Resistance Retribution Details

Earlier this week, Resistance: Retribution was announced at the Sony E3 press conference, but no details were revealed. Here is what little Sony has revealed about the title since then; Retribution is a third-person action adventure game set in the same universe as Insomniac’s PS3 launch title, that serves as a bridge between the first game and the upcoming sequel.

The story focuses on former British Marine James Grayson, who is forced to kill his own brother - a victim of a Chimeran conversion center. This leads Grayson on a path of destruction, destroying any of these horrible places he can find, which inevitably leads him to the European resistance – the Maquis - and two new allies: Cartwright and Parker. The trio embark an a mission to retake the European continent called Operation Overstrike.

The game, which is being developed by Bend, will utilize a new engine, large scale environments, a liberal checkpoint system, a third person targeting system designed specifically for the PSP, weapons from Resistance (along with some new ones), 10 different types of enemies (some from Resistance 2) and multiplayer modes including Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Containment and Assimilation available via ad-hoc and infrastructure.

Resistance: Retribution will be released in spring 2009.
