The First Resistance 3 Images Sneak Onto The Internet

It wouldn't be proper to say these are legitimate without official confirmation (but they totally are).

A picture-pilferer going by the bro-tacular name "1337guyzorz2" is probably giving Insomniac Games and SCEA PR fits right now, much like a similar cat had WBIE marketing folks punching themselves in the thigh over the Batman: Arkham City Internet image spill recently. You see, "guyzorz2" has uploaded a bunch of supposed Resistance 3 images on a public Flickr account, eating away at what hype would have surely followed the game's first in-game action reveal.

Unfortunately, he's revealed little else other than a reaffirmation that things still don't look too good for the people living in the world of Resistance. There's aliens all over place, lots of of bloom, and apparently bone and leather necklaces are still in. 
  

 See? Things don't look so good for our survivors.
 See? Things don't look so good for our survivors.

Insomniac joked about Resistance 3 being one of the worst kept secrets ever as it officially announced the title at Gamescom in Cologne. Ironically, the studio has managed to keep the details about the game locked down so tight that I'm almost afraid to call it an FPS--and that's after watching the live-action trailer. I find these images haven't really helped me understand more, but these also haven't been released via an official channel which would normally provide some context (if these are, in fact, real).

== TEASER ==I can say with confidence, at least, that these shots look pretty. Have a look:   
 

 Hey, you've changed, man.
 Hey, you've changed, man.


 I'm trying to figure out if that's a cellphone or a mine in his hand.

This is where I'd usually make a joke about a monster resembling your mother.

So they're not going to pick up after Resistance 2's cliffhanger? I suppose that ending works . . . I like the route they're taking with this though.

just because you fight aliens doesn't make it a halo clone.  it's more like COD if anything.

It's like there's some kind of law that says every writer needs to force this despondent humor into every under-image text.  If that's your bag, and you enjoy seeing it over and over, then right on to you, brother. Me? They can fuck off right to Hell. "

I agree that it sometimes gets to be a little much. But your last sentence seems like a bit of an over-statement.

Halo has 6 games, that's no trilogy. Resistance has 3 games, that's a trilogy. You can't say they're copying Halo. Tell me. Have you played Resistance 1 & 2? "
But, to be fair, in Halo there are 3 main games, a spin-off, a prequel, and a side-story.

@Tebbit: That is true, but, Microsoft owns Halo and Bungie didn't end the series, they just made a prequel to showed what happened before part 1 and split with Microsoft. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've read on GameInformer that they will continue making Halo games. So that means Halo 4 will come out. Will it not?

@Ben: On GameInformer, it says that the dude who did what he did to Nathan at the end of the game is the dude talking to the chick. So maybe it'll start off from R2's ending. Pray to God it does.

God I hope this is better than R2. 
 
One of the most disappointing sequels this generation.  The single player just didn't click with me at all.  And the final boss battle was awful.

Resistance 2 had some of the very best character models i have ever seen, and this one doesn't look to disappoint at all either. cant wait to see where the story goes, the last one had such an insane and awesome ending.

I always liked these games. They're not awesome games I'll play for months on end in multiplayer like a valve or bungie shooter, but I really liked the single player in both resistance games.

I like Resistance. Not so much 2, it was alright but nothing to write home about. But I am ready for another and those shots look cool.

I love that the 2 on the end of '1337guyzorz2' implies that '1337guyzorz' was taken.

I never liked any of the resistance games, it's kind of like the PS3s Halo, a game with a large fanbase but mediochre games and very very bland setting/background/mythos/mood

Ehh....I am not a Resistance fan. I hated the first game. I don't know what it was, but it just wouldn't click with me. Still, I am sure that this is very cool for those people who do.

Perhaps this will give them time to renew their security certificate on myresistance.net before they get a flood of (10) new users.

Resistance 2 was a poor singleplayer experience. Some of the most unintuitive level design I've ever come across. Death traps around every damn corner.  Intensely frustrating.

It's a sextology (?).  But yes I can say they are copying
if the current developers quit making Resistance games
(ie, copying Bungie & leaving their game!).  And I'm hoping
they do it, so I can get a good laugh.

Looks pretty, but tells us next to nothing. Hopefully this game is more character driven and open. The Resistance games are fun, but they've always felt like Insomniac is just trying to find their way through a genre rather than something truly unique. I loved the alien-pod infested 50's suburbia in the last game, so more of that sort of atmospherics would be lovely.

I was loving the single player in Resistance 2 until I got to some fucking ghost thing that kept killing me, made weird bird noises then it just killed me. The multiplayer was sweet though.
