Insomniac’s Resistance Retrospective

Kovacs 13 Comments

Speaking on the latest episode of the Full Moon Podcast, Insomniac have been talking about the first Resistance, reminiscing about the game’s development and hinting at what different directions they could have taken. Posting up some video of their retrospective discussion on YouTube, check out some insightful behind the scenes early footage of what would have been a very different Resistance: Fall of Man.

Time-travel? Word War I instead of II? It’s all here. Including how the original designs for the Chimera unintentionally appeared “duck-like”, driving Concept Artist Carlo Arellano “nuts” until he changed them.

If you have any interest in the iterative process of how a game gets made – this comes highly recommended.

  1. We love RFOM and R2.

    Please, whichever direction you decide to go , give us R3 nand keep it exclusive, no compromises my friends…..

    • No chance of Resistance 3 on 360, no chance. For starters, that has nothing to do with the deal they made. Secondly, SCE published the first two games.

    • As mentioned already, Sony own both the Resistance and Ratchet & Clank IP. There is as much chance of them appearing on the 360 as Halo does on the PS3.

  2. iv never played resistance. looks diffrent. maybe ill get the plat editions when i have nothing else to play

  3. I like ducks

  4. The first one was really fun but never stood out as being amazing. The second one looked better but didnt play as good as R1 I thought.

    Theyve got work cut out for me to get back into the franchise.

    • i thought R1 was better

      • Agreed, Single player has the better story and Online had the better game options ( nade only matches etc etc ). Only Co-op Super Human in Resistance 2 saves it really, plus a few of the online maps were pretty cool.

      • The only thing i like about R2 is the san fransisco level, my fav level in any game. :)

    • the thing with both games was the standout online, both are great examples of how to do it properly but superhuman co-op is a lot of fun and damned hard too.

  5. After watching this i wanna complete FOM again and R2 while im at it.

  6. Gotta love Insomniac. Easily one of my favorite studios
