Rumor: Resistance 3 teased via Louisiana billboard ad

The Resistance series was one of the first franchises to grace the PS3. Both Fall of Man and its sequel have been well received by the general public and Resistance: Retribution on the PSP followed suit. We really haven’t started thinking about the inevitable Resistance sequel yet but apparently Insomniac Games has decided to start putting ideas in our heads a bit early.

A picture was posted on the NeoGAF forums of a billboard that bears the Resistance 3 logo. The picture of the billboard was taken in Shreveport, Louisiana (USA) (where gas is almost $3 a gallon). A closer look at the advertisement shows images of the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building within the logo text. The newly designed PS3 logo can also be found in the top left corner of the billboard.

Seeing as how this information came from NeoGAF it’s important to not take this rumor as fact. After all, people can do amazing things with Photoshop these days. Even so, let’s entertain and examine the notion of this being real for a second.

The first Resistance debuted on November 17, 2006m in the United States. Resistance 2 was released November 4, 2008, almost exactly two years later. Insomniac Games’ other big PS3 franchise, the Ratchet and Clank Future series debuted on October 23, 2007. Its newest game, A Crack in Time will be released on October 27, 2009, again two years later.

Whether this proves to be true or a blatant fabrication, it has succeeded in getting Resistance back on our brains.

Editor’s Note: Also notice that the image includes a darker rectangular area centered under the logo, which is typically where a slogan or release date is posted. Either it was intentionally left blank for a future date to be pasted over, the date was simply painted over, the date or slogan was blurred out by the photog (to keep that morsel for their own site) or it is simply a leftover section of mis-colored pixels due to sloppy image manipulation.
