America is lost. Four years after the epic conclusion of Resistance 2,
dishonorably discharged Sentinel Joseph Capelli is in hiding from the
invading Chimeran menace with a pocket of survivors, including his new
wife and young son. But when Dr. Fyodor Malikov arrives with a desperate
plan, he sets into motions the events of Resistance 3, the third
installment in the popular full-featured first-person shooter series.
Resistance 3 is created by critically-acclaimed developer Insomniac
Games exclusively for the PlayStation 3 (PS3) system.
Set in a brutal, alternate 1950s universe, America has been successfully
conquered and destroyed by the deadly Chimeran race, forcing the last
remaining human survivors to seek refuge in hiding. Players must take on
the role of Joseph Capelli, the last surviving Sentinel from a
clandestine military program, as he comes out of hiding to journey
across a land of ruin in a heroic fight for survival against the
merciless Chimera. In addition to an epic single-player campaign,
Resistance 3 will offer two-player online or split-screen co-op through
the single-player campaign, and a new, focused progression-based
multiplayer experience.
It's August 1957, four years after the conclusion of Resistance 2 that
left Lieutenant Nathan Hale dead on the battlefield against the invading
Chimeran race. Joseph Capelli has been dishonorably discharged from the
U.S. Army for killing Hale. With the Chimera completely occupying the
planet, Capelli has given up on the seemingly hopeless fight and has
retreated into hiding underground with his wife and young son in Haven,
Oklahoma. But as the climate of the planet continues to collapse,
scientist Dr. Fyodor Malikov finds Capelli with a plan to deliver a
devastating blow against the occupying Chimeran force. In order to
protect his family, Capelli must leave them behind and embark on a
harrowing mission across the country to New York City. Along the way, he
and Malikov will encounter the survivors and remnants left in the
aftermath of the brutal Chimeran invasion.
Journey as mankind's last hope, Joseph Capelli, across a devastated
America, making your way from Haven, Oklahoma to New York City.
Resistance 3 returns with a fully loaded arsenal of innovative weapons,
including classics like the Bullseye, Auger, Rossmore, and Marksman, and
increase the firepower of each with a new weapon upgrade system. With
the return of the fan-favorite weapon wheel, players now have access to
the entire sandbox of weaponry, giving them strategic choices for any
situation they encounter.
Engage smarter and more agile Chimeran enemies - due to Insomniac's new
awareness and cinematic traversal technology that gives the Chimera the
ability to traverse any environment to reach you: nowhere is safe. Newly
evolved Chimeran species - such as the powerful, leaping Longlegs - are
larger and more deadly than ever.
Two-player online and local/split-screen co-op gameplay allows players
to team up with a friend during Capelli's journey to New York.
A new, more focused, progression-based multiplayer experience builds on
Insomniac's multiplayer pedigree, while allowing players to take part in
the global resistance by battling in locations set around the globe.
