Evidence Regarding Resistance 3 Setting Revealed
Although Ted Price may have been present during Sony’s E3 press conference, sadly, nothing was announced from his company, Insomniac Games – most notably a new Resistance title. There hasn’t even been any chatter in regards to a new Resistance game since the infamous Resistance 3 billboard appeared. However, if a new retailer listing is to be believed, Resistance 3′s reveal is indeed imminent. The listing may have also revealed a setting in which the “final stand” against the Chimera will take place.
Online retailer eStarland, as spotted by Examiner, has listed Resistance 3 for a March 24th, 2011 release. The retailer also provided a brief description of the third iteration in Insomniac’s Resistance series:
“Continue the fight against the Chimera invasion in Resistance 3, as the battle moves to New York City and humanity makes its final stand.”
In addition to the game’s description, eStarland also outed a box art for Resistance 3. The logo which is present on the box art was also seen on the billboard (seen above).
Sure, this should all be considered a rumor, however, the online retailers’ description contains a hint that their description for the game is indeed real. In the past, Insomniac has used the “A” in Resistance’s titles to display a landmark from a location present within the game. The original Resistance: Fall of Man, meanwhile, featured London’s Big Ben, with Resistance 2 featuring San Francisco’s Bay Bridge. Resistance: Retribution for the PSP displayed Paris’ Eiffel Tower.
The billboard for Resistance 3 gives a vague clue on the plot of the game. For Resistance 3, the A in the billboard clearly illustrates the Statue of Liberty, indicating New York City will be the game’s primary setting. As seen by the description by the retailer – stating the game’s location is set in New York – and Insomniac’s pattern of game locations told via Resistance’s box art, you can’t help but believe this retailer is correct.
Judging by the billboard decorated with “Resistance 3″ spotted on a Shreveport, Louisiana, film set, speculation was immediately sparked that yet another installment was on the horizon in Insomniac’s first-person shooter franchise. The billboard will be featured in a movie entitled Battle: Los Angeles, which is currently penned for a February 2011 release. Should the movie’s release period be true, it could very well be indicating that Resistance 3 will see a release during the same time – making the online retailer’s March release date seem all that more likely.

DAMN it released with no one realizing it….
I know! Insomniac is releasing games in the past now. Damn your sneakiness Insomniac! These guys must be the biggest bunch of retards I’ve seen in a long time. The box art is just the title on a black plain,
since when have you ever seen something like that as a cover? It’s clear their using the only image they have of Resistance 3 to fake it while there’s no real confirmation of the game existing.
Its probably temporary box art… but that doesn’t mean they don’t know if its coming or not. hmmm… I’m sure part of it is in new york, but the other two games didn’t stay local to just one city either, they moved all around parts of whatever country… not that its gonna make much difference to me as long as I’m shooting aliens, but it’ll probably be all over the east coast, but with New York as the primary city.
wish they would just come out and announce the game already
Yeah. I can buy this
Why would they release R3 the same month as KZ3. I highly doubt they will.
Hope this baby kicks arse!! The others were greaT..!
Dammit they better take the fight to the Chimera homeworld in the 3rd one!
@Xael – hell yea! where is that again?
Yeah Xael, that’d be kick-ass, i hope they upgrade the graphics alot too because R2 didnt look that good and i hope the story is goin somewhere, at the end of R2 i was like “What the fuck are those things!!! Whats goin on!!?”
@bigwoop
i believe its the planet that rose above the earth (if im not mistaking it for the moon lol) when hale was looking up in the sky and said “they are calling”
also no wonder imsomniac went multiplat resistance 3 sold nothing damn. its been out for 4 months and vgchartz has it as invisible
To me, the matter at hand isnt where the game is going to be. It’s who is going to be the protagonist and how are they going to continue the story.
I find it hard to believe that Nathan Hale would be the main guy in R3, considering that *SPOILER ALERT* he took a bullet to the head. Which, by the way, was the greatest ending to a video game I’ve ever seen. lol
The story to this point has been about Nathan Hale. How can they actually continue that story with someone else? I’m very interested in finding out.
@Gunsling
what people tend to forget about r2 is yes the graphics werent the greatest but never have you seen so many animated objects (aka chimera) on one screen at a time. the game was ground breaking and no one seems to give it its dues. r3 is going to b stellar…
@nuclearwarfare
i agree. i am much more interested in this great plot that insomniac has manufactured than the setting.
