More info as it becomes available.

Of course, this begs the question, keeping the ending of Resistance 2 in mind...
Spoiler:

Hale is dead. What the hell is this game gonna be about? Who'll be the protagonist? Capelli?

EDIT: Here's the insanely epic teaser trailer.

Looks like my last question was answered. Kind of Left 4 Dead-ish, don't you think? It just screams out co-op...

Given that there's a scientific reason why you were able to regenerate, does that mean we'll have to rely on medkits if your implications turn out to be true?

First Resistance 3 images hit

Is this a non-bald Capelli?

You can see the scar on his face here:



So it has to be him.

Confirmed. Resistance 3 protagonist is Joe Capelli.

Then Resistance:
- They recap R2
- Capelli started a family with Susan (Hale's Stepsister)
- Malikov LIVES!!
- They confirm 2-player co-op campaign (Capelli, Malikov, & John Harper [Capelli's partner]) are key characters (but no alternate story co-op like R2)
- They describe a couple scenes (some related to the leaked images)
- One of the multiplayer maps is in an African Prison
- Chimeran Plant Life (that explodes when shot) shows that the world is changing
- Describes some boat scenes from the campaign
- Talk about the new smarter AI (climb over walls, and through windows and stuff)
- Long legs jumping from roof to roof shooting down at you
- The Mutator:
A new weapon that shoots biological mist that causes boils and stuff on the enemy and then makes them pop hurting the other nearby enemies
Secondary fire makes them go insane and attack their buddies
- Other Weapons:
Bullseye, Magnum, Shotgun, Auger, carbine are all back... and all weapons are upgradable as you use them more and more
Weapons are also made to look more improvised so... grenades are shaped like food cans full of nails and such...
- Online was talked about but not much is known yet:
it says they wanna make it more organized and not a cluster like the 60 player matches in R2
- Also Ted Price handed the reigns to Marcus Smith to do alot of the other work

More details

- Humans are eating other foods due to a lack of food
- Vaccine might be able to cure the chimeran virus
- Capelli is doing this in order to save his son
- He goes with Malikov to New York, St. Louis, etc.
- No more gas, everything needs to run off of Chimeran Energy cores
- The cores have to be stolen from chimeran ships

So now we're going to play as Resistance fighters? Took you long enough, Resistance.

Capelli sucks. Playing as him will ruin the game for me the same way Red Dead Redemption was ruined at the end.

Yeah, I watched that earlier. Looks awesome.

Christ, almost all of your posts include whinging about something.

Dude, fairly uncalled for. We all have others we personally dislike, but there's not really a need to point at them and yell. You're turning into the crazy old man in a rocking chair even faster than I am.
