Insomniac says Resistance: Fall of Man could be made for PSP
Might need scaling down a little bit, though
Keep your safety on as this is far from confirmation that it's coming, but Insomniac Games president Ted Price has indicated – in an interview with MTV Multiplayer – that there's potential for the Resistance series to come to handheld.
Resistance: Fall of Man, one of the PlayStation 3's launch titles, is an alien shooter set in various locations across Europe including, of all places, Grimsby and Somerset. The game also gained notoriety when the Church of England got a bit upset that it used the inside of Manchester Cathedral as a location for gunning down alien scum. Resistance 2 is in the making now and is due out this Christmas. It's safe to say it probably won't include any church interiors.
Anyway, when asked if he thinks Resistance could be made as a first-person shooter for PSP, Price says: "I think Killzone demonstrated that it doesn't have to be a first-person shooter. I think Killzone: Liberation was a fantastic game, but a very different game from the original. Anything is possible."
Insomniac's other big series, Ratchet and Clank, has made it onto PSP in the form of Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters, which was developed by High Impact Games and released last year.
It's encouraging to hear Insomniac is open-minded about the potential of a Resistance handheld release. Although we'll obviously have to wait and see if it ever actually comes to fruition or whether this is just hypothetical chit-chat.
