5. Resistance
Created by “Ratchet and Clank” developer Insomniac Games, “Resistance: Fall of Man” was a launch title for the Playstation 3 that centered around an alien invasion in 1950’s Europe. Set in an alternate timeline where World War II never happened, Russia is suddenly hit with an alien virus that turns humans into alien hybrids known as the Chimera. However, when the alien virus and its incoming chimera forces reach the shores of England, Sargent Nathan Hale unexpectedly survives the virus infection and gains new-found abilities thanks to the alien DNA mixing with his own.
Sure, alien movies have been done to death in the past, but if the success of 10 Cloverfield Lane indicates anything, it’s that an alien invasion movie done extremely well can still exist. Not only does the story leave a lot to be explored in a cinematic universe, but it would definitely be a breath of fresh air to see an extraterrestrial invasion happen outside the United States. With the franchise laying dormant since the mixed reception of “Resistance: Burning Skies” in 2012, it’s time Sony explore the universe further in film fashion.
