I really enjoyed Resistance 2, but they should return some of the elements from RFOM (weapon wheel, change the health system, off-line coop, bring back the narrator). Those were the changes people complained most about. It seemed like they took on too much in R2 for their time and resources.

Thanks for the input, Jeff.

R2 wont have the same legs that R:FoM had.

Especially now that KZ2 is out. A lot of fans will come to "should I buy KZ2 or Resistance 2?" and end up buying KZ2 instead because it has more hype.

Which is exactly why Resistance should be changed to TPS. Sony now has it's elite FPS Franchise in KillZone. Change Resistance to TPS to differentiate it from KillZone so that consumers will buy BOTH games, instead of just one.

I get what you mean, and Sony could indeed use a big TPS franchise. But I don't think they should change Resistance.Imo, MAG should've been a TPS. We're getting way too much big FPS' at the moment.

They could possibly release a Resistance/Socom game every 2 years, that way SCE had 1 big FPS game each year.

Nah, people love FPS and if there are multiple good FPS for PS3 then more people will buy it.

I like the Resistance series the way it is. I enjoyed both games immensely and am looking forward to the next installment.

As far as a new IP goes, isnt Quantam Theory a TPS?

Tifa got MOVES!

Resistance: FoM has far outsold Resistance 2. It seems that fans of the original lost interest and didnt buy the sequel.

Sony has it's big time FPS in KillZone 2. MAG is also coming out which is FPS and dwarfs Resistance's multiplayer online capabilities.

It's obvious that this franchise needs some sort of change. My suggestion: Turn it into a cover-based Third Person Shooter a la Gears of War.

RFOM was a launch title (little else was available, therefore big sales) and was bundled heavily. Of course it has sold much better than R2.

R2 was an extremely accomplished affair with incredible 8 player coop campaign. The series does not need a change. Just a successful third title.

agree with every saying it should stay as it is. I loved r2 and still do. Making it a tps will change what the game is and how it's played.

Besides we are getting quantum theory and we have uncharted which are tps.

I didn't play r:fom. I was put off by the graphics. My 360 equivalant looked so much better, but r2 was amazing.

If you are fans of resistance, rather than complain about small changes, you would have accepted the new game with additional gameplay and extra features for what it is.

No thanks. Then it just feels like the PS3 is losing FPS games to compete with Xbox360 FPS titles. As well, like Resistance: Retrobution, its ok if they made it a TPS or even an RTS as long as its a spin-off per say and not a real big continuation story.
