October 11, 2009 - Coming as a shock to no one, it would appear Insomniac Games is hard at work on a third title in the Resistance franchise for PlayStation 3.

Photos surfacing on NeoGAF claim to be taken from the set of a movie being filmed in Shreveport, Louisiana. The film has been identified as "Battle: Los Angeles" and is set for release in February 2011, according to an IMDB listing. The movie is also being produced and distributed by Columbia Pictures, which is owned by Sony Pictures Entertainment. Like Resistance, the plot of this film is also centered around an alien invasion.

It would appear this is a situation where the billboard advertisement had to be made well in advance of the game's announcement so it could be placed in the film during shooting.

When asked for comment, an Insomniac Games representative didn't exactly deny the legitimacy of this billboard, only telling IGN, "We've made no announcements at this time."

Provided this billboard is in fact real, it would seem the third game will primarily take place in New York City, given how both the Statue of Liberty and Empire State Building can be seen in the logo's lettering.

Insomniac Games has alternated release years between Ratchet & Clank and Resistance titles. With Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time set for release this month, a holiday 2010 release for Resistance 3 seems like a sure bet at this point.

This one doesn't mean anything but does confirm that their working on their new game...
