Oh PCB Productions. How you have broken our hearts. After listing Syphon Filter 5 and more recently SOCOM 4 in the credits section of their website many believed the reality of new games in the popular franchises being under development. Alas, they are not.
“I apologize for the confusion. There appears to be some errors on our credits,” said a PCB rep.
“Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror was recorded a few years back with Image Metrics,” they said, adding: “We recently worked on Socom FTB 3 for the PSP.”
So no SOCOM 4 nor Syphon Filter 5 then? Well, not yet anyway!
Resistance Retribution May Be The Best Of The Series So Far.
It seems odd crowning Resistance Retribution, a game not developed by series creator Insomniac Games, as the best in the series. However we are fastly being converted to the idea that the PSP iteration of the popular shooter really is the best in the series. Yesterday we gave the game 4 Squares in our review. Naturally, the multiplayer doesn’t compete with the massive focus in Resistance 2 (although it does hold its own). However it’s the single player campaign that’s had us most impressed.
Here are the top five reasons that Resistance Retribution is a real winner on the PSP:
Resistance Retribution on Playstation Portable Review.
The Resistance franchise returns emphatically, this time on the PSP. Resistance Retribution offers splendid visuals, cohesive storytelling and likable characters, all within a package that fits inside your pocket.
Sony Bend, the team currently putting the finishing touches to Resistance Retribution, may well be working on a next-generation version of Syphon Filter. According to multiplesources, the team responsible for every Syphon Filter to date have been looking for a full-time programmer who has PS3 experience.
“Means nothing,” you may scoff. And we agreed until we also found out about a “Credits” page on digital content company PCB Production’s website. Scroll down a little bit and you’ll see they list their “Facial Mo-Cap” work for… Sony Bend’s Syphon Filter 5.
Colour this rumour for now but expect an announcement at E3.
Resistance Retribution on Playstation Portable Hands-On Impressions.
We’re big fans of the Resistance series. We thoroughly enjoyed the slow-paced gameplay of Fall Of Man and loved the scale of Resistance 2. Hearing that the series was making it’s way to the PSP we were mildly excited but somewhat sceptical. How the hell can they port a game like Resistance to the PSP? It’s been done with mixed response.
Meet Grayson and a host of new characters in this story trailer for upcoming PSP shooter Resistance Retribution. Colour us pretty darned excited for this one.
You may have heard that if you own a copy of Resistance 2 and upcoming PSP title Resistance Retribution you’ll be able to “infect” your copy of the PSP game. But what difference does the infected mode have on the game? GameTrailers have a knocked up a video to show you.
Remember, those who “infect” their copy of the PSP game will also be able to play the game with a DualShock 3 controller.
