Just before the holiday gaming season began, Sony announced that a handful of the PS3′s best selling franchises would be sold as Collections. Insomniac Game’s Resistance franchise looks to be one of them, with the console-exclusive franchise confirmed to be receiving its own compilation.
The Resistance Collection will launch this Winter on the PS3, and brings with it the three mainline console games: Resistance: Fall of Man, Resistance 2 and Resistance 3. DLC for the latter two games will be included, giving gamers access to the Aftermath map pack and skin bundle from Resistance 2, as well as the Survivor Pack and Brutality Pack from Resistance 3. The two map packs released for Fall of Man are available for free through the PlayStation Store.
Players will be able to pick up all three of the bundled Resistance games for $39.99, however, the release date has yet to be announced. Sony has released the final box art, sporting a variant of the bleak but iconic Fall of Man box art superimposed on a white background. Not too hard on the eyes at all (insert multiple-eye-pun here).
Take a look:
One question surrounding the Resistance Collection is whether or not Fall of Man will be receiving a trophy patch, a la Metal Gear Solid 4. Though the title landed on our list of games that need a trophies, series developer Insomniac has explained multiple times that such a patch isn’t feasible. Sony does own the rights to the franchise, leaving us hopeful that the publisher’s internal engineers could be put to work developing some sort of version for the die-hards.
Though Resistance was never the most popular of Sony’s franchises, it has been with the PS3 from the beginning. Fall of Man was a premiere launch title for the PS3, spawning two sequels, an exceptional PSP title and a rather bland Vita game. Fans have expressed their displeasure in the change of direction Insomniac took with Resistance 2 – though as Game Rant’s resident Resistance fanboy I do feel obliged to point out that I loved the sequel.
Unfortunately, Insomniac will no longer be working on the series, and Sony currently does not have any more games planned. A true shame, because while Resistance 3 may have sold poorly, it was easily one of 2011′s stand out titles.
Look for The Resistance Collection exclusively on the PS3 this Winter.

I lover both Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 2. The multiplayer was very fun, hard, but fun. I never got around to the 3rd one though. I assume that the first and second one are an HD remake? I am definitely interested and also having it in 3D is just the icing on the cake.
The first and second are already in HD. They are current gen games. The 3rd was best in series. Fall of man next with the 2nd being the worst. Overall a great series though.
Lol they can definitely touch up the graphics in the first one, it came out like within a year or two when the PS3 first came out. The second one I forget exactly when, that’s why I put a question mark there. But yeah I really need to play the 3rd one. It is a great trilogy.
First game launched alongside the PS3, meanwhile the second dropped in 2008
.
As for the 3D and Move stickers, I’m pretty sure those only pertain to Resistance 3.
I remember not being impressed with the graphics in the second one either, can’t quite put my finger on it, maybe just too much orange, I enjoyed FOM more because each level was more varied than in R2, which was mostly just run and gun. Also the weapons in FOM were way more fun. Never played the third but this may just be the excuse I need to get around to it
hopefully they do an Uncharted collection
I can’t imagine Sony not releasing an Uncharted series.

Whoops, double post. And I meant to say collection. xD
I didn’t like the first game much at all… and yet I still kinda think I might buy this collection someday. These things are just too attractive.
Trophy patch for the first game – across ALL distribution variants of Fall of Man – or this is a complete waste of time and effort.
