The
Resistance
series
was
a
major
part
of
the
PS3
era,
but
sadly
never
got
to
continue
past
that.
It’s
often
speculated
as
to
exactly
why
Sony
never
kept
the
series
going,
especially
as

PlayStation
doesn’t
have
any
shooters
currently
in
its
first-party
portfolio.

Former
IGN
journalist
and
now
podcaster

Colin
Moriarty
said
in
an
episode
of
Sacred
Symbols
in
2021
that
people
he
knew
at
Insomniac
had
told
him
that
they
had
in
fact
pitched
Resistance
4
but
that
it
was
turned
down
due
to
them
having
too
many
post-apocalyptic
games
in
development,
such
as
Days
Gone,
The
Last
of
Us
and
Killzone:
Shadow
Fall.

Now,
though,
we
have
confirmation
from
the
horse’s
mouth
that
Resistance
4
was
indeed
pitched
to
Sony.

Soon-to-be
former
president
of
Insomniac
Games
Ted
Price
shared
this
tidbit
on
the

latest
episode
of
the
Kinda
Funny
Gamescast.
Price
was
asked
what
his
favourite
game
that
he
pitched
was
that
never
got
greenlit.
Price
laughs
and
says,
“Yeah,
I’ll
share
one:
Resistance
4.”

“We
did
pitch
that
one
and
it
was
a
wonderful
concept,
and,
it
just,
in
terms
of
timing
and
market
opportunity,
didn’t
work
out,”
said
Price.
“But
it
was
the
result
of
a
lot
of
Insomniac
team
members
being
passionate
about
extending
the
story
further
because
I
do
believe
that
Resistance
has
set
up
a
really
cool
alternate
history
base
where
anything
can
happen
with
the
Chimera
and
where
they
go
and
what
their
origins
are.”

“Personally,
I
love
this
franchise.
I
was
fortunate
enough
to
be
creative
director
on
the
first
two
Resistances.
And
I
will
remember
many,
many
moments—good
and
bad—when
it
comes
to
development
that
taught
us
all
a
lot
about
how
we
can
elevate
ourselves
under
some
pretty
difficult
situations.”

It
seems
unlikely
that
Insomniac
will
return
to
the
Resistance
series
any
time
soon
as
the
company
is
busy
working
on
the
next
Spider-Man
title
along
with
the
upcoming
Wolverine
game.
But
since
we
do
live
in
an
age
of
remasters
and
remakes,
so
there’s
always
a
chance
Resistance
could
come
back.
