Resistance 3 unveiled at gamescom

Sony has revealed that a third instalment in the PS3-exclusive Resistance series is on the way.

The announcement was made during the platform holder's gamescom conference, as you'll know if you followed our live blog of the event.

A trailer showed trains filled with dirty, miserable-looking passengers, heading down bloody railroad tracks through ruined landscapes. Also: aliens.

Sony didn't say when the game would be out. However, a message on Insomniac Games' Twitter page reveals that Resistance 3 is "coming to PS3 in 2011".
