It's looking good seeing as how it's still in development.

Taken from wikipedia

"Resistance 3 is an upcoming 2011 science fiction first person shooter video game developed by Insomniac Games and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 3. The game is the third title in the Resistance series and is the sequel to the best-selling PlayStation 3 launch title Resistance: Fall of Man and its first sequel, Resistance 2.
August 1957, United States is lost. Four years after Resistance 2, dishonorably discharged sentinel Joseph Capelli has given up fighting the Chimeran menace; he has been reduced to hiding with other survivors, including his wife and young son. When Dr Fyodor Malikov arrives with the opportunity to deliver a blow to the occupying Chimeran force, Capelli leaves his family to journey the harrowing road from Oklahoma to New York City. Along the way, he encounters the remants of humanity left in the aftermath of the brutal Chimeran invasion."
The game will retain mostly the same gameplay mechanics as it predecessor albeit with several changes. The weapon wheel from the first Resistance game will be returning after it was excluded from Resistance 2. There will also be new environmental objects such as chimeran plants which explode when shot at. The game will see a mixture of new and old weapons; returning weapons include the Bullseye, Magnum, Shotgun, Auger and Carbine, while one of the new weapons is the Mutator which shoots biological mists causing enemies to eventually explode causing splash damage, as well as a new grenade which is shaped like a food can which releases an arsenal of nails when it explodes. All weapons are upgradeable, and become more powerful the more they are used. In line with the survival theme of Resistance 3, humans are forced to assemble their weapons from whatever scrap they can gather. Frag grenades, for example, are constructed from bean cans with nails attached to them.

Multiplayer

Online competitive modes focuses on being more organized, and less clustered than that of Resistance 2. There is a co-operative mode where players can team up to play through the story mode either online or split-screen.[4] Gameinformer's podcast revealed that there will be no 8 player co-op like in Resistance 2.[5] The multiplayer maps are set in locations around the world such as the Fort Lamy prison in the Republic of Chad, Africa. Some of these maps are not included in the story mode.

Development

In 2009, a promotional billboard for Resistance 3 was spotted on a location set for Battle: Los Angeles, an upcoming film by Columbia Pictures (a subsidiary of Sony) to be released in early 2011. Though neither Sony nor Insomniac Games commented on the appearance, Insomniac announced on May 25, 2010 that, in addition to creating a new multiplatform franchise, they would be developing multiple games exclusively for the PlayStation 3. The game was officially announced at Sony's Gamescom 2010 press conference in Cologne, Germany on August 17, 2010 alongside a live-action trailer for the game.On September 28, 2010, leaked concept art and screenshots were released onto a Flickr account which depict a number of different Chimera and two unidentified human characters (later confirmed in Game Informer's November 2010 cover story as Joseph Capelli and Susan Farley). When asked about the authenticity of the images, Insomniac replied with "no comment".[8] The first gameplay was revealed at the Spike Video Game Awards, showing off some new weapons and enemies.

a brief look at the story :

America is lost. Four years after the epic conclusion of Resistance 2, dishonorably discharged Sentinel Joseph Capelli is in hiding from the invading Chimeran menace with a pocket of survivors, including his new wife and young son. But when Dr. Fyodor Malikov arrives with a desperate plan, he sets into motions the events of Resistance 3, the third installment in the popular full-featured first-person shooter series. Resistance 3 is created by critically-acclaimed developer Insomniac Games exclusively for the PlayStation 3 system.

Set in a brutal, alternate 1950s universe, America has been successfully conquered and destroyed by the deadly Chimeran race, forcing the last remaining human survivors to seek refuge in hiding. Players must take on the role of Joseph Capelli, the last surviving Sentinel from a clandestine military program, as he comes out of hiding to journey across a land of ruin in a heroic fight for survival against the merciless Chimera. In addition to an epic single-player campaign, Resistance 3 will offer two-player online or split-screen co-op through the single-player campaign, and a new, focused progression-based multiplayer experience.

How is no body talking about Resistance 3?
The game is fucking awesome

I play games like Gears of War and Call of Duty and Battlefield Bad Company 2 and Crysis 2 expecting them to be really average but Resistance 3 is pretty much everything a shooter should be.

Its not the greatest game ever and it has its flaws but its still a step in the right direction and its good to see that Insomniac a company that usually just makes platformers can make a better FPS than a company like Infinity Ward.
