HdE'S TOTALLY UNORIGINAL GAMING SHOW S02, E01
RESISTANCE: FALL OF MAN REVIEW FOR PLAYSTATION 3.

The evolution of first person shooters on consoles is maybe something we take for granted in the modern era of gaming. Looking back, Microsoft's Xbox brand could boast an extremely popular and influential FPS franchise from the start with the mighty Halo. But Sony's Playstation consoles never seemed to generate anything with quite the same spark. Until, perhaps, the Resistance series appeared. Here, I take a look at the first game in the series. It's a very different game to Bungie's militaristic space opera in terms of its premise, featuring an alternate history setting as mankind battle for survival against an alien threat.

Developed by Insomniac games, who were perhaps better known for their work on the Spyro and Ratchet & Clank games, and would later go on to develop open world adventures like Sunset Overdrive for the Xbox One and Marvel's Spider-Man for the Playstation 4, as a first person shooter, it maybe represents something of an unexpected change of direction for the studio. But there's an undeniably interesting set of ideas and solid gameplay mechanics to be found in Fall of Man.

Made infamous by controversy over the use of the interior of the UK's Manchester Cathedral as an in-game location, and bolstered by a robust TV advertising campaign, there was no doubt this game would make its mark. But as with any genre in gaming, shooters are always evolving and expanding. So I ask, in this review, Does Resistance: Fall of Man still hold up today? And is it worth revisiting?

As ever, if you enjoyed the video, please drop a comment in the section underneath and let me know. And, as I'm always open to suggestions for games to feature, if there's a shooter you'd particularly like to see me spotlight in a future video, please let me know!
