Insomniac Games, the developer behind the upcoming Resistance 3 first-person shooter has just revealed a new video and a batch of screenshots for its new iteration in the popular shooter series.

The existence of Resistance 3 has been known for quite some time, but only recently have we actually learned concrete details about its story and seen a video with one of its special levels.

Now, Insomniac Games has decided to share a few more things with fans of the shooter series, and posted a new video and screenshots from a previously unseen stage, set in Haven, Oklahoma.

"Our new hero, former Sentinel Joseph Capelli, has taken up arms with his fellow Haven citizens to defend the town from Chimeran forces. The fighters are trying to buy enough time for an evacuation of Haven, as a Chimeran terraformer is closing on the city and threatens to wipe it off the map," revealed the studio on the PlayStation Blog.

"As the battle wages on and the terraformer nears, you see the wind begin to pick up… and then the Chimeran Brawler arrives to turn the tide of the battle," concluded James Stevenson, senior community manager at Insomniac.

Resistance 3 approaches the war between humans and the evil Chimera monsters from a different direction than the first two games as well as the PSP-only Resistance: Retribution.

Instead of being part of an organized army that wants to stop the Chimera, like Nathan Hale, Joe Capelli is pretty much on his own, and tries to make it across the USA to New York City, in order to find out if the Chimera can be stopped.

Things will be much darker this time around and Insomniac wants to really deliver a quality story that will resonate with players.

The game is set to appear on September 6, exclusively on the PlayStation 3, but you can check out the new Resistance 3 video and screenshots below.
