Resistance: Retribution finds it difficult to resist PSP
By holo` - Mon Jul 21, 2008 4:48pm
While Sony's press conference at E3 this year was quiet, a few new titles popped up to my suprise that I was honestly not expecting. One of these announcements surrounded Resistance: Retribution, a new game for the PSP.

While the PSP (much like the DS, but less so) has suffered from a lack of quality titles, those developed for the console with more care than the average port are genuinely entertaining and unique hand held games.

While any announcements for new PSP titles were light at E3, the unveiling of Resistance: Retribution is sure to make many want to dust off their PSP. We've got a fact sheet from E3, along with some screenshots to share with you all.

For the unitiated, Resistance: Retribution is set within the universe created by Resitance: Fall of Man which is a well recieved Playstation 3 exclusive. The PSP's upcoming taste of the Resistance franchise is scheduled for a release next year.

While it is probably not accurate compensation for such a long wait, we've got a fact sheet and some screenshots outlining what to expect from Resistance: Retribution.
• Game: A third person action-adventure game created specifically for PSP that bridges Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 2.

• Storyline: Dramatic storyline set against the battle to retake the European continent, follows a single soldier's grim determination to avenge his fallen brother.

• Engine: Utilizes Bend Studio's third generation PSP engine that allows for more enemies on screen, more detailed characters with higher resolution bitmaps and specular highlights, and a memory buffer system that allows for larger and more detailed worlds.

• Revolutionary Targeting System: Advanced third person targeting system designed specifically for the PSP.

• Portability: Liberal checkpoint system makes the title ideal for small bursts of gameplay perfect for the on-the-go gamer.

• Weaponry: Weapons include favorites from Resistance: Fall of Man like the Auger, Carbine, and LAARK, as well as new weapons based on hybrid Alien/Human technology – including the BM001 Razor and the Longbow 1S-1K "One shot, one kill" sniper rifle.

• Enemies: Over 10 different types of enemies, including Chimera from Resistance 2™ and Resistance: Fall of Man – including the Titan, Slipskull, Hybrids and Leapers – and all new enemies like the Hag and Cloven.

• Multiplayer: Intense eight player multiplayer gameplay with five game modes including Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Containment and Assimilation available via ad-hoc and infrastructure.

• Resistance Franchise: Web based franchise that ties into the Resistance franchise web portal.
While it looks like there will be quite a wait until Resistance: Retribution is released, as we get more information, we'll be sure to let you know. Finally, we'll have all the information regarding Resistance 2 for you tomorrow.
