Little by little, the PlayStation Plus lets out more and more titles that it will integrate into its catalog. Today, it is a franchise of which Insomniac Games is at the origin which is concerned, with a very particular episode.
Grandpa resists
Insomniac Games is one of Sony’s most emblematic studios, and of video games as such: we owe it sagas like Spyro, Ratchet & Clank and now Marvel’s Spider-Man, whose sequel is in preparation. But with the advent of the PlayStation 3, the firm was requisitioned to build yet another franchise, more adult, more violent and supposed to follow a certain Halo: Resistance.
Three main opuses on PS3 were developed by the Californian studio, while two spin-offs were concocted by third parties on PSP and PlayStation Vita. Today, we learn that one of them might return through the new PlayStation Plus offer in a remastered version.
Resistance Retribution in PS Plus?
We might have expected the main games to be included in the PlayStation Plus Premium – maybe they will – but today, it is a question of Resistance Retributionwhich has just been listed by the Korean classification body. As everyone knows, this kind of action suggests a commercialization or in the case that interests us, an almost certain appearance in the Classics range of the PS Plus Premium, which includes many PSOne and PSP games.
As a reminder, Resistance Retribution is a bit of an episode apart: sorti in 2009 on PSP, it was not an FPS and it was developed by Bend Studiobehind the Siphon Filter (or more recently Days Gone). The console missing a right joystick, it was supported by a slightly different gameplay but this re-release would suddenly the opportunity to review the gameplay, to bring a bit of graphic correction et to include trophies : remember that the action took place in Paris and, as usual, we waged war on the Chimeras in a dystopian military world.
Many players were hoping for the return of Resistance with a brand new game: unfortunately, the multiplayer project the designers are currently working on will apparently be a brand new franchise… but ports are sometimes good ways to take the temperature with the public vis-à-vis a license or ‘another one. We will see and until then, we are already waiting for the officialization of Resistance Retribution in the PS Plus.
