Over the past decade, Sony has been quite active at creating new franchises for their Playstation platforms. Their stable of new intellectual properties are diverse and, more importantly, top notch in quality.
Despite the declining hardware sales, the PSP had one of its best years ever in 2009 in terms of quality software thanks to excellent lineup lead by a slew of great exclusive games.
Many companies have used Home to promote there games, and the best way to do that is to create our own Home space. Insomniac announced a while ago that they will be working to create home space's. Now Insomniac has announced that they are bringing a Resistance Home space. It will be released this Thursday and be sure to check out the video after the jump.
It's all about the DS this week, fellas, ladies. Sure, there's a few notables for the other platforms (Rune Factory: Frontier on the Wii, Resistance: Retribution on PSP), but none of them can top a whopping six high profile titles, and of such a great variety. Three RPGs, one RTS, one shooter, one racer, and GTA: Chinatown Wars? Never been a better time to be a DS owner than now..
Electronic Theatre details the contents of the European packaging for the Resistance: Retribution Collector's Edition, due for launch exclusively on PlayStation Portable March 20th.
"There's no sense in beating around the bush -- Resistance: Retribution is excellent. It's got a main character you'll connect with, an engaging single-player campaign, a crapload of unlockables, PS3 connectivity and the strongest online multiplayer I have ever seen in a PSP game. In short, you're an idiot if you don't buy this game.
Set between Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 2, Retribution tells the tale of James Grayson. A British Marine, Grayson was doing his part in the fight a..."
"Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) today announced a huge and colourful year for its PlayStation Portable handheld entertainment system with the arrival of some big-name titles in 2009 for PAL territories. LittleBigPlanet and MotorStorm, previously only available on PLAYSTATION3, will be coming to PSP this year, joining the ranks of popular PlayStation franchises such as the ever entertaining Buzz!."
Admittedly I had some doubts upon hearing of Resistance: Retribution. Considering Insomniac were not developing it and it was being put on the PSP, a platform which processing power was a pittance compared to the PS3's I was dubious. But this trailer has changed that for me. This trailer gives away more details on the story and new gameplay features including what could be a Cloven and underwater segments. Go the source and enjoy.
This is one of those rare games that I'm truly excited about.
Pre-order the game on Amazon and receive a code to download the free Resistance : Retribution demo. But why couldn't they just give it to everyone?
Fans of Resistance will be very pleased by this bunch of info released about some of the additions to the series. First off is PSP title Resistance: Retribution, with a likely release date, price and boxart. Next is the upcoming novel Resistance: The Gathering Storm with a release date, price and the final cover art. Finally are the Resistance Comics with a release date, cover art for the first three issues and more general info made available.
"We're pretty excited to announce that yes, we will be providing additional game play and features if you connect R:R to R2! Here's how it works...
Connect R:R to R2 using a USB cable. Go into the R2 options screen, and select "Infect your PSP!" That's all it takes.
Infected mode lasts until you power down your PSP...
Another cool feature we're including is something we call PSP Plus!
Activated from the R2 options screen, PSP Plus! allows you to play Resistance: Retribution using your Du..."

The Sony Playstation Blog has all the info on Resistance: Retribution. Interviewing co-director John Garvin and having a run through of Resistance: Retribution with other co-director Chris Reese they share their views on the game, the PSP and their company Sony Bend.
Being a regular on Insomniac's site MyResistance I got a PM from one of its many moderators. This PM was a questionnaire about many different things on what we do and don't like about Insomniac and what we'd like to see from them in the future. One question in particular caught my eye.
"If Sony put Resistance Retribution on the PSN as a ps3/psp title would you feel more inclined to buy it."
Basically this indicates that Insomniac are at least considering putting Resistance" Retributio...
Leipzig didn't exactly offer all that much in terms of new content for Resistance 2. But luckily a private presentation with community director Ryan Schneider at Insomniac reveals some Intel sure to please long time fans. Among other things the claim that maps would 4 times larger than ones in the original game and there would be over 70 different arenas available. But by far the best bit was a new weapon, a nifty little gun called the Splicer which shoots razor blades at your enemies with go...
