Additionally, the soundtrack is set to appear on iTunes beginning today. Composed by Garry Schyman the soundtrack he created really evokes the action and suspense of Resistance: Retribution. Here’s a sample of one of the tracks called “Chimera Attack.”
[audio:/files/2009/03/chimeracombat_psblogedit.mp3]Last week, Bryan Intihar at Insomniac Games wrapped up their feature stories on Resistance: Retribution at MyResistance.net. With topics ranging from The Story to The Weapons, the feature ended with information about Resistance: Retribution Connect. Check them all out here.
Finally, the Bend Studio is going to participate in a live chat tomorrow, here on the PlayStation Blog. John Garvin and Chris Reese will be on hand to answer your questions about making the game, the story, working with Insomniac, etc. Come back by the blog on March 18th at 12:00 Noon PDT and check it out.
And check out the Resistance: Retribution Facebook fan page!
I told you there was a lot of stuff!
That’s great for R:R. Let’s hope it gets more recognition.
Hopefully it picks up the torch that Resistance 2 fumbled and let die and becomes the TRUE successor to R:FoM…
Where’s the Schyman sample? I loved his Bioshock score.
Looks pretty good, a nice compliment to Killzone 2 for my pocket. I like the way the cut scenes use the narrator in addition to the regular cutscenes, I missed that in R2.
I probably be picking this up sometime next week. Guess I can finally take my copy of Prinny out of my PSP.
YES!!!!
will there be DLC???
There hasn\’t been any DLC announced for Resistance: Retribution.
All the goodness is contained within the UMD, so go out and get it!
