I haven't seen that much chatter on the GB boards about Resistance 3. Is anyone going to get this game day 1 or at all? This is one of Sony's big games this year yet I can't help but feel nothing for it. Resistance 1 was a great launch game, still like how they executed the whole Alien invasion thing in the 1950s to this day, but Resistance 2 was a bummer. I think I'm skipping this one.

I have no interest in it. Shooters aren't really my thing anymore but even when they were I really didn't like the campaign in the second game. I don't even really remember anything about the first game other than that I played it co-op with my brother and that was what we liked about it... that it had co-op.

I was all over the Resistance series when I heard about it. It was portrayed as a WW2 shooter... with 'Nids. Sadly, I was horribly mislead. I really wanted to be krumpin some bugs with a Kar98, or a M1, sadly, they said "here, have some modern weaponry!" I was a sad panda that day. Sadly, I feel its a pretty generic shooter by today's standards. It had a chance to do something awesome (like Turning Point), but they squandered it.

I remember the first game being pretty good. But something about the second game really put me off of it, and I never ended up finishing it.

Doesn't help that they showed off possibly the most bland demo I've ever seen at E3, though.

@SuperWristBands: lol I played it co-op with my brother as well. All I remember is that it was good for a launch game.

First one was meh.
Second one was meher.
E3 demo was mehest.
Think i'll pass.

I'll probably pick it up, but not right away. I'm curious about the reviews though, if it turns out to be a really excellent game I might end up getting it earlier than expected.

It's coming out the day I go back to school. What a great release date. 
 
Also, Resistance is a load of crap.

Liked Resistance 1. I only R2's coop. They haven't said anything about R3's coop and that worries me. 

I will probably pick it up day 1; all reports so far (GameInformer, etc.) indicate it to be pretty awesome. That said, i was a bit disappointed with Resistance 2, so hopefully this will be better.

I don't get why the Resistance franchise became "big" for Sony. Those games are boring. Rented Resistance 2 and returned it next day, too bland for my tastes.

Hmmmmmm...

No.

I only played a bit of the first game.  But after playing Resistance 3 beta for a few hours i'm kind of not interested, seems like much better games to spend money on in the next few months.

I liked the first one, hated the second one, but I have to finish the fight. So yes.

No. I was burned with R2, and this doesn't look like anything special.

When its cheaper.  Money is being reserved this month for WH40k and Gears3.

Resistance is a casebook study how NOT to make a FPS.  They literally put the corridor in corridor shootouts.
I am curios to see how R3 perform in the market, seeing that Space Marine is also released on the same week.

Co-op is the single-player campaign iirc, it's definitely not that eight player madness that was the highlight of R2, I know that for sure.

But no, I'm not excited. I thought the demo, to be honest, was shit. It pains me to say it, but this is a Insomniac title that I have no interest in.

I am... for the most part. The multiplayer looks incredibly uninspired and honestly gives me the impression that the series has taken themselves down the long, dreary road of becoming yet-another-CoD-clone. The single player looks to be really great, at least. Insomniac also for what it's worth look like they're trying for a much more emotionally impact-full story. Plus the SP will have coop, though it sucks this had to completely replace the fantastic eight player coop from R2.
 
I'm a pretty devoted fan to the series, and the Resistance series is the only FPS I've ever invested towards; I got a lot of mileage out of both of the first two, though even I'm finding R3 to look a little sketchy. There's a been a huge amount of fuck-ups throughout the MP on the beta, which is a bit of a concern considering the game is being released next week.

The MP beta was fun for an hour or so. I may rent it for the SP since that seems cool.

Probably like 5 dudes

lolno

I do not plan on buying this on release day, At the moment I plan on putting this in my rental cue. 
 
I enjoyed the first Resistance, It was by no means a great game IMO but an enjoyable one, I am not a big MP gamer and really only play fifa online at length, I do enjoy racing sims like Gran Turismo and Forza online but I am mainly a gamer who enjoys single player games with a good story or rich game world, I enjoy playing some shooters online, loved gears 1 and have enjoyed some COD and Halo MP but I am a competitive person who likes to be competitive and the amount of time I would need to dedicate to one game to get really good in MP is just not available so I tend to not get into Multiplayer in shooters. 
 
I mention all that as I hated R2, granted I never give the MP longer than 2 hours as i had so many other games to play and the single player was just bad IMO, I really cannot put my finger on it, Just something about the feel of the game felt off for the 4-5 hours I played, It felt like a chore from minute one, and the fact the story was basically non existent or very poorly implemented that I just missed it lead me to trading the game in while i could still get a decent price. 
 
The novelty of the alternative history setting wore off after the first game so unless R3 comes out and reviews are very positive it's no more than a rental for me.

Absolutely, I expect Amazon to deliver it to me on release day.  The ending of Resistance 2 created an interesting jumping off point for Resistance 3 and I'm interested in seeing where the story goes.  The game appears to be the sequel to Fall of Man that R2 failed to be.

Seconded.

After Insomniac took a steaming dump on all sense of 'atmosphere' and 'pacing' in Resistance 2, I'm staying sceptical.

That said, Resistance: Fall of Man was pretty great. Felt a lot like the original Halo, but in a drastically more grim setting.

Liked Resistance 1. I only R2's coop. They haven't said anything about R3's coop and that worries me. 

i didnt think 1 was good or awful. havent bought 2 and i have no intentions on doing anytime fast (maybe for 5 bucks?) 3 who knows? not on my to by list any time soon

@Abyssfull: The weapons are enough to differentiate it wildly from CoD, so I dunno what you see in it that looks like CoD. Generally the same gameplay, but that's pretty much it.

@Gladiator_Games: *guffah*

your kidding right? Turning Point? That's your example?

I really liked where the plot went in Resistance 2 which was only decipherable if you collected all the intel, so I am interested very much in the single player part of Resistance 3.

I am very excited! I love that game series! It may not be the best or anything but it is always fun.

I'm interested in it but will it be day one? No. I don't have a working PS3 at the moment and even if I did R2 disappointed me too much for me to consider buying it day one. R: Fall of Man is one of my favorite PS3 exclusives. Sure it's unoriginal and it hasn't aged all that well but it was one of the first PS3 games I ever played so it has that sorta sentimental value.

He may have been referring to how grey and brown it looks. (Maybe?) Because the single player demos I've seen(via GB, GS etc) its pretty damn grey.

I dunno. I JUST finished the first game (digging into the PS3 backlog). It was OK, I'm slightly interested in the cliffhanger at the end of the first game, so I'll probably play Resistance 2, but I can't say I'm excited for it.

Yes I am, I love the story of the resistance franchise.

No , got burned out after 2 no longer care for the series

I have every intention of playing this, since I enjoyed the first 2. Planned on a day 1 purchase, actually.

But for whatever reason, I'm gonna skip most of the first person shooters coming out this year, at least for now. Maybe I'll pick it up next year after wrapping up Mass Effect 3. I'm only gonna go through the campaign, despite spending more time than I usually do on part 2's mp.

I just finished the first game last week and played the second for a half hour or so. I'm looking forward to seeing how the reviews turn out for the third game so I have some sort of idea if it will even be worth my time/money.

@MordeaniisChaos I'm using Turning Point as an example of a game with a premise that is really old (WW2), but then takes it an does something totally different, and then completely squanders it. Just like the Resistance series.

Resistance 2's campaign was very problematic. Hope this one is better. I'm moderately excited yeah.

I don't understand the hate for the franchise. Resistance 1 had a terrific single-player campaign, but the multiplayer was lacking . Resistance 2 had a poor single-player campaign, but the multiplayer was terrific. I platinumed this game, which means that I got the 10 000 kills trophy. I did not boost or anything; I was legitimately playing the game and was enjoying the hell out of it. I played the beta of R3 and thought it was even better than R2! I expect to be playing this game a LOT. So yes, I will be getting it and am really excited for it.

I loved R1 and 2 so I'm super stoked for this

Not at all.

I'll rent it for the singleplayer... doesn't look like it can compete with other products in the same price-range.

=\

I will be picking this up today after work. I thought Resistance 2 was a great game and ended on a really high note. The last few levels were fantastic, my favourites of the whole game. 
  
After watching a few videos and reading a few reviews, I'm really excited to grab this and get back into the fight against the Chimera.
 
I played a tiny bit of the beta and enjoyed it, so far I have no complaints and hope I enjoy this game as much as Resistance 2.
 
It can't possibly be as big of a letdown as Killzone 3 was anyway.

@MetalMoog: While the story in Killzone 3 was lacking I found the actual missions to be fun and I still play the online to this day. I might pick up Resistance 3 but not now, maybe when it drops to $30.

The second I finish LA Noire, it is being traded for this, oh yes
