Resistance 3 Message Board older than one year ago

We hope you just had a chance to watch the PlayStation E3 2011 Press Conference that just wrapped up at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena! We were extremely excited to be a part of the show with our live gameplay demo of Resistance 3. You may have also heard about that announcement of the Doomsday Edition of Resistance 3 – containing the game, the PlayStation Move motion controller, the navigation controller, the PlayStation Eye camera, and the sharp shooter – everything you need to have the complete sharp shooter Resistance 3 experience at home on September 6th.

If you missed the conference, our stage demo took place in the streets of St. Louis circa 1957. We catch up with Joseph Capelli as he works with a group of young rebels waging a guerilla war against the Chimera. This group calls themselves The Remnants, and Capelli joins forces with them to stage a daring ambush on a Chimeran dropship, hoping to acquire its valuable power core. Things go bad quickly, and we jump forward in the interest of time to show you what happens when a third participant, a feral Chimeran Widowmaker, enters the battle.

Over the next three days, E3 attendees can join in on multiplayer matches set on our newly revealed Wales Seaside multiplayer map. We also have brought an updated version of our Haven Town Defense level, now in both 3D and with Move/Sharpshooter support. Can’t make it into E3 but live in L.A.? The updated Haven demo will also be available to play at the NIKE Vault, near the Staples Center and E3 itself in downtown Los Angeles.

Finally, many of you have asked to see the Mine Town Snipers segment of the game we showed to press at our April Media Day (Sid wrote about it here). The good news is we’ll be demoing the Mine Town Snipers single-player level on several live broadcasts – to find out when and where, stay tuned to Insomniac’s Twitter and Facebook feeds.

The No. 60 Air Fuel Grenade has been issued for combating Chimera in tight spaces commonly found in urban conflicts. The grenade will adhere to almost any surface, biological or otherwise, and deploy a cloud of flammable vapor. Once released, the cloud ignites, creating a massive explosion.

This fan favorite grenade makes a special return to the single-player campaign of Resistance 3 – but only for those who pre-order from Amazon.

Best Buy

Lt. Nathan Hale skipped his viral inhibitor treatments in the final hours of Resistance 2, in order to continue the fight against the Chimera. Play as him in his final hours with this special multiplayer skin, letting you bring Hale to the battlefields of R3.

The backbone of the US effort against the Chimera during the war, Black Ops troops were a common site at SRPA facilities and during special operations. Mostly killed and destroyed, this special multiplayer skin lets you return as one of the most mysterious soldiers from R:FOM and R2.

Resistance 3, the latest installment of the post-apocalyptic franchise from Insomniac Games, invades North American store shelves on September 6th, 2011.

You may not know Olly Moss' name but you've probably seen his work; it's been regular blog fodder for a while now and for good reason--Moss' creations are fantastic and inspired. Insomniac Games decided to throw a curve ball in retail's direction with the box art for Resistance 3 and partnered with the British artist.

"We wanted Olly’s work to reflect that in Resistance 3, YOU are the Resistance," said Insomniac Games senior community manager James Stevenson on the Playstation Blog this morning. "Resistance 3 isn’t a military shooter, as the United States Army and SRPA have been destroyed. Instead, Resistance 3 is about the remnants of humanity finding any way possible to survive in a brutal world."

In addition to collaborating on the box, Moss has produced a series of Resistance-inspired pieces, some of which have debuted today, others to be dolled out as the game's public relations campaign rolls out.

Whether or not you even care about Resistance 3, you should keep up with Moss at his website.
