''Resistance: Fall of Man'' is a 2006 science-fiction horror first-person shooter video game for the PlayStation 3. It was developed by Insomniac Games and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. The game is set in an alternate history 1951, and follows Sergeant Nathan Hale as he and the human resistance forces attempt to drive a mysterious alien-like invasion out of Britain. The story continues in its sequel ''Resistance 2''. The game was originally developed under the title ''I-8'', as it was the eighth title to be in production by Insomniac Games. It was released as a PlayStation 3 launch title in Japan on November 11, 2006, in the United States on November 17, 2006 and in Europe on March 23, 2007. ''Resistance'' had positive critical reception, garnering particular praise in view of its status as a launch title and winning several awards, as well as being the first PlayStation 3 game to sell over one million copies, followed immediately by ''MotorStorm''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.insomniacgames.com/podcast/podcast.php )〕 Sony and Insomniac Games have since become embattled with the Church of England for using interior shots of Manchester Cathedral to recreate the building within the game, as well as "promoting violence" within the building. ''Resistance'' was Insomniac's first game to receive M for Mature by the ESRB. The game, along with its sequels ''Resistance 2'' and ''Resistance 3'' shut down its online servers on April 8, 2014. ==Plot== By 1949 an alien race known as the Chimera spread throughout Europe. Originating in Russia, the creatures propagate by infecting humans virally; mutating them into fellow Chimeran breeds. Their rapid infection and advanced technology (infantry commonly being armed with energy weapons) quickly overwhelm the continent as nations fall. Within months, the Chimera cross the English Channel by digging tunnels underneath and invade the United Kingdom, which quickly loses the war and has its troops scattered to military bases and outposts. In 1951, the game begins with the protagonist Sgt. Nathan Hale, on his way with a large United States task force, to retrieve a secret weapon that the British claim can be used against the Chimera in exchange for supplies. However, soon after landing in York, the forces are ambushed by the Chimera and the remnants are quickly wiped out by a Chimeran spire attack, which unleashes insect like creatures that infect all of the soldiers. Hale, the only survivor, resists the full effects of infection and does not go into a coma. Instead, he possesses increased strength, health regeneration and gold-colored irises, somewhat like the Chimera. Hale continues on his mission, meeting and rescuing Captain Rachel Parker while escaping from a Chimeran biological conversion center in Grimsby. Parker then assists Hale over the radio for the rest of his mission.〔(This profile ) from ''PlayStation: The Official Magazine'' verifies much of the character's fictional biography and demonstrations the extent of coverage she has received in previews of the game.〕 Hale and the British forces eventually manage to recover the secret weapon in Manchester and deliver it to one of the resistance's headquarters in Cheshire, only to find it under attack by Chimeran forces. It is revealed that the secret weapon is actually an Angel, a Chimeran creature that British Intelligence was able to capture. The Angels are the most powerful form of Chimeran creature, thought to control the rest of the Chimera forces through a form of telepathy. The Angel attempts to enter Hale's mind, but he manages to shoot the creature in the head with his rifle, killing it. Hale proceeds with the war effort, assisted by Lieutenant Stephen Cartwright, a British Royal Marines Commando. The two of them eventually discover that the Chimera have established a series of metallic towers containing Angels throughout Britain, all inter-connected by a series of underground power conduits. Evidence indicates that the towers were excavated, not constructed, adding more mystery to the origin of the Chimera. After helping the resistance evacuate their last major stronghold in Bristol as the Chimera wipe it out, Hale enters the underground Chimeran tunnels and discovers that the main tower in Britain is located in London. Hale deduces that destroying this central tower will result in the total defeat of the Chimera in Britain. The British and American forces launch one final desperate attack against the main Chimeran tower in London. Hale manages to reach the top of the tower and destroys its central reactor, resulting in a massive explosion that obliterates the tower. This sets off a chain reaction along the Chimeran conduit network, destroying all the towers in Britain and killing all of the Angels inside. With the Angels dead, the remaining Chimeran forces quickly die off within minutes. Britain is saved from the Chimeran occupation. Hale is presumed to have been killed in the explosion and the Americans list him as killed in action. Parker is not convinced, though, and believes that Hale may have managed to survive somehow. Hale is in fact alive, walking through the snow with only a single grenade. Suddenly, he is intercepted by a squad of soldiers wearing an unusual insignia, appearing to be special forces. Hale briefly contemplates killing them as well as himself with the grenade, but ultimately drops the grenade and allows himself to be taken by the soldiers, flying away in their transport helicopter. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Resistance: Fall of Man」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
