After the series' disappointing Vita outing , this could be your last chance to enjoy some good Resistance online on a handheld. In our Resistance: Retribution review we called it "excellent," and said it had the strongest multiplayer seen to that point in a PSP game, giving it a 9.2 in 2009.Almost six years after its release, it may come as a surprise that Sony's servers are still hosting online matches for the aging portable shooter, especially with the series failing to meet sales expectations While Sony recently filed a new trademark for Resistance , there has been no official word on whether we will see another entry in the series.
