This is a series that could really do with a PS4 remaster, even if it isn't getting anything new. I never really got to experience the Resistance series but had always wanted to, and with the servers for the games being down, a large part of the experience is gone forever.

The first game at the very least would need a massive gameplay overhaul. I played it for the first time in years a couple months back and it's virtually unplayable by fps standards. Everything else about it is cool af, but the gunplay is really bad.
resistance 3 is one of my fav games
I really need to dust off my PS3 and replay them. I never got around to playing 3 since by then I had a decent gaming computer after years of toasters. I still cherish my Resistance 2 collector's edition.
I remember being blown away by the visuals in 2. The first game, as mentioned in the video had this Sepia tone to everything, whereas 2 it was a lot more colorful and vibrant. I played multi on it a few times but didn't really think of it as anything special. Since Insomniac are done with it, I'd love to see Machine Games snatch up the IP and do something.

Early 2010s Insomniac was rough, glad they got back on their feet
I enjoyed playing the first Resistance, second one was fun, but extremely difficult. Never touched the third one.

It always felt like Insomniac was one of the few "Golden Companies" that didn't really grow up when it came to the PS3/X360 generation.
Bungie immensely innovated with Halo 3, ODST, and Reach. Naughty Dog hit their stride with Drake's Fortune. Epic Games entered the console and mass public appeal with Gears of War. Infinity Ward absolutely changed the future of FPS games with COD:MW. Rockstar, DICE, Ubisoft Montreal, and Guerrilla Games, all changed with the times and innovated with the industry.
But Insomniac released Resistance, which tried to do the set-piece shooter, but that was already done better by at least two other developers. Then once Resistance puttered out they went back to R&C, unfortunately none of their modern games lived up to the variety and quality of their old ones, and continued to fail to innovate. Now they're doing VR experiments and tie-in games.
Personally, I think Insomniac is a sinking ship, any talent and management that was able to steer that beast is gone or powerless, unless they suddenly announce and release a Horizon Zero Dawn style success, I can't see them being a studio worth note. They also changed their fucking logo, that logo was[URL="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b3/Insomniac.png"] beautiful[/URL].
Resistance 1 was solid fun when I played it. Rough around the edges in spots but its aged well enough and has charm.
Resistance 2 had some good fun moments but some hampered by some really bad and irritating design decisions. It was one of those games that got infected by the CoD trend (regenerating health etc) Especially with limiting how many weapons you could hold, thats possibly the dumbest decision possible given how vast and diverse the weapons are.
Resistance 3 bumped itself on the head and remembered how to be fun again. And I really enjoyed it. Its got some very fun set pieces and it still looks pretty great.
Honestly, to me the ps360 generation was the brownest, most drab, most brofist snoozefest in FPS games. After MW, there was just a growing trend of greying and browning it all up and between CoD, Gears and the dub-fart fest that was BF3, these games just drowned in the crowd for me. Their colour palette and military focus in the first two just automatically disqualified them from my awareness.
I was totally burned out and bored to shit with 90% of games from 2008-2012. It really just was a huge step back from the previous generation that had colourful games. RPG's, Extremesports, Platformers, Adventure. Not to forget split screen. The ps360 was just a giant misread of the audience IMO. Gritty shooters are great, but it just bled into everything else as well and suddenly, every hipster on the planet wanted to tell deep, gripping and horribly unwashed stories of unwashed people with unwashed, grey lives. No matter which game you pulled from the shelf, you knew it was a commentary on how you needed more depression and angst in your life.
When it finally subsided in the latter years, I was finally looking up. The hipsters moved on to bitching about genders in games and the rest of the industry got off their asses and went for new trends and brought back color and style to games. Aside from "Games as a service" and loot box economies, there's a better focus on diversity of experiences to be had. The market is bigger than ever and thank god, they're done focusing like a magnifier on a single point, somehow ignorant of how it causes severe burnout.
I guess what I'm saying is that I'm still burned out on drab colours and edgy/gritty protagonists. Resistance 3 sounds like it could have a chance... some day.

I think Spiderman will be their saving grace. It's a huge property, it got a good amount of hype at E3, and the gameplay looks solid. I'd prefer if they'd create a new IP but I'll take this over over something as creatively bankrupt as Fuse.
But yeah that logo switch is an atrocity
