This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
Resistance 3 for PlayStation 3
Resistance 3 for PlayStation 3 is a first-person shooter where survival matters more than an organised counterattack. In an alternate 1957, the Chimera have largely defeated humanity. Joseph Capelli leaves his family and travels with scientist Malikov from Oklahoma towards New York. You cross abandoned places, damaged cities and areas where survivors hide. This journey gives encounters a different background from Nathan Hale’s large military campaigns.
The weapon wheel lets you choose from collected weapons. Primary and secondary shots offer different answers to cover, groups and strong enemies. Using a weapon develops new properties, so familiar equipment can behave differently later. Health does not recover automatically: you seek packs to heal damage. Winning a fight therefore also means considering what remains for the next encounter and which route may provide supplies.
You can play the complete campaign alone or locally with two players in split-screen. Each needs a PS3 controller. A standard controller is sufficient; PlayStation Move is an additional control option, not a requirement for the adventure. Motion accessories are not automatically included. Original official online services have ended. Solo and local cooperation are therefore the described ways to play the story without those servers.
Region and language
Our PlayStation 3 games are European editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
Resistance 3 for PlayStation 3 includes the manual unless the product title states otherwise. If the booklet is missing, the title says “No Manual”. This lets you see before ordering whether the game comes with a manual.
The manuals included with our games usually contain at least English and often around six European languages. The exact languages vary by edition, so Dutch is not always included. The booklet explains the controls and the main rules. You can use it to check how to control the game, which actions are available and how its different features work.
The history of Resistance 3
Insomniac Games developed Resistance 3, released by Sony for PlayStation 3 in 2011. The third game chose Joseph Capelli as protagonist and took place four years after Resistance 2. The changed world suited a survival journey rather than another similar military advance. Capelli’s family and journey with Malikov made the stakes more personal. It remained a shooter, but the survivors supplied the reason to keep travelling.
The developers restored the broad weapon wheel after the second game’s restricted equipment choices. Developing weapons through use encouraged trying different tools. Health packs changed risk management: waiting behind a wall no longer healed all damage. These decisions supported people needing supplies in a hostile world. The team thus connected returning rules to a different atmosphere and protagonist.
The complete campaign gained two-player cooperation, including local play on one console. This differed from Resistance 2’s separate cooperative missions. The original release also supported online features, but those official services ended on 8 April 2014. A later Resistance collection brought the three PS3 main games together. This standalone Resistance 3 disc contains the third adventure, not automatically the first two games or separate expansion packs.
Similar games for PlayStation 3
Resistance: Fall of Man shares the broad arsenal and local two-player campaign on PS3. The series’ beginning follows Hale defending Britain. Resistance 3 shows a later America with much less support for survivors. Capelli’s journey and weapon development through use give familiar Chimeran battles a different direction.
Resistance 2 lets you carry two weapons and recover health automatically after a respite on PS3. Resistance 3 returns to more weapons and health packs, making supply searches matter more. Cooperation changes too: two’s separate roles and missions give way to two players in three’s same main story.
Killzone 2 places you in an organised ISA invasion of Helghan on PS3. First-person cover and squad fighting define many encounters. Resistance 3 centres more on travelling survivors and switching unusual weapons. Killzone 2’s campaign is solo; Resistance 3 lets a second local player join the entire story.
Killzone 3 shares local two-player campaigning and optional Move controls on PS3. Its Helghan war uses its own vehicles, jetpacks and military weapons. Resistance 3 chooses an American journey, health packs and a developing Chimeran arsenal. Shared cooperation therefore does not mean managing supplies or equipment the same way.
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare tells a contemporary conflict through different soldiers on PS3. Resistance 3 stays closer to Capelli’s journey and alternate history. Both have set missions and allies, but Call of Duty 4’s main story is solo. Resistance 3 offers different choices through its weapon wheel, health supplies and local cooperation.
