Resistance 3 Pre-order Bonuses: Hale Returns, SRPA Black Ops and more

Do you like burning Chimera to a crisp with Air Fuel Grenades? Maybe you want to play as Nathan Hale on the Chimeran battlefield? Or perhaps you’d rather wear Chimera teeth as a war trophy? If so, we’ve got something special for you. Today, we’re announcing the Resistance 3 pre-order program, offering unique packages and bonuses to customize your Resistance 3 experience when it launches this fall

Here’s the full rundown:

GameStop

Joseph Capelli wears a necklace of Chimeran teeth during Resistance 3. Show that you are the resistance with this authentic replica that symbolizes the battle against the Chimera.

Pre-ordering at GameStop grants access to a unique multiplayer booster, which allows you to start Resistance 3 multiplayer at Level 5. This also offers immediate flexibility and character customization options from the moment you begin the online competitive game.

Wal-Mart

Show off your Resistance 3 fandom in competitive online play with this pre-order package that offers a special set of five custom name titles, including Sentinel. The Sentinels are an elite group of soldiers in Resistance, and the only way to obtain these exclusive multiplayer PSN tags is by pre-ordering at Wal-Mart.

Amazon

The No. 60 Air Fuel Grenade has been issued for combating Chimera in tight spaces commonly found in urban conflicts. The grenade will adhere to almost any surface, biological or otherwise, and deploy a cloud of flammable vapor. Once released, the cloud ignites, creating a massive explosion.

This fan favorite grenade makes a special return to the single-player campaign of Resistance 3 – but only for those who pre-order from Amazon.

Best Buy

Lt. Nathan Hale skipped his viral inhibitor treatments in the final hours of Resistance 2 in order to continue the fight against the Chimera. Play as him in his final hours with this special multiplayer skin, letting you bring Hale to the battlefields of Resistance 3.

Love a good victory dance after a win? Show off your skills by using a special Best Buy exclusive ability in multiplayer to taunt your fallen enemies. Only the most skilled players can forsake another ability in order to taunt their enemies.

Canada and other U.S. retailers

The backbone of the US effort against the Chimera during the war, Black Ops troops were a common site at SRPA facilities and during special operations. Mostly killed and destroyed, this special multiplayer skin lets you return as one of the most mysterious soldiers from R:FOM and R2.

Resistance 3, the latest installment of the post-apocalyptic franchise from Insomniac Games, invades North American store shelves on September 6th, 2011.

  • will their be a collectors edition of this game that will include a “Super Voucher” like InFamous 2?

  • Oh man, this is all some good stuff, not sure which store I should pre-order from, since I don’t know if any of these will be in the PS Store later.

  • Special edition in America? What, when, and where? (Amazon hopefully) Will be my second special edition, first one being MGS4!

  • When will these be available????

  • Wait, so the air fuel grenade will NOT be in Resistance 3 single player campaign unless we pre-order from Amazon? I was planning to buy from Amazon anyway but how can they take out a weapon that was heavily used in the other 2 games?

  • So, no goodies for the fans of the series who’ve played them all?

  • Yo James !!! For future Reference I Know you Guys Developers here this ALL The Time. Please Make Co Op A Real Co Op. 4 Player Co Op From Begining to End Of Campaign. Good Example Socom 4 I Hated Playing With The Computer The AI Is Just Plain Stupid. Playing With AI Controlled Characters In My Opinion Should Only Be For People Who Don’t Have The Internet. I’d Like R3 Even More If It Had 4 Players From Start To Finish Games Would sell That Much More If You Guys Would Focus On The Campaign As Much As The Multiplayer. You Guys Have 50 Gigs To Work With, It’s Inexcusable To Have 7 Gig games On PS3. James Is It Possible To Incorporate Playstation Home Into Every Game You Guys Make ? For Example I Could Unlock Clothes Personal Spaces & PSN ID Avatars From Getting Certain Trophies In Your Games ? Think ABout It, Say Someone Doesn’t Like R3 But They Love Home And & PSN ID Avatars, They’d Buy R3 Just To Unlock The Personal Spaces & Other Home Related Items. Now This Must Be On The Limited Edition R3. I’d Buy Alot Of Games I Don’t Even Like Just To Get These Simple Things.

  • This look awesome cant freakin wait for it D:

  • i’ve already got mine pre-ordered and paid off for at gamestop cant wait!

  • Okay, I guess the Special Edition or Survivor Edition that Europe is getting is NOT coming to the States? No one replied to any of the questions about it. This is disappointing news for me cause I want the Survivor Edition for the collections and all the bonuses, but I’ll be missing out on all but one of the bonuses.

  • Im not getting resistance 3………..gotta preorder MW3

  • Already have Resistance 3 pre-ordered. Hopefully we will get more than just a multiplayer pre-order incentive added on through Gamestop before this game launches. I have been a supporter of this franchise since RFOM, and I hope only good things come for Insomniac and from them for many years to come.

  • I really hate pre-order bonuses, I feel like there is no way I can experience the full game unless I buy the game 5 times. I love Resistance and now I’m gonna have to wait days (rather than first day pick up as usual) for it to ship on amazon because I want the airfuel grenade, and I miss out on Hale and SRPA blackops skins. (I don’t want to play as dirty hobos, even if that is the resistance)

    Also on MP, have you confirmed whether it is weapon spawns or weapon loadouts in MP? I think with the smaller player count that weapon spawns would be better. Ahhhh I have so many questions, when will be getting more info on the actual game? Everyone keeps posting the same info again and again.

  • One Question Is The Survivor Edition Coming To The US Also ? I’ve Owned Rfom And R2 Loved Them Both Turned Into An Insomniac Myself But No Survivor Edition In The US Would Feel Like A Slap In The Face And I’ll Be Saying Bye To The Franchise That Started It All For Me With The Original PS3 Launch Some Odd Years Ago.Today Was A Very Bad Day For Me I Was Just About To Go Preorder Before I Looked On The Blog

  • will there be a demo?

  • hmm id love the necklace…..but id love to still be able to be hale.

    i love that you get stuff for preoders but the way it always works out bites me in the butt. i get that you dont have to give us extras but stop makin stuff store exclusive, if i want more then one thing i have to preorder from more then one store, and in some cases people live where some of those stores dont exist and most retailers f u if u order online like walmart did with my killzone maps i had to end up buying even though it was supposed to be free.

    .do like you did with infamouse hero package and give super vouchers. great idea

  • Goodbye gamestop HELLO BEST BUY! nathan hale!!!!!!

  • I have had this game pre-ordered since it could be pre-ordered i called GS everyday for 3 months asking them if they were taking orders yet i cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best FPS in my book

  • Wait, so if we get the Air Fuel grenades, they replace the pick-ups for the new grenade in R3’s multiplayer? What if we want to pick up the new grenades as well, can we toggle whether or not the Air Fuel grenades appear?

  • xX-StolenSoul-Xx

    Looks pretty neat, i’ve never played Ressistance but i do like these kind of Games. Killzone 3 and Crysis 2 are both good examples.

  • I’m still waiting to be able to redeem my pre-order bonuses for Motorstorm Apocalypse and LA Noire. So it’s really hard to care about the nebulous promise that maybe we’ll be able to get pre-order bonuses with yet another game.

  • I cannot express how much I want that necklace.

    May I say how disappointed I am to see Capelli return. I wanted Grayson to make a debut in the resistance in Russia. At the least have a split campaign. Capelli was a blank character, and his story in this seems…boring.

    And insomniac made the hybrids too little/human looking! xD

    I LOVE
    the idea behind resistance however. Earth/humanity defeated and conquered. I would’ve been upset had we actually won!!! The chimera were too unstoppable.

    :) favorite series of all time.

  • So what if I want all of them?
    A special edition?
    I might get the teeth, if it’s a real item.

  • @Detective-E Yes its a real item i called GS were my pre-order was and they said that theyed have them day of the release

  • Do Canadian GameStop pre-orders get that flippin’ awesome necklace as well? Please say yes, else suffer the wrath a million Chimeran Angels. :D

  • WOOOOOOOOOOOO sounds very exciting! i’ll prob preorder gamestop special edition or what ever edition there is. I would like that nathan hale skin but i don’t live in america so im not sure……Still very excited ! been following this since the beginning and not gona stop know will there be a S.R.P.A spec ops skin ? those guys looked so cool.

  • Ok, James Stevenson or somebody else who knows things. Please answer this question: Will people in Canada only be able to get the black-ops and none of the other pre-order bonuses? If so, that really sucks. Pease respond.

  • If I do pre-order the game, I’d probably do it at Best Buy for the Hale skin. BTW is Hale going 2b a Chimeran skin or Humanity skin (just wondering since he was suppose to become a chimera if he didn’t get killed in Resistance 2)?

  • So then any word on collector editions for US?

  • amazing game. Pre-orders look good too.

  • Are they going to be available in the PS Store after release and what is the Multiplayer skin that comes with the double pack of Resistance and will that be in the PS Store as well? Sorry for all of the questions I am a “HUGE” fan of Resistance Universe ( I have all the comic books, novels, games and DLC).
    I just don’t want to feel left out for not pre-ordering from everywhere. If there is a “Collectors Edition” of the game with everything in it that is a “Day 1” purchase for me.

  • RES3 Looking Good.

    Uhm…Store Update please. Enough is enough already.

  • woooooooooooooooooooooo i should already get this from gamestop i have mine paid for already.

  • Cool now get the store up.

  • Thanks for not adding the 10,000 kill trophy in Resistance 3, because it sucks major @ass in Resistance 2. It’s the only trophy I need left for the platinum and I’m thinking about giving up on it.

  • Will these items be pre-order exclusice? or will they be later available on the Playstation Store. If the latter, I’m guessing it would be best to pre-order from Gamestop since it is the only tangible pre-order bonus.

    I ask because I’m aware some other games (MAG and Infamous off the top of my head) make them available on the Playstation Store at a later date for a small fee or free. In fact, MAG’s pre-order bonus came free to all just 2 months after release if I recall correctly.

  • for real come on man the store up i have called 20 time and you gt the run around

  • It’s nice to hear about all these games and special edition packages but when are we going to get an update on playstation store? Soon Please?

  • never played this game before is there story line from 1 and 2 to follow or can u just jump and play the 3rd one

  • i play COD but this game sounds good might have t check out wat the multiplayer has to offer..

  • I want it to be 64 people online again , cause it was mayhem i actually enjoy it when i kept dying cause it was fun and crazy I LOVE IT please bring back the 64 ppl online again :(

  • Is there any glitches in this game?

  • Sure hope the PSN Store is up by the time this comes out so I can redeem the bonuses……

  • Curse you, Sony. I will now have to pre-order the game multiple times.

  • Looks like I won’t be getting any of the special editions. I hate that they split the bonus items by store here in the US but in Europe they get all of it no matter where they order it.

  • i remember resistance 1 and 2 R:FOM was the first game i played on ps3 and it was great. Multiplayer was amazing giant 60 man battles defending cores and flatout killing people in giagantic clusterf$&^s with my carbine. When Hale was killed i thought that it would be hard to make a 3rd and i still think that it may have been a bad idea but considering how confident you sound youve been trying to make this work. BUT PLEASE since im still keeping faith in the franchise find some way to bring back 60 people or atleast like 24 it was the best part and i enjoyed small maps but dont alienate the big maps they were the first reason i bought the second one

  • canada = s.o.l
    amazon.ca, game stop, wal mart.ca has no mention of pre order bonuses.
    guess i’ll wait and see if there’ll be a CE

  • If I preorder from best buy to get the hale skin dose that mean I also I get the black ops skin just for preordering?

  • The_Annihilator

    Please, tell me when the store is coming back. I need it, it will cure the tumors growing in my brain from lack of downloading stuff.

  • “How is that a bad thing?”
    -well small maps like Busyard, Subway, Rooftops, and Bayou also supported more than 8 players….. Not only that, but there were plenty of highly popular large scale maps too. The MP looks cool and all, but I think i’ll be getting this mainly for the SP
