Resistance 3 rumored to continue from Resistance 2′s ending

Resistance 3 PS3 fake boxart As far back as October 2007, there have been Resistance 3 rumors by the likes of Surfer Girl and CVG that suggested that Resistance 2 would feature a cliff-hanger ending paving the way for a third game in the series.

Now that Resistance 2 will be out worldwide this week, fans of the PlayStation 3-exclusive FPS are beginning to finish the campaign. Guess what they are finding out? That developer Insomniac Games saying the game tells “the story of Nathan Hale in his last 19 hours to live” where more than foreshadowing. But that’s not how it ends, in fact, Hale’s last words in Resistance 2 are — and I quote — “Can you hear them? They are calling to us. It’s beautiful. [...] This is just the beginning.”

Obvious spoilers aside, you can watch a camera recording by Slaesil of the ending below (it’s the only ending, there are no alternatives) and judge for yourself how likely a Resistance Trilogy is…

PS: My guess would be that Resistance 3 will be announced in 2009 and released by 2010. Especially with Insomniac mentioning in past interviews that they are enjoying their current Ratchet & Clank / Resistance yearly rotation.

Update October 12, 2009: Neogaffer Goldsounz snapped a photo of a Resistance 3 billboard for an upcoming movie that takes place in Los Angeles, confirming the game’s logo. The logo has the Statue of Liberty in the middle, thus showing the game at least partly takes place in New York, America. To quote: “I saw this billboard today in Shreveport, Louisiana. There are a lot of movies filmed here, and this one is about some sort of alien takeover of Los Angeles; the name of the film escapes me at the moment. Snapped off a few photos of the billboard since I wasn’t sure if the game had been announced yet or not. If not, then I’m surprised Insomniac would be announcing it here of all places.”

you think that they would sell Resistance 3 to Microsoft?
I disagree
why would they change the whole plot on the last game?

I think it should be sold to Microsoft, the plot will be the same, but It’ll sell better as the 360 has sold more units then the ps3, so the case will be the same with the game. Plus ps3 sucks and 360 rules. Bob_thegamepro

“I think it should be sold to Microsoft”

Would a DVD even be able to hold all the game and the good Graphics? I think not! xbox 360 is on its way out soon, PS3 is not

And it better be developed for Xbox 360 or PC or I’m going to rip my hair out!!!!

I think you got it the wrong way round Chris, the ps3 has sold 21 million units and the 360 28 million, the ps3 is on it’s way out not the 360, plus the ps3 is harder to program for, so next to none of the games on the ps3 take full potential of the ps3′s capabileties, this Is’nt the case with the 360.
Plus the 360 is a better mainstream console as it uses dvds instead of blu ray, the fact is the ps3 will never be a mainstream console and will always be remembered as a rich man’s console rather then a mainstream entertainment system same case with blu ray. Sorry but yo gotta get yo facts right, ps3 is illin cos it’s the biggest faliure this gen. mcjakeqcool

And apart from that, there is over $100s beteween the ps3 and 360, another inevitable reason for the ps3′s faliure. As far as I’m conserned, I’m happy to have a console that has not been abandoned by 1st and more importantly 3rd party devolpers, and I’m happy to have a console that accutaly utilezises it’s full ponteltial in it’s games, dis is why 360 rulez and why ps3 be illin. mcjakeqcool

i think that resistance 3 should not be sold to microsoft because xbox 360 practical sucks and as we all know ps3 is better, but the xbox 360 has sold more copies but we all know it was because it was release before the ps3 know xbox hatters want to play ps3 games because the playstation series is the best there is and they know it.

It does not matter If the 360 ‘rulez’ or if the ps3 is ‘illin’ because the 360 is for people with big hands, and the ps3 is for people with small hands, If someone has big hands, they use a 360, if someone has small hands they use a ps3, xbox series is for big hands, playstation series is for small hands, my hands are large so I’m a fan of the 360, that’s it. Period. JQ
