Insominac Respond to Resistance 3's Disappointing U.S. Sales

I think this game would have done A LOT better if released during the summer.

Quote :

Developer Insomniac Games has now responded to the news regarding their shooter’s sales figures.
Firstly, Senior Community Manager for Insomniac Games James Stevenson commented on our report with the following:
Comparing Resistance 3′s sell-through number on one platform to Dead Island’s copies shipped number on 3 platforms isn’t really an Apples to Apples comparison.
Furthermore, Insomniac Games official Twitter account was messaged by a user who said:
Sad to hear the bad news about Resistance 3 but I really hope R&C All4One will do great! It deserves it! Loved the beta
The developer then simply said “what bad news?” The user later linked to our story notifying the studio of its sales being the bad news, to which the studio replied:
oh, no, the numbers are accurate, but that was still good enough for #7 on the US charts.

Even they knew there game was going to flop so how could they not be positive about it.

God, Resistance games look so generic. Don't get on my factinion about it either.

Resistance games were very generic to me.

What are you guys talking about?

I found the resistance games to be very under rated. While the 2nd game does defiantly feel bland. the first and third installments were very original with their game play mechanics and didn't go with the norm of 2 guns limit and regenerating health. I also like how they set it in an alternate 1950s where WWII never happened and how I may seem plausible that an alien race could have invaded the world in the fashion.

I have said it before, and I will say it again: the resistance games are the best FPS's available on the PS3.

Killzone is much better dude.

No matter how you feel about the whole Resistance vs Killzone thing, I think it's hilarious that you think Resistance is the best FPS on PS3. I'd much rather play COD than to play a clone of it.

From what I've played of the SP it's pretty bad ass... Multiplayer wise I never cared for it. Except for CTF in Resistance FOM on the map with the two neighborhoods on the opposite sides of the map and the forest w/ the catwalk in the middle of the map. That was beast...

I played the Resistance demo and it was lame. The Killzone 3 demo was way better. Overall the Killzone series IMO is better.

Resistance is cool. It may seem generic on the outside, but goddamn, it has some really cool and memorable weapons.

THIS!

Also, Resistance was the first game that made me consider buying a PS3 to begin with.

Killzone is still better in my opinion though. But Resistance has a much better and interesting story, and better and more fun-to-use guns.
