Bend Studio, the first-party developer for PlayStation Studios, has given players renowned games over the years such as Syphon Filter and Days Gone. The studio has now announced that one 15-year-old game from its library is returning for PS4 and PS5 as part of the PS Plus Premium Classics catalog.
Resistance: Retribution is a third-person shooter title that was originally released for PlayStation Portable back in 2009 and is now available with new trophies for PS4 and PS5 players. The game had a strong fanbase back in the day, and fans are excited about the re-release of the title.
Bend Studio’s Resistance: Retribution, is releasing for PS4 and PS5
Bend Studio announced that Resistance: Retribution is now available to play on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles via its official X/Twitter handle and also shared concept art for the re-release of the title. The game is the only third-person shooter in the popular franchise, and Bend developed the game along with original franchise creator Insomniac Games.
The game is a spin-off title and is set between Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 2, two months after the events of Fall of Man, to be specific. The game introduced a new protagonist called James Grayson, who is a former British Marine. The story follows him as he sets out to destroy Chimeran conversion centers where humans are being converted into an alien species.
He soon discovers that the Chimera has evolved a new method of converting humans into chimera. The game received mostly positive reviews from fans and critics alike for its story and presentation. Its level designs, cover mechanics, and checkpoints have also been appreciated, but some elements were also criticized for being the same as in older titles in the franchise.
Resistance: Retribution has new trophies on PS4 and PS5
The game is only available to download digitally for players with PS Plus Premium and Extra subscriptions, but players will also be able to purchase it as a standalone title. Bend has announced that the game has “a shiny new PlayStation Trophy list” for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, just like other classics that have been released for PS4 and PS5.
Moreover, the game has also been enhanced with up-rendering and has received more features such as rewind, quick save, and custom video filters for an exciting and more smooth experience. The game also had 8-player online multiplayer with several modes such as Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Containment, and Assimilation. However, it was later disabled and will not be available in the re-released version.
The game’s re-release has players buzzing, with many asking the developer for new Resistance games and remasters or remakes of the PSP game. The players also inquired if the Infected mode would be available to play in the game once they had completed the story.
