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.”

Yea, I hope there is a 3rd. I loved both of the first games and would hate to see it all come to an end without finishing what it started.

I agree. The only thing better would be a 360 port of Resistance 3, but that MAY not happen. Sob!

I think I have some good evidence to say that hale is alive. when searching on the net I found out that cloven were made by humans taking in ancient chimera DNA. I also found out that hale was injected with a type of chimeran DNA during the two years missed out after the first R2 level. Also, after Reading a coop intel, it said that a cloven was hit by 40 bullets and still lived. This all leads to the conclusion that maybe hale became a cloven, and therefore survided the bullet to the head.

Of course thats not going to happen! Insomniac only make games for the playstation. Its like saying that Gears of War or Halo is coming to the ps3

I think that you will still play as Hale except you will turn evil and will also kill humans. There could be two campaigns hero campaign-where you are a new hero and eventuall y destroy Hale, and a villain campaign where you destroy all of America when you play as Nathan Hale. Should have lots of new weapons and new beserks for online mode.
Go back to the same weapon system as resistance fall of man. So when you get a weapon you get to keep it, instead of you can only have 2 weapons at a time. The one in fall of man is much better because you can pretty much never run out of ammo. Definitely need the fall of man weapon system.
