Resistance: Fall of Man, previously under the working title I-8, is a critically acclaimed, sci-fi-based first-person shooter video game developed by Insomniac Games, the makers of the popular Spyro the Dragon (only the PS1 outings) and Ratchet & Clank series for the PlayStation 2. Exclusively for the Sony PlayStation 3, as a launch title, it was released on November 11, 2006 in Japan with US launch on November 14, 2006.
Resistance: Fall of Man follows an alternate history where the world did not experience World War II, the Great Depression, or the rise of Communism in Russia. A relative era of peace ensues following the Great War, ending with the revelation of a ruthless and destructive race dubbed the Chimera. In 1951, the year in which the game takes place, England finds itself under invasion. Little is known about the Chimera and their origins remain unclear. Both Asia and Europe appear to have already fallen to the Chimera in short order by this time.
The game follows the story of U.S. Army Ranger Sgt. Nathan Hale. Hale's US Ranger Unit lands in Britain to aid in fending off the Chimera only to be infected with a Chimeran virus and have everyone fall into a coma shortly thereafter. Hale appears to be spared as he is the only one that manages to awaken and becomes aware of the Chimeran plot due to the infection inside of him. As a result, he becomes the key figure in a desperate operation that is launched to try and halt the invasion. The next three days are chronicled in the game as the U.S. and British forces band together in a last-ditch effort to save what is left.
