So who’s looking forward to the Resistance 3 part of the VGAs? We certainly are, and we can’t wait to see more. Â To tide us over Insomniac Games has done a round-up of various bits of R3 related goodness. Â It really goes without saying that we are now entering R2 and R3 spoiler land.
“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!) 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.”
Yes that’s right, the Chimera now have death squads.  There are also two categories of Chimera; ‘feral’ and ‘militarized’.  Apparently the feral kinds are a danger to everything – even other Chimera.
Do you want more? Â Well Insomniac also had the following to say:
“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.”
We are stoked to see the game in action; not long to go now!

So does that mean the 8 player co-op from R2 is out? :( That was the best bit of R2, in my eyes.

I never played Resistance Fall of Man (1), if I bought R2 (but not 1) would I be able to catch up?

If you are just worried about the story you could wikipedia them, they aren’t particularly complex. The are fun games though so I would recommend playing them if possible.
