Whether or not you’re familiar with the Resistance series, it’s painfully clear that the FPS genre isn’t lacking any content of late. With space shooters, alien shooters, and plain old military shooters bumping shoulders for release windows in 2011, it’s becoming even harder for established franchises to remain at the top.
Insomniac Games is looking to keep up with the pack with their release of Resistance 3, pitting a human refugee against the forces of an alien occupation. Four minutes of gameplay has made its way online, so fans and newcomers can get a preview of what’s in store for them this fall.
The announcement trailer for the game showed that the creative team was taking full advantage of the premise and story of the series, using live-action video to try to put players into the shoes of a former soldier fighting for his life against tremendous odds.
The artwork for the game made it clear that the world we knew is long gone, and the Midwest has been reduced to rubble and ash.
Environments can do a great deal to constructing a certain mood for a large-scale game, but nothing lets players know what they’re in for like actual footage of the game. Well wait no more, as the first extended footage of the game has arrived, showing a variety of weapons, enemies, and environments that you’ll be taking on with your band of rag-tag fighters.
The footage consists solely of combat, so have a look at how the different weapons and enemies will look in action:
