The Chimera | Resistance

In 1949 the Chimera broke out from the Russian wall and flooded into Western Europe. Within a decade they have overrun the entire planet and reduced humanity to a scattered few resistance groups.

[@JohnnyElRed]

I always found the Chimera as the most terrifying alien species ever. Not as much because they transformed humanity into an endangered species (but also every encounter with them was terrifying in the games, making you clear that there was no way to winning a war against them), as because they are a virus hive mind. You might think "there are plenty of those in fiction". Yeah, but normally they are animalistic. Unlike the Chimera, who have technology thousands of years more advanced than humankind.

[@robertpurner7413]

[@SuperGman117]

Resistance had so much potential and it deserves a spotlight! Honestly, if they made a prequel set in Russia, I think it could be successful. Imagine that: A survival horror game that puts the player into a scenario in which the armies of the largest country on Earth are starting to be overrun. Malikov creates the Cloven. The Cloven go crazy and sack Moscow. You could be put up against early Chimeran warriors, the Cloven, and even hostile humans desperate to survive. You could even encounter the series' "mythical" creatures, like the Leben Geist. If they wanted to stick with the military theme of the previous games, then they could make the protagonist a soldier and maybe have him be part of an effort to stop the Chimera from breaching the border wall. It would really stand out among other games of the genre, as it's a unique mix between an alien invasion scenario and a sort of zombie apocalypse.

Kill anyone who doesn't wear Shoes - Lieutenant Cartwright

[@Kalebfenoir]

It really makes you wonder... In the ancient past, the Chimera clearly had dominated the planet; they'd not only had the time to build all their towers and nexus points and all that, and all the underground infrastructure connecting them, but then something happened, and they all just packed up, put everything away underground and 'left', or went into dormancy. Imagine building a house for yourself with all the trimmings and shiny bits...only to turn the power off, drain the pipes, lock and board the doors up, and then erase the road leading to while you went and took a nap outside in the firepit. Checking the Wiki, it mentions that they ran afoul of another race, which might be why they packed up and left. Which begs the question... who was so powerful that, even if they didn't attack the Chimera-infested Earth of the past, it made them pull ALL their resources and creations away, and had them HIDE their stuff so it wouldn't be found easily? Bury it so deep that humanity never even knew it was there, no matter where we dug or how we dug, until that day in Russia....

Great video, the lore around the Chimera was nicely balanced between explained and mystery to keep you interested. Also, I'm now remembering the days of playing Resistance 2 online co-op. Now that was some real fun either it be with the full 8 players or just 2 players! I always picked the special-ops class :)

[@tonts5329]

The Online Co-op was great! Though I personally disliked the Competitive. I never got the hang of using the Wraith miniguns, which most of the players, seemed to exploit, back when the servers were still running.

"This war may already be lost" best words I heard from the radio in the game.

'May already be lost' is a bit optimistic. Humanity was on its way to extinction, pushed below the threshold. Too few survivors to breed clean. Byeeee.

[@RSTBKT]

true, but I will add, Humans came form somewhere, we were small populace then we expanded. I could see the same here, but it just takes hundreds or some some thousands of years before they get back to free chimera numbers just like in our real universe over the thousands of years humans existed

We also know that these Aliens were curious enough the explore Human environments and we still don't know what kind of ship we saw in the sky. I think the reason I love these ones so much is they are so much cooler and scarier than the older ones, I still have nightmares about them to this day.

One of my favorite series. I think the RE3 storyline was meant to be different. In RE2 Daedulus mentioned that "your stars will be replaced by ours" and "we will all be going home. In the end of RE2 you are at the Gulf of Mexico and after exploding the fleet you see a hulking mass of messed up planet. I believe Earth was transported to their home system but in RE3 they changed that and made it a wormhole in NYC. I believe RE3 was supposed to be you finding pieces of grey tech to build the "Prometheus weapon" after which it will be used on the chimera and earth would remained trapped in the chimera system. Humanity would then have to adapt to life in the new system.

Two things, not criticisms, but slight corrections; forgivable since the lore was changed: 1. The lowest ranks did not have six eyes, menials only had two eyes and if I recall, two light nubs where eyes could go. 2. pure-strains were centipede-like in appearance and a few of them were contained in observation containers on Earth. I played the original over ten times, so one notices such things; on the eighth time over the ending gives you a job offer. I applied, no response. :'(

[@PhoenixArtyom]

Good video but one thing, the angry night was in reference to Russia being overrun by the "Cloven" not the Chimera. A video on the Cloven would be interesting though not much information is known about them except for some documents and few sightings in one game.

[@jerryx3253]

Artabryski Baiekvytoi Isn’t Cloven mutated Russian soldiers who accepted Chimera virus vaccines that show aggressive behavior and decided to dessert the battlefield.

[@PhoenixArtyom]

Jerry Xiao Yes basically, it was an early attempt at a vaccine and Doctor Malikov used pure chimera DNA to create it. Injecting people with this DNA subjected them to a slight mutation and induced madness. Due to them being half chimera half human and completely mad they are friends to no one, although they somehow coexist with the Chimera they are not allied at all.

[@jerryx3253]

Artabryski Baiekvytoi There is the theory that Cloven is actually inducing conflicts between humans and Chimeras (such as the York incident) to gather both human and Chimera technology in order boost their own technological level and put them into their use. And there is also sightings of Cloven practicing religious rituals in a form of congregation.

[@PhoenixArtyom]

Have not seen anything about the tech but I have seen the rituals, it was a preservation of their human past.

[@thitipongkasemwarit3560]

The question is how did Malikov get the Pure Chimera DNA from anyway? Did he just travel all the way to Siberia(Tunguska Site) to get it? And how do Pure Chimera exactly looks like? (I still cannot imagine how's that worm armor looking creature that were kept in SPRA tube class storage in Resistance 2/Concept Art and fossil found in Resistance 3 is Pure Chimera) Did Malikov ever found any Grey Tech artifact in Russia? Why didn't Tsar asking help from the West in first place? Did he became paranoid of US betrayal? (SPRA already knew it's too late to save Russia so that's why they only pick up a few important survivors like Malikov) How was the living condition looks like in Russia(even Communist was defeated. Lenin and his party fail to overthrow Tsar)? Are they the same like USSR or worse? What kind of person Tsar really is? Ruthless? Tyranny? Too paranoid? Or he's no different from Joseph Stalin? "Purge" And most importantly, I wish they make another Resistance that take place in Russia during 1930-1940 until the Fall of Motherland in the late 1950. The opening game should be like Joseph Capelli(now's 60 years old) or Capelli son found a secret diary of Malikov in SPRA office in 1980. Each page that he read is another chapter to play and reveal a secret of what's happening in Russia.

The Templin institute should open an online gaming store. For the level of quality they're after for their videos...Patreon isn't going to cut it.

[@richardkirstein2415]

I’ve always wanted to have one on the COG from Gears of War.

[@tronmaster5704]

Richard Kirstein Agreed!

[@Cornbreadfed420]

Fall of man was so simple yet so fun.. Com'on Sony remake resistance . Spent hrs playing online..I remember trying to sleep after playing and target bomber noises in my sleep😊

[@varkr2066]

I wish they would expand more lore on this universe. I just bought the books. I'm such a huge fan.

[@commanderwolf395]

Beautiful as always guys, you always make these factions more dramatic and intense with the music and everything and I love it it actually makes me want to play the resistance games again. It gets me so pumped up now too, plus I always did want too know about the chimera too. Love you guys at the Templin Institute and I love your work as always please keep going. You guys are changing lives and people's perception on these factions. :D

[@PerogiPalooka]

Why don't you guys have a patreon set up yet? We all know at this point you put out well researched, well presented and very detailed "research" videos on all our favorite factions. It would not be difficult to garner financial support from us fans.

[@TemplinInstitute]

Stay tuned! We hope to have a patreon in the next month or so.

[@ryanhartigan8758]

Resistance was pretty much one of my favourite games as kid, 2 and 3 were great but 1 with its coop campaign is all me and my cousins played.

[@popeye583]

We need and want a new Resistance game now!!!!!!!!

[@neonknight-1522]

This game honestly had so much potential. The story was really interesting and the enemy's unknown origin just made it so much better. I feel truly sad its dead now...

[@silvertemplar8061]

Παναγιώτης Κάραλης Maybe not it can possibly return.

[@neonknight-1522]

CR3AT1VE SPECTRUM I dont think the company is interested in making a new resistance game

[@Nightmare78hAlo]

I hope we see a return of Resistance one day, i think a more horror focused shooter could work very well too in its setting.

[@Exo-Elite]

YES! It's amazing to still see talk about this game!

[@chimerasam-]

yesss! finally the Chimera!

[@martinmeza9714]

The rumours of a reboot/remake of the games have a me a littke hyped and happy to fond this vid

[@Gruntvc]

Would love to see a new Resistance game, Killzone too. But I think they both are gonna need reboots to go back to what made each great. Resistance, return to its crazy alternate history WW2 with human military FPS vs the monstrous but mysterious Chimera. Killzone, back to the over the top Science fiction version of WW2. Maybe actually make the game from the helghast point of view. Great vid.

[@inuboy867]

That was freakin creepy, I LOVE IT, awesome work, hope to see more soon, especially the ones I suggested.

[@hiphopopotamus2839]

No mention of the gray tech or the even more advanced, possibly alien, civilization that pushed the chimera off earth millions of years prior?

[@MattPostIt]

Woooow thanks dude this is crazy work!!:) really nostalgic...

[@seanmartin1762]

Anyway you guys could do The Tau Empire from warhammer 40k or maybe the Farsight Enclaves

[@fall0fdark]

Sean Martin hello fellow follower of the greater good

[@andreadallalba9920]

fall0fdark. For the great good!

[@rogaldorn3525]

Your pathetic empire will be crushed under the might of the Imperium if you so much as think of expanding again xeno.

[@bowenc24]

I just loved the whole design of the resistance games. The whole combination of the 1950’s military look with some more modern technology was brilliant. Wish they continued this series, bet it would look great on a ps4

[@hellohello285]

I miss Resistance 2 ;(

[@AdornByFire]

Bring back this series!

[@4390BigBoss]

One of my favorite game franchises ever! What happened to all the great SciFi games?

[@nobleking7636]

Please give this game a reboot Insomiac! Resistance was seriously a good creative game

[@superguyps3]

I miss the resistance especially the multiplayer

[@greengiant5608]

I have never really known about these guys. Thank you!!!
