    I absolutely loved Resistance when it first came out. The whole backstory and lore involved with the first game were pretty good and I enjoyed how paranoid the American government came out to be from the lore tidbits that could be discovered. (Always enjoyed finding the deceased American Black Ops units that were scattered throughout the game and learning just how Xenophobic and closed-off the US had become after they had secretly? learned of Europe's downfall and did everything they could to hide the truth from the public.) I think it was the hidden lore and learning about what had happened to Europe, what was going on in America, how the Chimera were struggling to take land anywhere south of the Equator, how the weapons and vehicles looked and how they came to be, etc. that made me really love the first game of this series.
    The spinoffs were ok and I enjoyed the first spinoff where we fought to take back Paris (though if I'm remembering right, that game's main character felt like a carbon copy of Hale. Which didn't sit right with me.)
    The direct sequels, however, were very meh. 2 started out pretty great, but then it became way too sci-fi for my taste. The Chimeran weapons, and subsequently the human weapons as well, started to become way too out of hand with regards to how high-tech they felt as well as what they could do and made me wish that the creators had instead gone for the original idea with the series and just had the Chimera and Humans duking it out in space. Though I heavily enjoyed that Hale was starting to become more "Chimeran" as the game's story progressed, but then they just nonchalantly killed him off in what was literally the last 10 seconds of the game left a god awful taste in my mouth and I lost all hope for any future games within the series.
    Resistance 3, while fun, just made me think "Why is this even a part of the series?" the whole time I was playing it. I enjoyed the feral Chimera aspects of it as well as the bits that showed " crazy human who devolved into madmax tribal lunatics" angle, but the whole game just felt out of place.

      In my opinion, Insomniac wanted to be done with Resistance (they were going to make another game for another company, as I recall, Sunset something) and so deliberately ended the series with Resistance 3, disregarding any plot holes along the way.
      3 left so many things unanswered, especially regarding the ancient aliens and their relation to humans.

    It feels like Parker was added to the game in order to have her spell out the story in those slideshow exposition pieces. I was wondering why the devs didn't have cutscenes to show the story instead, especially since the slides look like they were taken from cutscenes. Maybe it just wasn't feasible (rushed production?) so they used Parker to compensate. That's probably why she's everyone's commander as well. It's a reason for her to know all the details and to be relevant to the story she tells. Her line "I knew Hale would eventually find the map room." is such conjecture, it really sounds like the devs didn't plan for the voiceover at first.

    For some reason, I finished Fall of Man but have extremely vague memory of it. I mostly remember the game to be quite challenging, but I also think it was the DualShock 3 terrible trigger button that caused all shooter game on the PS3 to be annoying. Other than that, I do remember the basic of the story, the virus, invasion and all of that. It was quite absorbing back in the day, but not particularly so. It had that proper blend of horror and military. It’s half way between Halo and CoD. Too bad, they essentially ran out of ideas. Part of what made it a little forgettable was the brownish, grey colour tone. The Xbox also had Gears of War, so it didn’t feel like Resistance was doing anything special. Overall, I found that era of gaming quite fun. Gaming was approaching cinema, it was interesting to see what kind of things they wanted to adopt from cinema. Now it’s just the same thing recycled, after the novelty wore off.

    I personally liked the other 2 games. I had my issues with Resistance 2, especially visually I found it pretty weird with plastic-looking textures, but overall I thought it wasn't so bad, even though I still prefered the first one. Rural US was a pretty nice setting too.
    Really liked the 3 though, which brought a deeper meaning to the title, as at this point humanity was very much on the brink of extinction with the Chimera being all over. I also liked the take on the "feral" Chimeras, showing how the Earth's whole ecosystem was shifting.
    Overall a pretty good and underappreciated franchise in my opinion.

    That voice actor is DARAN NORRIS ... I believe you probably know him from fairly odd parents or another Nickelodeon show or as Jack Smith
    ( Stan's dad) on American dad..... But hes been in a bunch of stuff going back to the mid nineties

    You know, I had never this channel before but before I clicked I hovered over for the preview, saw Zuck, and thought about Internet Historian. Imagine my shock lol

    Took me years to get the skeleton suit in achievements, great game especially multiplayer.

      Multiplayer was a hit for me and my friends at the time, still salty about them throwing hegghog grenades into tight spaces where I was at. Good time!

    Imagine Internet historian knows more fish that you do. A disgrace to my blood, I'm committing sudoku.

    I enjoyed the Resistance series, I've got fond memories of the MP in 2 and 3. Doubt Insomniac will ever revisit it though.

    In US History there was a Nathan Hale who I believe was executed by the British in the Revolutionary War; anyways his big quote is "My only regret is that I have but one life to live for my country" which I think recontextualizes how to see the main character in this.

    I swear it's the best and worst thing finding your new channels out of nowhere.
    On one hand, I never know they exist till I stumble upon a video. On the other hand, it's more fun content...lol

    Hey internet historian, love the content . Someone has probably said it but the dude is Daran Norris. He voices Cosmo and the dad in fairy odd parents and was a bunch of dudes in cowboy bebop . Also the janitor from neds declassified school survival guide .
