[Chun Liroy]

Ok good... at first I was like "yeah live acted" but then some of the textures didn't look like they were live acted so I wasn't entirely sure.

Paralyze skill is exp heaven for medic.

[Kaisha]

What level do they get paralyze at? I've been needing to clean up some of the easier trophies in the game. Would be cool to bumrush a few levels with some BGers. I feel mostly useless on my Medic though, but perhaps I just need to ding some more levels and get some of the worthwhile perks.

Resistance 3 gameinformer just came in. Was reading up on the game and this came up

Taking the Fight Online

Insomniac is remaining tight-lipped regarding Resistance 3's online competitive multiplayer, but don't expect massive 60-player battles of Resistance 2 to return. As with single-player campaign, the team is aiming for a more focused experience.

"The approach to multiplayer on Resistance 3 is to really streamline the things that were really popular with Resistance 1 and Resistance 2", says creative director Marcus Smith. "Obviously weapon usage is a big one, but we also have our progression through multiplayer which is a lot tighter. It's going to reward people as they go. We're also setting the location of all our multiplayer maps in various locations around the world. During the single-player campaign you'll be hearing updates [via radio show] of those battles as you're progressing through the game."

I'm guessing this is taking place a fair bit after R2 if the Chimerans have basically 'won' the war.

It can't be too far after Resistance 2 if Capelli is the protagonist. By "Chimera-ruled" it probably means the game takes place in a Chimera-occupied area, not that the Chimera won. That would be a slightly odd direction to take the series after 3 games ending with you wrecking the Chimera's shit.

[Qalbert]

GI got here today, says 4-5 years, and that the chimera occupy most of NA

[Souj]

bleh... so most likely the story will be full of flashbacks and mystery when it comes to dealing with the end of 2.

[Qalbert]

basically said that

Spoiler: show

Capelli got fed up with shit and quit fighting and went and settled down somewhere to raise a family in a little survivor town which gets raped, and someone gets infected or something and there's a vaccine made form Hale's blood to cure it that you have to go get. something along those lines

just skimmed it so may not be totally accurate

[Merovingian]

they have to bring hale somehow

Slight necrosis from the playstation blog:

Hopefully you had a chance to check out the teaser for our new trailer which will premier exclusively this Saturday during the Spike Video Game Awards (check your local listings for time and network if you’re outside the US). And, we look forward to sharing more with you about the trailer after the VGAs this weekend. But even prior to the VGAs, a lot of new info has hit since GamesCom via a couple magazine covers that you may have seen – but if you missed it, we’re here to catch you up.

First of all, the main protagonist in Resistance 3 is Joseph Capelli, the Sentinel who (HUGE RESISTANCE 2 SPOILERS HERE… if you haven’t played it yet, go buy a Greatest Hits copy now!)

Spoiler: show

was forced to kill Nathan Hale at the end of R2.

Capelli was dishonorably discharged, and four years later is living in hiding with his wife, Susan, and son, Jack, along with other survivors in the town of Haven, Oklahoma. He’s given up fighting, and is now just trying to hide and survive the Chimeran death squads that roam the planet. But when Dr. Malikov arrives with an opportunity to deliver a blow to the Chimera, Capelli embarks on a road trip to New York City. Resistance 3 is a tale of Capelli’s heroic journey across the country as he encounters the remnants of humanity left in the aftermath of the brutal invasion.

We wanted to show you some of our favorite concept art and screenshots so far, with some “director’s commentary” on each. Check out our favorite screenshots below.

In Resistance 3, humans are hunted by Chimeran death squads, but various groups have figured out different ways to survive across the destroyed country.

One of our favorite concepts, emphasizing the brutality of the world. Capelli using the new Marksman.

The GamesCom trailer was meant to give you a glimpse and foreshadow the universe that we are creating, whereas the live-action in the upcoming VGA trailer will actually represent some moments from the game, and hopefully give you a taste of the world, atmosphere and mood in Resistance 3.

Part of Capelli’s journey involves a treacherous boat journey. This shows off our new Capelli model (yup, he does look different and skinnier, four years of malnutrition as food is now scarce), holding Resistance’s signature weapon, the Bullseye. Folks who are looking carefully will notice the Goliath in the background, as well as a new enemy, the Longlegs.

In Resistance 3, the Chimera have formed into two distinct groups. Feral Chimera, such as the grim seen above and others such as the Widowmaker, are a constant threat to humans and even militarized Chimera.

Early in the game, you’ll meet Capelli’s wife, Susan. Fans of the universe and novelization will recognize her as Nathan Hale’s stepsister.

The military chimera are still a strong presence in 1957, with roving death squads and drones continuing to exterminate any signs of humanity while protecting key Chimeran installations.

This is a screenshot taken from one of our multiplayer maps. The multiplayer locations in the game are set around the world, with many in locations not in the single-player game. This level is the Fort Lamy prison, in the Republic of Chad, Africa. During the single-player campaign, you’ll hear updates about the battle happening there.

Many folks have written to us with questions about gameplay, co-op, and multiplayer. A few quick answers: The weapon wheel returns, allowing Capelli to carry his entire arsenal and letting the player choose which weapons and strategies they want to use for each encounter. New to Resistance 3 are upgradeable weapons, which will give your weapons new abilities and power as you continue to use them. In terms of co-op, we are focusing on a 2-player co-op through the single-player campaign, which can be played online with a friend, or split-screen on your couch. In terms of multiplayer, we are planning a much more focused, progression-based multiplayer experience. We’ll have many more details on the new campaign, enemies, multiplayer and weapons in the weeks to come as we head towards our Fall 2011 release.

That’s all for now, stay tuned for the newest trailer – we can’t wait to hear what you think.

Played the hell out of Number 2, despite being 6000~ kills away from that gold trophy, eff that.
Otherwise I'm really excited about that LOCAL co-op. Not sure how I feel about being able to carry "your entire arsenal" but we'll see what happens with that.

[Merovingian]

wonder if they are going to do another marketing campaign like project abraham.

[Gekii]

im ready for some r3, wish i still had my copy of the 2nd. coop online was pretty awesome

[Insanecyclone]

There will also be some special thing shown during the VGAs.

[Souj]

So we get that big mysterious thing that happens at the end of 2, and we go into a time skip. Lame.
Yes I'm sure we'll eventually learn about everything during the game

[Insanecyclone]

[Hiryo]

Im sure the graphics will improve from what I saw in the VGA. Really wish they had showed some teaser footage of the announced co-op campaign though.

[Insanecyclone]

[Arnwulf]

Awesome new trailer....can't wait for this

[Kaisha]

Bullseye's new target line is a nice addition. Was one of my fav guns next to the Auger.
