91w ago - Insomniac Games Community Intern Brandon Winfrey has posted up a video today from Gamescom 2011 spotlighting both Resistance 3 and Ratchet & Clank for the PlayStation 3 entertainment system.

To quote: I went to Germany once. I visited a castle, ate schnitzel - all things you should do as a guest of that fine country.

However, the most fun I had was when my exchange family set up a massive LAN party and we played games for 12 hours straight! It was then and there I realized that Germany is ground zero for videogames.

So for this year's Gamescom conference, the Insomniac crew hopped across the pond to show off our anticipated fall titles, including Resistance 3. By now, you've probably seen the beautiful new Olly Moss-inspired trailer, right? If you haven't, I'm giving you permission to stop reading this blog for a second to watch it.





The gaming media also experience a new section of Resistance 3 behind closed doors, so expect new previews to start rolling in soon. Fans on the show floor were able to play a single-player demo of the game so they can get a feel for the riveting atmospheric action Resistance 3 has in store.

Meanwhile, Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One showed up with its guns blazing in a new trailer showcasing...

92w ago - Insomniac Games Community Intern Brandon Winfrey has posted up a new PS3 developer diary video today spotlighting the tools in Resistance 3 on the PlayStation 3 entertainment system.

To quote: Gamescom has been amazing. However, something is still missing - an unyielding void in the soul of Resistance that needs to be filled. Something cold. Something unyielding. Something... Sledgehammery?

Yes, that's it! We need to show you the Sledgehammer, Resistance 3's brutally blunt new melee weapon. Here - let me summon the video gods and see if they can whip something up for the latest R3 Dev Diary.

By George (or Rey), they've done it! Our all-new Resistance 3 Dev Diary features the first gameplay footage of Capeill's intimate side - intimate as in he's close enough to Grims to smash in their deformed faces with a giant Sledgehammer. It's pretty wicked (except if you're a Grim).





Plus, you will get a detailed look at the human guns at your disposal in the game. Just because they aren't modified with some fancy alien technology doesn't mean they won't plow through the Chimera faster than Rainbow Dash can clear the skies of Ponyville.

Go in-depth with the explosive nuances of the Magnum, the Carbine, and the Marksman, and...

93w ago - Today Insomniac Games has released the Resistance 3 PS3 Beta Patch version 2.01, which aims to rectify matchmaking issues with more details outlined below.

To quote from their recent update: Matchmaking

In good news, we have sent a patch (Update 2.01) that addresses the matchmaking issues into final testing at Sony, and are hoping to have it up by tomorrow night UK time, so that you EU folks joining the beta should be able to matchmake.

This additional patch will be required, and will allow us to re-enable matchmaking, which should again (hopefully) happen sometime in the late morning Pacific Time tomorrow. This should address the issues and allow you to use matchmaking to find games again, while also addressing a few crashes.

Thanks for your patience while we developed and fixed the issue - and please continue to report any issues you find with matchmaking to us so we can continue to tweak and optimize. We will continue to update you on the status of the 2.01 patch as it gets through final testing, staging, and release in the next day or so.

Stats coming down again

Sometime this afternoon, we will be bringing down stat progression again until further notice. We are moving the stat database...

93w ago - Today Insomniac Games Senior Community Manager James Stevenson has made available a Resistance 3 PS3 motion capture documentary video for fans below.

To quote: During our Comic-Con Resistance 3 panel, we discussed our motion-capture techniques and how they helped us build the game's story.

We showed an in-progress behind-the-scenes video that chronicled our mocap process in Resistance 3, and how we have continued to evolve that process from the work we did on Resistance 2.

That video is now complete, and we're excited to share with you how we really brought the cinematics and characters of Resistance 3 to life. Give it a watch below.





We hope you enjoyed that behind-the-scenes look!

If you have questions about the on-going beta and updates to it, please be sure to check out our recent post here.
