    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.

    The thing I hated about this game is it takes place at York bus Station. I was living in York at the time and it was a massive bone of contention that the city council wouldn't grant planning permission to build a central bus station and thus the bus routes were poorly interconnected.

      He was promoted to Lieutenant and made a Marine Commando a year before the Chimeran invasion. When the Chimera invaded Britain, most of his family were killed save for his youngest daughter Angela, who went missing. He was then made leader of the Royal Marine Commandos.

      As of 1957, Cartwright had been promoted to General, and is leading British resistance troops in Wales and Western Europe, as learned through a radio broadcast on Freddie Valmore's announcement.[1] It is unknown what happened to him afterwards.
      Parker.
      Resistance: Retribution
      Following the liberation of Britain, Parker worked quickly, initiating restoration and rescue efforts throughout the country, restoring and re-deploying armed forces, beginning research efforts into the Chimera's mysterious history and reverse-engineering Chimeran technology alongside Special Research Projects Administration. At this time, Parker was promoted to Colonel and made official head of the British Intelligence Corps and British Armed Forces.

    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.
