Insomniac recently announced that the Resistance series has been concluded, with CEO Ted Price simply stating in an interview: "We won't be making any more Resistances." This may be disappointing to some of us co-op-minded folks, as Resistance 3 was a pretty solid co-op experience (we gave it a 4.5 out of 5). The good news, though, is that Insomniac will be focusing their efforts on upcoming Overstrike, another co-op shooter. What's more is that Overstrike will be available on both 360 and PS3 platforms, unlike the Resistance games, which were Playstation only. If Insomniac is planning on making Overstrike their shooter franchise in place of Resistance, then that would mean that more co-op'ers would be included, which can only be a good thing.

Hey, look - an actual surprise announcement from E3! No, really...this completely unspoiled four-player co-op shooter game was announced today (yes, today - during E3, believe it or not) by Insomniac Games - the studio behind the co-op friendly Resistance series - and a cinematic trailer was provided, to boot.

Box art; check. Release date; check. Annoying pre-order bonus program; check. Glorious co-op acronym that all developers should staple to their wall; double-check!

It seems that this generation will be defined as one of the last that we see platform exclusives.  We've seen Bungie go from Microsoft to Activision for an upcoming multiplatform title, and now another major "2nd party" studio is Insominiac - famous for the Resistance and Ratchet and Clank franchises - are now partnered with EA to bring a brand new franchise to multiple platforms.
