----
The third game in Sony's Resistance franchise, and designed
exclusively for PlayStation Portable, Resistance: Retribution is
a third-person perspective shooter that continues the story of
humanity's battle against the alien-like Chimera and the
biological terror they threaten the world with. Set in an
alternate Earth history, circa 1951, the game takes place between
the events of PlayStation 3 blockbusters Resistance: Fall of Man
and Resistance 2. In this game world, although WWII never
happened, mass destruction on a worldwide scale remains
humanity's e, and retribution against and eventual conquest of
the Chimera are the player's goals.
New Story, New Anti-hero
Resistance: Retribution follows the story of former British
Marine, James Grayson. A veteran of the struggle against the
Chimera in Britain following their conquest of the European
continent, he did not escape those battles unwounded. Months
prior to his entrance into the game, while leading an attack on a
Chimera conversion facility--locations where humans are changed
into monstrous slaves serving the Chimera--he was forced to kill
his own brother in order to keep him from turning into one of
these abominations. Following this Grayson goes on a vendetta to
destroy every conversion center he can find, eventually even
deserting his unit to fulfill his lust for revenge, a crime which
he would be locked up for. Unfortunately, for all his compulsion,
success and sacrifice Grayson learns that his efforts have been
futile. In Western Europe the Chimera have evolved a new method
of converting humans, one about which nearly nothing is known.
Aware of his experience with the Chimera, the European
resistance--the Maquis--enlist Grayson's help, and he joins
Cartwright and Parker in Operation Overstrike, and so the war to
retake the European continent and the game begins.
Advanced Targeting and Cover System
With easy access to a weapons inventory, reloading commands,
intel and player movement options, gameplay in Resistance:
Retribution is easy to pick up and generally similar to many
third-person shooters on the PSP platform, but two things also
make it a stand out, its advanced targeting and cover system.
Unlike many other games that limit players to manual firing,
Resistance: Retribution gives players the option of assist.
Accessible quickly through the options menu, this allows players
the choice of automatically locking on to the closest enemy
target, to target manually or toggle between the two. Similarly,
unlike other games that require you to push a button to lock you
to a piece of game environment to be used as cover, here that is
automatic. Just walk up to to a wall or ledge and Grayson will
duck behind it automatically and will stay ducked even as he
creeps from side to side. And since assist is constantly
active you are also able to time your fire and weapon sw
from the safety of cover.

Game Modes
One of the things that sets Resistance: Retribution apart from
other shooters on the PSP is the variety of ways to play. Along
with a compelling singleplayer campaign it also comes packed with
multiplayer options that wirelessly support up to eight players
in both ad hoc and infrastructure configurations. Along with
familiar modes such as Team Deathmatch and Capture the ,
players will also enjoy two modes called Containment and
Assimilation. In addition, players who have a PS3 and a copy of
Resistance 2 will also have access to two additional modes,
"Infected Mode" and "Resistance Retribution Plus" via the
"Resistance Connect" game feature. To access Resistance Connect,
players simply load their copies of Resistance: Retribution and
Resistance 2, then connect your PSP system to your PS3. Once
you’re connected, Resistance: Retribution becomes "infected."
Infected Mode
Infected Mode provides an alternate story within Resistance:
Retribution. While in prison for desertion, James Grayson is
recruited by Specter Lieutenant David LaSalle (from Resistance 2)
and is infected with a mutated version of the Chimera virus, a
different version of the virus than the virus that infects Nathan
Hale. While playing in Infected Mode, Grayson wears a SRPA
uniform and now has glowing Chimera eyes. Grayson now has
regenerative and can breathe underwater. The HE .44 Magnum
from Resistance 2, which fires explosive rounds that can be
triggered remotely becomes available as a weapon. An entirely new
class of intelligence also becomes available that is hidden
throughout the levels. Collecting all of the "infected" intel
will unlock another Resistance 2 weapon, Plasma Grenades. In
addition, thanks to your new Chimera you will have access to
areas of the game previously unavailable, as well as experience
new AI interactions with the characters you meet through out the
game play.
Resistance: Retribution Plus
Resistance: Retribution Plus allows you to play the game using
your PS3's DUALSHOCK 3 controller, while adding dual analog stick
controls and rumble support. Simply activate this feature through
Resistance 2, and then play the game on your PSP screen or
through your televisions using the available video out function.
This mode increases the challenge level and disables assist,
allowing you to experience the game in an entirely new way.
