Weapon Wheel Returns In Resistance 3, Co-op Confirmed – The Full Quencher

by Ernice Gilbert on October 13th, 2010, under Hot, Insomniac Games, News, Sony

The latest GI magazine is out and as promised tons of new Resistance 3 information and details are in it. I want.

Hint: Resistance 3 is looking to be the best in the franchise yet, and with co-op and the weapon wheel making triumphant return, gamers should keep a close watch on this one.

Not only were the recently leaked screenshots right about Capelli, confirming him as the new main character, he’s also started a family with Susan, Hale’s stepsister.

Here’s what’s been detailed thus far, per NeoGAF.

- Weapon Wheel returns.
- Capelli has started a family with Susan.
- Co-op confirmed, but there’ll be no alternate story co-op as in Resistance 2.
- African Prison is one of the included maps.
- The world is changing in R3; Chimeran plant life explodes when shot.
- AI will be smarter.
- Capelli can climb over walls and through windows.
- Longs Legs will be jumping from roof to roof trying to shoot you down.
- A new weapon called the Mutator shoots biological mists, causing boils and other injuries to enemies, which makes them explode causing splash damage.
- Bullseye, Magnum, Shotgun, Auger and Carbine are all coming back.
- Weapons can be upgraded, and will become better the more you use them.
- Grenades are shaped like food cans and are full of nails.
- Vaccine might be able to cure the Chimeran virus.
- Humans have turned to cannibalism due to lack of food.
- Capelli is trying to save his son and has some “other” unknown mission.
- He is joined by Malikov and they go to New York, St Louis and other locales.
- The team wants to make online play more organized and less clustered than the 60-player matches in R2.
- Ted Price handed the reigns to Marcus Smith for a lot of the game’s work

It’s simply unbelievable the amount of features Insomniac Games are packing into RE3. Capelli climbing walls, jumping through windows — the story seems pretty interesting, too.

The game will be out in 2011 exclusively for the PS3. We have all the screens and artwork through here.

    It’s looking good. And once more, I think I’m beginning to fall for a game I swore I wouldn’t fall for ever again!

    really hate the story for this though.
    the first 2 were about a struggle for survival, real men at war hearting it out to defend their country, true patriots.
    this is about cappeli who has become a coward, hid for a few years and started a family.
    yea, some patriot that is, hiding while chimera rip the country apart!
    its sooooooo cliche too, i mean honestly how many games and movies have had the i have to go through war, or hell or whatever it is just so i can save a loved one?
    its soooooooooooooooooooooo overused!
    something original, a little less cliche insomniac!?
    the more i see of this game the more i want it.
    the more i read about this game, the less i want it!
    please, insomniac dont turn this into a daisey shooter!

    “the more i read about this game, the less i want it!
    please, insomniac dont turn this into a daisey shooter!” I suggest you only see and don’t read then.

    LOL!
    now i hear parts of the game are in Africa!
    WTF?
    Africa?
    god, the prophecy is coming true!
    i said insomniac going MP would be the demise of my favorite dev studio, looks like i was right.
    :(
    sony should of bought them out when they had the chance!
