Resistance 3 (3D and PS Move Support) – America is lost. Four years after the epic conclusion of Resistance 2, dishonorably discharged Sentinel Joseph Capelli is in hiding from the invading Chimeran menace with a pocket of survivors, including his new wife and young son.

But when Dr. Fyodor Malikov arrives with a desperate plan, he sets into motions the events of Resistance 3, the third installment in the popular full-featured first-person shooter series. Resistance 3 is created by critically-acclaimed developer Insomniac Games exclusively for the PlayStation 3 system.

Set in a brutal, alternate 1950s universe, America has been successfully conquered and destroyed by the deadly Chimeran race, forcing the last remaining human survivors to seek refuge in hiding. Players must take on the role of Joseph Capelli, the last surviving Sentinel from a clandestine military program, as he comes out of hiding to journey across a land of ruin in a heroic fight for survival against the merciless Chimera.

In addition to an epic single-player campaign, Resistance 3 offers two-player online or split-screen co-op through the single-player campaign, and a new, focused progression-based multiplayer experience.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone of Insomniac Games, specifically Ted Price, Marcus Smith, Drew Murray, Adam Moonchester, Grant Hollis, Cameron Christian, James Stevenson, Paul Featherstone, Brandon Winfry and Ryan Schneider for giving Jeff, Sid and myself the fantastic opportunity to go behind-the-scenes and showcase a great team, behind a great title like Resistance 3.
