Sony has ‘no definitive plans’ for Resistance franchise

LikeResistance? I do, though it was never that big blockbuster franchise that I think Sony wanted it to be. It did well enough for them, and most of the games (notResistance 2or the Vita title) were pretty good. That said, I wouldn’t expect another series title anytime soon. Sony’s Daniel Brooke told the Official PlayStation Magazine UK that they have immediate plans for the franchise: “TheResistancefranchise has been exciting to work on but as for the future, we have no definitive plans....

Space Beast Terror Fright is my new drug

Nornware’s FPS manages to distill the intensity of Aliens Space Beast Terror Frightis Johannes “johno” Norneby’s interpretation of the sci-fi first-person shooter: take the artful tension-building and high-octane muzzle flash from James Cameron’sAliens, add in the corridor control and strategy from Games Workshop’sSpace Hulk, give it the look and feel of classic FPS games from the ’90s, and then mix all that delicious stuff up with some roguelike randomness and permadeath and you’ll have a pretty good idea of what johno’s got in store for you....

Submarines: a game will feature them this summer

Please, oh, please letNaval Assault: The Killing Tideincorporate something from Wolfgang Petersen’sDas Boot. It can be anything, really. Milky white cast members with bad teeth and equally bad VO would be huge … but we’ll settle for a Type VIIC-class U-boat, which from the sound of it at least, seems all but uber-confirmed.Artech Studios and 505 Games announcedNaval Assaultlast afternoon, calling it an “arcade style submarine title.” It’s an Xbox 360 exclusive that is set to support several four-person multiplayer modes and have a campaign offering that will have you squaring off as an Allied submarine commander against the Axis powers in World War II....

The Daily Hotness: Now that’s what I call music

The prospect of Mega Man X6 on the PSN doesn’t look good

Another incomplete Mega Man collection When speaking to the Retronauts podcast, Capcom opened up a bit about the PSN submission process, andMega Man X6happened to come up, as it’s still missing on the service. According to Capcom there’s music thatcreates licensing issues(ha), and they don’t know if it’s worth the effort to fix it forX6, presumably because it’s one of the most hated games.Legends 1and2are a higher priority. Look,Mega Man X6gets a ton of shit, and rightly so for the origin of the project in general, but it has its charms....
