Resistance: Fall of Man & Resistance 2 coming to PlayStation Premium, alongside Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain


UPDATE:

It
appears
that
the
Resistance
games
are
in
fact
not
emulated,
but
only
playable
via
streaming
like
they
were
before.

Reliable
insider
Wario64
has
seemingly
confirmed
this
fact
on
X.

If
this
is
the
case,
it’s
frustrating
that
Sony
has
not
mentioned
this
in
their
blog
post.


Original
Store:


Sony

has
revealed
this
month’s
lineup
of
new
games
hitting

PlayStation

Plus,
and
as
has
become
the
norm
that
includes
a
selection
of
older
titles
arriving
on
PlayStation
Premium
via
emulation.
Well,
hopefully
emulation.

The
headliner
is
undoubtedly
Resistance:
Fall
of
Man
from
Insomniac
Games.
Released
in
2006,
Resistance
is
one
of
the
PS3’s
most
successful
games,
selling
around
2.5
million
copies.


“Epic
military
action
and
unnerving
tension
blend
together
in
PS3’s
2006
first-person
shooter
Resistance:
Fall
of
Man,

says
the
official
blurb
on
PlayStation
blog.


“Humanity
faces
annihilation
as
a
relentless
alien
force
known
as
the
Chimera
ravages
Europe.
Amidst
the
chaos,
Nathan
Hale
emerges
an
unlikely
hero,
confronting
unimaginable
horrors
while
uncovering
secrets
that
could
change
the
course
of
the
war.” 

It
will
be
joined
by
its
sequel,
Resistance
2,
which
launched
in
2008


“Initially
released
in
2008
on
PS3,
Resistance
2
is
the
continuation
of
Insomniac
Games’
science-fiction
FPS
saga.
Now
on
American
soil,
the
alien
Chimera
threatens
Hale’s
humanity
in
a
gripping
race
against
time
to
put
a
stop
to
the
invasion.
Once
again
at
the
forefront
of
humanity’s
fight
for
survival,
Nathan
Hale
must
lead
his
squad
through
desperate
missions,
as
new
weapons
and
giant
boss
encounters
increase
the
scale
of
the
conflict
to
new
heights.”

This
is
a
major
milestone
for
PlayStation
as
it
has
been
notoriously
difficult
to
emulate
PS3
games
in
the
past.
Previously,
the
only
way
to
play
Resistance
trilogy
on
PS4
was
via
streaming.
However,
people’s
experiences
with
it
tended
to
be
poor
side.

With
the
first
two
Resistance
games
appearing
on
Premium,
presumably
PlayStation
has
made
a
major
breakthrough
in
emulating
PS3
games,
hopefully
leading
to
many
more
marooned
titles
becoming
playable.

However,
in
the
interest
of
trying
to
be
level-headed,
nowhere
in
the
blog
post
does
it
specifically
state
whether
these
games
are
actually
being
emulated.
None
of
the
previous
classic
PlayStation
releases
have
specifically
mentioned
this
fact
either,
and
have
in
fact
been
emulated
rather
than
streamed.

As
first-party
PlayStation
games,
both
Resistance
titles
should
also
boast
full
trophy
lists,
although
it
was
not
specifically
mentioned.

The
Resistance
titles
will
be
complimented
by
Blood
Omen:
Legacy
of
Kain
and
Legacy
of
Kain:
Blood
Omen
2.
These
are
undoubtedly
joining
the
service
to
support
the
release
of

Legacy
of
Kain:
Soul
Reaver
1
&
2
Remastered
which
arrives
on
December
10.

The
games
will
be
available
on
November
19.
It’s
unclear
if
they
will
be
available
for
purchase
separately,
or
only
available
to
PlayStation
Premium
subscribers.
