Resistance's rather odd twin |
Listed in: PS3 Tags: aliens, Area 51, Atari, Insomniac Games, playstation 3 updates
Maybe the world doesn't really have an infinite supply of ideas. In our current realities now, there are probably a few remaining things that haven't been done already before. Fashion come and go. Hairstyles come and go. Pop culture is a recurring theme and the gaming industry is not at all spared.
Just take a look at this very peculiar similarity. We're pretty sure that you are all familiar with the picture on the right side. Why, of course, it's from the newly released FPS title Resistance: Fall of Man from Insomniac Games. The object of curiosity now is the one on the left. Believe it or not, it also came from a game: Atari 7800's Alien Brigade. Then it goes a bit more eerie. Here's the game's overview:
Alien Brigade is a first person shoot'em up in the vein of Area 51 via Atari 7800. Aliens have invaded the planet and have taken over the bodies of an army brigade. It's up to you to squash the illegal aliens and rid the Earth of it's foremost threat to civilization.
We don't want to read any comments saying Resistance pwned Alien Brigade, okay? The game, for Christ's sake, is from way before. We're just saying that it's a rather interesting similarity. There. You can go back hunting down Chimeras now.

If someone comes out with with a FPS where you run around shooting alien ships from the sky and your only protection are bunkers on the ground.
The game could be called space invading...

If it had been set in a modern or near-futuristic setting, where the old big events that have happened in real life haven't been changed or omitted (usually the right thing is to usually never mention these events at all) then I'd have been more accepting of it. Exceptions include the ones that are very comfortable enough to have enough sense of believability to it, like the hypothetical scenarios soon after the WWII eras, where the Soviet & the Allies continues to fight each other in such games like the 2D wargames (Hearts of Iron), or a game like Fallout that has the Nuclear apocalypse happening on the Earth so as to vastly ruin it & making you feel fear at the possibility of it happening in real-life!
Of course, I do like totally abstract worlds like the Psychonauts, the platform games, the medieval fantasy games (these latter ones are sure believable, plus the Jap ones are set in worlds created by imagination). I don't care about whether we will never see it in real life or whatever. We've seen these sort of things time & again in cartoons, and other media formats. But this premise in Resistance means that this game shouldn't have even been released at all! This is an embarassing affront to our humankind! The Insomniac members were so lazy & more than uninspired, which has even surprised me considering their previous games!
I can't believe that some people would stoop to that low level of standard, if it's even a standard at all when you consider the pathetic premise, to play that game! You're only desperate to play this game, because it's supposedly the only 'decent' game out for the PS3, right now. LOL!
