Subscribers to ‘Game Informer’ in the States have been receiving the latest issue with Resistance 3 on the cover. Inside are some juicy new bites of information about the game for us to digest (don’t read if you have yet to finish Resistance 2):
- Capelli (the protagonist) started a family with Susan (Hale’s Stepsister)
- Malikov lives
- They confirm 2-player co-op campaign (Capelli, Malikov, & John Harper [Capelli’s partner]) are key characters (but no alternate story co-op like R2)
- One of the multiplayer maps is in an African Prison
- Chimeran Plant Life (that explodes when shot) shows that the world is changing
- New smarter AI (climb over walls, and through windows and stuff)
- Long legs jumping from roof to roof shooting down at you
- The Mutator: A new weapon that shoots biological mist that causes boils and stuff on the enemy and then makes them pop hurting the other nearby enemies. Secondary fire makes them go insane and attack their buddies
- Other Weapons: Bullseye, Magnum, Shotgun, Auger, carbine are all back… and all weapons are upgradeable as you use them more and more. Weapons are also made to look more improvised so… grenades are shaped like food cans full of nails and such…
- Insomniac wants to make online more organized and not a cluster like the 60 player matches in R2
- Humans eating humans because of lack of food.
Sounds positively delightful; we can’t wait!

This sounds absolutely amazing :) I’m a massive fan of the series (and Insomniac) but it sounds like a more natural progression from the 1st one in gameplay terms, which is cool.
No ridiculous 10,000 kill trophies though please – I’m never gonna plat Resistance 2 no matter how much I loved it!

Love the sound of this, like most others wish they could combine the Campaign co-op of R1 and the separate co-op of R2 into the 3rd game!

The Mutator sounds like my weapon. Still aint got round to finishing R2 on my current username. Curse my old forgotten password.

Sounds amazng, and a bit Ratchet and Clank-ified (real word, patent pending) with the upgradeable weapons and exploading plant-life. This has made me fairly to generally happy.

really sad the 8 player squad co-op is no more :(

Aside from the “food can” grenades, it all sounds good. I don’t get this “food can” grenades thing. I mean we are playing as the army. The only reason I could see why they would have these is maybe if they are implying that weapons resources are running low, and we are having to resort to making our own? Maybe, in which case this is acceptable. Bring back the sheild grenade, loved it!

I may well be asking the daftest of questions but where does it say we’re playing as the army in R3?
