If you need: no comedy and extra FPS gameplay with experimental weapons
Playable on: Resistance 3 is streamable through PS Plus. Resistance: Fall of Man is locked to PS3 (discs are fairly low cost on eBay)
The PS3 had plenty of shooters that I’d completely categorize as hidden gems. Killzone, SOCOM, the second iteration of Steel Gear On-line, and the Resistance trilogy. Whereas these alien-blasting shooters from Insomniac by no means reached the favored enchantment of a Halo or Name of Responsibility, they’re undoubtedly price your time in order for you a shooter with an arsenal of unusual weapons that make nice use of secondary fireplace features.
The primary and third video games are maybe closest to Excessive on Life since you’ve gotten entry to all of your weapons through a weapon wheel (the second Resistance sport ditched this for a extra conventional, Halo-esque two weapon carry restrict). The third one specifically has a reasonably “meh” story and what I’d contemplate a bitter finish to the trilogy, however it feels probably the most trendy of all of those and has loads of enjoyable moments.
Some standout weapons are the Auger, which fires rounds that journey by bodily partitions as its essential fireplace, and a defend as secondary. The Bullseye helps you to tag an enemy with a dart that enables your pictures to house in on the goal, which means you’ll be able to even shoot round corners. The sport’s sniper rifle has a secondary perform that slows down time, so you’ll be able to completely line up headshots.
Resistance doesn’t actually have any comedy, however it’s a enjoyable shooter with multifaceted weapons of the sort we see in Excessive on Life, there’s only a entire lot extra of them.
