Syphon Filter and the legend that is Gabe Logan.  Those games still show how 3rd person shooters should be done.

Well, atleast we know it won't be milked, just yet...

Killzone is a better franchise for Sony to stick with. This is good news.

My thoughts for what they are worth.

I really enjoyed RFOM. I'm a campaign only gamer that actually enjoyed both the campaign and multiplayer RFOM experiences. Great game and release title for the PS3. R2 campaign was also enjoyable, but not as enjoyable as RFOM and I must admit I didn't touch the R2 MP. The R3 campaign was too disjointed from R2 for mine, enjoyable but that enjoyment was limited somewhat by the lackluster story arch deviation. I just didn't relate or connect with Joseph Capelli's character in R3, and basically wondered why the turned him into a handbag.. Why?

Anyway, the Resistance universe is a great space. Hope at some stage they revisit it. Just with a notable, interesting and worthy campaign/story arch to warrant it.

Thanks for the games Insomniac.

Okay not quite sure why everyone is so upset over this or why it even warrented a Gamespot article. Resistance 1 sucked, Resistance 2 was good but could have been better, Resistance 3 was crap and I only played it because I was curious about the story. I have since sold all 3 back to Gamestop and not even looked back. The only one that I thought was really good was Resistance: Retribution for the PSP. I still play it occassionaly. I can't vouch for Resistance: Burning Skies because I haven't played it but that's because I don't own a Vita because there are no games on the Vita worth buying a Vita for.

Not sure why Resistance fans are upset about this. They get a new facebook game! :P (being sarcastic of course).

3 main Resistance games are enough for me. I liked 2 better than 3, but that's just me. I think they should check out other options, maybe a new IP?

resistance retribution for psp was freaking awesome!!! i had high hopes for burning skies but it was a total trash!!! :(

It won't be missed

Resistance 2 FTW !!

RESISTANCE B3ST!!!

Ummm in my day, we wouldn't call this an issue, but moving on to bigger and better things and not milking too much from a good thing.

Underrated franchise. R1 & R2 were amazing games that had a bit of an old-school vibe: Long SP campaign, good narrative, great level design and challenging gameplay. Even the MP was brilliant. As far as I'm concerned, R1 & R2 urinate all over COD, BF, Killzone and even the mighty Halo (and I'm primarily an Xbox man!)R3 was a bit of a let down, compared to the first 2 though.I still think the biggest problem with Resistance & Killzone, not doing as well as other FPS, isn't just the games themselves, but more to do with the crappy PS3 controller. It really is useless, especially for FPS games. I'm not bothered about having proper trigger buttons, but the analogue sticks are crap. It severely lets the PS3 down, especially it's exclusive shooters. If a game comes out on both PS3 & 360, I'll buy the Xbox version purely based on the controller being far superior.However, I'm hopeful we will see a Resistance 4 on PS3, or PS4, hopefully, with a better controller !

i loooove the resistance seriiiieeees. resistance fall of man was the first game i bought for my ps3 & it was the first game i ever played multiplayer on. i've got so many memories playing it both online & campaign. r2 was fun, the graphics were improved over the first one & r3 was stellar. i just didn't like the ending. what were the developers thinking w/ that terrible ending to this awesome trilogy?? :S

Resistance game was the first i bought for the ps3 launch.

Resistance is still the best.

Let it go guys. It's done. over. no need for anymore.

A break is good, but I hope they don't abandon the series

They'll make a sequel for Resistance eventually.. maybe next gen they'll bring it back when they think it'll make a huge explosion on the scene.

Shame the Vita entry was so short. I beat it in 2 sittings. The PS3 games were long and a awesome.
